Ushers for Huge Dance Event Needed
Seeking ushers for an exciting large-scale NYC dance event!
23 Skidoo is A site-specific Flashmob inspired dance event at the Flatiron building, June 21st, 2012 (with a rain date of June 22nd).
We are looking for dance lovers, artists, or simply anyone looking to be part of an amazing event in the heart of New York, 1 East 23rd Street. Ushers would be responsible for handing out programs to our diverse audience.
Ushers must be available from 3-6:30 pm on the day of the event (most likely the 21st but possibly the 22nd in case of rain).
23 SKIDOO ~ HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURE INSPIRE BOLD DANCE PRODUCTION
Flatiron Flashmobesque, this large scale site-specific performance will involve more than 50 dancers! Rifting off of the historical legend which coined the term, 23 Skidoo. It is said that the ship-like shape of the Flatiron building carved a windy slice in the New York Skyline which would blow women's dresses up in the early 1900's, exposing seldom seen legs and causing men to loiter and watch. Local authorities would say '23 Skidoo' to the men, which meant they better stop their gazing and get out while the getting was good. This project is at the heart of site-specific dance, where an architectural structure informs a narrative, a movement and a phenomenon. In celebration of the 110th anniversary of the building, the spectacle will take place on June 21st, 2012.
unpaid but create production support credit and fun!
