DESCRIPTION: On July 21, 2016 as part of Friends of the High Line’s first-ever Up Late event on the High Line, visitors were invited to roam the park after-hours and be transported as dancers, musicians, and visual artists illuminated the park with installations, participatory performances, and endless hidden surprises. With Ox Prowl, mysterious dancers in giant glowing lanterns guided people through the park; participants enjoyed moments of intimate encounters and spontaneous performances. Carte Blanche Performance is a Brooklyn-based contemporary dance company that creates sensual, joyful works in nontraditional spaces, inviting the audience to permeate the performer’s space.
