DESCRIPTION:
A festival in Washington DC features local bands playing live music as skaters plunge in and out of a specially-designed bowl. The Kennedy Center in Washington has given over its famous plaza to a collection of skateboarders and musicians. Called Finding a Line, the festival is the brainchild of Jason Moran, the Center's Artistic Director for Jazz.
It features bands playing live music as skaters plunge in and out of a specially-designed bowl.
