On 12.05.11, four students from Richard Schechner's Ritual, Play and Performance class "channeled the spirit of the playa" by inviting us to install a mini-Burning Man on the 6th floor of Tisch School of the Arts.
Burning Man takes place annually in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. Each year Black Rock City is built, creating a space Burners refer to as the "playa"
It was our job to bring a little of the playa to the Performance Studies Department at NYU. Hence "playita NYU."
We are the Playa Traveling Cirkus, or PTC. You could saw we are Burning Man on tour, at it is really up to you whether we exist at all.
For our first project, we helped four students occupy NYU! We had an amazing burn...but was it good for you?
If you missed it, we feel sorry for you. Here is an archive of our experience.
With love ablaze,
Lt. Yomabitch, Alchemical Trickster, Sir Loves-a-Lot, and Chloreen d'Booty
