Some of these include a scored movement obstacle course (no props\, just ourselves in the space-don’t worry we aren’t climbing under furniture or anything wild)\, walking scores\, circular patterns\, and other felt movement forms with partners\, as individuals\, and/or in groups. These scores are wonderful tools from Equus Projects that Teresa has been investigating and learning from JoAnna Mendl Shaw through choreographic research and mentorship that activate connection with our brains\, bodies\, and each other.  \n@bodystories_teresafelliondance https://bodystoriesfellion.org/  \n3:15pm \nNattie Trogdon + Hollis Bartlett \nFallacies \nPerformance/ artist talk (30 min) \nWith Brendan Drake\, Wendell Gray II\, Noa Weiss\, Katerina Belmatch\, Symara Sarai\, Nattie Trogdon\, Hollis Bartlett  \nFallacies’ is a movement work of reference and research project that culls known dances from pop culture and bodily memory to live in the space between replication and translation.

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 real-time signal processing tools and improvisational strategies\, we set up a performance space where our persona interacts with a discarded megaphone. By re-using this object as a tool and instrument to both project and receive transmission frequencies\, we are searching for a way to communicate with our queer ancestors and those yet to be born. \n@marblemonmon / @s_pirler \n\n3:30pm \nBobby Abate \nThe Outside Tarot  \nLecture (15-30 min) \nI am excited to present the Outsider Tarot and its guidebook for open studios\, a project that took 10 years to research\, create and self-publish.  I will discuss the inspiration\, esoteric foundations\, new suits of the Minor Arcana\, a Major Arcana without people and the eviction of the royal family. We might even do a reading or two. Copies of the deck and guidebook will be available for purchase. \nThe Outsider Tarot reinterprets the Golden Dawn and Rider Waite decks\, emphasizing inclusivity and diversity within the original esoteric framework. The hand-rendered imagery fuses classic Tarot style with my own artwork\, which will be on display in my studio space.  The spiritual guide for the Outsider Tarot is Rachel Pollack\, an internationally renowned trans author\, artist\, and Tarot grandmaster\, who sadly passed away this year. Rachel joins other inspirational ‘Outsiders’ like Kathy Acker\, Punk Rock Feminist writer; Leigh Bowery\, avant-garde performance artist; Nina Simone\, legendary singer; Samuel Steward\, renegade Queer author and tattoo artist; Jackie Shane\, trailblazing transgender soul singer\, and more\, enriching the deck with their wisdom and guidance. https://www.outsidertarot.com/ \nOutsidertarot.com    @bobbysweetkitty \n\n4:00pm \nRonit Levin Delgado \nShabbat Brides (Work in Progress) \nPerformance + Screening (20 min) \n“We can only grab another’s hand when our hand is free”  \nMultidisciplinary artist Ronit Levin Delgado\, in collaboration with Katie Cercone and Kelly Shaw Nyala\, invites the audience to enter into our bodies and engage in self-reflection through symbolic movement-based rituals allowing ourselves to focus on the moment\, to dance\, sing and share mother nature’s gifts\, celebrating the abundance and joy of nature.  \nEach performer embodies a hybrid Goddess of Happiness\, reminding viewer’s there’s no need to look outside of ourselves or worship a disembodied idol. Rather\, we can find peace\, joy and happiness by gazing inwards – and claiming what we have culturally disavowed or denied ourselves permission to actualize. A signature of Delgado’s work\, mirrors and reflective surfaces embellish the installation space as three Goddesses dance in choreographed sequences for connection to the spirit realms and nature. \nAs a whole\, the performance invites audience participants to reflect upon their relationship from the spacious naturescape of Governor’s Island\, just a heartbeat away from the city and its perpetual chaos. Audience members are invited to “go within” and join the three Artists in self-reflective exploration of the Goddess within\, an ancient path to liberation… \nThe performance will formally begin in the outdoor gallery space\, whereby the artists will interact with found natural objects on the island\, including each other\, vacillating between contact dance and other dance-based movements. Eventually the piece moves indoors\, where inspired by the natural elements and sounds of magical Governors Island\, a trinity of female artists connect and activate the surroundings through movements based in Yoga – including Breath of Joy meditation\, various nature-based asanas and group exercises. A video installation capturing the water in front of the Statue of Liberty that is also connected to Governors Island will be projected. Reminding us that life is fluid and pure. Water being one of our most essential natural resources\, and one of Mother Earth’s gifts\, it will be a primary symbolic centerpiece within the interactive performance ritual. \n@ronitlevindelgado URL:https://lmcc.net/events/open-studios-with-arts-center-artists-in-residence-2/ LOCATION:The Arts Center at Governors Island\, 110 Andes Road\, New York\, NY\, 10004\, United States CATEGORIES:Public Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lmcc.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/acgi23_TakeCareSeries_July2023_RoshniKhatri_21.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230916T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230916T190000 DTSTAMP:20260403T141257 CREATED:20230821T161302Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230905T192714Z UID:10000051-1694872800-1694890800@lmcc.net SUMMARY:Allies in Arts presents MICRODOSES DESCRIPTION:September 16\, 2-7:30pm  \nJoin Allies in Arts and LMCC on Saturday\, September 16 from 2-7pm for a full day of artist talks\, performances\, readings\, and a special DJ set to celebrate the exhibition ANTI•VENOM.

Predominantly Syrian and Lebanese\, these early writers formed a literary association called al Rabitah al Qalamiyah (the Pen Bond)\, among whose founders was famed author\, poet and artist Kahlil Gibran. The musicians will integrate their classical Arabic music with the poetry readings\, using traditional musical instruments. \nPresented in partnership with Washington Street Historical Society and The Battery Conservancy. \n–\nNEW YORK ARABIC ORCHESTRA has transformed Arabic music education in New York City and impacted thousands of students and concert-goers since 2007. The NYAO has swept the world with powerful performances and workshops\, from Lincoln Center Out-of-Doors\, Damrosch Park and Detroit Symphony Hall\, to Festival Musicas Do Mundo in Portugal and Taipei Silk Road Music Conference in Taiwan. Through concerts and classes\, the NYAO watched countless non-natives transform their lives toward the pursuit of Arabic music; and thousands of Arab-Americans\, inspired to revive the music of their upbringing and youth\, become forever changed by the experience of Arabic music.
