RECESS NEW YORK

Was it not our epoch that invented the word escape? However, the only way to escape from oneself is precisely to let ourselves be conquered.

JEAN COCTEAU

1889-1963

RECESS,

BY DEFINITION, IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE TEMPORARILY DISMISSED

FROM CUSTOMARY ACTIVITIES.

In this spirit of offering a lifestyle alternative to the otherwise rudimentary activities that dominate and sometimes dull our urbanite senses, RECESS is an ongoing series of sports and games that redefines our shared philosophy of play by fusing healthy sportsmanship, unbridled creativity and the people responsible for that creativity. At RECESS, contemporary creative culture and passionate people converge to inspire and

be inspired, in the name of positive sportmanship. Participation is voluntary. Passion and commitment, however, are mandatory. In its success, RECESS will reflect the undercurrents of a burgeoning community, a newly discovered cultural movement which like its predecessors, brings New York City's eclectic personalities with its music, fashion and art under a unifying vision: to redefine sports culture.
