 Battery Park City's esplanade comes alive in this homage to Art on 
 the Beach, the landmark series conceived and presented by Creative 
 Time from 1978 to 1988 when Battery Park City was just landfill. 
 Starting at Rockefeller Park, visitors will take a 

 90-minute journey from one site-specific performance to the next. 

 Yoshiko Chuma has created a new work for the event, with School of 
 Hard Knocks performers including 7 dancers and 7 trombonists and 
 7-foot cubes. School of Hard Knocks performance location is directly 
 outside of the World Financial Center, about 100 feet south, along the 
 river. 

 "I remember when I danced at Art on the Beach in the end of the 
 1970s. There were empty landfills; it was like landing on Mars. " 
 (Chuma)
