Recess: Rock Band in New York

About Recess

Recess is a group working in free performance, using loosened structures and open-ended play as material. In New York City, their work appears in museum contexts, including The Bronx Museum of the Arts, where they are presented in programs such as First Friday February 2026: Game Night with Recess. The name points to a temporary pause from routine, and the performances often treat that pause as a shared social space rather than a staged narrative. Their approach favors process over polish, with attention to how audiences gather, move, and listen.
