SUMMARY:November 2023 Grantee Events
DESCRIPTION:Experience a wide range of art activities by supporting our Creative Engagement\, Creative Learning and UMEZ Arts Engagement grantees and their events this month. \n– \nExperimental Theatre Chicago NFP \nCome Here To Me\nWednesday\, November 1\, 2023 at 6:30 PM\nThursday\, November 2\, 2023 to Saturday\, November 4\, 2023 at 7:30 PM\nSunday\, November 5\, 2023 at 3:00 PM\n116 West 129th Street\, 2F\, New York\, NY 10027 \nAoife\, a young Irish woman\, and Grace\, her American roommate\, travel together from Dublin to London together\, pursued by a ghost. Set in October 2018\, this play offers a glimpse into the time after Ireland’s historic vote to repeal the eighth amendment of the Irish Constitution\, making abortion legal in the Republic of Ireland\, but before the law had come into effect. The play jumps back to the early 1990s\, when we meet another young woman\, Linda\, traveling for an abortion\, with the help of a welcoming guest in Liverpool\, Ruth. Come Here to Me looks at cycles of grief\, friendship\, and autonomy\, and the women’s lives that hang in the balance. \nFind more information at: https://www.themilltheatre.org/comeheretome \nGrant Program: Creative Engagement \n– \nJenny Boissiere \nRed Brass Dream Project\nFriday\, November 3\, 2023 at 7:30 PM\nSaturday\, November 4\, 2023 at 7:30 PM\nThe Riverside Theater\, 91 Claremont Ave\, New York\, NY 10027 \nJoin DanceBoissiere for a night of big dance moves and delicious jazz tunes. Red Brass Dream is a 45-minute exploration of collective liberation. Collective liberation means we need each other: To build the world we want\, express ourselves\, live embodied (and in control of our bodies)\, and stay free. We all deserve rest\, play\, and dignity free from exploitation. We are intimately and intricately connected to each other’s struggles and we have to build together. \nFind more information at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/red-brass-dream-tickets-728526581617?aff=oddtdtcreator \nGrant Program: Creative Engagement and UMEZ Arts Engagement \n– \nFinleigh Zack Dance\, Inc \nA Meaningful Moment Through A Meaningful Process\nSaturday\, November 4\, 2023 at 12:00 PM\nArts On Site\, 12 St Marks Place New York\, NY 10003 \nOur bodies hold emotion\, but how do we release them? A Meaningful Moment Through A Meaningful Process explores how the emotional wellbeing of humans react to the simplest form of movement. Dance is not only a form of entertainment but a way for people to discover feelings nonverbally. Watch as reaction\, exploration\, and healing all exist on the same plane together. \nFind more information at: https://www.artsonsite.org/events-1/finleigh-zack-dance-a-meaningful-moment-through-a-meaningful-process \nGrant Program: Creative Engagement \n– \nSky Syzygy \nGender Resistance\nSaturday\, November 4\, 2023 at 11:00 AM\nThe Bureau\, 208 West 13th Street\, New York\, NY \nIn this workshop we will discuss and share stories\, materials\, and memories with one another to expand the hirstory of trans\, Two-Spirit\, non-binary\, and gender diverse communities and individuals in North America during the 20th century. This project is based on the belief that our hirstory is key to healing our communities from the scars of transphobia. We heal when we connect with ancestors and learn more about ourselves through them. We heal when we receive testament to our continued existence in this world. We heal when given the opportunity to repair the scars of past conflicts. Finally\, we heal when we are able to grow from the wisdom of passing time. Gathering around oral histories and physical materials offers us the opportunity to engage with all these modes of healing. \nFind more information at: https://gender.network/events \nGrant program: Creative Engagement \n– \nCenter for Remembering and Sharing  \nCrossing Boundaries\nSunday\, November 5\, 2023 at 6:30 PM\nThe Jazz Gallery (5th floor)\, 1160 Broadway\, New York\, NY 10001 \nCrossing Boundaries is a concert series devoted to dissolving boundaries between performers and audiences\, the traditional and contemporary\, classical and experimental\, and the culturally specific and the global.

Using the short entries as inspiration\, Fornés shaped the diary into a piece of dance-theater that explores the physical cost of women’s domestic labor and the surprising possibilities for mental and spiritual escape. This first-ever revival of Evelyn Brown (A Diary)\, unearths a lost work by the celebrated playwright María Irene Fornés (1930–2018). Directed by Alice Reagan\, the production will feature scenic designs by Donald Eastman who designed the original 1980 production. \nFind more information at https://www.lamama.org/shows/evelyn-brown-a-diary-2023 \nGrant Program: Creative Engagement \n—  \nThe India Center\nIndia Unleashed – NYCXDESIGN FESTIVAL RECEPTION\nSaturday\, May 20\, 2023 at 5:00 PM; May 21-23\, 2023 at 6:00 PM\nSolas Studio\, 117 East 24th Street\, 2nd Floor\, New York\, NY 10010 \nCelebrate the 11th NYCXDESIGN FESTIVAL with The India Center and check out the artwork created by our amazing artists. \nFind more information at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/india-unleashed-nycxdesign-festival-opening-tickets-541987849247 \nGrant Program: Creative Engagement \n—  \nNew Amsterdam Opera\, Inc\nLUCREZIA BORGIA\nSaturday\, May 20\, 2023 at 7:00 PM\nThe Center at West Park\, 165 West 86th Street\, New York\, NY 10024\nVenue entrance is on Amsterdam Avenue\, accessible entrance on W. 86th Street. \n“New Amsterdam Opera will present Donizetti’s LUCREZIA BORGIA on Saturday\, May 20\, 2023\, 7:00 PM\, at The Center at West Park.
