SUMMARY:“Our Wounds\, Our Power” Work-in-Process Showing with Skyla Schreter Dance
DESCRIPTION:“Our Wounds\, Our Power” Work-in-Process Showing with Skyla Schreter Dance\nDate & Time: Sunday\, June 30\, 2024 3:30-4:30PM\nFee: FREE! Community Program \nJoin Skyla Schreter Dance at Bethany Arts Community for a presentation showcasing the creative process of their newest project “Our Wounds\, Our Power.” Choreographer Skyla Schreter will lead the company dancers through a live demonstration of the various artistic influences that form the foundation of the project’s source inspiration. Showcasing excerpts of the new choreography created while in residence at BAC\, the presentation will illustrate how the particular artistic inspirations for the project – encompassing poetry\, painting\, costuming and music – come to life in the creation of the choreography. \nThis residency is supported by the New York State Council on the Arts Individual Artist Award – Choreography Commission. \nThis event is a 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 “Our Wounds\, Our Power”\nPulling inspiration from feminist pioneers across artistic disciplines and scientific fields\, “Our Wounds\, Our Power’‘ examines healing as a continuum that is in constant flux\, rather than an end result that can be achieved. \nIn their residency at BAC\, Skyla Schreter Dance will experiment with forming a collective identity that traverses through various psychological\, sensational and emotional stages of healing\, particularly related to their experiences as womxn; investigating and interweaving the transitory nature of a cyclical process that is ever-evolving. \nChoreography for “Our Wounds\, Our Power” will be created by Skyla Schreter\, in collaboration with the dancers of Skyla Schreter Dance. “Our Wounds\, Our Power” references\, quotes and integrates artistic work from Mira Calix\, Adrienne Rich\, Michelle Silver and Lauren Carmen. \nAbout The Company\nSkyla Schreter (choreographer & artistic director)\nSkyla Schreter is a New-York based choreographer and multi-disciplinary artist\, formerly a dancer with San Francisco Ballet for six seasons\, where she created original roles in works by contemporary ballet choreographers including William Forsythe\, Justin Peck\, Cathy Marston and David Dawson\, to name a few.

SUMMARY:SPARK
DESCRIPTION:SPARK\nJuly 12-14\, 2024 – One Weekend Only! \nSPARK is a thought-provoking and inspiring theatrical experience that captures the beauty and the drama of life and transformation. Told through the voices of 10 women\, SPARK is a tapestry of multi-layered personal stories\, movement and soul-stirring music covering identity\, loss\, love and growth. \nCreated by Tami McCarthy (Actor\, Artistic Director\, Writer\, Producer)\, SPARK is a profound journey into the depths of the human experience inspired by Tami’s own life. The experience weaves together a chorus of unique and powerful voices as the women in the cast reveal true life-changing moments when divine intervention or instinct takes control\, leading them to a spark that nurtured their spirit and lit the path ahead. \nSPARK serves as a mirror\, highlighting how we are all connected as it prompts audience members to reflect on their own moments of self-discovery while celebrating the resiliency of the human spirit. At times deeply jarring\, but ultimately uplifting\, SPARK encourages viewers to confront the complexities of life and\, in doing so\, find a sense of euphoric liberation.

SUMMARY:SPARK - July 12 @ 8PM
DESCRIPTION:SPARK\nJuly 12-14\, 2024 – One Weekend Only! \nSPARK is a thought-provoking and inspiring theatrical experience that captures the beauty and the drama of life and transformation. Told through the voices of 10 women\, SPARK is a tapestry of multi-layered personal stories\, movement and soul-stirring music covering identity\, loss\, love and growth. \nCreated by Tami McCarthy (Actor\, Artistic Director\, Writer\, Producer)\, SPARK is a profound journey into the depths of the human experience inspired by Tami’s own life. The experience weaves together a chorus of unique and powerful voices as the women in the cast reveal true life-changing moments when divine intervention or instinct takes control\, leading them to a spark that nurtured their spirit and lit the path ahead. \nSPARK serves as a mirror\, highlighting how we are all connected as it prompts audience members to reflect on their own moments of self-discovery while celebrating the resiliency of the human spirit. At times deeply jarring\, but ultimately uplifting\, SPARK encourages viewers to confront the complexities of life and\, in doing so\, find a sense of euphoric liberation. Together\, we reveal the malleable nature and complexity of the human experience\, and share in a revelatory moment that we are not alone.\n \nCreated\, Written\, Produced by Tami McCarthy.

This task has been passed along to Adia; (1) Set Efeya’s ancestral dance prayers on dancers\, and (2) Complete the dance film she began. In 2022\, Adia Tamar Whitaker\, Renee Kimberly Smith (an Executive Leader\, Strategist\, Cultural Curator\, Efeya’s spiritual family\, and Research/Development Partner for both The Road to Ose Tura and Following the Road to Ose Tura)\, and Photographer/Cinematographer Ralston R. Smith were able to complete the 2nd section of The Road to Ose Tura dance film. \nFollowing the Road to Ose Tura | Adia Tamar Whitaker \nFollowing The Road to Ose Tura is the landing pad/container for Whitaker’s personal reflections while building her friend’s film\, and navigating her own grief. It is Whitaker’s journey to express her story and place it in conversation with Efeya’s story. It’s the story of Adia being diagnosed with a far less life-threatening cancer and having excellent health insurance while supporting the health needs of a friend and artist fighting to stay alive with standard health insurance. It’s the story of Adia still being here on earth\, still dancing with Efeya in their new relationship. It’s the story of listening and not being listened to. The story of how Adia and so many others are different because of Efeya’s life and transition. The story of visible invisible people … Black women …  POC … Artists … Undocumented essential workers … Elders … And many more weathering\, living\, and dying. It is the story of Adia finding healing and speaking her truth through fully realizing her friend’s work and her own. \nFollowing the Road to Ose Tura | The Premiere | San Francisco\, CA | 2024 | Following the Road to Ose Tura is a series of four different 25-minute-long ritual dance theater performances/ceremonies. Each day features a different 25-minute-long performance ritual. Each ritual will be repeated four times on the day it is performed. Each 25-minute performance ritual will happen in four different locations. Two of the performance ritual locations will be outside in two visible invisible spaces. Two performance ritual locations will be inside in two visible invisible spaces. The entire series of performances will happen over four days. Creative projections and/or screenings of Efeya’s dance film be featured on each performance ritual day. \nFollowing the Road to Ose Tura | The Tour | 2025 – 2027 | After the premiere\, the performance structure of Following the Road to Ose Tura will need to be modified and adjusted for the concert stage. The presenters listed below have expressed an interest and commitment to booking Following the Road to Ose Tura. In addition\, they have also expressed an interest and commitment to booking Adia as a lecturer and to teach master classes in Afro-Haitian dance\, Contemporary\, Vernacular\, and Dunham Technique-based movement to their graduate students\, undergraduate student university dance ensembles\, and community based youth ensembles. \n\n\n\n\nThis event is a 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.

SUMMARY:From Love II: Intimacy Through the Lens of Incarceration
DESCRIPTION:From Love II: Intimacy Through the Lens of Incarceration explores sex and sexuality through erotic art\, research based articles\, poetry\, paintings\, photos\, objects\, and ephemera\, created by currently incarcerated artists and their loved ones.  \n“Intimacy is a human right. The carceral system prohibits people from exercising that right\, a basic human need\, a salve. Healing is stolen from us.” JW \nThe exhibit exposes conditions that deny intimacy\, and highlights how intimacy is reclaimed\, maintained or lost. It sheds light on the struggle to sustain intimate relationships on the outside\, while serving time inside a system that denies people of basic human rights\, destroys families\, and is designed to break both body and spirit.  \nWith this in mind\, From Love II reminds us that fantasy\, pleasure\, sex\, and intimacy\, continue to serve as radical acts of resistance and liberation. Join us in the fight! \nPlease note\, this exhibition explores themes\, imagery\, and language that may be considered sensitive or provocative. Viewer discretion is advised\, as the content may include explicit or challenging subjects. We encourage thoughtful engagement and respectful dialogue as you experience the artwork presented.

SUMMARY:Everyone Has a Story to Tell! Storytelling Workshop with BAC Artist-in-Residence Kona Morris
DESCRIPTION:Everyone Has a Story to Tell! Storytelling Workshop\nwith BAC Artist-in-Residence Kona Morris\nDate & Time: Thursday\, September 26\, 7 – 8:30PM \nJoin writer and storyteller Kona Morris (The Moth\, RISK!) for a crafting workshop to generate story ideas and learn how to structure them for optimal audience engagement. Bring a notebook and your most vivid memories!   \nMore About The Workshop\nStorytelling is both unique and universal. Our stories are what make us stand out as individuals\, but also what allows us to relate and have empathy for one another. The desire to share our stories is in our DNA. For as long as our ancestors could speak\, they were telling each other stories—to entertain\, to share learned wisdoms\, and to process intense experiences. It is a medium like no other because it encompasses every person on the planet\, no matter their background\, field of study\, or walk of life.  \nIn this 90-minute workshop\, we will start with a “Story Mining” exercise that provides prompts to help you remember your most important stories. Then we will cover storytelling techniques and tools for structuring successful stories. We will talk about the importance of a strong ending\, and how to tailor it for your specific audience and purpose. You will leave this workshop with a list of your best stories—and with the inspiration and confidence to share them!   \nAbout Kona\nKona Morris is a writer\, storyteller\, and comedian. She has won The Moth StorySLAM in Los Angeles\, and she’s been featured on national podcasts such as RISK!\, Monkey Tooth\, and It’s Funny Now. Kona starred in Denver’s Live Drunk History Comedy Troupe\, and her short stories and articles have appeared in a variety of publications.  \nTo learn more about Kona: https://konamorris.com/  \nThis event is a Fall Multidisciplinary 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

SUMMARY:Art\, Intuition & Intention: Conversation and Co-Creation with BAC Artist-in-Residence Ziedah Diata
DESCRIPTION:Art\, Intuition & Intention: Conversation and Co-Creation\nwith BAC Artist-in-Residence Ziedah Diata\nDate & Time: Saturday\, September 28\, 2024 2 – 4PM \n“Art\, Intuition & Intention: Conversation and Co-Creation with Artist\, Ziedah Diata” is an artist talk and guided art-making experience. Ziedah will share her views on “participatory art” as a social connector and as an activator-amplifier of the inner voice. She will guide participants through movement\, breath and visualization exercises for waking up and sustaining natural\, accessible intuition. Participants will create a personal\, interactive art piece for working with intuition and intention-setting at home.   \nThis experience is designed and intended for cross-generational connection and creation. Youth\, elders and everyone in between are welcome. Recommended for participants age 8 and up.   \nAbout Ziedah\nZiedah Diata is a Brooklyn\, New York-based artist\, facilitator\, and attorney. Since 2011\, Ziedah has created participatory art experiences independently and in collaboration with cultural organizers\, teachers\, poets\, healers and playwrights. Her work is inspired\, in part\, by the recurring themes that emerged in testimony during her 15 year career as an administrative law judge: harm\, repair\, empathy and transformation. In 2023\, Ziedah left her role as Chief Administrative Law Judge for the New York State Department of State. She now explores these same themes through facilitated art-making and storytelling experiences. In 2023\, Ziedah launched Bed-Stuy Drawn Together\, an intergenerational art-making and story-sharing project\, in collaboration with Stoop Stories and the Annual Stoops Art Crawl. Ziedah is a 2024 Laundromat Project Create Change Fellow. In addition to creating communal experiences\, she also designs personal participatory art pieces for reflection\, intention-setting and play. \nThis event is a Fall Multidisciplinary 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

SUMMARY:Lost My Mind\, But I Think You Have It (WIP Showing) with BAC Artist-in-Residence Matthew Flatley
DESCRIPTION:Lost My Mind\, But I Think You Have It (WIP Showing)\nwith BAC Artist-in-Residence Matthew Flatley\nDate & Time: Thursday\, October 3\, 2024 2-3:30PM \nPlease join us for a studio showing and discussion of Matthew Flatley’s current work-in-progress ‘Lost My Mind\, But I Think You Have It’. Inspired by the common saying ‘one step forward\, two steps back’\, the piece examines the habit of repeating old patterns that prevent us from moving forward in life\, and physically explores the various ways a single impulse can move the body through space. Utilizing micro-movements and hyper-segmentation of conventional pathways\, the choreography aims to simultaneously appear both formal and fractured. After the showing\, there will be an open discussion between the choreographer and audience members.  \nAbout Matthew\nMatthew Flatley is a Brooklyn based choreographer and visual artist. In 2012\, he received his BFA in Dance from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts\, and performed with Brian Brooks Moving Company from 2013-2019. He was a cast member in Third Rail Project’s immersive shows ‘Then She Fell’ and ‘The Grand Paradise’\, as well as Christopher Williams’ dance-opera ‘A Wolf in Skins’. He has also performed works by Kate Weare\, Wally Cardona\, Seán Curran\, Sonya Tayeh\, Tyce Diorio\, and Deborah Jowitt. As a choreographer\, his work has been presented at The Museum of Art and Design\, TEMP Art Space\, Skirball Center for the Performing Arts\, Ailey Citigroup Theatre\, and the Salvatore Capezio Theatre. He also choreographed the music video ‘Renaissance Girls’ for recording artist\, Oh Land. Far from subtle\, he prefers to tackle societal norms and expectations with an in-your-face aggressiveness that blurs the line between obscene and refined.\n \nThis event is a Fall Multidisciplinary 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.

SUMMARY:Sip & Stitch with BAC Artist-in-Residence Dawn Bisio - Green Drinks @ Sing Sing Kill Brewery
DESCRIPTION:Green Drinks: “Sip & Stitch”\nwith BAC Artist-in-Residence Dawn Bisio\nDate & Time: Thursday\, October 24\, 2024 7-9PM\nLocation: Sing Sing Kill Brewery – 75 Spring Street\, Ossining\, NY 10562 \nRegister Here!  \nLearn Sashiko! Sashiko is a traditional Japanese embroidery technique used for repairing clothes and creating a unique style. In this hands-on workshop\, visual artist\, Dawn Bisio\, demonstrates how to patch a hole and two basic stitches: the running stitch and the cross stitch. All materials are included and you will complete the workshop with your very own patch to take home that you can use to decorate or repair a piece of clothing of your own! In partnership with Green Ossining and Sing Sing Kill Brewery.     \n*If you’d like to bring a piece of scrap fabric from home\, a loose weave cotton or linen is recommended.   \nAbout Dawn\nDawn Bisio is a Korean American painter and installation artist based in the Mohawk Valley of NY. She is best known for her colorful\, multi-layered acrylic abstract paintings and her contemplative mixed media installations. Her work also delves into printmaking\, gestural paintings\, encaustics\, and illuminated pieces in a range of scales and media. Aside from acrylic paint\, she preferences the use of fabric\, natural materials\, and found objects. While her paintings and other 2D works often begin loosely and spontaneously and develop in an improvisational fashion\, her installations are carefully thought-out pieces involving significant planning\, engineering\, and exploration of a specific theme\, such as identity\, the environment\, and women.  \nDuring her residency at BAC\, Dawn will be working on an installation\, called Threads of Tomorrow: Fashioning Sustainability. Clothing over-production and fast fashion cause enormous pollution from carbon emissions\, polluted water\, and overflowing landfills. As a self-proclaimed recovering clothes horse\, this installation is Dawn’s way of helping to protect our precious natural resources. Using all recycled fabrics/clothing as a canvas for this installation\, Dawn will have eight “paintings”- two rows of four paintings facing each other\, with a large sculpture of a coat with tails in forward motion in the middle\, as if it were an invisible figure running down the hall. Though the piece is about recycling textiles and protecting the environment\, it’s also about freedom; freedom for a brighter future and freedom of the mind to change and adapt.  \nFind Dawn:\nwww.dawnbisio.art \nInstagram: @dawnbisioart  \nThis event is a Fall Multidisciplinary Residency Community Program. As part of a residency at BAC\, we ask each artist to build and facilitate a Community Program.
