It was fun watching the passerby moods change during our electric version of Satie’s “Vexations” (heavily abridged) on 23rd St. & Broadway at high noon today. It went from bewilderment to anger to laughter to bliss and beyond. Little children danced. — photo: Leslie Stevens

TILTED AXES performs their latest spectacle OUTFITS & ENSEMBLES as part of Art in Odd Places 2023: DRESS,on Sat., Oct. 14th, 12-3pm, 14th Street between Fifth & Sixth Avenues
OUTFITS & ENSEMBLES: The ensemble of mobile electric guitars and percussion perform original music with choreography. The ensemble uses their traditional black and turquoise concert dress to define the liminal threshold of their imaginary proscenium in public spaces. In this work, the members will be taking this concept many steps further with changes of costume and color-coded accessories. Using the language of clothes combined with new music and movement, the group will create a narrative performance that communicates ideas of inclusion, and even exclusion, using the language of clothes.
Art in Odd Places 2023: DRESS is curated by Gretchen Vitamvas with Curatorial Assistant: Tasha Douge. Curatorial Manager: Sarah Starpoli. — artinoddplaces.org
