About this Event
Daytime Moon in Motion
Artist and performer Meagan Woods brings to life Kerri Schlottman’s new novel Daytime Moon through a series of reflective movements based on passages from the book. Interspersed and overlapping readings blend into a gorgeous improvisational dance.

A signed copy of the novel is included in the ticket price. 100% of proceeds go to supporting the Billion Oyster Project, which is restoring oyster reefs to New York Harbor in collaboration with local communities.

Please note: The audience will be seated on the floor on cushions and folded blankets with a wall to lean back on. Please send a note if you require other accommodations to [email protected] at least 24 hours prior to the event.
About Daytime Moon
Isa has spent years running from her past until her brother’s sudden arrival in New York City calls her back to the California desert she fled. Amid drag races by the Salton Sea and echoes of her lost twin, Isa confronts family secrets and a dying father figure’s final revelations. Traveling up and down California highways, through desert and forest, roaring coastline and border towns, Isa will follow the signs so delicately woven into the fabric of her life—a name, a constellation, a painting, a gleam of recognition on the water’s surface. If she can piece them together, she just might reunite the shattered remains of her beloved family. Artfully narrated, Daytime Moon is an unforgettable journey through hidden stories, the shimmering fluidity of memory, the depths of women's secrets, and the magic of transmutation.
