Fabric on the Beach

Come close out the summer with the premiere of the live outdoor performance, Fabric on the Beach. Transforming the coastline on Rockaway Beach 112th St. into an immersive stage, dancers will melt, dive, and collide under a 500-foot net. This one-day performance flows between mythology and ecology to create an ethereal environment that invites beachgoers to uncover a new side of their favorite summer getaway. Using texture and expansive textile, the unseen elements of our landscape are highlighted to renew your sense of discovery and imagination.
Created by dancer and performance artist Mattie McGarey, Fabric on the Beach invites us to tap into our community in the face of shifting attitudes towards productivity, leisure time, social connection, and the space we occupy.
