player): chashama welcomes Dan McKereghan back for his third annual visit to their unique performing space in the window of 135 W 42 Street. An Honest Effort is the latest project by this NEA award winning artist. This year, Dan will be performing nine hours every day for five consecutive days in a new piece inspired by the myth of Sisyphus. Risk-taking, committed, intelligent, comical, clever, colorful, generous, eye-catching and at times bare naked... Dan is on a mission- as in "all the worlds a stage" for his personal expression of ideas, art, literature, humanity. Dan began his relationship with chashama in 2001, when he presented transparence, a week-long piece exploring the relationship of the visible with the invisible. The following February brought 30eights, a series of thirty consecutive eight-hour performances about the number 8. Last October, Dan was the festival director for Currency 2002, which brought performance artists from around the world to the theater at 135 W 42 St.Dan McKereghan is a performance artist from Brooklyn, active in the downtown performance scene for 20 years. In 1991 he founded Hit & Run Theater, a site specific company which presented nearly 100 unique performances at locations throughout New York City. In 1996 Dan began his solo career which has lead him to perform in festivals and galleries in Seattle, LA, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Finland, Canada and Wales. In November he will participate in the Coalition festival in Valparaiso, Chile. For more information on this
