Hudson River Park just north of Chelsea Piers

The Hudson River has a rich history described in many forms. Its history of use by Europeans began 401 years ago. The Clearwater Revival has led its clean-up with Pete Seeger at the Helm. Being at this site can be a reminder of the mightiness of the river and how to care for her. Help convey messages of careful sewage flow, the use of boats and the status of fishing, and the impact of the changes of the tides. Also relate to the rest of New York State discovering the source of our potable water, the condition of the aquaducts, and the dangers of hydro-fracking. Communicate the potency of our life choices every time we drink, bathe, flush or drop something in the gutter by participating in educational exchange, dance art-making, or participatory action. Help by being our audience, our guides, and our human forces caring for safe water.
The ChoreographersMartha Eddy has organized the event and choreographed our version of the Global Water Movement Choir (together with the GWD steering committee). Additional choreography is shared by Lori Bellilove, Olga El, Valerie Green, Elena Lopez Sans, Pamela Sue Mann with Donna Lewis, Juri Nishio, and others, plus dozens of wonderful New York dancers (such as soloist Sydney Schiff). Surrounding the performance will be Poetry by Carola Burroughs and Dances of Universal Peace.
Varied and evolving human and water and live and recorded music
In and around the water's edge, the rocks, and the grass. And even up against the wall for HandsAcrosstheSands.org support (linking hands at the Riverbank).
Let us know if you have information about our environmental condition that you would like to share at the performance. Come dance with us on the day of or for the rehearsed sections during late June (Thur and Friday June 23 and 24). Be a live music maker or composer. Help with word wall, water poetry slam. Design last minute costumes or graphics. Be onsite performance tech support or videographer. Be live streaming director. Help spread the word. Get people to come out - rain or shine. Keep dancing. Brush and wash with less water. Adjust to weather with clothes versus gas, electricity and wood. Track your plastic and write to your representatives to stop fracking.
Walk West on 23rd to River. Then toward 24th Streets and the Hudson River. We're in the Park before the Pier. Although you may find us up and down and along the piers too. Just depends on how many we are
