For the past three years, we’ve gathered with a group of community members from the Lower East Side of Manhattan to reflect on the decade since Hurricane Sandy battered this vibrant historic neighborhood, and envision a thriving climate future through performance-making.
The LES Coastal Community Fellowship culminates on October 22 with Loisaida Renaissance: A Decade Above Water, a free performance event featuring interactive installations, resource sharing, refreshments, and an original play. The event is created by our Fellows: Keno Burckhardt, Jennifer Chiao, Antígona González, Amy Lee, Jonathan Martinez, Joshua Martinez, and Tatyanna Santana. Join us for this very special event:
