Get Involved: Hudson River Pageant

The Hudson River Pageant is looking for volunteer artists who can help to make this year's event spectacular!  The Pageant is being held on Saturday, May 21 and includes a parade about the environment with 13 site-specific performances in the downtown section of the Hudson River Park.



Artists who participate will be asked to don a cool costume and also, if you'd like, perform in a short 5-minute piece directed by Cindy Sibilsky.

Here are key dates & info:
Tuesday, May 10 6-8pm Costume Fitting
Saturday, May 14 12-4pm Rehearsal
Saturday, May 21 8am-6 or 7pm Pageant! This is going to be really fun, it seems like a long day, but you get to have amazing make-up artists paint your body, be in spectacular costumes, and you'll be dancing to a samba band and then an afro-cuban band. Not to mention that you'll be around incredible artists- costume designers, a singer from Cirque du Soleil (!), musicians from around the world and a ton of wholesome hippies.
**We ask that everyone who is in the parade leave Sunday, May 22 open as a rain date.
If you'd like to sign up, please contact Ines at mail@earthcelebrations.com or call 212-777-7969.

This is a great way to become active in the environment of NYC and to promote your Planet Connections show!  Let us know if you take part!
