NOTS AFTERWORD
Writing to you a month out from this year's sold out and electrifying (in a totally Stevie way of course) NIGHT OF 1000 STEVIES 28: STARBRIGHT. The production of each year's marathon edition takes place over six months, and we have just finished turning the page on 2018.
The JACKIE FACTORY producers and artisans had a ball with this year's Medieval Fantasy theme, with its touches of Welsh Rhiannon lore, Lord of the Rings Elven glamour and Arthurian Legend. The performers and our superb crew brought their best. More than anything, we were delighted with the great love in the room - there is nothing like the NOTS audience, and we are eternally grateful to you.

JUNE EVENTS
SUNDAY JUNE 10
NICK CAVE "THE LET GO"
w/ DJ JOHNNY DYNELL 2-6 PM
Animating PARK AVENUE ARMORY with the sights, sounds, and movement of renowned interdisciplinary artist NICK CAVE, THE LET GO will transform the Armory's Wade Thompson Drill Hall into a dance-based town hall that brings together visitors to participate in a collective act of catharsis. The Armory's 2018 visual arts commission builds on Cave's hybrid, multisensory practice with an ambitious project— encompassing performance, installation, dance-based encounters, and soundtracks by some of New York's leading DJs—that provides a backdrop for audiences to dispel negativity and uplift one another. On view June 7 through July 1, 2018, The Let Go will feature a series of soundsuits, wearable sculptures that create a second skin to conceal race, gender, and class, that will come to life in a new "Up Right" performance conceived for the Armory's historic interiors.
Hours 11 AM - 6 PM
Live DJs from 2-6 PM
Tickets: $17 (plus fees), Free for Armory members

During weekends, visitors and community organizations such as yoga practitioners, hula-hoopers, church choirs, and school groups from across all boroughs are invited to express themselves through movement within the installation to music curated by some of New York’s leading DJs. Participants will be engaged by dancers leading games of Twister, Soul Train lines, a special line dance called “The Let Go” created for the installation, soundsuit invasions, and other dance-based encounters. Also on display in the Armory’s historic rooms are a collection of Cave’s soundsuits, wearable sculptures that create a second skin to conceal race, gender, and class to force the viewer to observe without judgment.
