Sock It!

Several organizations are trying to promote the arts in Peekskill.  Among them is a group called Embark/Peekskill.  When they invited me to present a street performance, I jumped at the chance.  During a new event called Summer Block Party, I presented a performance that involved stuffed socks and my own interpretation of a board game called Last Word.   Winners of the game were allowed to take home their favorite pair of stuffed socks!  I had a steady stream of participants, and our conversations revolved around many topics, including my philosophy of one-on-one, face-to-face interactive performance art as an anti-dote to email, texting, social networking, etc!
