chashama 112 Times Square Art Space
112 West 44th Street
New York, NY
(between Broadway & Sixth Ave. / Subway: 1,2,3,B,D,F,N,Q,R,V,W to 42nd St., 7 & shuttle to Times Square. Bus: M104, M42 to Sixth Ave., M5, M6, M7 to 43rd St.)
Join the InterDependence Project and TREe for an InterAct on May 10th at chashama 112 called "Take Refuge Here". From noon to 1:30 in an empty Times Square storefront, our ensemble of meditators and passersby will be provided a place to sit together. The space will be arranged with an island of cushions in the center for sitters, and room around them for witnesses.
Sitters will be cued by a bell every 20 minutes or so to rotate between facing inwards and facing outwards, while witnesses may choose to join in if they wish. The store will be transformed into an experience of calm, communal and mindful action within a hurricane of consumerism.
The Interdependence Project is based in New York City's East Village and a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that focuses on building community through meditation, activism, and the arts.
Theatre Research Ensemble = a participatory arts ensemble researching how creative practices can lead to a more mindful and sustainable culture.
