    Pablo Vargas Lugo's WorkSpace project, Eclipses for Austin, explores solar eclipses as important collective rituals. Total eclipses of the sun provoke astonishment, anxiety, hope, joy, and fear and compel those who witness them to question their place in the world. For Lugo's WorkSpace project, 500 people will gather in the stands of UT 's Darrel K. Royal Texas Memorial Stadium and will stage ten solar eclipses that will occur in Texas over the course of the next 340 years. In a carefully choreographed performance, participants will hold up black and white signs in a choreographed simulation of each eclipse.
