About

Garjana, a new dance workout led by Broadway performers and created by the nonprofit Food Tank, is putting together an event in Washington Square Park’s Garibaldi Plaza. We are in need of volunteers on September 14 from 11:00AM to 2:00PM. Garjana features an all-Broadway performer cast with choreography from Mamma Mia! and Bombay Dreams’ Monica Kapoor, along with all-original music from Douglas Romanow, whose credits include Justin Bieber and Tyga, and visuals from award-winning film and television director Kevin Arbouet. The Brooklyn Nets official DJ Jason Jung is the event MC. Here is a 60-second video depicting the Garjana experience from a recently sold-out show at the Highline Ballroom. Garjana has received rave reviews from Billboard, Time Out Magazine, Edible Magazine, and many more. The free Washington Square Park event is part of Food Tank’s effort to raise awareness about food waste and support GrowNYC and NYC farmers’ markets. Prior to the workout, the event will feature a range of sustainable food system leaders including Slow Food USA’s Executive Director Richard McCarthy, Green Bronx Machine’s Founder Stephen Ritz, Edible Manhattan’s Publisher Brian Halweil, GrowNYC’s Liz Carollo, Harlem Grown’s Tony Hillery and Food Tank’s Danielle Nierenberg.
