Dance under a disco ball at Lincoln Center
The biggest outdoor dance floor in the city, "The Oasis," will be one of the stages and include a gigantic 10-foot disco ball. Clint Ramos, a costume and set designer, will design a blue mural/installation with a sea of mirrors that will reflect dancers and performers as they move to live music, silent discos, modified dance lessons, dance parties, salsa, swing, soul, and other genres, all while being illuminated by Andrew Grant's lighting designs. If you'd want to take a mid-day dancing break, the dance floor will be available to the public for free throughout the day.
Additionally, a short film festival from Film at Lincoln Center will be shown in the "Outdoor Cinema" in front of the David Geffen Hall, which is now undergoing renovations. Popcorn and beverages will be provided, and movie audio will be broadcast using Quiet Event headphones.
