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
