September 14 (FRIDAY) - Girl Walk//All Day

We team up with 3S Artspace to send off summer with a once-in-a-lifetime outdoor dance party at 319 Vaughan Street in downtown Portsmouth. Beginning at dusk, we'll screen this acclaimed dance music video, followed by a full on dance party with music supplied by Portland's DJs CDR and RDS.

Beer from Redhook and Flatbread Company pizza will be onsite until the event ends at 11pm.

A stunning and unique feature-length dance music video and tale of urban exploration that follows three dancers across NYC. They turn the city's sidewalks, parks and architecture into an evolving stage as they spread their joy of movement. The project emerged from the Jacob Krupnik's (filmmaker) desire to expand the boundaries of the single-track music video into an epic musical film. Girl Walk//All Day is set to All Day, the album by mash-up musician Gregg Gillis (a.k.a Girl Talk).
