Meditation in the NYC Subway

Yesterday, a group of meditators sat in the pathways in the Port Authority Subway station in New York City during rush-hour. In contrast to the hurried bustle of the subway users, members of the Interdependence Project’s Theatre Research Ensemble sat in meditative equipoise and engaged in walking meditation. Watch this short interview with Josh Adler, creator of the new series of public meditation performances called “InterActs.”

From the ID Project website:

Public meditation is both a powerful social act and a mode of performance that is accessible to everyone. Starting on March 4th the Interdependence Project’s Theatre Research Ensemble (TREe) will create a new series of public meditation performances called “InterActs.” Building on the success of the Interdependence Project’s “Sit Down/Rise Up” meditation marathon in the display windows of the ABC Home and Carpet, our group will meet twice a month to produce these events. In the first meeting we will organize, create, and compose; during the second meeting we will perform. All are welcome to join, and we hope that this program will open our ensemble to new participants and audiences alike.
