7 HORSEMEN
by Nick Lesley, Stanley Ruiz, and Scarlet Rivera
7 Horsemen is a multimedia performance that explores the 7 most likely causes to end human civilization. The seven short performances addressing each potential scenario will occur as vignettes throughout the night in an immersive multi-media environment; employing theatrical and musical performances amd video projection . Beware of imminent doom and good-humored entertainment in the performance piece to bring the audience together in a shared experience of the apocalypse.
TRANSMIGRATION
by Natalia Rodriguez and Michael Dotolo
Transmigration is a multimedia performance based on 'woven' narratives of individuals and their experience during a time and place of war. Often these individuals will find themselves behaving in contrastinly different ways because of the necessity to cope with anger, frustration, and grief. There are stories of relocation and stories of struggle to find a life with meaning when daily concerns and routines have changed so dramatically.

MASSIVE KNIT

"To use parks and squares and public buildings as part of this street
fabric; use them to intensify and knit together the fabric's complexity
and
multiple use." **
-From "The Death and Life of Great American Cities" by Jane Jacobs
EVENT We would like to provide a collective, connected, community of
individuals to honor the late Jane Jacobs who passed away on April 25,
2006.
Jane Jacobs was an activist, a community leader, a writer, an urban
planner, and a hero to many people. One of her great feats was as the chairman of the Joint Committee to Stop the Lower Manhattan Expressway. This expressway would have run through Washington Square Park. We plan to gather in this park on the 23rd of May to memorialize her and her ideas. We want to convene as a community in a loving and subtle way, honoring the park as well as her memory. We plan to do this by knitting the park together.
Knitting is a solitary art form, often resulting in gifts for others. A
knitting circle allows one to be social with this solitary art. A city,
likewise, is a solitary place to live. There is so much crowding and
destination in daily life that one often gets lost in their own world.
Parks allow people to come together and be alone peacefully in their solitary life and form temporary and permanent communities. Parks and knitting circles are both public and accessible: but private enough that one can have meaningful communication and a community within their confines.
Using individual sensibilities, we plan to create an open structure in
the park. Connecting various elements of the park together such as trees, benches and other structures, we will connect a community and a memory. As people enter the park (the meeting spot is under the arch) they will be directed to a spot in the park to start knitting. People can arrive anytime starting at 5.30 p.m. and stay as long as they like. They should tie, knit, string together long thin pieces of material, and before leaving, tie the material off to a piece of the park, or another individual yarn. By the end of the evening we should have a string of material connecting the park together. We will have connected to the park and to the other individuals as a community.
