Midnight Monday deadline and Monica Bill Barnes in the Financial District at 1pm (optional - if you miss it you're crazy!)

As I mentioned at the Joyce after the incredible Battleworks show, we need some more dance in our lives! If you can make it downtown a little bit early on Tuesday, Monica Bill Barnes will be treating the public to a FREE performance. She's fabulous and this is a brand new work. Everyone who can come, should. Feel free to bring along anyone you like. (Twin sisters included;) Details follow your assignment......

2 Assignments for Tuesday's class:

Free Response to Battleworks. (minimum 500 words. It can be as long as you like...)
Write a creative response to the show in whatever form you want. Again, like the last round of free responses, bring us physically into your piece with rich details about the moment(s) you describe. Having trouble? Find an entrance to the piece. Maybe a moment that transported you. Maybe it was something Robert said. It's up to you. Just don't forget a title!!! And include a word count at the end.

A two-line review of Battleworks. (Two sentences only!)
Imagine that we need a snappy quote to put under the picture on the poster outside the Joyce. You are not trying to advertise the piece - meaning, you don't have to write a promotion or an ad. Write your two-line review. As in, you have two sentences to tell a friend what the show was. See what you can do!

Email both assignments to me by midnight on Monday. Bring THREE copies to class. Email me if you need copies. 24 hours till deadline!!!! Go and write!!!!! (after you read the message below, of course....)

Afterwards, we'll go our separate ways until we meet again for class at 4:30. If you'd like to come back up to High 5 in-between the show and class, you are all more than welcome.

Directions to Robert Wagner Jr. Park (click here for map): Take the 4 or 5 train to the Bowling Green stop. The park is located across from the Ritz Carlton Hotel. Walk west from the Bowling Green subway stop and look for an observation deck which frames the Statue of Liberty.
