SpinCycle is a physical, social and artistic framework created to encourage trust, collaboration and honest storytelling – all of which feel especially needed as we begin to emerge from over a year of being in a global pandemic. It uses the premise that people are more willing to be open when we are actively engaged in some form of physical labour – in this case pedalling a stationary bicycle and using a spinning wheel to create yarn.
