AFTERPARTY: The Rothko Studio
Thursday, June 27th 20197:00pm
price: Twice nightly at 7pm and 8:30pm
Peculiar Works Projects' AFTERPARTY: The Rothko Studio is a site-specific, promenade performance in and around the former studio of legendary painter Mark Rothko. Built in 1884 for the YMCA as the Young Men's Institute, 222 Bowery is best known for the many now-famous artists who lived, worked, and played in this landmarked gem. The building's former gymnasium is where Rothko created the infamous "Seagram Murals" commissioned by The Four Seasons restaurant in 1957. AFTERPARTY explores this pivotal moment for downtown artists and offers a rare opportunity to visit this historic studio space.

Imagine your head is a pinball machine. But who's playing?
This spring Racoco presents "TILT", a live performance/construction site swirling movement, wood, live music, tap dance, pinball, and the story of Don Quixote into a visceral experience of a delusional brain.
An installation will be open in the lobby gallery during Abrons business hours (10am – 10pm) featuring an interactive pre-show experience that will begin 45 minutes before curtain. Follow Racoco's journey in the making of TILT, build your own "throne," and play pinball!
TILT is appropriate for ages 6 and up.
Choreographed by Rachel Cohen with music by Lynn Wright and featuring tap dancer Heather Cornell, with performers Toby Billowitz, Rachel Cohen, Remi Harris, Masumi Kishimoto, and Meghan Schardt, and musicians Lynn Wright, Nikki D'Agostino, Eric Eble, and Eric Hoegemeyer.
Sets created with Bill Kennedy
