Come out to Governors Island for this final performance of ‘White’, the acclaimed dance piece by director Zvi Gothenier, six dancers and composer Scott Killian. It is part of a summer series by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and the River to River Festival. Together they have collaborated to create a piece “using Fort Jay’s historical significance and eerie sense of abandonment to reflect on our attempts to feel secure by arming our borders. The dancers wrap areas of the site with long white gauze strips reminiscent of bandages, slowly creating a web-like sculpture intertwining throughout the space” LMCC.
