SUMMARY:May Open Studios
DESCRIPTION:With Open Studios\, LMCC invites the public into the workspaces and creative processes of the 2026 Cohort of Arts Center Residents. These open house events are free and welcoming\, informal\, and accessible to all ages. \nIn addition to the ongoing practices of Arts Center Residents in their studios\, LMCC Dance Resident Moriah Evans presents\, […/+*^%<>€£¥$&@!!!!^^^]\, an immersive work in progress performance that confronts the body as an ambivalent place of political and existential conundrums. The work unfolds in a manner that prioritizes non-linear thinking and embodied ways of knowing.  Learn more about the showing here. \nAlso on view at the Arts Center\, New York City’s first Tempestry Collection: a project featuring sixteen hand-knitted panels or “tempestries\,” each depicting a full year of the city’s daily temperature data rendered into various colors. More information on the Tempestry Project at the Arts Center can be found here. \n\nAbout The Arts Center Residency \nThe 2026 Arts Center Residency cohort includes 18 artists\, one On-Site Assistant\, and\, for the first time\, two Scholars-in-Residence from Stony Brook University and an Organization-in-Residence: Seaweed City. \n2026 marks the inaugural year of a new partnership with Stony Brook University and Seaweed City\, expanding the residency as a platform for sustained climate inquiry across artistic and academic disciplines. \nLMCC’s 2026 Arts Center Residents are Garrett Allen\, Rachel Garber Cole\, Nicole Cooper\, RedMoon Arts Movement Inc\, Duy Hoàng\, Derek Lee McPhatter\, Tijay Mohammed\, Sari Nordman\, Sabrina Merayo Nuñez\, Phoebus Osborne\, Marie Lloyd Paspe\, Gabriela Salazar\, Lisa Ann Schonberg\, Sara Stern\, Nora Treatbaby\, Tanika I.

Part of the nationwide Tempestry Project\, a collaborative fiber arts initiative that turns climate data into striking visual and tactile works\, this collection offers a unique\, hands-on perspective on environmental change. \nCreated by a community of volunteer knitters\, the project features sixteen hand-knitted panels or “tempestries\,” each depicting a full year of the city’s daily temperature data rendered into various colors. The collection weaves together climate storytelling and civic history. The sixteen years selected\, one from each decade spanning from 1870 to the present\, highlight pivotal moments in Madison Square Park’s evolution\, from its 19th-century redesign to the first public Christmas tree lighting in 1912 to its recognition as an accredited Level 2 Arboretum in 2018. \nPresented in partnership with the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council at the Arts Center at Govenors Island. \nOn View at the Arts Center May 16 – September 27\, 2026.

SUMMARY:[…/+*^%€£¥$&@!!!!^^^] by Moriah Evans
DESCRIPTION:An in-process showing of […/+*^%<>€£¥$&@!!!!^^^]\, an immersive performance by Moriah Evans that confronts the body as an ambivalent place of political and existential conundrums. Through a sequence of evolving circumstances—internal and external\, individual and collective—the piece asks what it means to give\, take\, receive\, and be taken through a compositional structure. It circulates bodies\, meaning\, and value through repetition and a par corps of changing relationships between the performers and the public. The work unfolds in a manner that prioritizes non-linear thinking and embodied ways of knowing. The showing will feature collaborators Malcolm-x Betts\, Chloë Engel\, João dos Santos Martins\, and Varinia Canto Vila. \n This work-in-progress showing marks the culmination of Evans’ Arts Center Dance Residency. Learn more about the Dance Residency program here. […/+*^%<>€£¥$&@!!!!^^^] will premiere June 5-13\, 2026 at The Chocolate Factory Theater. Learn more about the Chocolate Factory performance here. \nMoriah Evans positions choreography as an expansive social process. Drawing on somatic choreographic practices and feminist critiques of dance and visual culture\, her work expands dance beyond the visible\, to explore different ways of sensing both ourselves and our relationships to one another. Evans develops movement from the unseen interior of the body\, by activating the emotional\, somatic\, and sensory systems to question the default hierarchies between notions of flesh\, body\, self\, and subject. For Evans\, choreography is a social political project that means far more than arranging bodies and movement in space; it is a serious and wide-ranging exploration of ideological beliefs–including feminist\, sociological\, and anthropological considerations. In Evans’ practice\, one work leads to the next\, each project forming a chapter in her ongoing process to inspire transformation–both physically and psychosocially–through action. Evans creates site-specific performances\, theater-based productions\, gallery and museum-based participatory installations\, symposiums\, theoretical texts\, and curatorial projects. \nThis program is supported by Dance/NYC’s Dance Advancement Fund\, made possible by the Howard Gilman Foundation and the Ford Foundation. This project has also been commissioned by and developed\, in part\, during a 2025-2027 Vera List Center Fellowship at The New School. It has been supported by the Vera List Center for Art and Politics. This work has been supported in part by the Loghaven Artist Residency\, the Department of Education’s Arts Hub\, and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. \nLMCC’s Dance Residencies are funded with support from Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels.
