NYC Dance Community Photo this Sunday

This Sunday, a community photo is being taken of the New York City dance community. This project is initiated by Sarma (Belgium) and produced by Chez Bushwick (USA).

The target audience is anyone who considers himself or herself to be part of the New York dance community: individuals and ensembles are welcome to come and be part of the group picture. The resulting photograph will be labeled Dance Community Picture New York 2007, and will be distributed on websites and in art and dance magazines.

The photo will be taken in Northeast quadrant of Bryant Park, which is on 42nd street between 5th and 6th avenues. This event will take place this Sunday, September 23rd at 2:00 PM.

Here's the map location:

Toward end of the video interview I did last week with Jonah Bokaer, founder Chez Bushwick, he discusses this upcoming community photo.

Chez Bushwick received a Bessies award at Tuesday night's New York dance and performance awards program:

For catalyzing an international, multi-generational, radical and sustainable arts scene in New York City at the turn of this new century, and in so doing reuniting dance with the charged pulse of the cultural moment, and for making the L train trek "de rigueur" lest we miss an evening's supernatural magic.
