THE CREEK

THE CREEK

A fanciful ride through history and walking tour of the neighborhood of Bushwick, New York - from the early Dutch Settlers to the dismemberment of horses in the burgeoning American Chemical Industry.  The tour lands the audience on a bridge ten feet above the New Town Creek - one of the most polluted waterways in North America, the contents of which by the 21st Century read like a periodic table.  A collaboration between CABULA6, a neighborhood high school teacher and a flight attendant we met on the way to New York, the Creek was part of the Project, Re-Imagining Utopia.
