Serendipity P is a public space intervention that celebrates the multiplicity of public, spontaneous performances. It is located on Lafayette Street, just to the south of Astor Place and Alamo Plaza and in between the Public Theater and the Astor Place Theater, which are highly planned and choreographed performance venues. Inspired by the history of African Grove Theater and how the theater manifests through anchoring in the community of artists who did not have easy access to theater space, Serendipity P anchors itself on Lafayette Street to provide a public space that is accessible to street performers of dance, music, and theater for simultaneous spontaneous productions.
