Out of Bounds 2017

PROTOTYPE: Out of Bounds is a series of short, free performances of new works in public spaces. Out of Bounds ’17 features three emerging female composer/performers responding to the voices of female musicians from the radical punk music landscape of 1970s New York City.

Each performance will be recorded in late December in front of the sites of former iconic NY music venues: Max’s Kansas City, CBGB’s, and Mount Morris Park, site of the Harlem Cultural Festival. These videos will then be displayed in the HERE lobby throughout the duration of the festival. Each public performance will also be live streamed via Facebook live and projected in the HERE lobby in real time.
