Un Ovni en Manhattan
El espacio para situar la plaza está en el cruce de las calles West Street con Murray Street.
Tanto la plaza como el recorrido tienen un uso ocasional, así que habría que dotarlos para que cualquier otro tipo de espectáculo se pueda celebrar.
Como es probable que el evento taurino tuviera detractores, dispondremos una zona para manifestaciones, de forma que eso fuera parte también del show.

Seasonal Exams
Friday the 11th and the following two weeks, we will be doing short exercises in the classroom, strictly within the workshop hours. The aim is to continue with our work, as we should, while not interfering with the seasonal exams.
