Out of Line

Out of Line features bold, experimental performances from New York City’s most exciting and unclassifiable artists. In this monthly series, performing artists create genre-bending pieces tailored to, and inspired by, the unique site of the High Line. These participatory performances invite audiences on unexpected journeys through music, movement, conversation, and play.

In line with public health officials’ recommendations on social distancing related to COVID-19, our public programming is paused until further notice.
