UPDATE! TONIGHT’S SCREENING CANCELED Women In the Dirt: Landscape Architects Shaping Our World Screening This Thursday
Monday, September 12th, 2011| September 15, 2011 | ||
| 7:00 pm | to | 10:00 pm |
Well, it’s just not our year for screenings…
NY ASLA has decided to cancel tonight’s screening of Women In the Dirt. They’ll be rescheduling sometime in October in a different venue. You can find out more on their Facebook page.
Women in the Dirt is about the groundbreaking work of seven landscape architects. Their projects combine awareness of architectural and landscape principles, concern with sustainability, safety and beauty. The scope of their work ranges from private homes to vast public projects.
Through conversations with the landscape architects in their offices, or in the stunning spaces they’ve designed, the film explores each woman’s personal aesthetics and approach to their discipline. Women in the Dirt shows how these “masters of the obvious” create the sublime.
The New York chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects will be presenting this premiere screening at Solar 1 on Thursday September 15 at 7pm. Solar One is delighted to present this program- Stuy Cove Park was designed by a female landscape architect, Donna Walcavage. You can learn more about the design and construction of the Park on the Solar One website HERE.
Guest Presenter: Achva Stein, Professor & Director, Graduate Landscape Architecture Program at CUNY
Thursday September 15 at 7pm at Solar One
Rain date will be determined 24 hours in advance, if necessary.

ProjectLIMB creates, evolves, and performs work where real time relationships, rather than content, are primary.
Handleless is an investigation of all our interactions, an attempt at revelation of the places we inhabit.
Most performance is about control. Controlling the lights, controlling the sounds, controlling the movement, and controlling the experience. Handleless
ProjectLIMB works to bring performer, space, and audience back into relation. Using an immersive language that joins us all together in a celebration of this moment. Which is infinite and can never be “understood” nor separate from. A living space is opened, where transformation and illumination act independent of design. Just as Solar One receives its power from the Sun, so Handleless will take its cues from the multitude of stimulus that is Stuyvesant Cove.
projectLIMB is
Gabriel Forestieri – Director and Dancer
Benjamin Asriel, Melissa Guerrero, Ted Johnson, Emily Moore – Dancers
Loren Dempster – Composer
Django Carranza – Percussionist
