Breathing with Strangers, in Riverside Park South

in BREATHING WITH STRANGERS

PERFORMANCE PROGRAM

Breathing with Strangers is a work in development

created by Melissa Riker/Kinesis Project dance theatre

How do you see others?

What is generosity?

How does kindness occur?

What is helping?


“I remember remembering you.”


CHOREOGRAPHER'S NOTE

BREATHING WITH STRANGERS

This work is inspired by New York City and the transit we use to move to and fro within it. I love the subway system, and I am in awe, and fascinated by the moments of collective sleepy quiet on a Monday morning, the intense proximity we share as New Yorkers, and how good we (generally) are at keeping space, and peace between us.


We have told one another stories of kindness between strangers, talked about what those moments of kindness require to occur, and how often they happen in silence. We’ve drawn maps of the space between people, we’ve invented together, and now we have worked together to place these tales and stories and experiences in the inspiring pathways of Riverside South. We look forward to continuing this work in Snug Harbor, and then Inwood Hill Park.
