Age: All
Price: Free
Location:
High Line

Gaits is an immersive, site-specific parade featuring commissioned compositions by Lainie Fefferman, Jascha Narveson and Cameron Britt in which the wonders of everyday technology transform participants’ movements into musical improvisations.

Paraders use a free app that captures the GPS coordinates and velocities of their movements to trigger a variety of twinkling metallic sounds, electric guitar chords, dulcimer notes, water splashes, car horns and applause – empowering marchers to effortlessly make music while interacting with their environment and each other.

 To join, register in advance onlin and download the free Gaits application to your phone from the Apple Store.

Participants should arrive between 5:30-6:15pm at the southern end of The High Line, at the base of the Gansevoort Stairs, Gansevoort and Washington Streets, and will be spaced out in groups of 5-10 every 3 minutes. Elevator access is available to the left of the main entryway stairs. The procession will walk north along the elevated park.
