Quinceañeras, dance parties, and underground jazz will animate the plaza, but will that energy extend past Labor Day? JDavidsonNYC writes
A rendering of Josie Robertson Plaza by Clint Ramos. Illustration: Ali Kashfi For the first months of the pandemic, Lincoln Center lay fallow, its halls locked, its outdoor areas fenced off like a radioactive zone. If the grand fountained plaza didn’t look as eerily abandoned as, say, Times Square, that’s because even in ordinary, pre-contagion times, it was only sporadically lively, mostly in the minutes before curtain time.
Crews will set up nine more performance spaces including the Speakeasy, tucked into the little-used taxi lane beneath the main Columbus Avenue staircase. The calendar of activities is a menu of organized joyfulness: film screenings, story times, dance parties, Sweeney Todd for the deaf, blood drives, voter-registration drives, classical concerts, jazz shows, electronic soundscapes, even group wedding parties for couples who missed their own.
Lincoln Center has spent years jury-rigging both its plant and its culture. Erected on an obliterated Upper West Side neighborhood in the late 1950s, it was designed as a dignified enclave, walled off to the west from a public-housing project and elevated from the profane street.
