We covered this beautiful performance in its entirety last year here. For this year’s event, Staten Islander News put together a short video clip and photo slideshow of the event, provided by Lincoln Center, which can be viewed below:
Lincoln Center in partnership with Buglisi Dance Theatre honored the 24th year since the events of 9/11, with a livestreamed performance of the Table of Silence Project 9/11, an annual free public performance ritual and call to action for Peace conceived and choreographed in 2011 by Jacqulyn Buglisi, Artistic Director of Buglisi Dance Theatre.
The live performance took place in New York City on the Josie Robertson Plaza at Lincoln Center on Thursday, September 11, 2025, 8:10AM. Envisioned as a multicultural performance ritual for peace, the “Table of Silence Project 9/11”, awakens compassion and unity, bridging all cultural and geographical boundaries through a shared experience of resilience.
As the work continues to evolve, it remains a potent healing ritual, confronting the urgent challenges of our time and standing as a voice for those affected by the tragedy of war and oppression of freedom.
Artistic collaborators include Buglisi Dance Theatre, Bell Master/Principal Dancer Terese Capucilli, Visual Artist Rossella Vasta, Composer/Violin Daniel Bernard Roumain, Conch/Flute John Ragusa, Conch/Trumpet Pamela Fleming, Percussionists Jeremy Smith and Stahv Danker, Film/Livestream Producer Nel Shelby and Nel Shelby Productions, and over 150 dance “peace warriors”.
The Table of Silence Project 9/11 is A PROJECT OF ARNHOLD DANCE INNOVATION FUND and is achieved through community partnerships with The Juilliard School, Alvin Ailey American Dance Center, Martha Graham Dance Center, Paul Taylor Dance, Hunter College, Dance/NYC, Steps on Broadway, among others.

In 2019, new leadership at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts set a strategic direction for our work with a renewed focus on equity and service to all of New York City. In the spring of 2020, we committed to hold ourselves accountable in ways we believe will help us be part of positive change in our community. These commitments remain at the forefront of our work every day. As tectonic societal shifts around social justice continue, our progress in this area is the most important measurement of our contributions to the well-being of all New Yorkers.
