SUMMARY:Artists in Residence:  Suzi Takahashi & Kristin Marting (HERE Arts) – “THE STORY BOX”
DESCRIPTION:Suzi Takahashi & Kristin Marting (HERE Arts) – “THE STORY BOX” \nTakahashi and Marting are developing The Story Box\, which uses a traditional form of Japanese storytelling called\, kamishibai\, to compare the lives a Japanese American today to girl living in a 1943 internment camp. They will share an excerpted reading of the work\, which ends with a group storytelling event then guide the audience through the group storytelling event. Participating audience members will select an image from which they will be invited to share a story about their own American experience with a small group of other audience members. They will follow the exploration with a talkback to ascertain audience reactions. In the way\, the audience will have an opportunity to play an important role in developing the work. \n  \n  \n \nBethany Arts Community’s residency programs are made possible by ArtsWestchester with support from Westchester County Government.

SUMMARY:The Harlem Renaissance: A Golden Age
DESCRIPTION:The Harlem Renaissance holds the distinction of being the longest running movement in the history of art! Join us on Friday\, February 19th – 7:30 PM (1 hour) to celebrate its remarkable achievements with this Online Course facilitated by JILL KIEFER\, Ph.D. \nRegister\nThe term Harlem Renaissance refers to the prolific flowering of literary\, visual\, and musical arts within the African American community that emerged around 1920 in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City. The visual arts were one component of a rich cultural development\, including many interdisciplinary collaborations\, where artists worked closely with writers\, publishers\, playwrights\, and musicians. There was no single style that defined the Harlem Renaissance. Rather\, artists found different ways to celebrate African American culture and identity and historical links that dignified and expanded the history of the African American experience. \nWith Thanks and Acknowledgement:\nThis program is sponsored by Ossining Innovates!

Her senior project\, playing Lady Macbeth in an all-female Macbeth at Vassar’s Powerhouse Theatre\, earned her the Molly Thatcher Kazan Memorial Prize. After her graduation\, she apprenticed at the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival and subsequently spent four years acting regionally before gaining acceptance into NYU’s Graduate Acting Program\, where she received her MFA and the Olympia Dukakis and Ron Van Lieu Scholarships. While at NYU\, she wrote and directed her first play\, which was one of four selected to be performed for prospective students during audition weekend. \nKate has acted in 17 of Shakespeare’s works (favorite roles include Desdemona in Othello\, Julia in Two Gentlemen of Verona\, Perdita in The Winter’s Tale and the titular role in Hamlet)\, and written several of her own plays based off of Shakespeare’s characters: Before the Storm\, an exploration of Caliban and Miranda’s relationship prior to The Tempest\, Motley Fool\, an imagining of Rosalind and Orlando’s marriage after As You Like It\, and An Evening With the Macbeths\, a vignette examining the domestic side of Shakespeare’s most infamous couple.

SUMMARY:Storytelling using Silk paintings with Artist in Residence\, Carole Bonicelli
DESCRIPTION:During this talk and hands-on demonstration\, Carole will share her artistic process from the beginning of an idea for a story – or a painting – through to final completion of a project. After explaining her process\, she will invite workshop participants to join her in a hands-on demonstration. Each participant will go home with a small creation of their own. \nREGISTER NOW\nThis event is being held in-person at Bethany Arts Community. For your safety\, and the safety of our artists and staff\, attendance is being limited and you will be required to wear a mask while at Bethany irrespective of vaccination status. Please read our Covid-19 Safety Statement before your visit. \n\n\n\n\nBio\nMy undergraduate school was The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. I received my Master of Fine Arts from Yale University. As a Fulbright Scholar to Venice\, Italy I studied Byzantine Architecture and mosaics. A Fulbright Memorial Fellowship to Japan gave me the opportunity to satisfy a lifelong interest in East Asian art and culture. I am a published author and illustrator of children’s books\, and my artwork is in syndication on the Sesame Street TV series. \nI see art (in all its manifestations) as social imperative. My painting “Venus Revisited” was included in the book Art.Rage.Us. and traveled around the world with other art works\, raising awareness about breast cancer and the importance of early detection. I am passionate about environmental conservation and have been the recording artist on Conservation International Expeditions around the world. My onsite drawings and videos have been used to share information about the underlying causes of climate crisis. \nAs the Chair of Fine Arts at a private school in Westchester\, NY for 30 years\, I introduced and taught courses in drawing\, painting\, sculpture\, ceramics\, stained glass\, glass fusing\, printmaking\, computer graphics and Art History. I was also Adjunct Professor of Art at Pace University. As an artist who teaches\, I found immense rewards in sharing my passion for learning through the discipline of the arts. When I retired from teaching\, I spent September as the Artist in Residence at The North Rim of The Grand Canyon. It was a sublime experience in an awesome landscape. These experiences speak to my soul and inform my art whether I’m working with pastels\, paint\, or clay. My life as an artist has been a journey inspired by my reverence for nature and my respect for human culture. \nArtist’s social media:\nWebsite:\ncarolebonicelli.com \nResidencies and programs at Bethany Arts Community are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M.

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence: Amber Ray Snyder Create for Star Stuff Stories Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Amber in the creation of a Star Stuff Story. The microphone is your mask and you are a player! Share your voice into the microphone OR just witness how audio storytelling works. With some creative play and collaborative writing\, we will cast some characters and record your voice for the Star Stuff Stories podcast.  \nREGISTER\nResidency Plan:\nAmber Ray Snyder comes to BAC with microphones and sound editing software to further the audio stories library of her original podcast series\, Star Stuff Stories. In an attempt to explore and give light to other voices\, Amber hopes to collect more stories from the Bethany community and give amplification to experiences other than her own. While she plans to arrive with stories to potentially record she also hopes to leave with stories written and recorded by the community. All with sound effects and original music. This is a place where dreams live while you’re awake. Welcome to Star Stuff Stories!  \nBio:\nAmber Ray Snyder is a Chicago based artist and is the founder of The Eclipse Show (on YouTube) and Star Stuff Stories (on Spotify and Apple Podcasts). With 20 plus years’ experience as a stage actor\, Amber has most recently invested her creative time into filmmaking and audio storytelling. She has written and directed five short films since 2018 including an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven (EVERMORE NEVERMORE) which was rewarded “Best Adapted Film” at the Edgar Allan Poe Film Festival of West Virginia (2021) and was accepted into 7 film festivals across the United States. Filmmaking aside\, her creation of Star Stuff Stories was born in 2022 and is complete with sound effects\, original music\, original stories and a variety of voices\, all told very à la radio play style. Her goal is to use audio storytelling as a platform for voices from all walks of life. An opportunity to pass on a point of view that might be valuable to young and grown minds alike. With the modern world being full of screens\, Amber hopes to be a part of creating a space for the “screens” inside of our mind\, through audio. \n\n\n\n\n\nResidencies and programs at Bethany Arts Community are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Governor’s office and the New York State Legislature\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, Arts Westchester\, and numerous individual donors. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence: AriDy Nox - At The Bayou's Mouth Reading and Talk
DESCRIPTION:AriDy Nox will present a reading of excerpts from her triptych At The Bayou’s Mouth (working title). Afterward there will be a facilitated discussion about triptychs\, nonlinear playwriting\, and creativity rooted in black femme identity. AriDy will receive feedback and reactions to the works-in-progress and discuss the opportunities afforded us as creative thinkers when we go beyond traditional structure\, as well as the stories we can explore when we allow ourselves to think outside of the box. \nREGISTER\nResidency Plan:\nI am currently working on a magical realism triptych that follows a black family along the matrilineal line across three generations as they work to understand motherhood in nontraditional contexts. The triptych exists in a village that is a mix of all the Southern towns I have ever lived in\, on the outskirts of a Bayou. I intend to finish a detailed outline of the second play of the series\, water\, as well as a rough draft of the third play in the series\, witchling. I am also deeply excited by the idea of pulling in other artists to possibly engage in my process in collaborative ways\, especially choreographers and musicians. The triptych will have a lot of underscoring and *movement*. As a fledgling composer\, I would love to get feedback on some of the rough scores that I will be composing and possible movement that comes out of those scores.  \nBio:\nAriDy Nox is a multi-disciplinary black femme storyteller and social activist with a variety of forward-thinking creative works under her/their belt including the historical reimagining of the life of Sally Hemmings BLACK GIRL IN PARIS (2020)\, the ancestral reckoning play A WALLESS CHURCH (2019)\, the afrofuturist ecopocalypse musical METROPOLIS (2019)\, and many others. AriDy creates out of the vehement belief that creating a future in which marginalized peoples are free requires a radical imagination. Their tales are offerings intended to function as small parts of an ancient\, expansive\, awe-inspiring tradition of world-shaping\, created by and for black femmes.  As a graduate of the Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program at Tisch School of the Performing Arts at NYU and a beneficiary of the Musical Theatre Factory Inaugural MAKERS cohort\, the Emerging Writer’s Group at the Public Theatre\, The Civilians’ Research and Development Group\, Horizon Theatre’s Black Women Speak Cohort\, and the Live and In Color June Bingham commission\, they have been inordinately privileged to share the workings of her imagination among a vast array of inspiring and supportive artists of various radical backgrounds throughout the country.  \n\n\n\n\n\nResidencies and programs at Bethany Arts Community are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Governor’s office and the New York State Legislature\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, Arts Westchester\, and numerous individual donors. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:"Kinetic Grace" Work-In-Progress Showing with Ryan McNamara
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Kinetic Grace” Work-In-Progress Showing\nDate & Time: Saturday\, October 28\, 2023 2-3PM\n\n\nPlease join us as we walk you through the creation process of our piece “Kinetic Grace.” \nThis piece came out of asking ourselves\, “After all these years\, what do we want out of performance?” Somehow the answer to that question involves making a musical about a cult who believes that dance will lead us to transcendence. \n\nThis is our first residency of actually constructing “Kinetic Grace\,” so we are as excited as you are to see what we have come up with.This event is a BAC 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.
