"From Brooklyn to Manhattan and the Bronx, six of New York City's most magnificent staircases come alive in director/choreographer Stephan Koplowitz's largest site-specific work to date. 50 dancers fill the stairs with movement that evokes the historic and contemporary uses of each staircase. Dancers perform to an original score by composer Quentin Chiappetta. At each performance, the 15-minute dance segment is preceded by a 15-minute segment, in which an acclaimed choir sings from its repertoire."
