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.

SUMMARY:House of a Thousand Flowers: Paper Flower-Making Workshops
DESCRIPTION:June 7\, 14\, 21\, 28 | 1-2:30pm\nat The Arts Center at Governors Island\, Studio A4 (Upper Level)\n \n\nLearn about the history of paper flower making and the symbolism and mythology surrounding flowers. Participants will learn to make unique paper flowers using punches\, colored paper\, watercolor paints\, and markers. Each workshop will introduce different flowers for crafting. Take your creations home or donate them to become an integral piece of Maison Millefleurs\, an illuminated public art piece\, presented by LMCC as part of the 2025 River To River Festival\, premiering this summer in Battery Park.  \nFree Paper Flower-Making Workshops will take place June 7\, June 14\, June 21\, and June 28 at 1pm-2:30pm in Studio A4 at The Arts Center at Governors Island.

SUMMARY:2023 Exhibition Season at The Arts Center at Governors Island!
DESCRIPTION:The Arts Center at Governors Island is now open from May 6-October 1\, 2023! \nExhibitions at The Arts Center explore a range of ideas and media with an emphasis on site-specific projects that take the Art Center’s unique location into consideration. Special events take place throughout the Summer in conjunction with each of three annual exhibitions\, including artist talks\, workshops\, and The Take Care Series. \nThe 2023 exhibition season takes inspiration from LMCC’s long history as a supporter of the arts through the theme of the passage of time. Each exhibition offers different perspectives on the ways in which artists respond to ideas about time such as personal history\, the legacies of activism\, objects we collect\, intergenerational relationships\, and more. \nAll exhibitions and events at The Arts Center are free and open to the public\, and all are welcome. \nLearn more about the 2023 exhibition season here!
