SUMMARY:An Evening of Music by BAC Artist-in-Residence Michelle Zarco - In Partnership with Musicambia
DESCRIPTION:An Evening of Music by Michelle Zarco\nwith BAC Artist-in-Residence Michelle Zarco\nIn partnership with Musicambia \nDate & Time: Monday\, October 5\, 2026 7PM\nFREE Community Program. 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. 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.

SUMMARY:Garage Hubub: An Interactive Open Studio with BAC Emerging Artist Fellow Catherine Liebowitz

Rain Date: 10/4\nRegistration not required. \nTo sculpt? To draw? To talk?

Their work focuses on the abstraction of fragments of human anatomy\, which result in forms that feel alive but no longer human.  \nCatherine has participated in a number of student shows as well as a group intern show at the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center in Vermont after spending last summer as one of their intern residents. Most recently they had a Certificate Graduation Exhibition at the New York Studio School of Drawing\, Painting\, and Sculpture\, and are now excited to see how this body of work will continue to develop from working with the diverse group of artists that the Bethany Arts Community contains.   \nThis Community Program is a part of BAC’s Emerging Artist Fellowship\, generously supported by The New York Community Trust. 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:Ecology of Us: A Community Conversation: Impact of Humans on Earth with Kristin Marting
DESCRIPTION:Ecology of Us: A Community Conversation: Impact of Humans on Earth\nwith BAC Artist-in-Residence Kristin Marting\nDate & Time: Wednesday September 30\, 7-9pm\nFREE Community Program. Registration encouraged. Walk-ins welcome until we reach capacity.  \nJoin BAC Artist-in-Residence Kristin Marting for a community conversation centered around the impact of humans on our earth and positive actions we can take towards sustainability.   \nKristin will read short excerpts from visionary writers Octavia Butler and Alan Weisman\, as well as an excerpt in progress from Quintessence\, her environmental speculative fiction opera.   \nKristin will then facilitate an “Open Space” format for our conversations — Open Space is a self-organizing\, participant-driven format in which attendees create the agenda together on a variety of topics in response to our central theme. As a participant\, you will be free to choose which conversation you join and move as desired between simultaneous conversations\, engaging with topics that resonate with you. We will re-gather as a group towards the end to share findings with the full group.   \nOur friends at Riverkeeper will join to share local issues affecting the Hudson River and provide resources for framing solutions. Riverkeeper protects and restores the Hudson River from source to sea and safeguards drinking water supplies\, through advocacy rooted in community partnerships\, science and law. ‌‍Learn more about Riverkeeper and their work here. ‌ ‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍  \nAbout Quintessence \nInspired by the speculative fiction of Octavia Butler and the environmental nonfiction writing of Alan Weisman\, Quintessence is a new environmental science fiction opera about othering\, nonconformity\, intolerance\, and community that Kristin is co-creating as librettist/director with composer Paul Pinto.   \nThe 90-minute multimedia opera tells the story of our dying planet in seven parts\, scored for an ensemble of seven singers\, four instrumentalists and electronics. Our earth is sick – it has been damaged beyond repair by our species. All humanity share an existential awareness of our fragility. There are too many of us\, but too few other species. Our earth is no longer able to produce anything naturally so food and drink are created through technology. One world government controls all resources\, which are distributed unevenly to haves and have-nots. As humans scramble to survive\, genetic modification has become a worldwide practice with almost no one unmodified. But the modifications induce unpredictable abilities. Ongoing human conflict is weakening our already ailing earth.  \nABOUT KRISTIN\nKristin Marting is an award winning director & creative producer based in NYC. She has constructed 38 world premieres (15 hybrid\, 10 opera/music-theatre\, 9 adaptations of novels & 5 classics). Selected premieres: BAM\, HERE\, Ohio Theatre\, Soho Rep. Selected touring: 7 Stages\, Berkshire Festival\, Brown\, MCA\, New World\, Painted Bride\, UMass\, Moscow Art Theatre\, Oslo. Selected workshops: Clubbed Thumb\, New Georges\, Playwrights Horizons\, Public Theatre\, Target Margin. Recipient of an OBie award for Lifetime Achievement and Proclamation from the NY State Assembly for steadfast leadership\, two prestigious MAP Fund awards\, a nytheatre.com Person of the Decade for outstanding contribution\, a Leader to Watch by Art Table\, and a BAX10 Award. She is the Founding Artistic Director Emeritus of HERE and co-founded/co-curated 12 editions of PROTOTYPE festival.  \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.

In May 2024\, she took part to a concert dedicated to the music of French living composer David Chaillou and in March 2025 she collaborated with American composer and soprano singer Stephanie Susberich who presented her song cycle based on the poetry of cuban Juana Borrero. In the meantime\, she has refined her studies in Piano\, Music theory and Composition\, obtaining a Music\ndegree from Hunter College in June 2024\, while taking part to several Masterclasses and Workshops\, including an intensive week in Composition at the Juilliard School in June 2023. Because of her international identity\, Brenda is presenting two distinct but nevertheless interconnected piano programs which aim at promoting American and Italian composers both in Europe and the\nUnited States; her goal is to popularize less known musicians such as Anna Bon\, Teresa Procaccini\, William Grant Still\, Florence Price\, Tania Leon (winner of the 2021 Pulitzer Price in Music and Kennedy Center Honoree) and many more\, including her own piano compositions.

SUMMARY:Work-In-Progress Showing: A Side Of The World For A Canvas with SLMDances 
DESCRIPTION:Work-In-Progress Showing: A Side Of The World For A Canvas \nBased on the work of Zora Neale Hurston\nwith SLMDances\nSaturday May 16\, 2026\, 2-4PM\nOpen to all ages \nWHAT TO EXPECT: \nJoin SLMDances for a public offering as the culmination of their Works & Process Residency at Bethany Arts Community for their new work in development\, A Side Of The World For A Canvas\, based on the work of Zora Neale Hurston.   \nThis informal sharing will include a performance of their work-in-progress developed during their residency week\, and invite participation and feedback from witnesses. Open to all ages.   \nThis program will be hosted outside with masking encouraged. In the case of inclement weather\, we will move inside\, and masks will be required for attendees. Please bring a mask of your own; we will have masks available onsite.  \nA SIDE OF THE WORLD FOR A CANVAS: \nThe primary focus of this residency is to develop A Side of the World For A Canvas through rehearsal\, dramaturgy\, embodied research\, collective practice\, and reflection. A Side Of The World For A Canvas is a site-responsive dance-theater work crafted to highlight Zora Neale Hurston’s legacy as a dance and theater maker\, a foremother of Black feminism\, and an artist whose work across media amplified the stories of everyday Black folks. The title is a quote drawn from her novel Their Eyes Were Watching God that describes the ease with which men could shoot the breeze and tell stories to one another crafting their own version of reality. In this work\, women and femmes assume this agency through story telling creating their own possibilities.  \nKey questions the artists will investigate include: How do we continue to honor Zora throughout the creative process? How does each place inform the performance work?  \nHow does ethnography live in this creative process and work?  \nSYDNIE L. MOSLEY \nSydnie L. Mosley is an award-winning choreographer and writer renowned for socially aware creative work with her collective SLMDances. Her repertoire including her critically acclaimed evening length dances PURPLE: A Ritual In Nine Spells (world premiere Lincoln Center 2023\, two-time Bessie nominated)\, The Window Sex Project\, and BodyBusiness—as well as their creative processes—are a model for dance-activism. She was one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch” in 2024 and recognized by former NYC Mayor de Blasio in 2017 for using dance to fuel social change. Sydnie was part of the Bessie Award-winning skeleton architecture\, the future of our worlds\, curated by Eva Yaa Asantewaa. In addition to her own work—which she has performed from Lincoln Center to the legendary Apollo Theater—she performed with Christal Brown’s INSPIRIT (2010-2013) and Brooklyn Ballet (2009-2019). She has been a visiting lecturer at Harvard University. Her writing has appeared in ESSENCE\, Dance Magazine\, and The Washington Post. SLMDances has danced across the US\, including the Brooklyn Museum\, Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State\, Dance Brigade (San Francisco)\, Dance Place (Washington DC)\, Joyce Soho\, Harlem Stage\, Judson Church\, and many more. She recently served as Assistant Choreographer for the first-ever full staging of Zora Neale Hurston’s Spunk presented by Yale Repertory Theatre\, a play that was lost to time until the Library of Congress uncovered the drama in 1997.  \nFind SLMDances: https://www.sydnielmosley.com/  \n—————   \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.

SUMMARY:Open Rehearsal & Open Conversation with Nubian Néné / A Lady In The House Dance  
DESCRIPTION:Open Rehearsal & Open Conversation\nwith Nubian Néné / A Lady In The House Dance \nSaturday May 9\, 2-3:30PM\n*Content Transparency: This program contains mature themes and topics. Parental discretion advised.*\n \nThe open rehearsal format allows the choreographer and dancers to simply exist in the space while audiences witness how the work is created. I invite viewers to keep an open mind\, not just observing rehearsal\, but also how we relate to one another.  \nThis cast of Black W*ackers/Punkers is here to express our contemporary movement within this culture. The conversation centers on sharing process and exchanging what the audience perceives\, understands\, or questions. This is not a performance.  \nWe invite you into our space of Punkness—to witness\, be inspired\, and see how W*acking/Punking has shaped us. We hope to encourage more Black bodies\, especially younger generations\, to find themselves in this practice.  \nWacking/Punking is activism: a tool against oppression\, and a force of resistance. Dare to Wack. Dare to fight back. Dare to be a Punk. Dare to protect one another.  \nThis event is open to all\, and we intentionally invite Black bodies to be present —Queer\, Cis\, Women\, Men\, Trans\, teenagers\, and multiple generations. This is not exclusionary\, but about being both the representation and the represented.    \nhttps://bethanyarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Black-Waackers-Promo-BAC.mp4\n  \nInitial Ideation [circa 2024]\nW*acking/Punking\, an American social justice dance form\, emerged in the gay clubs of Los Angeles during the disco era and was predominantly expressed by Black bodies. The DJ Michelangelo\, a central force in its formation\, cultivated it as something shared among those who needed it—never for sale. Today\, the erasure of Black bodies within this dance form is both flagrant and violent. Its global evolution has created space for expression\, visibility\, and livelihood elsewhere—opportunities that remain largely unseen and under-supported in the United States.  \nWith this work\, I’m interested in exploring how different Black bodies connect with W*acking—what it means to us now\, more than 40 years after its inception. I ask: what is the Queer\, Black\, American evolution of this movement today? How can this dance form help us confront the challenges we face as Black Queer bodies? How do we reclaim its power and have it recognized and celebrated on American soil?  \nAt its core\, this work is about visibility—centering Black bodies\, and in particular Black Queer bodies\, while holding space for Black women and non-queer Black bodies whose contributions and presence remain essential. It is about how we use W*acking to express\, to take up space\, and to empower. There is also an opportunity to reach both teens and adults—to use this movement as a force against prejudice\, queerphobia\, racism\, and more.  \nThrough dance and conversation\, this work unfolds in three parts: a performance\, a film\, and a graphic novel. At its center is the question: what happens when W*ackers and Punkers are imagined as super-humans? What are the superpowers we carry that allow us to express\, activate\, and empower? And how can this dance form support us in meeting the challenges of the present moment?  \nPresent Day Flow [circa April 2026]\nNow that the residency process has begun\, the exploration is taking shape through the imagining of W*ackers and Punkers as super-humans.  \nThe quest: to find personal and collective freedom. To build an army of Black W*ackers and Punkers. To examine our specific strengths—how they have been used\, misused\, or exploited—and how they can live fully in our expression of W*acking/Punking. What defines our personal and collective arsenal of superpowers within this culture?  \nTheir powers emerge from the elements of our culture. Poses and stances become sites of protection\, confidence\, and armor. We are Punking our way through—digging deeper to understand what we give to the culture\, and what it has given to us.  \nWe invoke our ancestors in the way we walk; the vibration of our weight meeting the earth. A return to self unfolds through 360-degree motion: spinning\, turning\, pivoting\, pirouetting. The W*acks call us to strike with force\, these are our weapons\, a vital part of our arsenal.  \nThe villain remains uncertain. Is it erasure? Internalized belief—buying into the hype? Is it the tension of yin and yang\, or the imbalance between them? Can a world of super-humans\, of super W*ackers and super Punkers\, exist without a villain\, or is oppression an ever-present force we must continually name and resist?  \nAlongside this\, we are developing a film with filmmaker Kristina Moorer\, and envisioning a graphic novel as a lookbook\, featuring Punkers posed in bold\, fashionably outrageous forms.  \nThis is the flow we stepped into just days ago. By the time we arrive at Bethany in May\, more questions will emerge; some answered\, some abandoned\, some tested\, failed\, or held for another time.  \n——–  \nThis event is an Artist Residency Community Program.

For too long\, we have viewed history with eyes wide shut\, omitting the presence\, contributions\, experiences\, afflictions\, and injustices suffered by African Americans in our shared history. \nThis exhibit signifies a pivotal moment where we commit to observing black history with eyes wide open\, fully acknowledging and embracing the realities experienced by African Americans in our community\, state\, and country. This commitment includes each one of us\, making us all responsible for understanding and respecting the history of African Americans. We honor their contributions\, resilience\, and legacies that have the power to inspire\, educate\, and enrich our understanding of topics ranging from the enduring fight for civil rights and advances in medicine to culinary influences. \nThis exhibit is not just a display\, but a powerful educational tool. As an African proverb wisely states\, “Until the lions have their historians\, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunter.” Let this powerful message inspire and motivate us. It is time for the lion to speak. \n5th installment of this award-winning exhibit at BAC will open on February 1\, 2025 and will be on display through March 14\, 2025. The exhibition will utilize oral history accounts and genealogical research to unearth the histories of the Black experience from all facets of life. Curated by Ossining Village Historian\, Joyce Sharrock Cole. \nLearn more about the exhibit here!
