Bridge Matter/The Reach

Kinesis Project brings the NYC premiere of Bridge Matter/The Reach to our Hudson River home of Riverside Park South.

Bridge Matter / The Reach
Sunday, Sept 21, 2025
Audience gathers at Locomotive Lawn
5:30pm

The performance will last an hour and traverse from Locomotive Lawn (62nd St) to the Transfer Bridge (68th st) - please come prepared to follow along.

Summer on the Hudson and Kinesis Project dance theatre offer a stunning evening experience of dance, music and dramatic colors along the river amongst the unique spaces of Riverside South.

Bridge Matter/The Reach is a dance of care, echoes and how our very human ways of bridging our “cracks” parallel the Earth’s processes. This colorful work is the second collaboration with geologist Dr. Missy Eppes and her colleagues, specifically Dr. Stephen Laubach, both award winning and internationally respected scientists. 

Kinesis Project is a dance organization that creates dance as public art, facilitates educational programs and produces site-specific performances with diverse communities. A company at the forefront of the discussion of placemaking, art engagement and the cultural imperative of art in public space, Kinesis Project dance theatre invents large scale, space-changing, breath-taking experiences. 

 A MAP Fund grantee, Kinesis Project has been developing and creating Bridge Matter/The Reach since 2024 in NYC and Seattle, in partnership with Summer on The Hudson.

Costumes are created by Rebecca Kanach with visual art design by Celeste Cooning
