A big draw...and some dancing, too

The Big Draw--The Drawing Center's third annual hands-on celebration of drawing for all ages--happens this Saturday at five Lower Manhattan venues:

The Big Draw is guaranteed to change the way you think about drawing. Pick up a free sketchbook and participate in artist-led activities. Bring your imagination and let your creativity flow—no experience necessary!

This year's activities will include a couple of dance-related events:

Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian
11:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Explore how sound and movement can be captured through mark, gesture, and line. Enjoy live dance performances, participate in discussions, and draw the body in motion and repose with Jeffrey Gibson in collaboration with The Heyna Second Sons Singers led by Louis Mofsie and Native American dancers Donna Ahmadi, Tom Pearson, and Michael Taylor. (Performances at 11:00 AM, 12:15, 1:30, and 2:45 PM)

Location: Smithsonian NMAIGeorge Gustav Heye Center, U.S. Custom House (One Bowling Green, Across from Battery Park)

*******************************

World Financial Center Plaza
11:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Hop, mark, and draw your way through Julia Mandle’s creative variation of hopscotch, inspired by the French version known as “escargot.” Members of J Mandle Performance wear artist-designed and cast chalk shoes to create a giant, spiral game board in this one-of-a-kind interactive performance.

Location: World Financial Center Plaza (between Vesey and Liberty Streets, in Battery Park City)
