Upcoming Public Programs

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum’s public programs explore a range of topics reflecting on the ongoing impacts and continued resonance of the attacks, their historical context, and their aftermath.

Battery Dance: The Frozen Zone Performance
Wednesday, June 4
6-7 p.m. ET

Battery Dance, a lower Manhattan–based dance company, held a public dance festival at the World Trade Center Plaza every year between 1982 and 2001. Just two weeks after the 9/11 attacks, the company presented a spontaneous performance entitled Pavilion at the Franklin Street subway station on the cusp of the “frozen zone." In conversation with Museum Director Clifford Chanin, Founder and Artistic Director of Battery Dance Jonathan Hollander, Dancer Tadej Brdnik, Composer and Tabla Player Samir Chatterjee, and Composer and World Percussionist Yousif Sheronick, reflect on the importance of the performance and what it means almost 25 years later. The discussion will be followed by a re-staged performance of Pavilion by Kar'mel Small.
