Summer 2011 Creative Walks

Take in the rich kaleidoscope of sounds, smells and shapes on the gorgeous elevated High Line Park, and turn your experience into art! Using the theatrical improv technique of Soundpainting, performance artist Leese Walker will guide you as you respond to the stimuli of the High Line and together create a type of traveling orchestra made up of your words and movements. What will the rushing taxis, native flowers and lazy sunbathers trigger in you, and what will come out of your collective response? 

The High Line. 1h30. 1.5 miles walk. $25 per person. Up to 15 people. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Wear white if possible. Meet 10 minutes before start at the Gansevoort entrance to the High Line, located at Gansevoort and Washington Street, 2 blocks south of 14th Street. Please go up the stairs and meet at the top of the stairs by the benches.

What is Mother Nature trying to say to you? Engage in deep listening with musician Kaoru Watanabe in beautiful Prospect Park. As you move around, blindfolded, in a safe environment, you will hear the sounds of Japanese drums and flutes weave in and out of the music of the wind and the trees. With your perception of sound and space becoming radically altered, what sounds you contribute, in this conversation with nature, might surprise you.

Prospect Park, Brooklyn. 1 hour. $25 per person. Up to 12 people. Wear comfortable clothes. Meet 10 minutes before start in front of the Brooklyn Central Public Library (10 Grand Army Plaza)

Dates & Times:
Saturday, July 16, 11am; Wednesday, July 20, 7pm; Thursday, July 21, 7pm; or Saturday, July 23, 11am
