NewTown has commissioned 8 modern dancers from Lineage Dance to respond to the perforated metal stage of the bus shelters. The silhouetted forms will move through gravity and light as they negotiate hard metal, waiting riders and passing pedestrians, responding only to the sounds and scapes of the street.
Dance STOP will be visible from bus, car, on foot, and streaming live here on our website.
Bus routes Metro #181, Foothill Transit #187, and Pasadena ARTS Bus #10. Take the 210 freeway, Hill exit. South on Hill, East on Colorado.
Supported by:
