Postcard for DTW concert.
"I took this from a Mexican bark book of good and bad spirits--this spirit is good because it doesn't wear shoes as the conquistadors did." - Jane Comfort
'Urban Renewal' set from 1984 Creative Time Art on the Beach.
"We got some engineers to survey the site during the performance then kick the audience out because they needed the space."

The phone number is still the DTW box office number, but ticket prices have changed...

"I don't remember too much about this concert, except that John Bernd and I had begun working together after improvising at Open Movement at PS. We did a piece that involved banging knives and forks together, which scratched and dented the ones we rehearsed with--my own. I still use them today, and I think of John every time I serve dinner." - Jane
