Captioning

Presented in collaboration with Works & Process
For many young New York City artists, the rambunctious tradition of Subway Showtime represents their best opportunity to show and improve in front of a live audience. The renegade act of public dance comes charged with the possibility of confrontation and arrest, risks that performer/documentarian Kash Gaines knows all too well. At this in-process sharing of Kash's new project Caged Birds, commissioned by Works & Process for premiere at the Guggenheim, you'll hear intimate stories of dancers' perilous encounters with law enforcement inside and outside the MTA system and see the craft they’ve honed performing on the city's biggest stage and interact with their future ambitions. Don’t miss this first look of both documentary film and live performances providing proof that these uncaged birds can truly fly.
Caged Birds has been developed in Works & Process LaunchPAD residencies at Bethany Arts Community and Bridge Street Theatre.
If you have any questions about this event, please contact Guest Experience at 212-875-5456 or [email protected].
