Welcome to the Global Underscore 2016. This year's Global Underscore will take place on Sunday, June 19 from 4-8 pm UTC +2.
UTC stands for Coordinated Universal Time
EDT is Eastern Daylight Time or UTC-4
The Underscore is a long-form dance improvisation structure developed by Nancy Stark Smith and practiced worldwide. The form includes contact improvisation and allows for a full spectrum of physical forms and changing states, often including periods of quiet internal activity and other times of higher energy and interactive dancing. The Underscore's undirected practice affords simultaneously a framework for research, a forum for play, and an opportunity to experience collective improvised composition.
Global Underscore was originally conceived in 2000 and organized for a decade by French dancer Claire Filmon
in collaboration with Nancy Stark Smith. Coinciding with the summer solstice, this annual event invites dancers at sites all around the world to practice the Underscore simultaneously and share their experiences with a global community of practitioners. Now in its 16th year, Underscore NYC proudly hosts Global Underscore 2016.
We enthusiastically invite you to join us physically and energetically, in time and in space. With Nancy's direction and your participation, we will surely create an amazing event together!

ReplyDeleteI reported your time zone confusion to "Underscorenyc" back in February. This page still has "(10 am-2 pm EST)" at the top and in the article, even though we don't use EST in June, we use EDT. You also explain about EDT in words, but you don't actually use it in print. This is so confusing! Please get the time zone to say EDT everywhere.
ReplyDeleteFor those who find the timezone issue confusing, as Ian pointed out 4-8pm in Berlin is currently 10am-2pm in NY in EDT. This still should be true in June. And yes can someone confirm this?
