Lincoln Center Out of Doors
presents great fun for the entire family all around the open air
plazas of the Center. Music, dance, plays and activities of all
styles -- and from all over -- guaranties fun for all ages
The theme of the 2005 season is
"The Spirit of the Blues" a celebration of American blues and
jazz, with nods to the blues-inflected sounds of Spanish
Flamenco, Portuguese Fado and forms from Africa and South
America This year's special commissions are
Big City Blues: A City and Country Mouse Adventure, an
urban "tail" with breathtaking giant puppetry, and
Once There Was a Village, a history of the dynamic ethnic
whirlpool that is Manhattan's Lower East Side
As always, the event kicker-offer is the ever-popular Playday,
when kids from 8 to 80 can participate in a variety of music,
dance, games and art workshops presented simultaneously in
around Lincoln Center's plazas. Highlights include performances
by some of New York's best subway musicians; Spanish and
Chinese drumming; perfecting your skills with members of the Big
Apple Circus; and learning how to move your feet to the beat,
whether it's from the Middle East, Africa or Ireland Now in its
sixth season at Out of Doors, La
Casita: A Home for the Heart, extends the great oral
traditions of the spoken word with performances by a host of
poets, troubadours, bands, comedians, singers, percussionists,
and storytellers. There are featured performances all throughout
the season that include music, dance and theater from a widely
diverse area It's all exciting. It's all
entertaining. It's all free! Week 1
