Devil's Playground is set to an original score by Quentin Chiappetta. Costumes by Patti Gilstrap, sets by Greg Kessler and Brian Novatny. Harrington is joined by fellow dancers Eve Chalom, Heather Mims, Jessy Smith, Jenna Hunt, Jillian Hollis, and Jaqueline Fritz.

In her piece, Harrington reflects on the nature of games in the stock market and the risk, competition, greed, fear, and exhilaration involved in the climbing up the ladder of our capitalistic society. Using a derivative of sign language used in the futures and commodities markets, she creates a game ruled by chance and guts. Dancers must vie to stay in the center under the statue of George Washington, thus becoming the one who runs the game. The ghosts that have inhabited this structure, and that of George Washington, also become part of this uncommon feat. www.site-lines.org 212 219-9401 Internationaler Wettbewerb fur Choreographen, Staatsoper, Hannover Germany The duet, Ruth and Judith, was a finalist in the International Choreographic competition St. Mark's Church, Danspace Project City/Dans Series - Full evening length concert inspired by Macbeth, Imitations of Drowning Hotel Pupik Festival - Invited to participate in an international artist residency in Austria Toronto Fringe Festival - Full evening length concert, All My Pretty Ones Dixon Place - Under Exposed Series curated by Shannon Hummel P.S. 122 - New Stuff series curated by Kari Hoass Joyce SoHo - Full evening length concert, The Story of The Eye Dance Theater Workshop - Chosen twice for the juried Fresh Tracks series St. Mark's Church, Danspace Project's Draftwork series - Curated by Gina Gibney Rockefeller Center - Ice Theater of New York's afternoon series Wave Hill, Dancing in the Streets - Commission from Dancing in the Streets to choreograph an on site piece at Wave Hill The Yard at Martha's Vineyard - Patricia Nanon Residency 92nd Street Y - Fridays at Noon series Judson Church - Movement Research D.U.M.B.O.
