Geographical displacement refers to the forced relocation of individuals and communities from their original habitats\, often due to various socioeconomic factors. On the other hand\, environmental gentrification is the process whereby the improvement of urban environments and amenities inadvertently leads to the displacement of low-income residents as property values and costs of living rise. This photography project explores the intricate relationship between geographical displacement and environmental gentrification\, highlighting their causes\, effects\, and potential solutions. The primary goal of “Reality of Placement” is to bridge the gap between social consciousness and artistic expression. \nGrant Program: Creative Engagement  \nKehila Kedosha Janina Synagogue and Museum\nGreek Jewish Festival\nSunday\, May 19\, 2024 at 12:00 PM\n280 Broome Street\, New York\, NY 10002 \nJoin the Greek Jewish Festival on Sunday May 19 to celebrate the unique Romaniote and Sephardic heritage of the Jews of Greece!

SUMMARY:THE POWER OF THE BOUNCE - Miguel Gutierrez
DESCRIPTION:June 7\, 5pm\nRain Date: June 8\, 1pm\n28 Liberty Street\nFREE\, Drop-In\nParticipants are encouraged to wear fun and celebratory clothing. Get ready to dance! \nAccessibility: This performance will be accessible via a wide staircase and ramp from Pine Street to the south of the Plaza. \nMiguel Gutierrez presents an interactive\, high-energy dance performance complete with group choreography\, aerobics\, and costumes. Come in costume and learn the famous “Aerobicon” dance that Miguel created to Le Tigre’s “Deceptacon” in 2000. Way before TikTok\, this dance was a viral hit in the early days of YouTube that was then recreated by people all over the world in duos\, small groups\, and giant crowds. Miguel will revive this dance and create a powerful public spectacle reminiscent of the cardiovascularly challenging and spiritually charged but now defunct DEEP AEROBICS technique that he taught and disseminated for ten years. This participatory spectacle questions how we keep moving amidst the chaos of everyday life exuberant joy\, and systemic injustice.  \n“Aerobicon” was originally created in collaboration with performer Howie Rigberg. It is performed to Le Tigre’s “Deceptacon.” Miguel Gutierrez is an artist-in-residence with LMCC’s Extended Life Dance Development Program supported\, in part\, by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.  \nAll River To River Festival events tickets go live on May 21!  \nLearn more here!

SUMMARY:Whole body in my ear – Jesi Cook
DESCRIPTION:June 8\, 1pm & 4pm\nThe Arts Center at Governors Island\, Upper Gallery\nFREE (Reservation Requested) \nAccessibility: The Upper Gallery can be accessed by elevator via the lower cafe space or stairs. \nWhole body in my ear is a performance in which sound and body emerge as one fluid and dynamic textural form. The work sees performers splice and patch text\, movement\, and sound scores in creating new languages and porous realities. This endurance-based auditory fantasy pushes toward dissonance\, using it as a means to explore and amplify otherness. The scores build\, heighten\, and erode an ouroboric circuit—with patterns repeating\, leaking\, and breaking apart throughout a shifting sculptural landscape. \nPerformers: Jesi Cook\, Ayano Elson\, Amelia Heintzelman\, Mina Nishimura\nLive Sound Mixing: Jeff Aaron Bryant\nLighting Design: Daniele Sarti \nJesi Cook is an artist-in-residence with LMCC’s Extended Life Dance Development Program supported\, in part\, by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. \nAll River To River Festival events tickets go live on May 21!  \nLearn more here!

SUMMARY:whale fall reckoning – mayfield brooks
DESCRIPTION:Accompanied by electronic cellist\, Dorothy Carlos\, and performer Camilo Restrepo \nInstallation Activation\nJune 15\, 7pm\nThe Arts Center at Governors Island\, Upper Gallery\nFREE (Reservation Requested) \nInstallation\nJune 15\, 2-9pm\nJune 16\, 21 & 23\, 12-5pm\nJune 22\, 12-9pm\nThe Arts Center at Governors Island\, Upper Gallery\nFREE\, Drop-In \nAccessibility: The Upper Gallery can be accessed by elevator via the lower cafe space or stairs. All ferries to Governors Island are wheelchair accessible. Further accessibility information can be found here. \nChoreographer mayfield brooks presents two works–whale fall abyss in the cargo hold of the Tall Ship Wavertree\, calling up ghosts and ancestors from the intersecting histories of whalers and slave ships and whale fall reckoning in the Upper Gallery of The Arts Center at Governors Island. Using found objects\, sound\, light\, movement and projection\, brooks conjures an abyssal underwater world that transforms the formerly munitions storage warehouse into an imagined site of the decomposed whale. \nBoth presentations are a culmination of brooks’ project Whale Fall\, originally commissioned by Abrons Arts Center and virtually premiered as an experimental dance film in 2021 during the height of the Covid-19 epidemic. When Whale Fall (the film) premiered brooks wrote\, “This project was born out of a desire to sit with grief and rage in a world that discards too much and consumes too much. As a result\, the bodies of whales and the bodies of Black folk seem to have a kinship in how they have been both targeted\, hunted and consumed since the transatlantic slave trade. I have also come to know that some slave ships were used as whaling vessels.” In this present moment of continued environmental destruction caused by war and accelerated global warming\, brooks is asking\, “What light reaches us? What darkness welcomes the reckoning?”  \nAfter four years of rigorous research and numerous iterations\, brooks’s ever evolving project Whale Fall continues to decompose itself. This iteration lives as a call to the wild parts of ourselves\, a denouement to complacent attitudes towards death and decay. How are we  entangled in the ruse of romance with our compulsion to consume and our dependence on war machines? Why do we continue to kill?  How can the whale fall reorient us to face our own mortality with more compassion? brooks considers the whale fall as a reckoning. They imagine their ancestor’s bones mingling with whale bones beckoning us to embrace interspecies care and relation beyond the human. Perhaps we can save the whales\, ourselves\, and the planet if we simply decompose. \nPerformers mayfield brooks\, performer; Dorothy Carlos\, electric cellist; Camilo Restrepo\, performer \nPlease note Installation contents involve loud sounds and video containing moments of nudity. \nmayfield brooks is part of LMCC’s Extended Life Dance Development Program supported\, in part\, by The Andrew W.

SUMMARY:Tremor – Samita Sinha
DESCRIPTION:June 20\, 8pm\nFederal Hall\nFREE (Reservation Requested) \nAccessibility: Federal Hall National Memorial is fully accessible to wheelchair users. Ramp access is available through the rear entrance at 15 Pine Street. An elevator provides access to the upper and lower levels of the building. \nThis special iteration of Samita Sinha’s Tremor is performed in duet with Cecilia Vicuña. Presented in the resonant space of Federal Hall\, Sinha and Vicuña infuse their vibrations and lineages into the dense history and monumentality of the site\, opening other ways of sensing\, knowing\, being\, and being together.  Their vocalizations are spatialized live by sound designer Daniel Neumann\, within a visual design by architect Sunil Bald. \nTremor is an emergent and iterative performance and practice. Tremor was co-commissioned by Western Front and Danspace Project\, and has been presented at MCA Chicago. Collaborators in previous iterations include Ash Fure\, Okwui Okpokwasili\, Sunder Ganglani\, Darrell Jones\, James Proudfoot\, and Sarai Frazier.  Their contributions have shaped what Tremor is and how it now grows. \nPerformers: Samita Sinha and Cecilia Vicuña\nVisual Design: Sunil Bald\nSound Design: Daniel Neumann \nSamita Sinha is part of LMCC’s Extended Life Dance Development Program supported\, in part\, by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. \nPresented in partnership with the National Parks Service. \nAll River To River Festival events tickets go live on May 21! \nLearn more here!

SUMMARY:whale fall abyss – mayfield brooks
DESCRIPTION:Accompanied by electronic cellist\, Dorothy Carlos\, and performer Camilo Restrepo \nJune 19-22\, 7pm\nTall Ship Wavertree\nat the South Street Seaport Museum\nFREE (Reservation Requested) \nAccessibility: Please note that visiting Wavertree includes climbing up a few stairs\, walking up an angled gangway\, and then down a few stairs onto the deck. Access to the lower decks is by stairs; access to the upper deck is by steep ladder-like stairs. This site is not wheelchair accessible. \nChoreographer mayfield brooks presents two works–whale fall abyss in the cargo hold of the Tall Ship Wavertree\, calling up ghosts and ancestors from the intersecting histories of whalers and slave ships and whale fall reckoning in the Upper Gallery of The Arts Center at Governors Island. Using found objects\, sound\, light\, movement and projection\, brooks conjures an abyssal underwater world that transforms the formerly munitions storage warehouse into an imagined site of the decomposed whale. \nBoth presentations are a culmination of brooks’ project Whale Fall\, originally commissioned by Abrons Arts Center and virtually premiered as an experimental dance film in 2021 during the height of the Covid-19 epidemic. When Whale Fall (the film) premiered brooks wrote\, “This project was born out of a desire to sit with grief and rage in a world that discards too much and consumes too much. As a result\, the bodies of whales and the bodies of Black folk seem to have a kinship in how they have been both targeted\, hunted and consumed since the transatlantic slave trade. I have also come to know that some slave ships were used as whaling vessels.” In this present moment of continued environmental destruction caused by war and accelerated global warming\, brooks is asking\, “What light reaches us? What darkness welcomes the reckoning?”  \nAfter four years of rigorous research and numerous iterations\, brooks’s ever evolving project Whale Fall continues to decompose itself. This iteration lives as a call to the wild parts of ourselves\, a denouement to complacent attitudes towards death and decay. How are we entangled in the ruse of romance with our compulsion to consume and our dependence on war machines? Why do we continue to kill? How can the whale fall reorient us to face our own mortality with more compassion?  brooks considers the whale fall as a reckoning. They imagine their ancestor’s bones mingling with whale bones beckoning us to embrace interspecies care and relation beyond the human. Perhaps we can save the whales\, ourselves\, and the planet if we simply decompose. \nPerformers: mayfield brooks\, performer; Dorothy Carlos\, electric cellist; Camilo Restrepo\, performer \nmayfield brooks is part of LMCC’s Extended Life Dance Development Program supported\, in part\, by The Andrew W.

Showcasing the choreography of five highly trained contemporary ballet dancers\, this virtuosic and intricate dance is a study in contrasts: silk with asphalt\, structured choreography with improvisation\, and private space in public. Since its July 2020 premiere\, The Carpet Series has been performed over 150 times in all five boroughs.
