On February 19,1960 a group of Howard High School students began a series of sit-in demonstration at the segregated lunch counters in downtown Chattanooga. Over the course of the protests the students were arrested, confronted by violent counter protestors, sprayed with fire hydrants, and denounced by many local leaders as hoodlums and trouble makers. However, despite these hurdles, by August of 1960 the students had succeeded in opening the stools of our city’s lunch counters to people of all races. (For more information on the protests check out this documentary: https://archive.org/details/WTCIHowardConverted) This video is our way of honoring the actions and courage of the sit-in participants and the ideals of equality, diversity, and inclusivity for our city. The artists involved in this collaboration are: Arche Twitty, Commix Dance Crew, Tim Cofield, and Pop-up directors Mattie Waters and Jules Downum. We also could not have done it without our production assistants: Adam Newport, Levi Carter, Jennifer Blemons, Apryl Hughes, Jeremy Wilkins; the roughly 20 amazing extras who showed up EARLY on a Sunday morning; and all the generous people who supported this project during our funding campaign. Thank you

Chattanooga was a rail town from before the start- The city was founded in 1837- a year after Ross’ Landing was named as the Western Atlantic Rail’s northern terminal. By 1857 Chattanooga had become a rail hub in the South and it’s first passenger station was built in 1858. The song, “The Chattanooga Choo Choo” was written in 1941 and originally recorded by Glenn Miller and his Orchestra. It was the first record to go gold for RCA. The rail system was especially important during WWII when as much as 90% of America’s traffic and much of it’s freight went by train. We hope you enjoy this site specific performance honoring our city’s rail history. Filmed at the Tennessee Valley Rail Museum. Music by Lon Eldridge (present in the video) and Jeff Joyner. Cinematography by David Elijah Piersaul . Editing by Tim Cofield. Choreography by Mattie Waters and Jules Downum. Dancers- Lacy Maselle , Jules Downum, and Mattie Waters.

Here is the first pop-up in a series we've been planning for months! Throughout 2017 we'll be popping up in beautiful and historically significant places all around Chattanooga and creating site-specific, multimedia performances. This one is an introduction to the series and an invitation to follow us on this journey as we explore and collaborate with our city. Point Park was chosen because it offers a stunning view of Chattanooga and is a nod to the Lookout Mountain families whose donations financed the city's revitalization. Direct by Jules Downum Film and Editing; Tim Cofield Choreography and Lead Dancers: Jules Downum, Mattie Waters and Lacy Jo. Chorus Dancers: Elizabeth Solomon, Madeline Phillips, Michele Pesce, Hope Wineman, NatalieVermillion & Tracy Henderson
