About the Project

In collaboration with the community organization University Settlement, Creative Time presented four performance events as part of the First Annual Sara D. Roosevelt Park Summer Festival. The program included a dance work by choreographers Charles Dennis and Risa Jaroslow, as well as live music and events by The Spirit Ensemble and The Klezmatics.

 

The festival acknowledged and celebrated nine months of coordinated community efforts to restore and preserve the Sara D. Roosevelt Park, on the grounds of which an African-American burial site had recently been discovered.
