How do you define uptown or downtown work? Through aesthetics? Culture? Geography?
For eight weeks in Spring 2008 Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Harlem Arts Alliance, and The Field brought together a group of artists, five from “uptown,” five from “downtown,” to explore these questions while developing short works for performance. The workshop consists of eight consecutive weekly Fieldwork sessions in which artists show works in progress and share non-directorial feedback with a moderator present. The workshops culminate with performances in Harlem and Lower Manhattan. Both performances are followed by a discussion with the artists.
