Starting TONIGHT: Brooklyn at Eye Level
Brit in Brooklyn, Atlantics Yards on Stage
Drawing inspiration from interviews conducted around the Atlantic Yards footprint, Brooklyn at Eye Level is a take on the Atlantic Yards story through theater, dance and music. The Civilians Theater Company will be performing the show at the Brooklyn Lyceum this week. I got to sit in on an early rehearsal to shoot it, and found it fascinating. Looking forward to seeing the finished work.

"But the BROOKLYN Dodgers spoke to Brooklyn as a city unto itself. And if they had been named differently or played in another part of the city, it wouldn’t have meant anything at all.” - Met’s Fan and Fourth Generation Brooklynite
“the Unity Plan would have been much better…it had affordable housing, like 80 percent affordable. It had lower, lower . . . buildings. No skyscrapers." - Public Servant
NoLandGrab: A few of the UNITY plan facts stated above are wrong. There ARE highrises in the UNITY plan, just not 500 ft. tall, and the plan calls for “60% affordable housing,” not an eye-popping 80%.
