The annual summer benefit for the Watermill Center is definitely one of the highlights of the summer social calendar. And this year was no exception, helped in no small part by Saturday's gorgeous weather. This year's theme was "Circus of Stillness…the power over wild beasts." As always, there were celebrities (Nicole Miller, Brooke Shields, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova of Pussy Riot, John Varvatos, Rufus Wainwright, Roger Waters), a live auction, and of course, six acres of live performance art installations designed to intrigue, provoke, delight, and just plain baffle.
