After working through the choreography at the studio, we boarded the Staten Island Ferry with 7 performers about 4:30 PM. This piece was about traveling, and our idea was to have a slow moving dance in which took the entire twenty minute trip for the dancers to get from one end of the boat to the other. This included some fast moving phrases that broke out from the slow material.

We were about three minutes in when a very stern looking fellow with captains bars on his shirt came to me (they always go to the guy with the video camera) and told me in no uncertain terms that the police would be waiting at the other end if we didn't stop now.

Following non-confrontational policy I told him that we would stop, though I now regret that I didn't put up more of a fight. Nevertheless, several passengers told us that they enjoyed what little they did get to see.

We performed the entire raid outside the Ferry Terminal after returning to Manhattan.
