Audience gathers near the beach in Ft Washington Park
4:45pm
To get to the performance: Take the A train to 181 and use the street, to the cross-over bridge, then follow the Greenway toward the Little Red Lighthouse. There will be signs to confirm you are on the right path! If you prefer a flatter journey along the river, enter the park at 158th St and come up the Greenway. **NOTE: Stay aware of bicyclists! They move fast**
The performance will last 45 minutes and traverse the space - 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 with the iconic view of the George Washington Bridge.
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 | Music by Johnny Butler + Musicians
