A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
From really simple, open instructions, An Unrhymed Chord creates a kind of half-way point between composition and improvisation.
What would have happened in 1963 if someone from the voguing ball scene going on in Harlem had travelled downtown to perform alongside the early postmoderns at Judson Church?
