About the project

“For this piece I wanted to work with Will, someone I’ve collaborated with for over 15 years and with whom I have an innate creative understanding. We were inspired by the city we both live in and love and the idea of a trunk that travels and sees the world — one that is in constant flux and movement.
Tyshawn Jones is one of the most celebrated skateboarders of his generation and the first New Yorker to win Thrasher’s Skateboarder of the Year. Megan Lecrone is a principal dancer at the New York City Ballet. They both come from seemingly different worlds but when brought together their juxtaposition creates something beautiful: a bit surreal and also perfectly logical."
