Bust of Sylvette Plaza, Silver Towers
Performed by second year NYU Tisch Dance BFA students, the site-specific work on Bust of Sylvette Plaza in Silver Towers proposes dance as a container for expanded ideas around community within the natural world and the built environment. The dancers encounter and negotiate social cues and energetic impulses as they relate to the complexities of the urban landscape. Compositions by students in Creative Research classes led by Rashaun Mitchell.

Sasaki Garden, Washington Square Village
This event took the form of an open class where first year NYU Tisch Dance undergraduates created and showed short site-specific dances created especially for Sasaki Garden. The students were tasked with making work inspired by and expressive of the garden’s unique features – its architecture, textures, colors; its fauna, human and otherwise; and its history – allowing this beautiful haven in the middle of bustling downtown Manhattan to speak through them. Compositions by students in Creative Research classes led by Jeremy Nelson.
