Community Program. Registration encouraged.   \nSkyla Schreter Dance (SSD) returns to Bethany Arts Community for their second artist in residence\, creating the final chapter of their original\, narrative dance work\, “The Flock.” Join SSD at Bethany Arts Community for a behind-the-scenes look into the creation process of “The Flock.” This informal studio showing will begin with an introduction to the larger project\, followed by a short open rehearsal with the dancers working through the newly-created choreographic material. At the end of the showing\, SSD will present a premiere of the “first draft” of Chapter 6 – the 13-minute final chapter in the story; created entirely during the company’s Artist Residency at Bethany Arts Community. \nChoreographer & Artistic Director: Skyla Schreter\nRehearsal Director: Craig Wasserman\nDancers: Hannah Straney\, Piper Dye\, Cristina Moya-Palacios\, Kimie Parker\, Kristina Desjardins\, Mikayla Lambert\, Emily Mistretta  \nAbout “The Flock”\n“The Flock” is an original narrative dance work from Hudson Valley-based dance company Skyla Schreter Dance. As a powerful synthesis of artistic mediums and disciplines\, and inspired by the best-selling novella “Jonathan Livingston Seagull\,” “The Flock” tells the story of a restless young seagull named Jo\, who dreams and strives to transcend the limitations imposed upon her by the rigid traditions of her home Flock.  In her relentless quest to perfect her ability of flight and turn it into an art form and more than just a means to consume\, she breaks with both her family and The Flock\, and is banished and exiled for her transgressions. Rather than limiting her\, this opens up a whole new world of self-exploration and artistry\, where Jo is free to learn and grow\, build a new community rooted in her values\, and live the life she chooses for herself.  “The Flock” is currently mid-development\, and includes both live dance and film elements; including a short film “Jo’s Dream” filmed on Bannerman Island in the Hudson River\, in partnership with the Bannerman Castle Trust. \nAbout Skyla Schreter Dance\nSkyla Schreter Dance combines classical ballet with a contemporary aesthetic to convey modern-day stories and perspectives. Taking an inter-disciplinary approach\, our work often integrates film\, visual art and musical collaboration to expand the common boundaries of dance as a presentational art form\, while maintaining the body as the primary instrument for creation and expression. Founded and led by choreographer and director Skyla Schreter\, SSD is a collective of dancers\, designers and collaborators working across professional dance\, music and visual arts to connect and elevate our shared human experience through creation.  \nTo support or learn more about the project\, and to keep up with Skyla Schreter Dance\, visit: https://www.skylaschreterdance.com/projects/the-flock  URL:https://bethanyarts.org/calendar/theflockopenstu2026/ LOCATION:Bethany Arts Community\, 40 Somerstown Rd.\, Ossining\, NY\, 10562\, United States CATEGORIES:2026 Residencies,Artober,Community Program,Dance,Performance,Program ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://bethanyarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/THEFLOCK_Oct24BAC-scaled.png ORGANIZER;CN="Bethany Arts Community":MAILTO:info@bethanyarts.org GEO:41.17225;-73.828321 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bethany Arts Community 40 Somerstown Rd.

Registration encouraged\, walk-ins welcome until we reach capacity. \nJoin BAC Artist-in-Residence Michelle Zarco for an evening of music\, in partnership with Musicambia.   \nThis concert will be the premiere of a new set of original music by flutist\, singer and songwriter Michelle Zarco\, written and arranged during her residency at Bethany Arts Community. The 50 minute program will be performed with a small chamber music ensemble\, followed by a 15-20 minute Q&A with the artists.  \nMichelle will be joined by a guest alumni from Musicambia for 2 to 3 songs of their own\, arranged by Michelle. \nA NOTE FROM MICHELLE\nFor most of my career\, I’ve supported other people’s artistic work—as a teaching artist\, session musician\, songwriter\, an artist manager for seven years\, and now as a career and brand consultant. It always felt safest and easiest to stay on the sidelines of artistic work\, channeling my own creativity through someone else\, without the personal risk of being seen. \nThis is in part because choosing music as a career can be a double-edged sword. The pressure of making it your livelihood can sap the joy and nourishment it’s supposed to give you as an artist. Teaching songwriting workshops in prisons through Musicambia is what changed that for me. Watching students write and perform their own songs\, often for the first time\, and seeing deep wells of passion\, creativity\, courage and resilience\, broke through the fog and pushed me to start cultivating and writing my own music again. \nThis concert is the result. These songs are personal and reflective\, influenced by my favorite artists in R&B\, soul\, and world music\, and arranged for a small chamber ensemble that reflects my classical training. It feels fitting that this residency and concert are a culmination of this shift in my artistic practice\, presented in partnership with Musicambia\, with one of their alumni joining me on stage. \nABOUT MUSICAMBIA\nMusicambia (“music” + “change”) helps people in prison and jail write\, play\, and perform music\, cultivating collaborative communities that benefit the health and well-being of everyone involved. Musicambia’s Flagship Program\, which began at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in 2014\, meets biweekly from September to June. Thirty incarcerated participants attend morning and afternoon classes for 4 hours\, fostering teamwork\, empathy\, and a sense of responsibility to themselves as well as to their fellow students. Musicambia also has programs at Bedford Hills\, Fishkill\, and Eastern Correctional Facilities in New York\, and in Kansas and California. Musicambia annually reaches 140 incarcerated participants\, as well as audiences of over 200 incarcerated people for concerts. Previously\, the organization worked in Indiana and South Carolina: all told\, Musicambia has created programs in 12 different facilities.  \nMusicambia’s Teaching Artists hold positions in the Attacca Quartet and Imani Winds\, and have taught at Juilliard\, Curtis\, Princeton\, and Peabody. They have won GRAMMY awards\, and collaborated with Pulitzer- Prize winners and pop-stars like Prince. Their musical backgrounds span Western classical\, jazz\, hip-hop\, and popular genres\, as well as Indian classical ragas.  \nLearn more about Musicambia here: https://www.musicambia.org/  \nABOUT MICHELLE\nMichelle is a classically trained flutist based in NYC\, with a musical practice spanning classical\, world\, and pop idioms. She also sings\, plays piano\, and percussion. In 2024 she founded Orchestra Elena\, whose debut performance at Brooklyn Bridge Park was broadcast live on WNYC. She teaches music and songwriting inside correctional facilities through Musicambia\, and draws on seven years in classical artist management at Colbert Artists Management to advise musicians on branding and career strategy\, most recently as the selected consulting artist for Chamber Music America’s Ensemble Forward grant. Born in the Philippines and raised in the U.S.\, she is currently training to become a healer through craniosacral therapy\, energy work\, and herbalism\, and feels most grounded spending time outdoors in nature. She believes in the power of healing through creativity\, self expression\, and self empowerment\, and hopes to help the people around her become healthier and more fully themselves.\n \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.

The Power of Process with Emerging Artist Fellow Jayna Dias DESCRIPTION:This workshop is sold out. If you’re interested in being on the waitlist for this workshop\, please email julias@bethanyarts.org. \nThe Power of Process with Emerging Artist Fellow Jayna Dias\nDate & Time: Thursday\, August 13\, 2026 6:30-9PM\nFREE Community Program. Registration required.  \nMaintaining an artistic practice that dedicates substantial time to think ahead of making is a valuable skill that assists in enhancing art’s content. Join us for a detailed workshop designed to develop this skill by focusing on the importance of intention and planning before creating an artwork. \nParticipants will be guided through a series of group breathing\, writing and sketching exercises created to develop finding inspiration\, and reconnecting with the self. For those with artistic experience\, this workshop will aid in sharpening your voice\, and for those with a desire to make art\, this workshop will serve as a launching point to discover it. Everyone will walk away with a deeper understanding of their drive to make and a framework for how to tap into it. Be prepared for a relaxing evening devoted to The Power of Process!  \nAll artists are welcome\, ages 16+ — any experience level\, background\, or discipline. The workshop will include a dedicated time for hands-on “making\,” so we encourage you to bring your own art supplies related to your artistic discipline and/or what you’d like to explore during this workshop. Writing materials will be provided.  \nFor questions\, accessibility requests\, or assistance with registration\, email julias@bethanyarts.org or call BAC at 914-944-4278.   \nThis event is an Artist Residency Community Program. 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 partner.  \nAbout Jayna\nJayna Dias is a Senegalese-American visual artist and performer that creates works rooted in the complexity of the Black diaspora. Through drawings\, paintings\, and the body\, Dias creates visual exemplifications of the intricacy of Black identity\, Western colonialism’s intervention on it\, and how deconstruction can be a powerful tool in reasserting it. Her work investigates themes of misogynoir\, cultural hybridity\, and fetishization channeled through lived experiences\, family lineage\, and academic research. Unstable compositions\, expressionistic figures\, boisterous colors\, and found materials are all utilized in her practice to stage invitations for viewers to engage with the underrepresented themes she depicts. Above all\, Dias’ practice is about visibility. \nDias earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Art from the University of Southern California in 2024. She has exhibited around Los Angeles\, shown in Venice\, Italy during the 2024 Biennale\, and has work in the Newport Historical Society’s collection for their Center of Black History. She completed an academic research fellowship through the Frank C. Munson Institute at the Mystic Seaport Museum in 2025 and was a visiting resident at Real Time & Space in Oakland during February of 2026. Currently practicing in Los Angeles\, Dias also works as a Visitor Experience and Community Engagement Associate at the California African American Museum. \nThis fellowship is generously supported by URL:https://bethanyarts.org/calendar/thepowerofprocess/ LOCATION:Bethany Arts Community\, 40 Somerstown Rd.\, Ossining\, NY\, 10562\, United States CATEGORIES:2026 Residencies,Community Program,Creative Writing,Emerging Artist Fellowship 2026,Program ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://bethanyarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Power-of-Process_Jayna-CP-2026-SQUARE.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Bethany Arts Community":MAILTO:info@bethanyarts.org GEO:41.17225;-73.828321 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bethany Arts Community 40 Somerstown Rd.

How do you go about creating and displaying “scary” artwork\, how do you create space for it? \nThese guiding questions brought the first show to light in 2024\, expanding for a second year in 2025 with “I’M SCARED TOO\,” returning for a third year with “I’M SCARED 2026”.
