Get Blindfolded At The Library - It’s Art!
Looking for something free and fun to do Saturday at around 2 pm? Go to our Andrew Heiskell Braille and Talking Book Library at 40 W 20th Street in Chelsea and check out dance group Dana Salisbury and the No-See-Ums, who will perform “Bark,” one of their original “unseen dances.” See, after you arrive, they’ll take your stuff, blindfold you, walk you into the theater and spend the next 45 minutes or so dancing around you while making noises. They also move you, ask you to lay on the floor, ask you to stand, ask you to sit and so on. At first, it seems a wee bit weird. By the end, it’s simply amazing. You really feel like you’ve gone on a trip or something. The dance forces your other senses to come alive, and your imagination really runs wild. It’s very cool. Check out what WNYC and the Staten Island Advance wrote about it. Now go and see for yourself! Want more info? Get it here.
