Fanfare by Naomi Goldberg Haas
June 19, Whitehall Terminal for the Staten Island Ferry, 4 South St. (at Broad St.), 212-219-9401; 12:30 & 1:30pm, FREE (Also June 22, 24, 26, 27)
I don’t know if you’ve ever been to the Staten Island Ferry Terminal. I’ve been once. It was OK. But if you’re on your way to Staten Island anyway, check out Naomi Goldberg Haas’ contribution to the River To River Festival via the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Sitelines program, a dance in which a dozen dancers of all shapes and sizes commandeer the terminal to perform to Minimalist composer Michael Nyman’s brass compositions.
Bottom Line: I’m a sucker for site-specific dance in the City—remember Noemie LaFrance’s 2003 Descent, which took place in a staircase?—plus it’s free and a good excuse to take a long lunch.
