AUNTS/Beach Sessions @ Rockaway Beach
AUNTS/Beach Sessions at The Castle at Rockaway
AUGUST 25 and 26, 2018
A group of over a dozen artists will transform the neighborhood and take over three diverse locations – the beach, the boardwalk, and Rockaway’s architectural marvel, The Castle – for a two-day performance with multiple performers, open dance parties, multidisciplinary, body/non-body based, time orientated, finished/experimental/process art. Audiences will be able to join, follow, wander and experience as many as or as few performances as they choose, creating their own experiences through chance encounters.
