GROWING TAKES TIME To Perform In Brooklyn
Choreographer Karley Wasaff brings the Pikmin-inspired work to Kingsland Wildflowers Rooftop.
Movement artist Karley Wasaff presents Growing Takes Time, a life-sized interactive arcade and immersive world where the audience becomes part of the story. This performance won a New York State Council of the Arts grant and comes to New York venue: Kingsland Wildflowers Rooftop (520 Kingsland Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222), which offers views of the New York skyline. This performance plays for one night only on June 20 at sunset.
Audiences move through childhood anxiety-driven game structures - including slap hands, floor is lava, rock paper scissors, and hot potato - which function as levels that build respect, trust, and community coordination. Blending contemporary dance with jiu-jitsu-inspired partnering, the work uses conflict, resistance, and cooperation as engines for growth. Through navigating friction and repair, the audience collectively shapes the evolving world.
Featuring PIKMII Performers: Juwai Pitkin, Macee Eppard, Ashton Atteberry, Anna Patterson, Peter Elizalde, Dahlia Levine, Joy Raylon Hill, Cam Arnold, Kerry Sheehan
Featuring Command Center: Nirah Burwell
Alongside the arcade, audiences can explore a digital art gallery installation in collaboration with Josh Sauceda, showcasing visuals that extend the Growing Takes Time universe.
Growing Takes Time performs on June 20, 2026 (rain date: June 21, 2026) at Kingsland Wildflowers Rooftop - Brooklyn, NY. Doors Open: 6:00 PM. Immersive Performance: 7:00-8:00 PM. Rooftop Dance Party: 8:00-10:00 PM. Tickets are available through the Posh website.
