Swingles | Wiseman+Kennedy
Swingles is Elsewhere’s premiere ‘dating’ service for mutual encounters on our storefront theater swings (designed by visiting artist Colin Bliss). Swingles arranges a "blind-date" with you and one other person. The encounter is partially curated by a Swingles professional, asking questions and provoking participation as both people swing together on Elsewhere's storefront stage. Brought to you by Wiseman+Kennedy for Elsewhere.
