The Table of Silence Project 9/11 had its first presentation on the tenth anniversary of 9/11 on the Josie Robertson Plaza at Lincoln Center. Participating were both professional dancers and students from NYC’s premier conservatories and studios: Buglisi Dance Theatre, Ballet Hispanico, Dance Theatre of Harlem, The Juilliard School, The Ailey School, the Martha Graham Company and School, National Dance Institute, Steps on Broadway, and Peridance, among others. This global tribute was seen in 82+ countries via live stream. Following its presentation on the Josie Robertson Plaza at Lincoln Center on 9/11/11, The Table of Silence Project 9/11 was performed in Fall 2011 at the Piazza San Rufino in Assisi, Italy; and at the Pan Am Flight 103 Remembrance Wall at Syracuse University. In 2012, 2013 and 2014, it was performed again at Lincoln Center on the anniversary of 9/11. For their artistic contributions in promoting peace, Ms. Vasta received an Honorary Degree from Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee, and Jacqulyn Buglisi was featured in the Dance/NYC “New Yorker for Dance” video campaign. In 2014, the Table of Silence was proclaimed a ceremony that uses “the power of movement to pay respect and show renewed commitment to building a brighter future” by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and “unites the New York City arts community to spread a message of peace and hope” by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
