SUMMARY:The Women's Perspective: A Close Look at Women Artists
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nSaturdays – 9/24 – 10/29 (10am – 11am)  \nWomen have been making art since the dawn of time. Yet their work\, when compared to that of their male counterparts\, has been often overlooked and remains undervalued. \nIn this six-week online course\, we’ll examine the contributions of women to the history of art\, focusing on their unique perspectives and the ways in which they re-envisioned their roles as artists. \nIn addition to the more famous females we know— Artemisia\, Morisot\, Cassatt\, O’Keeffe\, Kahlo\, Krasner and the like—we will also look at women artists who are still often under-represented in scholarship. Hilma af Klint\, Caterina van Hemessen\, Marie-Gabrielle Capet\, Harriet Powers and Janet Sobel are just a few of the many\, many amazing artists we’ll visit on this exciting journey!

SUMMARY:Got My Wings Workshop with OUFSD
DESCRIPTION:Title:  Got My Wings Workshop with OUFSD (this is for students only)\nDate(s) and Time(s): October 24 and 26\nDescription:\nMusic by Daniel Blake\nChoreography by Todd Hall and Tomiko Magario\nFeaturing Westchester Ballet Company  \n“Where do we find our freedom?” This question is a wake-up call posed by author and Buddhist practitioner Jarvis Jay Masters\, who has been incarcerated and on death row in San Quentin\, CA for over three decades for a crime he did not commit (read more at www.freejarvis.org). His 2008 memoir derives its title from the story of a bird perched on the wall of San Quentin\, about which Mr. Masters remarks “That Bird Has My Wings!”. The metaphor of flight Masters evokes points to a freedom that is both corporeal and spiritual that is the primary inspiration for Got My Wings. Premiered on January 22\, 2022 at Bethany Arts Community’s Season of Justice by Westchester Ballet Company\, Got My Wings reimagines the theme of flight-as-freedom through a triptych of sound and movement. The work also stays grounded through the voice of Jarvis Jay Masters\, who was interviewed especially for this work.  \nThe student program that emerged out of this work takes inspiration from Masters’ life and writings to explore how art and creativity can help students to envision a more caring and compassionate society.  \nThis program will be presented on October 24 and 26 at Bethany Arts Community. The workshop is planned as an off-site field trip so that students can experience the music and dance segments in a fully equipped theatrical venue with a notable commitment to exploring the arts as a vehicle for social justice.  \nThe program will give students an opportunity to think critically from multiple perspectives thanks to a unique coalition of artists\, educators and community advocates. Because of this the workshop satisfies a Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education Framework (CR-S).  \nVideo Performance Link: https://vimeo.com/678841555 Pre-show conversation with Jarvis Jay Masters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW9bNE37rIY  \n“This program was funded in part by Humanities New York with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities.”

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence: Lauren Camp (16+) Writing a Pantoum Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The ancient pantoum is the ideal form for writing about the past. With a little direction\, even uncertain writers are eased into shaping their crystalline memories\, and more experienced writers will have the chance to delve into subjects that might not have opened up for them before. In this workshop\, Lauren will offer brief historical background on the form\, then lead students in an idea-generating exercise that will produce the raw material for each student’s unique pantoum. She will also provide tips for how to craft a good pantoum line—a line that can shift in meaning over the course of the poem. Students will begin to see the juxtaposition and reverberation of sound and themes. Excitement builds quickly as students follow the form through to its ending. Open to all levels.  \nREGISTER\nResidency Plan: \nAt Bethany Arts Community\, Lauren anticipates being able to complete work on a manuscript that explores the spirit and art of abstract painter Agnes Martin within the context of recent politics\, social upheaval\, and the onset of the poet’s father’s dementia.  \nBio:\nLauren Camp is the author of five books\, most recently Took House (Tupelo Press)\, which received the American Fiction Award in Poetry. Other honors include the Dorset Prize and finalist citations for the Arab American Book Award\, Housatonic Book Award\, North American Book Award\, and New Mexico-Arizona Book Award. Her work has appeared in Kenyon Review\, Poem-a-Day\, New England Review\, Prairie Schooner\, and Beloit Poetry Journal\, and has been translated into Mandarin\, Turkish\, Spanish\, and Arabic.   \nAn emeritus fellow of the Black Earth Institute\, she has received support from Storyknife Writers Retreat\, Denver Botanic Gardens\, and the Taft-Nicholson Center. In 2018\, she was a visiting scholar/poet at the Mayo Clinic\, sharing poems of dementia with physicians and research scientists\, and she will be Astronomer-in-Residence at Grand Canyon National Park in 2022.  \nLauren has guest edited issues of: Malpaís Review (poetry of Iraq)\, World Literature Today (two issues: international jazz poetry\, and the intersection of contemporary visual art and poetry)\, About Place Journal (“Roots and Resistance”)\, and Ilanot Review (“Earth”).   \nLauren Camp is the author of five books\, most recently Took House (Tupelo Press)\, which received the American Fiction Award in Poetry. She also teaches for Hugo House and Hudson Valley Writers Center. \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:Artist in Residence: Margaret Liston Cooking with my Ancestors Reading/Cooking Demo
DESCRIPTION:A Work in Progress adaptation of my book\, “Basic: The Ammaccapane Family Cookbook”\, brought to life in the kitchen of Bethany where the audience comes to the kitchen with me as I tell my Family stories and make the food of my ancestors.  \nREGISTER\nResidency Plan:\nAs a dancer/actor/choreographer I plan to work on adapting my Family’s Cookbook\, Basic: The Ammaccapane Family Cookbook\, into a Performance piece by combining storytelling and the culinary arts. I want to explore my family’s history by cooking and baking the recipes handed down from my Italian immigrant grandparents. Instead of creating a kitchen onstage\, I want to bring the audience into the kitchen of Bethany where they can smell\, taste and “feel” the food from beginning to end.  \nBio:\nMargaret has been interested in movement and what bodies can do since the day she climbed out of her crib.  She has participated in a wide range of movement from tree climbing\, gymnastics and sports\, to Modern Dance (MFA NYU Tisch School of the Arts; Bill T. Jones Dance Co.) mime\, aerial dance (Multigravitational  Aerodance  Group)\, yoga\, Thai Body Work and Pilates.  The movement also  brought  her  to  her first  love\, the theatre (BA\,  Theatre\, Bowling Green State University) where she got hooked  on the camaraderie and “family” atmosphere created with each show.  In her first theatre   class “Production and Performance” she learned not only acting but also how to construct the set they would use for performance. This opened the world of Stagecraft and Technical Design which she then continued working throughout her undergraduate years building sets and all other aspects of Production – lighting\, sound\, props\, and costumes.  Throughout her theatre and dance career she has worked in Summer Stock (Ohio)\, Children’s Theatre Co.  (New  Jersey)\, Opera (Ohio\, Saratoga\, NY)\, Off Broadway (Ohio Theatre\, NY)\, Festivals (Copenhagen International Dance Festival\, Denmark)\, (Midtown   International   Theatre   Festival\,   NY)\,   (Philly   Fringe Festival\,   PA)\,   (SoloLab\,   NY)   and   has   choreographed   a Community  March  &  Dance  for  Hudson  River  Rising  –  One Billion Rising V-Day event 2013-14 with a fundraiser for Hope’s Door  –  local  Westchester  women’s  shelter  with  services  for all victims of Domestic Violence. More recently Margaret has conceived\, written\, and performed 2 solo shows – MentalPause  and A Mama Story – integrating dance\, storytelling and theatre.  In support of these shows\, Margaret was awarded a residency at Space on Ryder Farm (Brewster\, NY) and an Artist Commission from The Rivertown Artists Workshop (RAW) (Sleepy Hollow\, NY).    \nIn addition\, she was honored by RAW with a “Sleepies” Art and Performance   Award   for   her   choreography   and   by   her community as the Elizabeth Mascia Child Care Center Couple of the Year for her service in Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow\, NY. She continues to operate her Pilates Studio – Tappan Zee Body Works in Sleepy Hollow\, NY.  \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: Emily Bate Wig Wag Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Led by composer\, theater maker\, and choral music conductor Emily Bate\, this workshop offers participants new ways to engage with voice\, digging into the physical sensations produced by singing\, and exploring the sensations produced by singing as a group. Designed for every voice—from the seasoned choir member to enthusiastic shower singers and those who’ve been told they “can’t sing”—the Wig Wag Workshop explores the literal and figurative impacts of “resonance\,” seeking both palpable vibrations in our bodies\, and more information about the complex ways we relate to each other as singing bodies. No experience required for this workshop. Expect singing mad-libs\, vocal warm-ups\, free improvisation\, group discussion\, and experiential anatomy work.  \nREGISTER\nOpen to all ages 10 and up.  \nResidency Plan:\nI am making revisions to the script and score of my WIP show Wig Wag. Wig Wag is a hybrid music-theater piece\, performed by a cast of four in collaboration with the entire audience. In Wig Wag\, singing together transforms everyone present into one collective body\, as we explore the tensions and pleasures found in the thick tangle of our interdependence.  \nBio:\nEmily Bate is a singer\, composer and performer interested in the transformative potential of the human voice. Emily is the founder and conductor of Trust Your Moves a 65-member queer community chorus in West Philly. She is a 2021 Pew Fellow\, and her work has been supported by an Independence Foundation Fellowship\, two Leeway Art & Change Awards\, the MAP Fund\, and more. Recent collaborations include: John Jarboe’s Rose: You Are Who You Eat\, which premiered at the Guggenheim in 2022\, and work with Pig Iron Theatre Company\, Ragnar Kjartansson\, and Third Side Records\, on a collection of songs by Beverly Glenn-Copeland. \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: Artist Talk with Ben Cuevas
DESCRIPTION:Ben Cuevas speaks on his interdisciplinary art practice and how identity intersects with medium and process. As a queer\, latinx\, nonbinary\, HIV-positive artist\, identity directly influences Cuevas’s multifaceted artwork and choice of mediums. Working between textiles\, sculpture\, photography\, performance\, video\, and installation\, Cuevas investigates questions about the body\, the self\, and what it means to be other\, through a queer feminist intersectional lens.  \nREGISTER\nResidency Plan:\nMy most current body of work Non-binary Code investigates the fundamentally binary nature of knitting\, which is at the core of my practice—and combines this with the exploration of my non-binary identity. A central part of my artwork is based around fiber-arts\, and I reflect on the queer/feminist ideologies within the long and gendered history of women’s work with fiber-based materials. My goal for the BAC residency would be to dive into this series and devote my attention and body to the meditative practice of repetitive stitching with this large-scale acrylic yarn. This series of work is accumulating into an “acrylic on canvas” artwork that is subverting the heteronormative histories around abstract expressionism and inserting myself within this narrative stitch by stitch.  \nBio:\nBorn in Southern California in 1987\, Ben Cuevas is an artist whose work is rooted in concepts of otherness and intersectionality\, inspired by his queer\, non-binary\, HIV-positive\, and Latinx lived experience. As these multiple components inform his practice\, identity directly influences his artwork\, which is naturally interdisciplinary. Cuevas received his B.A. in mixed media\, installation\, and photography at Hampshire College\, in 2010.   \nA central part of Cuevas’s artwork is based in textiles\, underscoring queer/feminist ideologies within the long and gendered history of women’s work with fiber-based materials. These artworks have been shown across the US with exhibitions held at The Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles\, Museum of the City of New York\, The Leslie-Lohman Museum in New York City\, and others.   \nCuevas’s work also speaks to queer histories and the idea of the archive through his photo-based works centering images of sexual minorities from past into the present. This can be seen in his piece Ghosts of the Trucks of the Westside Highway\, and his ongoing photo series titled Reinserted.   \nSeveral books and publications feature Cuevas’s work\, such as DUETS: Ben Cuevas & Annie Sprinkle in Conversation\, published by Visual AIDS; Queer Threads: Crafting\, Identity\, and Community\, edited by John Chaich and Todd Oldham. Acclaimed as a public speaker\, Cuevas has given talks at institutions including\, Brown University\, Ohio State University\, The Museum of Sex (NYC)\, and the Fire Island Artist Residency.  \n  \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: Sarah Heady On Found Texts and the Poetics of Place Reading & Talk
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Heady will read from her newest book of poems\, COMFORT (Spuyten Duyvil Publishing\, 2022)\, a meditation on female solitude\, agency\, and relationship set on the prairies of the American West. COMFORT braids together found language from historical texts\, including rural women’s magazines of the 1910s and 1920s and “booster” documents extolling the virtues of farming the Great Plains. Sarah will also read from “Holdings\,” an essay collection-in-progress that investigates landscape\, power\, and class in the Hudson Valley. Raised in Dutchess County\, New York and now living in San Francisco\, Sarah will discuss what it means to write about place from a distance. \n\n\nREGISTER\nNote: Masks are required for this event. \n\nResidency Plan:\nI intend to use my time at BAC to develop a collection of linked lyric essays entitled “Holdings.” Rooted in my obsessions with place\, history\, and architecture\, this project circles around issues of landscape\, class\, and power in my home-place of the Hudson River Valley.   \nBio:\nSarah Heady is a poet and essayist interested in place\, history\, and the built environment. She is the author of Comfort (Spuyten Duyvil\, 2022)\, Corduroy Road (dancing girl\, 2021)\, and Niagara Transnational (Fourteen Hills\, 2013). She is also the librettist of Halcyon\, a new opera about the death and life of a women’s college. Sarah is the recipient of residencies from the Corporation of Yaddo\, In Cahoots\, Bethany Arts Community\, and Art Farm. Raised in New York’s Hudson Valley\, she lives in San Francisco\, where she co-edits Drop Leaf Press\, a small women-run poetry collective.

DESCRIPTION:THIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT\nAs part of BAC’s Season of Justice\, Jo Kreiter joins us in October to develop and present “Apparatus of Repair”\, the culminating work in her Decarceration Series. REPAIR 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. \nOctober 6 – 8\, 2022 Thursday – Saturday at 7:30 p.m (Public performances)\nOctober 7 – Friday\, 12:30 (special performance for Ossining School District students only)\nFREE EVENT (donations are welcomed to offset costs of the program) DONATE\nRegistration required\n \nFlyaway Productions Videos \nResidency Dates: October 4 – 11 \nBio: Flyaway 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 \nImage: Chairs photo by RJ Muna: pictured MaryStarr Hope \nAll tickets to Apparatus of Repair are offered at a subsidized rate due to generous contributions from the National Endowment for the Arts\, New York State Council on the Arts\, New England Foundation for the Arts: National Dance Project\, APAP Arts Forward\, Humanities NY\, Arts Westchester\, and numerous individual donors.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception From Love
DESCRIPTION:From Love* is an exhibition focused on human relationships (familial\, romantic\, and other) through the lens of incarceration. Anchored in family portraiture (photographs\, drawings\, paintings\, and text/audio)\, created by currently/formerly incarcerated artists and their families\, as well as several guest collaborators\, the work tells a story about the power of human connection; revealing love as the key component to our survival and collective liberation.  \nExhibit Dates: October 8 – November 5\nGallery Hours: \nMon\, Tue\, Thu\, Fri: 10 AM – 4 PM\nWed (October 19\, November 2): 10 AM – 7:30 PM\nSat (October 8\, October 22\, November 5): 10 AM – 3 PM\nOpening Reception: October 8\, 2022 4:30-6:30 PM  \nFrom Love is curated by currently incarcerated musician\, composer\, and SSFC Co-founder Joseph Wilson\, in collaboration with Collective member\, artist\, and curator\, Anna Adler\, and presented in conjunction with Flyaway Productions Apparatus of Repair\, acro-theater piece at Bethany\, as part of BAC’s Season of Justice programming.  \n*From Love aka From Love Community was created by Joseph & Renee Wilson in 2013\, as an extension of their union into their community –Renee & Joseph met and married while Joseph was already incarcerated\, together they have a daughter named Faith. Renee recognized the effects of incarceration on Joseph\, together they realized that building relationships between incarcerated individuals and community members outside is a key to collective healing. Since then\, they have worked together to promote these relationships as a holistic form of resistance to prison pathology; authentic human connection sits in vital opposition to the carceral state. Originally\, the phrase From Love referred to their dream of creating an alternative communication system to JPay\, (JPay is a subset of Securus technologies\, the company that holds the monopoly on families’ communication with their loved ones in prison). From Love envisioned transportation\, social media presence\, and food/care packages – to keep loved ones connected with one another\, hence From Love. Eventually From Love evolved into Renee’s social media account and became a way to connect with other prison families\, coordinate bus trips to correctional facilities\, and build dialogue and support around the carceral experience; Sing Sing Family Collective is an extension and evolution of that work.  \nPhoto of Joseph Wilson and daughter\, Faith.

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence: Marcie LaCerte Artist Talk and Work-in-Progress Screening
DESCRIPTION:Animator Marcie LaCerte will be sharing work-in-progress material of her upcoming animated short film\, The Pleasure-Dome\, and will be delivering an artist’s talk about her work.  \nREGISTER\nResidency Plan:\nI will be making progress on my upcoming independent animated short titled “The Pleasure-Dome.” I am combining digital character animation with hand-drawn\, colored pencil backgrounds. I will be using the facilities and the 25-acre grounds for inspiration (as much of my film is set in plant-filled landscapes) and for finishing up my film.  \nBio:\nMarcie LaCerte is a Chinese-American animator and art director based in New York City. She is currently a Creative Culture fellow at the Jacob Burns Film Center and is working on two narrative short films.   \nHer clients include Vox\, NPR\, Great Big Story\, PBS\, and Quartz. Her films have been recognized by Vimeo Staff Picks\, The New Yorker\, Ottawa International Animation Festival\, GLAS\, AFI Docs\, and more. She has given talks at the CalArts Experimental Animation program\, the Living Room Light Exchange (New York)\, and the Light Grey Art Lab Residency.  \nShe is interested in making films that use metaphor\, surrealism\, and comedy to examine personal experiences and feelings. Her dreamlike environments reflect the internal psychological state of her characters\, and her stories are often structured around journeys through these otherworldly landscapes. Her work explores themes of isolation\, creativity\, obsession\, and the absurdity of modern life. She is also interested in producing interactive multimedia art through game design or web-based hypertext. In her free time\, she enjoys thrift shopping\, listening to podcasts\, and thinking about the internet.  \n  \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: 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: Monalisa Gharavi Language Pieces Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Participants are invited to grapple with language as matter and material\, and in sustained artistic lineages. How does language fizz\, slip\, crack\, and sparkle with material presence? Beyond traditional genres of creative writing\, how do language forms vex the ways we have taken authorship and audience as understood positions? Our explorations will open toward ways of knowing and unknowing media\, extending beyond individualist notions of the “self” to undo\, camouflage\, or de-personalize\, and then re-energize\, the processes of making art and meaning in the public arena. Each participant leaves the final workshop having created\, restaged\, reworked\, “corrected\,” or annotated a significant work\, either their own or that of another artist. Feel free to bring your own writing work\, either printed or digital.  \nREGISTER\nResidency Plan:\nThe artist will produce chapters toward The Book of Disbelonging\, an experimental literary volume conceptually invoking the reverse of the seal of the U.S.\, “E pluribus unum” (out of many\, one) to pose instead\, “Ex uno\, plures”: out of one\, many. She will also deliver a public-facing multi-genre creative/critical writing workshop.  \nBio:\nMaryam Monalisa Gharavi is an artist\, poet\, and theorist whose work explores the interplay between aesthetic and political valences in the public domain. Solo/group exhibitions\, performances\, and expanded publications include Nottingham Contemporary\, Pioneer Works\, Parasol Unit\, Serpentine Cinema\, Framer Framed\, Townhouse Gallery of Contemporary Art\, Museum of Fine Arts Boston\, New Museum\, Pacific Film Archive\, Sonic Acts\, Triple Canopy\, Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center\, The Poetry Project\, Women and Performance\, Circumference\, among others.   \nShe completed a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature and Film & Visual Studies at Harvard University and an M.F.A. in Film/Video at Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College\, and held a postdoctoral Fulbright and Visiting Professorship at Birzeit University. She was a Lecturer at New York University and Northeastern University from 2019 to 2021; at Harvard University from 2012 to 2017; and has served as visiting faculty/studio artist at Valand Academy\, Cambridge School of Art\, Anglia Ruskin University\, Bard Microcollege\, among others.   \nBook publications include a translation of Waly Salomão’s Algaravias: Echo Chamber (Ugly Duckling Presse)\, nominated for a PEN Award for Poetry in Translation; The Distancing Effect (BlazeVOX); and Bio (Inventory Press).

She founded Oil Research Group (ORG) as a one-woman artist collective exploring the relationship between oil and data.  \nShe lives and works in New York  \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
