This week at Summer for the City

Lincoln Center's Summer for the City
Lincoln Center's Summer for the City: Together, We Move.

Be moved

This week, movement is everywhere. Encounter Anna Sperber's Bow Echo on Hearst Plaza, where dancers create a new landscape with sculptural objects. Then, dance the night away at a K-Pop Dance Night or a disco party with The Losers Lounge. And find yourself at Declaration, where Lara Downes and special guests present a musical tapestry inspired by a different kind of movement: a road trip across the country.
