SUMMARY:Artist in Residence: Sandra Jackson-Opoku Black Rice: A Sino-Black Diaspora Presentation & Reading
DESCRIPTION:Sinologist\, Keisha Brown originated the term “Sino-Black relations” to describe historical connections between China and people of African descent. This presentation will explore some of the global contact zones and cultural experiences where China and Africa have intersected. This slide presentation will be followed by a reading from the novel-in-progress\, Black Rice and a brief Q&A session. \nThis event is for Ossiing High School Black Culture Club & Human Rights Club \nResidency Plan:\nBLACK RICE is a historical novel exploring centuries-old connections between China and people of African descent. In this family saga sprawling across five novella-length chapters\, a chorus of voices speak in the dramatic\, interior\, and epistolary monologue as the narrators tell their life stories aloud\, in thought\, or in writing. These encounters begin with an East African woman sold into concubinage in Ming Dynasty Guangzhou. A Cantonese descendant is later transported to Cuba in the 19th-century “coolie” trade to the Americas\, where he meets and marries an African-American woman. Additional generations flow from this descent: a boxer\, a blues singer\, and a descendant teaching in modern China. I will use a Bethany Arts residency to incorporate research findings and polish final revisions to prepare Black Rice for submission. \nBio:\nSandra Jackson-Opoku is the author of the award-winning novel\, The River Where Blood is Born and Hot Johnny (and the Women Whom Loved Him)\, an Essence Magazine Bestseller in Hardcover Fiction. She also co-edited the anthology\, Revise the Psalm: Work Celebrating the Writing of Gwendolyn Brooks. Her fiction\, nonfiction\, poetry\, and dramatic works are widely published and produced\, appearing in such outlets as Secrets\, An Oddsized Coffin\, eMerge Magazine\, Both Sides: Stories from the Border\, the Anthology of Appalachian Heritage\, storySouth\, Another Chicago Magazine\, New Daughters of Africa\, Ms. Magazine\, Ocotillo Review\, Obsidian\, the Chicago Humanities Festival\, Lifeline Theatre\, and many others. \nProfessional recognition includes a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship\, the General Electric-Coordinating Council of Literary Magazines Award for Younger Writers\, an American Library Association Black Caucus Award for Fiction\, Ragdale Foundation US/Africa Writers Fellowship\, a William Randolph Hearst Research Visiting Fellowship at the American Antiquarian Society\, a listing in Newcity Lit50: Who Really Books in Chicago\, and an inaugural Esteemed Literary Artist Award from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events. Her work has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize in Fiction. \nJackson-Opoku has been a resident fellow at many national and international arts communities. She teaches literature and writing at workshops\, conferences\, colleges\, and universities across the country and around the world. \n Image: © Zeng Xianfang from the Little North Road project by Daniel Traub. \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: L Feldman M13: Excerpt Sharing and Talkback
DESCRIPTION:L M Feldman will share excerpts and questions from her audacious – and timely – play-in-progress\, THE MERCURY 13 GUIDE TO GETTING OFF THE GROUND. An epic and muscular theatrical shakedown\, THE MERCURY 13 intertwines historical events\, imagined scenes\, fantastical moments\, physical feats\, and text plucked straight from the Congressional archive\, to unearth the story of thirteen female pilots who might have\, if the world had followed a different path\, been among our earliest astronauts. It asks: what does it take (as a woman\, a person of color\, a queer\, a disadvantaged citizen\, a human being) to get off the ground in this country? Even still. Join L as she shares new work and invites questions & answers\, thoughts & curiosities.  \nREGISTER\nResidency Plan: \nOver the last two years\, I’ve been writing a beast of a play called THE MERCURY 13 GUIDE TO GETTING OFF THE GROUND. It’s about 13 accomplished female pilots who in 1961 were being selected and tested as astronaut candidates… until NASA and the government suddenly squelched the program. And so – in the height of the Space Race\, the Cold War\, and the Civil Rights Movement – a Congressional Hearing was called to determine whether the U.S. should include women as astronauts… which suddenly pitted social progress against technological speed. Congress chose technological speed\, and promised to close the opportunity gap in time. The play braids together historical events\, imagined scenes\, fantastical moments\, physical feats\, and text plucked straight from the Congressional archive – as it follows these 13 female pilots\, who sacrifice nearly everything for an opportunity that seems within their grasp. At BAC\, I’ll finally get to dive into the significant rewrites I want to do on this play\, and to emerge with a comprehensive new draft that’s workshop-ready for actors.  \nBio:\nL M Feldman is a queer\, GNC\, feminist playwright who writes theatrically adventurous\, physically evocative\, intimate\, inquisitive\, ensemble-driven plays. Plays that are dynamic\, honest\, brave\, and the smallest bit impossible. Plays that transcend into an experience.   \nSo far\, her body of work includes THRIVE\, OR WHAT YOU WILL [AN EPIC] ~ THE MERCURY 13 GUIDE TO GETTING OFF THE GROUND ~ ANOTHER KIND OF SILENCE ~ SCRIBE\, OR THE SISTERS MILTON\, OR ELEGY FOR THE UNWRITTEN ~ THE EGG-LAYERS ~ GRACE\, OR THE ART OF CLIMBING ~ A PEOPLE [A MOSAIC PLAY] ~ TROPICAL SECRETS\, OR ALL THE FLUTES IN THE SEA ~ and 7 full-length ensemble-devised works.  \nL has been nominated for the Wendy Wasserstein Prize\, Stavis Playwright Award\, New York Innovative Theatre Award\, Doric Wilson Independent Playwright Award\, and twice for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. And she’s ongoingly grateful to have been a fellow at MacDowell\, the Playwrights Realm\, and the Dramatists Guild\, and a core writer with InterAct Theatre\, Orbiter 3\, and (currently) The Playwrights’ Center.   \nAn alum of the Yale School of Drama and the New England Center for Circus Arts\, L is also a contemporary circus artist. She has performed duo trapeze at festivals around the world\, and has dramaturged works of circus-theater for ensembles around the country. She loves theater that moves\, and circus that tells stories.   \nL has lived in seven cities and is now based in Philadelphia\, where she teaches both playwriting and circus\, writes and devises plays\, and trains handstands.  \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:WHEN ARTISTS SHOUT: Social and Political Commentary in Western Art - A Lecture by Marcy B. Freedman
DESCRIPTION:Join us Wednesday\, June 8\, 2022 for light refreshments at 6:30pm and Lecture by Marcy B. Freedman at 7pm \nREGISTER\nFor centuries\, art has been used for a multitude of purposes\, often serving the needs of powerful religious and political institutions.  But it has also been used to express the thoughts and feelings of artists who wish to speak out against the injustices that they have witnessed or experienced. \nIn this lecture\, Marcy B. Freedman will focus upon some of the many artists who have addressed their opposition to war\, gender inequality\, and racism.  She will share images dating from antiquity to the 19th century\, in order to set the stage for the revolutionary work of Goya.  From there\, she will proceed into the 20th and 21st centuries\, highlighting the work of artists who are not content to “paint pretty pictures.”  Among the artists to be discussed are Max Beckmann\, Kathe Kollwitz\, Judy Chicago\, Barbara Kruger\, The Guerilla Girls\, David Hammons\, and Kara Walker.  For these brave and talented individuals\, art is a powerful tool\, and they wield it with conviction. \nMarcy B. Freedman is an artist and art historian.  Her academic background includes an undergraduate degree from the University of California\, Berkeley\, a master’s degree from the University of Michigan\, and master’s degree from Princeton University. \nAs an art historian\, Freedman has taught in colleges and universities\, given public lectures\, and curated exhibitions. As an artist\, she has worked with a wide range of mediums\, from painting\, drawing\, and collage to photography\, video\, and performance art.  Her works have been shown in more than 400 exhibitions\, and she has performed extensively in the tri-state area.  For decades\, Freedman explored the realms of abstraction and conceptual art.  However\, since 2016\, she has focused upon social and political issues\, addressing these topics in her solo work and in her collaborations with other artists.

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence: Lindy Fines - GREYZONE Work-In-Progress Showing and Talkback
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nChoreographer Lindy Fines\, and her company GREYZONE\, will take you inside the creative process for a new duet-in-progress that they have been developing at BAC. After performing the duet\, Lindy and the dancers will then demonstrate aspects of the choreographic systems used to create the work. With the same methodology utilized in their rehearsals\, they will build a dance phrase live in front of the audience. Employing chance-based procedures\, with an opportunity for the audience to make contributions\, they will use this as a starting place to build the phrase. The viewers will have the opportunity to witness each dancer bringing their initial instincts for how to physically enact the prompts. As the phrase develops\, Lindy will make various adjustments and shape the material. After this glimpse into the creative process\, there will be a talkback with the audience in which they can ask questions and give feedback on the work \nName of Artist: Lindy Fines\nDates of Residency: May 2 – May 15 \nResidency Plan:\nChoreographer Lindy Fines will be developing a new duet for her dance project GREYZONE. Continuing GREYZONE’s years-long investigation into the power of inherited traditions and the creation of self within community\, this duet will explore the possibility of personal transformation when we enter into a collaboratively constructed\, supportive\, and vulnerable relationship with another person. During their time at BAC\, the dancers and Lindy will generate initial phrases through guided movement challenges. As they will be using their own dance histories as a pathway into the metaphor of lineage\, many of these guided movement challenges will highlight the effort behind classical Western dance positions and break up the formal body pathways ingrained in classical training. \nBio:\nLindy Fines is the choreographer and artistic director of GREYZONE\, a NYC-based multimedia dance project that she co-founded with creative director Justin Fines. Melding deconstructed ballet and modern dance vocabularies\, visual arts\, and time-based media\, GREYZONE’s works for film and stage uncover non-narrative theatricality and highlight the ritual of performance. In 2021\, Lindy was a GALLIM Moving Women Artist-in-Residence\, and in 2019 GREYZONE was a NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellow in Choreography through the The New York Foundation for the Arts. \nThe Oklahoma International Dance Festival presented GREYZONE’s premiere of ASSEMBLY in August 2021 (Inaugural Artist-in-Residence\, University of Central Oklahoma). Featuring music by Sivan Jacobovitz and costumes by Victoria Yee Howe and House of 950\, ASSEMBLY was supported by The Harkness Foundation for Dance\, New Music USA\, and a Foundation for Contemporary Arts (FCA) Emergency Grant. \nGREYZONE’s collaborations include dance film RIFT (92Y)\, dance film PENUMBRA with composer Steve Hauschildt (Nevada Museum of Art; 17 screenings worldwide)\, BLOOM (APAP\, City Center Studios; University Settlement)\, DRIFT with visual artist Maia Ruth Lee (Abrons Arts Center)\, MATTER CHANGES HANDS (Movement Research at the Judson Church\, Brooklyn Ballet) dance film QUEENS DUETS (5 screenings worldwide)\, and VEHICLE with illustrator Mike Perry. GREYZONE has been in residence at The Croft (MI)\, Socrates Sculpture Park (Queens\, NY)\, and New Dance Alliance\, and was supported by a 2020 FCA Emergency Grant (COVID-19 Fund) and a 2016 FCA Emergency Grant to premiere DRIFT. Lindy earned a BFA from the University of Oklahoma and trained on scholarship at the Merce Cunningham Dance Studio.

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence: Orlando Jacinto Garcia - Social Commentary and Recent Music
DESCRIPTION:Orlando Jacinto Garcia will be presenting a discussion on how composers over the past 50 years have approached social and political themes in their work from very abstract approaches to the more literal and concrete. The presentation will reference a selection of works from composers such as Fredric Rzewski\, Louis Andriessen\, Raven Chacon\, Anthony Davis\, Hans Werner Henze\, Tania Leon\, Meredith Monk\, Luigi Nono\, Pauline Oliveros\, Alvin Singleton\, among others as well as my works including the work that I will be creating at Bethany Arts. The focus of the talk will be the differences between literal and more abstract approaches as well as event specific vs more general works/text/references. \nREGISTER\nName of Artist: Orlando Garcia\nDates of Residency: May 2 – May 15 \nResidency Plan:\nThe Spain based Nuevo Ensemble de Segovia has commissioned a work for premiere as part of the celebration of the ensemble’s 25 years in existence. The performance is scheduled to take place as part of the City of Madrid Music Festival (COMA) in the fall of 2022. I have had the pleasure of writing two works for the ensemble in the past both created at artist residencies (MacDowell and Sirius in Ireland) and am very excited to be doing the new work at Bethany Arts. The work will once again explore the ensemble’s vast timbral palette and technical proficiency but this time adding an abstract narrative to the work. This abstract narrative will be an allusion to the social injustices in existence around the world and will be realized by having the ensemble members recite a text in Spanish to be created by me. This approach is a continuation of several works in my catalog that are abstract commentaries on oppression\, most recently a work commissioned by the New York City based Ensemble Pi. \n Bio:\nThrough more than 200 works composed for a wide range of performance genres including interdisciplinary\, site specific\, and works with and without electronics for orchestra\, choir\, soloists\, and a variety of chamber ensembles\, Orlando Jacinto Garcia has established himself as an important figure in the new music world. The distinctive character of his music has often been described as “time suspended- haunting sonic explorations” qualities he developed from his studies with Morton Feldman among others. \nBorn in Havana\, Cuba in 1954\, Garcia migrated to the United States in 1961. In demand as a guest composer\, he is the recipient of numerous honors and awards from a variety of organizations and institutions including the Rockefeller\, Fulbright\, Knight\, Civitella\, Bogliasco\, and Cintas Foundations\, the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, State of Florida\, MacDowell and Millay Colony\, and the Ariel\, Noise International\, Matiz Rangel\, Nuevas Resonancias\, Salvatore Martirano\, and Bloch International Competitions. Most recently he has been the recipient of 5 Latin Grammy nominations in the Best Contemporary Classical Composition Category (2009-11\, 2015\, 2021). With performances around the world at important venues by distinguished performers\, his works are recorded on New Albion\, O.O. Discs\, CRI /New World\, Albany\, North/South\, CRS\, Rugginenti\, VDM\, Capstone\, Innova\, CNMAS\, Opus One\, Telos\, Toccata Classics\, and Metier/Divine Art. \nGarcia is the founder and director of the NODUS Ensemble\, the Miami Chapter of the International Society for Contemporary Music\, the New Music Miami ISCM Festival\, and is a resident composer for the Miami Symphony. A dedicated educator\, he is Distinguished University Professor and Composer in Residence for the School of Music at Florida International University. \n\n\n\n\nWith thanks and acknowledgment:\nPrograms at Bethany Arts Community are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, Arts Westchester\, and numerous individual donors.

DESCRIPTION:Listen… Can You Hear Me Now?\nA CODA Tale \nREGISTER \nDuring this public reading Gloria will be sharing selections from Listen…Can You Hear Me Now?\, her personal memoir-in-progress of being a hearing child raised in the Deaf community. Afterwards she will take us through the ongoing process of transforming her award winning solo show  into book form\, and how this years’ long journey has been life changing and challenging for her and eye opening for those touched by this work. A talk back will follow with the audience where she will welcome any and all questions that arise about either the material or the process. \nName of Artist: Gloria Rosen\nDates of Residency: May 2 – May 15 \nResidency Plan:\nGloria Rosen is an actor/playwright. Her solo show\, Listen…Can You Hear Me Now?\, is an autobiographical account of a hearing child raised within the Deaf community. It is by its theatrical nature an outline\, a glimpse into a totally different world completely unknown to most hearing people with no connection to the Deaf. More than that\, this is the Coda’s (Child of Deaf Adults) world which is in-between the separate worlds of Deaf and hearing\, never quite belonging to either. It is ultimately a story about communication\, about a common language that connects heart and mind\, and its vital impact on both family and community. It is time now to create a literary format for this tale that will be able to embrace additional material not suited for stage but of crucial importance to the understanding of this story. The goal of this book is to create a work that will help bridge that gap and draw the worlds of Deaf\, Coda and hearing closer together in understanding and love and harmony. \nBio:\nGloria Rosen is an award winning playwright/performer.  Her autobiographical solo show “Listen…Can You Hear Me Now?” is a personal recollection of being a hearing child of deaf parents. The show was  part of the Marsh Theater Solo Arts Heals program; The Rochester Fringe Festival and the Marsh International Solo Festival. “Listen’s…” International debut was at the Campus St Jean\, Alberta Canada and was honored to perform at St. Ann’s Church for the Deaf in NY(the first church for the Deaf in the United States); and enjoyed a sold-out run at the United Solo Theatre Festival in NY where it was  awarded Best Autobiographical Script. She recently shared her Coda story with the ASL Interpreter Training class at the Emerald Campus of Dublin City schools in Ohio.The goal and ongoing vision of “Listen…Can You Hear Me Now?” has been to help bring the Deaf\, Coda and hearing worlds closer together in an alliance of mutual trust and understanding and love.

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence: Andrea Strongwater - Lost Synagogues of Europe
DESCRIPTION:A discussion and Q&A on European synagogues destroyed by the Nazis. Discussion of how Andrea got into the work and how she does it. Additionally\, she will share details of several synagogues and the communities that built them. \nREGISTER\nName of Artist: Andrea Strongwater\nDates of Residency: May 2 – May 15 \nResidency Plan:\nAndrea Strongwater has been working on a collection of paintings showing European synagogues at their best. The synagogues and their communities were all destroyed by the Nazis and related parties before and during WWII. The project wants to be a book. Andrea is now writing the text – 600-1000 words describing each community. The work will be published by Jewish Publication Society in conjunction with University of Nebraska Press. She will use her residency time to edit texts\, write an introductory essay\, and organize new lectures. The 83 synagogues Andrea has painted are in 15 different countries going by today’s political divisions. Andrea would like to create a lecture that explains more about Ukraine and how it fits into the world. If there is time\, she’d also like to paint a new synagogue image. \nBio:\nAndrea Strongwater has been an artist all her life. She lives in Manhattan\, New York. Her work can be seen in galleries\, museums\, and shops around the world. In the past few years Andrea has focused on creating exceptional art for books. Her first published work\, a young adult overview of the Lost Synagogues of Europe won two independent book publisher’s awards. A fuller edition of the project including 80 synagogues is in the works. \nAndrea’s work is very diverse and includes artwork for gift items\, teaching manuals for women in Afghanistan\, jigsaw puzzles\, lectures and exhibits of her big project documenting synagogues across Europe destroyed during the Third Reich. In all the overriding philosophy is making something meaningful and beautiful. \n\n\n\n\nWith thanks and acknowledgment:\nPrograms at Bethany Arts Community are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, Arts Westchester\, and numerous individual donors.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Art\, Social Activism\, and Restorative Justice\, a virtual conversation with Jo Kreiter\, Flyaway Productions
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time: March 10 at 7pm\nFee: Free\nRegistration Required: Zoom Webinar\nREGISTER \nJo Kreiter is a nationally recognized choreographer and site artist with a background in political science. She makes large scale public art via apparatus-based dance. She engages physical innovation and the political conflicts we live within. Her work democratizes public space. Jo has spent 25 years building coalitions with women marginalized by race\, class\, gender\, and workplace inequities. Noted partners include Essie Justice Group\, UC Hastings Center for Work-life Law\, Tenderloin Museum\, Code Tenderloin\, Au Co Vietnamese Cultural Center\, and Tradeswomen Inc. Jo joins us in advance of her April research residency and her October presentation of “The Apparatus of Repair”; the culminating work of her Decarceration Trilogy. \nPhoto: Chairs by RJ Muna pictured MaryStarr Hope \nAs part of BAC’s Season of Justice\, Jo Kreiter joins us in April and October to develop and present “Apparatus of Repair”\, the culminating work in her Decarceration Series. \nREPAIR brings focus to the concept of restorative justice and is grounded in the experiences of people who have been harmed or caused harm. A restorative justice process operates from a belief that the path to justice lies in problem solving and healing rather than punitive isolation. The project is deeply personal and challenges creator Jo Kreiter to expose her own vulnerability\, as she is a woman with an incarcerated loved one. REPAIR transforms the intimate healing process of restorative justice into an outdoor public performance\, danced in the air on the facade of BAC. \nFlyaway Productions Videos \nBio:\nFlyaway Productions democratizes public space. We make dances in unlikely places\, activating the sides of buildings above bleak city streets. Our site-specific dances impact neighborhoods because they unfold at the very place where conflict lives. For us\, a building is a witness. It holds the complexity of a neighborhood’s history in its “hands\,” I-beams\, or concrete walls. Flyaway’s tools include coalition building\, an intersectional feminist lens\, and a body-based push against the constraints of gravity. \nFounded by Jo Kreiter in 1996\, Flyaway Productions mission supports the integration of experimental forms with political content; the support of women and gender expansive artists\, where women’s voices remain an underserved element of public culture; and the use of spectacle/flight/suspended apparatus to expand choreographic language. Recent coalition partners include the Museum of African Diaspora\, Prison Renaissance\, Essie Justice Group\, Local 2\, Bend the Arc Jewish Action\, Community Works and UC Hastings College of the Law. \nWe have been supported by Guggenheim and Rauschenberg Foundation fellowships\, NEFA’s National Dance Project\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, Center for Cultural Innovation\, New Music USA\, The Gerbode Foundation\, MAP\, the Creative Work Fund\, the Wattis\, Kenneth Rainin and Miranda Lux Foundations\, CA Arts Council\, Grants for the Arts and the SF Arts Commission and have received seven IZZY awards from the SF dance community.  The SF Bay Guardian describes Flyaway as makers of “art at the heart of the democratic ideal.” \nAbout the Decarceration Series: From 2017-2023\, Flyaway is creating The Decarceration Trilogy: Dismantling the Prison Industrial Complex One Dance at a Time. The Decarceration Trilogy is part of a national wave of ongoing political action to expose the devastating effects of prison on American citizens.  It draws together political denunciation and a spectacular physical language across a series of large scale\, site-specific dances. The Trilogy is rooted in collaboration with community organizations and people directly impacted by incarceration.  The project is a deeply personal and challenges Artistic Director Jo to expose her own vulnerability\, as she is a woman with an incarcerated loved one. \nRESIDENCY ARTISTS\nJo Kreiter\nMegan Lowe\nJhia Jackson\nSaharla Vetch\nSonshere Giles\nMaryStarr Hope\nMaddy MADlines Clifford \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 New York State Legislature\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, Arts Westchester\, and numerous individual donors.

SUMMARY:Performance and Talk: Got My Wings\, Original score by Dan Blake and Choreography by Todd Hall
DESCRIPTION:Join us Jan 22 @ 4pm for Got My Wings\, a dance triptych exploring the metaphor of light\, freedom\, and hope. Original score by Dan Blake and Choreography by Todd Hall. This talk and performance will be virtual.\nREGISTER FOR WEBINAR\nView Program: GOT MY WINGS PROGRAM \nThis event begins with a talk by Daniel Blake and special guests to learn more about Jarvis Jay Masters’ story\, the prison reform movement\, and prison advocacy happening around Westchester\, with a focus on how creative art\, education\, and spiritual mentorship can make a pivotal difference in the lives of incarcerated people. “Where do we find our freedom?” This question is a wake-up call posed by Jarvis Jay Masters\, a Buddhist practitioner who has been incarcerated and on death row in San Quentin\, CA for over four decades for a crime he did not commit (read more at www.freejarvis.org). As part of Bethany Arts Community’s 2022 “Season of Justice”\, Got My Wings is a new triptych by composer and saxophonist Dan Blake in collaboration with ballet choreographer Todd Hall. In bringing together distinct movement traditions and a diverse range of musical styles\, Got My Wings reimagines Masters’ question through the metaphor of flight. The work will include immersive soundscapes performed live by the composer\, and will also feature performances by members of the Westchester Ballet Company. This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program\, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by ArtsWestchester. \nPre-Show Talk: Voices Come Out – What Can We Bring In?\nThe pre-show talk begins with the voice of Jarvis Jay Masters\, the inspiration for Got My Wings  who through a conversation recorded especially for this performance will share some hard-won insights from decades spent at San Quentin Correctional Facility\, as well as a little about the campaign to win his exoneration. Jarvis Jay Masters demonstrates how creative art\, education\, and spiritual mentorship can make a pivotal difference in the lives of incarcerated people. Got My Wings is dedicated to his spiritual fortitude\, and commitment to helping others to find freedom wherever it can be found. \nGot My Wings Promo Video: https://youtu.be/XrX-M6DC-1o\nJarvis Jay Masters interview: https://soundcloud.com/danblake/jarvis-jay-masters-interviewed-by-daniel-blake \nTheme: 2022 Season of Justice

SUMMARY:Consent Live with Artist in Residence Andre Veloux
DESCRIPTION:Participants form a group open to collaborating on the theme of artistic representation and discussion around consent. Participants will be asked to work in a consensual way to build an artwork from Lego bricks and then discuss issues around the topic of sexuality and consent. Those who would like to contribute to the project are also asked to find 2-5 images or drawings that they have identified as opening the debate on this topic\, along with some questions they would like to pose to accompany those image. \nREGISTER HERE\nThis event is being held in-person at Bethany Arts Community.

Please read our Covid-19 Safety Statement before your visit. \n\n\n\n\nBio\nAndre Veloux’s artworks explore gender\, women’s rights and consent issues using the medium of Lego bricks. Andre values live settings for audiences to interact intimately with each other and his artwork. His “Pause” collaboration with Princeton University took place in February 2019 and student campuses remain a target audience for Andre going forward. \nAndre’s works include 2-dimensional striated and soft-palette imagery with subtle messaging\, alongside 3-dimensional portrait works and series such as “Freedom Without Judgment”. The latter references pop art\, depicting bold images built from pixels and leverages the 3-dimensional opportunity coming from his medium. These bold images comment on beauty\, fashion choices\, and societal pressures inflicted on young women. Another theme which Andre calls “Anti-portraits” depicts a series of female figures showing their backs\, emphasizing their vulnerability to ‘the male gaze’. \nAndre has shown at SCOPE Miami\, is represented at Krause Gallery\, New York\, New York since 2016\, and Parlor Gallery in New Jersey since being chosen by Jonathan Levine for their 2014 Juried Show.

SUMMARY:Poetry Reading & Talk: An Interpretation of the Real: Poetry & Photography
DESCRIPTION:Poetry Reading & Talk: An Interpretation of the Real: Poetry & Photography\nRegister for Webinar\nApril 18th from 1:00pm – 2:30pm \n\n“Photography is the art of the image while the work of many poems is to render images from the raw material of language. Both forms can also seek to find the essence of a person\, place\, object\, or experience through mimesis and distillation. In this session\, Griffiths and Jackson\, who are both practicing poets and photographers\, will discuss the intersection of these two artforms—how they speak to one another\, how they work against one another\, how they veer away from one another. They will also discuss their approach to each form as well as their poetic and photographic influences. Following a 30-40 minute conversation moderated by poet Iain Haley Pollock and photographer David Flores\, Griffiths and Jackson will each spend 20 minutes each reading their poems and presenting their photographs. After these presentations\, the audience will have a chance to ask questions of Griffiths and Jackson. ” \nArtist Bios:\nRachel Eliza Griffiths\nRachel Eliza Griffiths is a poet\, visual artist\, and novelist. Her hybrid collection of poetry and photography\, Seeing the Body (W.W. Norton)\, was published in 2020.

As a visual artist\, Griffiths is the creator of Poets on Poetry (P.O.P)\, an intimate series of interviews\, which gathers more than fifty contemporary poets together in conversation to discuss poetry in relation to individual human experience and culture. Her forthcoming debut novel\, Promise\, will be published by Random House. She lives in New York City.  \nMarcus Jackson\nMarcus Jackson is a widely published photographer and writer who holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from New York University. Marcus specializes in portraiture shot on location with mostly natural or available light. His photographs capture the organic beauty and complexity of people and places.
