This seems like an amazing way to spend a few hours! Info from the Headlands Center for the Arts:

Saturday, August 26, 6:30–8:30PM

Board the Maritime Museum’s historic ship The Balclutha to witness the filming of Torreya Cummings’ art work: Barbary Coast Keelhaul.

Part live performance, part video production, this work is meant to honor the historical existence of persons subject to this law. Performers, dressed in a variety of interpretations of maritime drag, will stage the “keelhauling” of a waterproof camera on a rope. Audience members are invited on board to witness this work in progress and may have the opportunity to participate as extras in the film. This project, while based in history, is a work of barely-narrative fiction.

Thematic attire (nautical, of any era) is welcomed, but not required. A small reception with snacks and drinks will follow the filming.
