Processions, a series of three outdoor processionals in areas around Battery Park City engaging some of the most interesting choreographers in New York made it to the front page of Kid On the Town. Read more here. 

Downtown Post NYC has featured Miguel Gutierrez, a choreographer leading one of the Processions on June 13: "introduced a group of people to the history of the area beginning with the Leni Lenape nation from whom he said the land was stolen. He also spoke of the enslaved African-Americans who once lived in Lower Manhattan and who are buried near what is now Chambers Street. Then he taught a series of simple arm and hand movements and led the group in a procession through the park where they were accompanied by the sound of drums. The effect was incantatory in a profound way that seemed to invoke the spirits of those who had been in this place long ago."
