'Water II' at Pier 26 on the 25 & 26 Jun 2005 This is a free open air event.

chashama, in association with The River Project & Friends of Hudson River Park, presents Water II on the 25 & 26 Jun 2005.

This site-specific movement installation by Human Kinetics Movement Theater is conceived & created by Yana Schnitzler. This outdoor event will take place at The River Project, Pier 26 and is FREE and open to the public.

Water II features five dancers draped in flowing fabric, representing the life and movement of New York�s Hudson river. With slow and fluid movement, the dancers unfold, stretch-out and shape the fabric creating a human extension of the Hudson. This work features Human Kinetics Movement Theater artistic director Yana Schnitzler along with performers Meghan Ballog, Veruska Cantelli, Orit Greenberg and Akiki Bo Nishijima.

Founded in 2002 by Yana Schnitzler, Human Kinetics Movement Theater blends dance & the visual arts to create site-specific movement installations that transform the environment, revealing to its audience new possibilities of perception and meaning. One of Schnitzler�s main working principles is to explore different aspects of fabric in relation to the human body.

chashama is a non-profit New York City arts organization with a nine-year history of supporting artists of all genres and experience levels by offering them access to space and major support resources.
