Rugcar is an on-going performance series, by Christopher Petersen, which takes place with a rug on top of a car. The car is a mobile platform for installation and performance works. Rugcar comes from the need for dance spaces and performance opportunities that lie outside the traditional studio and theater spaces.

Through public performance, Rugcar hopes to engage an audience that wouldn’t otherwise engage in performance. The intention of Rugcar is not to get people to stop and break away from their prescribed day, but to be able to catch a glimpse of something and have this glimpse invoke a later reverie.
