Friday, Oct 19th, 7pm. 7 Navy Pier Court @Urby (Front Street & Navy Pier), Staten Island NY 10304. (One block from Bay Street)

Meet us at the Staten Island Arts gallery, where our candlelight stroll begins. We’ll walk from Urby to Tappen Park, then to MakerPark, then to the Urby waterfront as we explore Sonic Gates, the large kinetic sculptures installed in each of those locations.

Each audience member will be given bells and glow sticks as we stroll along this 4-block circuit around Stapleton.

Special musical guests: Bobbaloo Basey and Tracey Wright on pennywhistle.

Featured dancers: Melisande Echinique, Alyssa Rapp, Rosita Roldan, and Shawna Salmon – creation dance collective.

Costumed dancers will lead us along the way, and at each location we’ll pause for a reading from Kelly Link’s fantastical short stories, Pretty Monsters. Dancers will perform at each location, then they’ll lead us to the next site. Our stroll will return to the Staten Island Arts gallery, where we’ll have drinks, conversation and fellowship. Free, fun and family-friendly!
