The Piers Project
6 – 8pm
Location
This cross-disciplinary, collaborative contemporary dance work was inspired by the radical world of the piers on the West Side of Manhattan in the 1970s and 80s. In the post-Stonewall era, before the advent of the AIDS crisis, the crumbling relics of the piers became a space of sexual freedom and artistic expression. Choreographer Matthew Westerby drew from historical and artistic photos and writings from the time to create a dance work that evokes the freedom, exuberance, anonymity, and dangers of the piers.
The Piers Project is co-presented by Matthew Westerby Company and Hudson Guild Theatre Company.
RSVPIn the event of rain or inclement weather, this program will be rescheduled to Friday, September 30, same time and location. We will post updates on this page and registrants will be notified via email by 11am the day of.
