A group of artists and performers organized by choreographer Kathy Westwater has developed an unusual movement-based project that responds to their research and on-site study of the Freshkills Park site. Through a combination of dance, writing, and play, PARK concerns itself with our construction and consumption of nature. It has previously been performed in locations as varied as Yosiemite Park and Dance Theater Workshop in Chelsea. This incarnation of the project will follow an abridged tour of the Freshkills Park site and will involve audience participation for its duration (45 minutes to one hour), on the top of the scenic North Mound.
Buses will provide transportation from the St. George Ferry Terminal to the Freshkills Park site and return attendees to the terminal by 1 p.m. This event is free, but space is limited, and registration is required. To RSVP please email doug.elliott@parks.nyc.gov or call (212) 788-8277.
