beg: a question in progress, New York City, Dixon Place, 2001, video documentation

This 17 minute video documents, “beg: a question in progress”, a performance work by Lynn Book for 13 performers and guest artist Diane Torr (Drag King) following the September 11, 2001 disaster in New York City. Dixon Place director, Ellie Covan, wanted to quickly stage artist responses to the events of 9/11 and invited Book to be part of the series staged at C.U.A.N.D.O. overlooking Houston Street, facing downtown Manhattan. The 18-minute work was performed primarily for voice, movement, and hand-held lighting instruments and drew from text written by Book, some of which she wrote on September 10.
