The Celebration Group
In 1968, inspired by her exposure to the environmental theatre of Anna Halprin, she stepped off the proscenium forever and formed Marilyn Wood and the Celebration Group. This group of 8-12 dancers, visual artists, filmmakers, architects, and musicians experimented with site-specific performance in many NYC venues. The genesis of her Celebration vision is a combination of her experience in the avant-garde art world as a dancer, and her personal history of living in a Latin culture where the arts energy expresses itself with extraordinary color, vigor, and participation in the streets and public places through community rituals, processionals, and festivals.
