WHAT IT IS:
Immersive Performance Tours of Gowanus bring audiences to sites in Gowanus that are significant to the superfund remediation of the canal and the rezoning of the neighborhood, both currently underway. At stops along the way, Artichoke Dance Company performs dance works that are embedded into the locations, reflect their significance, and envision a resilient future. Area community organizers lead the walking tour, providing specialized information specific to each tour.
WHERE IT IS:
This is a walking tour that visits several sites in Gowanus, near the canal. The starting location of the tour will be shared with ticket holders two days prior to the event.
Tours last 2 hours and travel approximately one mile, stopping at several different sites on and near the Gowanus Canal. Some of these sites have benches or other resting places, but not all do. Please dress comfortably to be outside, bring sunscreen, water, and any assisted mobility or seating devices that may make your experience more comfortable.

The route and locations are wheelchair accessible. If you require other accommodations, such as sign language interpretation, please reach out to us.
