Dance/NYC is pleased to join with Buglisi Dance Theatre, its partner The September Concert, and professional colleagues and friends from the NYC dance community on the eighth presentation of the 9/11 Table of Silence Project performance ritual for peace at Lincoln Center streamed live around the world. Since the inaugural performance in 2011, nearly 1200 dancers have performed in the Table of Silence Project, and over several hundred thousand people have viewed the live stream across all 50 states and in 129 countries.

A Call to Action: New Yorker for Dance Jacqulyn Buglisi invites all dance companies and dancers with professional experience to unite with her in this transcendent message of compassion and tolerance, to touch the hearts of many from the cultural capital of America to the world. Your passionate performance makes this message a powerful testimonial of freedom for all people and is imperative at this time in our history.-jb

The Table of Silence Project represents the common threads of humanity which unite all mankind into a single force with common goals and aspirations regardless of race, culture, or religion. Through this event, we wish to achieve the dual purpose of celebrating and honoring peace and freedom for all people suffering oppression, through listening, a united moment of silence - a call for Peace in our world. - Jacqulyn Buglisi
