Habit and Half Straddle FTW

All of us at PS122 are proud to announce that 2012/13 season artists David Levine, Marsha Ginsberg and Half Straddle took home Village Voice Obie Awards last night. Slideshow of cell phone photos taken during the 58th annual ceremony at Webster Hall are below.

Creator David Levine and Environment Designer Marsha Ginsberg took home a special citation Obie for the critically-acclaimed show, Habit, which premiered last September as part of PS122’s Fall 2012 season, co-presented by The French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF)’s Crossing the Line festival.

Half Straddle (PS122 COIL 13 artist) took home the Obie Grant Award acknowledging rising, young companies for their artistic excellence accompanied by a $1,000 grant. Half Straddle’s Chekhov inspired Seagull (Thinking of you) was commissioned by PS122 as part of the 8th Annual COIL Festival, co-presented with the New Ohio Theatre.
