When you log onto http://www.webbedfeats.org
because the site doesn't officially launch until June 19th, you are greeted
with an invite to the benefit launch....however, there is a link straight into
the beta site from that page....things are still not 100% functional but more
than enough is there for all to see...the most dance intensive area is the
Promenade page which has a java app involving "creating" a phrase of movement
from 15 photographs and responding to each photograph with text...the rest of
the site is a pretty straight forward call of entries of different art forms
inspired by specific sites in Bryant Park....
Also, for those of you in the NYC area, I'd like to invite you to the launch
POST benefit party which is significant less expensive than the $75 for the
first part of the evening....an email invite is below...for $10 you get dancing
and a generous open bar.....info about that is below....
I would welcome your reactions, questions about this project....I am still in
the process of producing/hiring performers for September 17th....
