USC students will drag concrete blocks tied to ropes around campus in their reinvention of Drag (1984). When they meet someone they know, they will switch from dragging to carrying the block, until they again meet someone they know, at which point they will put the block down and push it, and so on and so forth. This event is coordinated by USC MFA students Emily Mast and Lawrence Rengert.

Drag (1984)
A block of concrete is carried through the city. At each meeting with an acquaintance the participant changes the method for transporting the block—dragging, carrying-by-hand, or pushing. The sequences are repeated as long as possible.
