Please join this movement for peace. Your voice is an affirmation and opportunity to bridge boundaries and to reclaim a tragic moment in our city's history while building community with others through an embodied experience. This ritual has become an annual part of how NYC commemorates this day and we thank the dancers that have participated in the Table of Silence Project 9/11 from its inception.
