Join us in our sparkling experiment as we bring THREAD to life along the pathways of Riverside Park South.
Perhaps there will be live singing and violin, drawing of dances and moments to wonder - there will certainly be plenty of opportunities to enjoy this brand new, large scale work as it leads, surprises and meanders up the River’s side.

THREAD is our third dance work based on research by Dr. MIssy Eppes and her colleagues, Dr Stephen Laubach and Dr. Jill A. Marshall.
ABOUT THE WORK THREAD considers the similarities between the delicate, feathery mineral elements that interconnect and create bonds in rock; the thin strands of flax that combine to become rope strong enough to haul a ship; the movement of trees as "agents of progressive rock cracking" (Dr. Jill A. Marshall); and the invisible thread that keeps humans connected to those we love across distance.
