del.icio.usThe Artichoke Dance Company is letting you direct its latest show, with its innovative, interactive production, “U R HERE,” which allows you to choose the time, location and music of each performance.
Here’s how it works: This weekend, Artichoke dancers will perform ensemble dances and duets at outdoor locations in Park Slope. Just load up your mp3 player with the company’s original music compositions, then go to any of the sites — where dances start about every 10 minutes, choose your music, and watch what unfolds!
Lynn Neuman, the company’s director, said that the concept was intended to “bring the show closer to [the audience] and involve them more. The audience is actually using them as tools to create their own experience,” she said.
Artichoke Dance Company presents “U R HERE” at 2 pm on June 14 and June 15, at J.J. Byrne Park (Fifth Avenue between Third and Fourth streets in Park Slope) and will continue at five more locations in the surrounding neighborhood. Admission is free, but you can rent an mp3 player for $10 at the Old Stone House in J.J. Byrne Park. For more information, a map of the event, and to download music compositions, visit www.artichokedance.org.
