Commissioned by World Financial Center Arts & Events choreographer
and visual artist Andrea Haenggi and her New York-based Dance Arts Company AMDaT, create a site-specific dance video installation
escalator throughout the giant World Financial Center complex. The work takes its inspiration from the extraordinary architectural
settings of the World Financial Center atriums. With compact, emotionally charged movements, Haenggi and AMDaT's dancers Einy Aam,
Tori Sparks and guest performers Eric Bradley, Jeff Crumrine, Blanca Cubillos-Roman and Uta Takemura will lead the audience on a
journey from one lobby to the next.

Each area is staged as its own theater--moving from the quotidian to a futuristic and surreal filmic
world--culminating in the barrel-vaulted glass atrium, the Winter Garden, where the performers are
bathed in light from dizzying video projections inspired from Haenggi's recent trip to Moscow.
Haenggi's artistic team includes lighting designer Owen Hughes, costume designer Karen Young and
sound designer David Linton - who will be joined by live improvising musicians Alexandra Mareculewicz,
Charles Cohen, David Watson and William Hooker.
escalator is commissioned and produced by World Financial Center Arts & Events which is sponsored
by American Express, Merrill Lynch, Brookfield Properties and Battery Park City Authority with additional
support from The New York Mercantile Exchange and Embassy Suites Hotel New York City.
