Parliament (RSVP required)

The Segal Theatre The Graduate Center, CUNY, 365 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY, United States

Over the past decade, at least a thousand people (among them philosophers, office workers, professional dancers, scientists, students, and artists) have participated in Parliament sessions from Athens to NYC. For all its potency, Parliament resists any attempt to describe what it is. It resists authorship too. Choreographer and artist Michael Kliën prefers to say he discovered it, or wished for it, from within “a felt urgency that things are just not sustainable." The Martin E. Segal Center is proud to present the third New York iteration of Parliament in cooperation with Social Practice CUNY. RSVP required.
