Connie Girl, Eric De La Cruz and Shawn Dickerson join host Tovah Feinberg for a live panel recorded at Libera in NYC on March 13, 2025. These esteemed and legendary luminaires- each in their own right, shed light through their lenses of experiences and wisdom to guide, inspire- and perhaps help steady worries during these turbulent times. Because though they can seem unprecedented, dancefloors over the decades have weathered crises of similar scale- such as the AIDs epidemic, the Reagan era and NYC Giuliani nightlife laws.
Just how can we better tap into music at parties? Those essential escape hatches to release and recharge. Because when each of us translates sound into movement, we collectively vent bottled up energy, anxieties, dreams and fears; feeding directly into the delicate ecosystem of nightlife.
