San Francisco’s Flyaway Productions and the Sing Sing Prison Museum present Jo Kreiter’s “The Wait Room,” a performance installation that exposes the physical, psychic, and emotional burden of incarceration for women with imprisoned loved ones. Via a large, rolling set that evokes a prison visiting room, the project invokes the balancing act women have to maintain when stripped of emotional and economic support from their partners and family. Dancers from the S.F. company will come to NY for four free performances at an outdoor site next to the Sing Sing Correctional Facility. Creator Jo Kreiter is a 2019 Guggenheim Fellow, and is the first choreographer named as a Robert Rauschenberg Foundation 2017 Artist as Activist Fellow.
