SUMMARY:Getting your process unstuck: Embodied practices for creative blocks with BAC Artist-In-Residence Laura Perovich
DESCRIPTION:Getting your process unstuck: Embodied practices for creative blocks\nwith BAC Artist-in-Residence Laura Perovich \nDate & Time: Thursday\, September 24\, 2026 7-8:30PM\nFREE Community Program. Registration encouraged\, walk-ins welcome until we reach capacity. \nThis workshop explores the creative blocks that are part of many artistic practices. When there’s no way forward on a project\, how can we find a way over\, under\, and around?  \nParticipants should bring a project they’re feeling creatively stuck on. All media are welcome\, including visual arts\, writing\, music\, movement\, and craft\, among others.   \nDuring the workshop\, we will find our way through our stuckness through individual and group explorations. Activities will include structured reflection\, experimentation\, and embodied movement practices\, and will be adaptable to individual needs\, interests\, and concerns. Optional hands-on work may be offered. \nABOUT LAURA\nLaura Perovich is an interdisciplinary artist and designer. Her practice explores the push and pull between people and technologies through the lenses of craft\, community\, and corporality. She creates textile art and embodied experiences that aim to help us find something interesting about who we are\, alone and together. Perovich received her PhD from MIT and is an associate professor at Northeastern University. Her work also draws on her experience as a dancer\, somatic practitioner in training\, environmentalist\, and maker.  \nThis Community Program is a part of BAC’s Annual Fall Multidisciplinary Residency. As part of a residency at BAC\, we ask each artist to build and facilitate a Community Program. Community Programs are a unique opportunity for both artists-in-residence and our local community to gather\, engage\, and be in conversation with one another through art. Community Programs are free engagements open to the public and/or in collaboration with a local community partners.  \nLearn more about this year’s Fall Multidisciplinary Residency here! \nBAC’s 2026 Fall Multidisciplinary Residency is made possible with support from New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Governor’s office and the New York State Legislature\, Westchester County Board of Legislators\, ArtsWestchester and Westchester County Government.

A poem written for a photograph. The image speaks first\, and the writing answers back. In this 60-minute workshop we get into what ekphrasis is\, where it comes from\, and why writers keep returning to it. Then we try it ourselves\, in poems. No writing experience necessary and nothing to prepare.   \nYou leave with a poem that started as an image. Then stay after for The People’s Mic\, hosted by Westchester Poet Laureate\, Phylisha Villanueva. See below for info on The People’s Mic.  \nAges 18+\nBring a notebook and your favorite writing utensil.  \nFacilitated by E’mon Lauren\, Chicago’s first Youth Poet Laureate and Bethany Arts Community Fall 2026 Artist-in-Residence.  More about E’mon and our Fall Multidisciplinary Residency below! \n——  \nThe People’s Mic (following A Picture is Worth 1000 Words)\nFriday September 25\, 7-9PM (doors open at 6:30PM)\nHudson Valley Writers Center (300 Riverside Drive\, Sleepy Hollow\, NY)  \n \nThe People’s Mic is more than an open mic; it’s a community gathering rooted in care\, creativity\, and connection\, hosted by Westchester Poet Laureate Phylisha Villanueva.
