Created by Dance Theater Workshop (See other events)
Nia Love punctuates her 100-hour creative residency, as a part of Dance Theater Workshop’s Studio Series, with two work-in-progress showings of Meet me in Okemah: The Hanging Tree To The Iron Bars: an installation of sorts. Inspired by the lynching of Laura Nelson and her Son in Okemah, OK on May 25, 1911, Love brings together a group of world renowned artists to create a multidimensional installation focused on “opening our eyes so we proceed forward with one another on this planet with and/or without pain”. Collaborators include filmmaker/documentarian Rhonda Haynes, Jazz Musician Antoine Roney’s Africa Project trio, and the visual art work from artist/sculptor Ed Love.The showings will take place at Dance Theater Workshop in the David R. White Studio, Jan 14 - 15 (Thursday - Friday) at 7:30pm. There will be a Post-Show Talk on January 15 (Friday). Tickets are free with a suggested donation of $5 at the door. Tickets can be reserved in person at the box office or by calling (212) 924-0077. Box office hours are Monday - Friday from 5pm - 9pm and Saturday - Sunday from 12pm - 8pm. Dance Theater Workshop is located at 219 West 19th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues.
