Remembering 9/11

A visually impaired dancer (Krishna Washburn) stands during an outdoor Butoh dance performance in Times Square in 2019. A large crowd of people watches behind her, separated by a barrier. She is dressed in a long-sleeved white top and white dhoti with blue trim, with her black hair in a long braid that goes down the front of her right shoulder. Her gaze is somber as she holds her white cane and a red rose against the front of her body with her left hand, with that arm bent at the elbow (Photo by Michael Blase)

A message from Krishna:

Next Monday, please come dance with me in a virtual Open Level Ballet Class to commemorate the 22nd anniversary of September 11th.

Like a lot of native and longtime New Yorkers, I always remember this day as a time of fear and tragedy, but also of solidarity and immense courage.

I’m sharing a photograph from 2019, when I participated in a memorial performance for families affected by 9/11.

Taking place in Manhattan’s Times Square, the group performance was an offering organized by Butoh choreographer Vangeline, in which I appeared as the lead ghost.

This year, I would also like to organize a fundraiser for The September 11th Families’ Association, as part of our 9/11 Open Level Ballet Class commemoration.

If you would like to join Open Level Class on September 11th, please email us

If you would like to donate to the fundraiser through September 11th (via PayPal), please visit: We Remember in the Dark Room

Please join, donate, dance, remember, grieve, learn, and never, ever forget.
