Location
Valley Cottage, NY
Project Title
Ghost Factory
Fiscal Year Awarded
2021
Grant Amount
$10,000

Inspired by the residents and vast deserted factories of Johnson City, an upstate NY town, Ghost Factory explores remnants of a past industrial era. Live performance merges with video imagery of abandoned buildings while stories told by elders who worked in these factories are woven into the piece, evoking the humanity these spaces once held. In conjunction with the stage performance, residents in Johnson City and other tour locations are invited to participate in workshops and interviews, sharing stories that might be “hidden” in local buildings, and contributing to an interactive audio/video installation in each venue lobby.
