SUMMARY:FOREST SONG (Oct 14 & 15)
DESCRIPTION:\nPERFORMANCES (each performance is about an hour long)Saturday, October 14, 2023: 2pm & 4pmSunday, October 15, 2023: 1pm & 3pmInwood Hill Park ( https://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/inwood-hill-park ), Manhattan, New York: A to Inwood / 207 or 1 to 215th St. Enter at Shorakkopoch Rock (Google Maps ( https://goo.gl/maps/pS2EFgQ3WRyF1Hco6 ))\n\n\n\nForest Song is a free musical performance that takes place in the last, original site of Pre-Columbian Mannahatta: Inwood Hill Park. Nestled within a valley, near ancient glacial potholes, caves, and cold springs, musicians are spread throughout the forest, performing a variety of sonic materials. Harmonies are reflected, words appear, and the melodies from revolutionary hymns are re-cycled, all conjuring a human and arboreal conversation. A Forest Song gathers everyone together over distance, a unitary statement that underscores the fundamental relationships that foster all our existences in this world. Over the course of an hour performance, the audience is free to wander the park, to hear the musicians at a distance, while also observing them close-by.\n\n\n\nMyths and stories swirl around our forests, some of them fanciful and fantastic ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forest_Song ), others feed into age-old tropes of colonial settlement ( https://nativenewsonline.net/arts-entertainment/native-new-york-no-manhattan-wasn-t-sold-to-the-dutch-for-24-worth-of-trinkets-and-beads ). They have been many things to humans: a source of fuel, shelter, fear. They are a place of mystery and repose. Forest Song takes these many iterations of human conception of the forest and layers them on top of one another to fashion a poly-narrative: a Native American home, a European folk drama, a technocratic “shelterbelt”, and now a conserved piece of our future. Forests are a mirror for humans: the reflection of our wants and desires throughout our years of existence.\n\n\n\nThe Team:John P.
