SUMMARY:Sankofa\, a new performance by Anna Parisi
DESCRIPTION:July 15\, 3pm and 5pm\nLower Gallery at The Arts Center at Governors Island\nRSVP Here! \nSankofa\, an African word from the Akan tribe in Ghana\, conveys the ancient wisdom in learning and retrieving from the past to ensure a brighter\, healthier and wiser future. Sankofa\, a new performance by Anna Parisi\, portrays a young Black woman\, who is contending with the voices in her head and her self-worth in a world where the standards of beauty and value do not match her identity. Parisi is joined by Shareef Kinslow who plays Damon a menacing specter and trickster and Zamo Mlengana who plays Nina\, a kind\, quiet 10-year-old Black girl who returns from her first pool party feeling heartbroken and deceived. \nThe performance takes place in a liminal space. A waiting room. A void within the mind\, where she is remembering a traumatic event from her childhood and processing her experience and thoughts towards healing. Navigating her inner liminal space\, the young woman engages in a necessary rebellion against inherited ideals\, weaving past and future\, and laying down the threads for the rebirth of her present wholeness. \nSankofa is inspired by and stems from interviews Parisi conducted with people of color from Brazil\, USA\, Trinidad Tobago and Hawaii on their relationship with their hair. \nDirected by: Maggie Scrantom \nCostume design by: Raquel Wynmann \nDocumentation by: Natalia Almonte \nSpecial thanks to: Flávia Vieira\, Rebecca Barreto\, Luiza Côrrea\, Dalaeja Foreman\, Keith O.

SUMMARY:Zero Station — Molly Lieber and Eleanor Smith
DESCRIPTION:Zero Station\nMolly Lieber and Eleanor Smith\n\nJune 12\, 7:30pm – 8:30pm\nFlamboyan Theater\, The Clemente\nRSVPs recommended \nAll events in the River To River Festival are free and all are welcome \nRSVP Here! \n–\nZero Station works out shame\, citing a felt understanding as part of the experience of abjection. Confronting hypersexualization as the limp white feminine byproduct of capitalism\, we present movements derived from pregnancy\, lactation\, mental illness\, physical illness\, surgery\, and aging\, and then segment\, otherize\, and disappear these forms in trash. Through trauma we are greatly affected\, and our capacity to be affected\, to understand how we may affect one another\, is heightened. Within this gained fluidity is potential to think beyond ourselves. \nChoreography and Performance by Molly Lieber and Eleanor Smith. \nPresented in partnership with The Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center. \nSupported by Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels. \n–\nMolly Lieber & Eleanor Smith have collaborated somatically since 2006 to create feminist statements that strive to break down heteropatriarchal racism and sexism through abstract dances that denounce the hypersexualization of the white ciswoman and speak out through her. Our non-hierarchical methodology processes content by filtering information between us; feelings are recognized and recreated physically through energetic transference and psychoanalytically through communication and mirroring. Practices of reciprocal recognition combat shame\, reverse the subordinating impact of rape\, and work in conjunction with comrade feminist scholars and artists to disarm neoliberal capitalism’s upholding of the race and gender binary system. Our 7 collaborations premiered in NYC where we are committed to building sustainability for artists and directly serving marginalized families through lactation work\, reproductive justice\, and somatic improvisation workshops.
