Tomorrow night, July 19. South Waterfront. The Big Field (SW Moody and Curry). An hour before sunset. (Sunset, incidentally, on July 19 is at 8:52 PM.) Cast of dozens.  Installation meets contemporary dance.

As part of the Artist in Residence Program at the South Waterfront, artist Bill Will has created an installation called “20 x 20.” Choreographer Linda K. Johnson has made a piece for dancers Daniel Addy, Katie Arrants, Tracy Broyles, Rebecca Harrison, Tahni Holt, Kathleen Keogh, Eric Nordstrom and Noelle Stiles. Lighting designer Bill Boese and sound artist Seth Nehil have lit and scored the longform piece (it lasts until moonrise).

Also, the sound is delivered by bicyclists with portable amps, there’s a pedestrian movement choir, and Gregg Bielemeier, Lyndee Mah, Linda Austin, Wendy Hambidge, Margretta Hansen, Caroline Oakley, Paul Scheer, Lila Hurwitz are all doing “interventions.”

We, audience, are invited to bring a picnic, hang out, bear witness.

See you there.
