Free performances of Game Face (about 20 minutes) run now through August 7 and again from August 11-14 at noon and 1pm, Robert Wagner Jr. Park, at the southern end of Battery Park City's Hudson esplanade (4 or 5 train to Bowling Green) as part of the Sitelines08 festival of site-specific dance.
Monica Bill Barnes’ Game Face uses everyday people who have passed through the Robert Wagner Jr. Park as inspiration, with the performers cast as sightseers, sunbathers and Park Rangers. This oddly matched group slowly begins to perform a show, using the entire area as their stage. Made entirely on site, the cast of die-hard dancers perform their hearts out in the midst of tour buses, passing summertime crowds and the heat.
Curated by Nolini Barretto, Sitelines is a presentation of the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and is part of the River to River Festival. For more information on Game Face and other Sitelines presentations, click here.
