2005

The premiere of
The River of Light, a vigil of water, fire, light and sound to celebrate
the life and peoples' of the Hudson River with a floating stage, pyrokinetic
sculpture, live music and lighted kayaks.
Planet
Sturgeon 2006
A drum circle of planetary energies surrounding a giant floating Armillary
sphere, burned away to revealing a metal sturgeon, a living icon of
the Hudson River.
Descent
to the Flaming Heart 2007
This year's ROL begins with a procession, moving through a series of
performative "stations" to the Hudson River with the audience
journeying through a flaming heart banner and ending with a fire performance
atop an eight pole set in the river. The point of this journey is to
enlarge the heart, not constrict it, in the face of whatever pain or
joy we experience.
