Whitaker has traveled to Haiti\, Cuba\, Brazil\, France\, Germany\, Spain\, the Netherlands\, Belgium\, Ghana\, Jamaica\, Trinidad\, Tobago\, and Antigua to study\, perform\, and teach dance. Whitaker received an MFA in Dance from Hollins University\, a BA in Dance from San Francisco State University\, and attended The Ailey School. She was an Urban Bush Women Apprentice\, a Maggie Allesee Choreographic Fellow\, and an Isadora Duncan Award recipient. In 2019\, Whitaker’s company performed at ODC\, she received the NYSCA/NYFA Award in Choreography\, and completed her first residency at the Kennedy Center.  In 2021\, Whitaker’s choreography was featured in the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Virtual Dance Africa\, she completed a second residency at the Kennedy Center\, became a Gerbode Foundation Special Awards in the Arts Grant recipient\, and curatorial artist for Albany Symphony Orchestra and Brooklyn Children’s Museum.

Before she made her transition\, she created the beginning of a dance film called The Road to Ose Tura. As Efeya got closer to transitioning\, she sent Whitaker and some members of her Brooklyn dance community all the videos of the movement she was dreaming into life and her rehearsal footage in a Google drive. In her human form\, she did not finish setting her work on dancers. 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.

Songwriters sit in the middle\, taking turns\, playing stories and maybe telling stories about the song\, too.  One of the best ways to hear music is coming to Bethany Arts! \nFEATURING… \n \nSiobhan O’Malley\nSiobhan O’Malley is a singer-songwriter who released three critically-acclaimed albums\, and has played her music all around the country.  She was signed to the label Blue Coccoon records and played with many awesome musicians in NYC (including opening for Mike Viola and Nicole Atkins).  She took a break from performing to have a couple of cutie-pie kids.  She is delighted to be playing out again and often plays in the city with the New & Used Songwriters’ Collective and the O’Malley Family Band.   She is passionate about writing songs and sharing them with friends and strangers alike.\nwww.siobhanomalley.com\ninsta-handle:  @siobhanomalleymusic\nFB:  @siobhanomalleymusic \nTJ Douglas\nTJ Douglas is a songwriter. They write songs about their life\, and for the last five years their life has centered in their work as a palliative care hospital chaplain: spiritually\, emotionally and physically accompanying people who are dying. They live in Peekskill\, NY.\nInstagram: _tjdouglas \nDan Strauss\nDan Strauss is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist originally from Queens\, now living in Brooklyn.

Dan has won over audiences with his melodic storytelling\, poignant lyrics\, rich vocals and intricate arrangements.

They touch our everyday darkness\, wade through undercurrents of memory and sketch half-portraits of characters both real and imagined. Originally from Tennessee\, now at home in the Hudson Valley\, Prascher is a songwriter with a haunting sound and clear vision.  \nLaura Leigh\nHailing from the rolling hills of Washington County in Upstate NY\, Laura Leigh gained her following by singing folks to tears around every late night campfire in the capital region.

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. Some portions of this exhibit may not be suitable for all audiences. \nArtwork is for sale\, with prices available upon request\, and proceeds going directly to the artists. For more information\, please email singsingfamilycollective@gmail.com \nThank you for witnessing this work\, for being in community with us. \nLove & Solidarity\,\nAnna Adler & Joseph Wilson\, Sing Sing Family Collective\, August 2024 \nExhibit Dates: August 16-26\, 2024\nGallery Hours (Starting August 16):\nMon-Fri: 10AM-4PM\nSaturday\, August 17 10AM-6PM\nSaturday\, August 24 10AM-5PM \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, August 17\, 2024 4-6PM\nArtist Talk: Saturday\, August 24\, 2024 4-5PM \nCurated by Anna Adler &\nJoseph Wilson\nc/o Sing Sing Family Collective \nFeaturing…\nSircobra\nEllis Douglas\nBismark Lithgow\nDyego Foddrell\nJohn J.

DESCRIPTION:Call for Artwork Submissions for “I’m Scared” Art Show\n\n\nGallery Dates: October 4-31\, 2024\n\n\n“I’m Scared” Themes + Questions\nWhat does it truly mean to be scared? What are the shadows that haunt your thoughts?

This show is not merely about showcasing artworks; it’s about creating an experience that challenges our perceptions of fear and allows us to confront them. \nFrom the seemingly trivial childhood dread of monsters lurking under the bed to the profound\, soul-shaking horrors that grip us as adults\, I’m Scared aims to represent a large spectrum of fear. We plan to feature a diverse array of works that resonate with audiences of many different demographics and backgrounds\, tapping into both universal and deeply personal terrors. \n\nSubmissions due by Friday\, September 6\, 2024 at 11:59PM\nNotifications: Friday\, September 13\, 2024\nSubmissions made outside of Submittable will not be accepted\, see link below! \nTo learn more about dates\, details\, guidelines\, and to apply – click here!\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, email Curator Lexi Rudley at alexar@bethanyarts.org.

SUMMARY:NIGHT SHIFT - Paintings by Fred Schuback
DESCRIPTION:NIGHT SHIFT – Paintings by Fred Schuback\nSeptember 7-26\, 2024\nOpening Reception: September 7\, 2024 2-4PM \nJoin us at Bethany Arts Community for NIGHT SHIFT\, an exhibit showcasing the evocative paintings of the late Fred Schuback. This exhibition offers a glimpse into Schuback’s unique artistic vision\, featuring works that capture his exploration of New York City’s underbelly. \nA preview of Fred Schuback’s work is available at www.fredschuback.com. \nAbout Fred Schuback \nIn order to support himself\, Frederick Schuback drove a yellow cab in New York City in the 1970’s and ‘80’s. He chose the night shift\, which gave him the freedom to paint during the mornings when the light was best in his Alphabet City studio. He rendered the people and places he had seen during the night with a vivid palette that may have been influenced by his childhood in Mexico. \nWhen Schuback was active\, New York was considered the epicenter of the art world. The city’s explosive creative energy and vast wealth had enabled unconventional artists like Andy Warhol\, Jean-Michel Basquiat\, Keith Haring and others to reach unprecedented levels of fame and glory. \nAs an artist\, Schuback was beginning to achieve recognition in the late 1980’s. He had earned a BFA from Pratt Institute and had had several critically acclaimed shows\, including a one-man exhibit at the Federal Courthouse in lower Manhattan. But he struggled with poor mental health and\, in 1992 at the age of 42\, he lost that battle. \nHis legacy lives on thanks to Pratt Institute’s Fred Schuback Scholarship\, which was established by the Schuback family\, and each year awards a monetary prize to a promising fine art student. A portion of the proceeds of this exhibit will go toward that scholarship. \nExhibit Dates: September 7-26\, 2024 \nGallery Hours (Starting September 9):\nMon-Fri: 10AM-4PM\nSaturday\, September 14 & 21 10AM-4PM \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, September 7\, 2024 2-4PM

SUMMARY:OPENING RECEPTION: NIGHT SHIFT - Paintings by Fred Schuback
DESCRIPTION:NIGHT SHIFT – Paintings by Fred Schuback\nSeptember 7-26\, 2024\nOpening Reception: September 7\, 2024 2-4PM \nJoin us at Bethany Arts Community for NIGHT SHIFT\, an exhibit showcasing the evocative paintings of the late Fred Schuback. This exhibition offers a glimpse into Schuback’s unique artistic vision\, featuring works that capture his exploration of New York City’s underbelly. \nA preview of Fred Schuback’s work is available at www.fredschuback.com. \nAbout Fred Schuback \nIn order to support himself\, Frederick Schuback drove a yellow cab in New York City in the 1970’s and ‘80’s. He chose the night shift\, which gave him the freedom to paint during the mornings when the light was best in his Alphabet City studio. He rendered the people and places he had seen during the night with a vivid palette that may have been influenced by his childhood in Mexico. \nWhen Schuback was active\, New York was considered the epicenter of the art world. The city’s explosive creative energy and vast wealth had enabled unconventional artists like Andy Warhol\, Jean-Michel Basquiat\, Keith Haring and others to reach unprecedented levels of fame and glory. \nAs an artist\, Schuback was beginning to achieve recognition in the late 1980’s. He had earned a BFA from Pratt Institute and had had several critically acclaimed shows\, including a one-man exhibit at the Federal Courthouse in lower Manhattan. But he struggled with poor mental health and\, in 1992 at the age of 42\, he lost that battle. \nHis legacy lives on thanks to Pratt Institute’s Fred Schuback Scholarship\, which was established by the Schuback family\, and each year awards a monetary prize to a promising fine art student. A portion of the proceeds of this exhibit will go toward that scholarship. \nExhibit Dates: September 7-26\, 2024 \nGallery Hours (Starting September 9):\nMon-Fri: 10AM-4PM\nSaturday\, September 14 & 21 10AM-4PM \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, September 7\, 2024 2-4PM

SUMMARY:"meditation on what America+utopia might =" Work-in-Process Showing with Mary Armentrout
DESCRIPTION:meditation on what America+utopia might = Work-in-Process Showing with Mary Armentrout\nDate & Time: Saturday\, September 21\, 2024 6-7:30PM \nMary Armentrout presents a work-in-progress showing of her newest project: meditation on what America+utopia might =. This dance-theater performance-installation weaves together a de-construction of some of the colonialist tendencies still embedded in current American culture through the central figure of “the lady in the black dress\,” with an absurdist but deeply serious dive into the fraught but beautiful tendency of Americans to yearn for utopia\, which historically has not turned out particularly well for us – yet! “The lady in the black dress” is a metaphorical device\, a ghostly\, historically illogical\, Victorian presence with meta-tendencies towards humor\, towards complication\, towards philosophical inquiry\, towards both communal reckoning and community making\, who engages her audiences in collective puzzling about how we get closer to the future we want from the pasts and presents we find ourselves enmeshed in. \nDuring this roving site specific performance installation\, the audience will visit several different spaces within the grounds of the BAC. Please wear shoes for easy walking\, we will be inside and outside on the lawn\, and there will be stairs. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have mobility or disability issues or concerns; we aim to accommodate them\, email Julia at julias@bethanyarts.org. \nAbout Mary\nMary Armentrout is a San Francisco Bay Area-based experimental choreographer\, performance artist\, videographer\, teacher\, and the director of the Mary Armentrout Dance Theater. Armentrout calls her genre-mixing site-specific works performance installations; recent awards include an Isadora Duncan Dance Award and an EMPAC commission. Her works problematize the lived experience of intentionality and presence\, and include the audience’s role as a key element of the performance equation. She installs work in both conventional and site-specific venues\, and MADT has been presented at numerous venues all over the San Francisco Bay Area\, as well as across the US and the UK\, Europe\, and China\, recently touring to universities across the states and the UK\, as well as the Brighton Fringe and the San Francisco International Arts Festival. For her EMPAC commission at RPI\, she created a site specific piece\, listening creates an opening\, that journeyed from the RPI campus through the town of Troy to the banks of the Hudson River\, which subsequently toured to the city blocks around ODC Theater in San Francisco\, and through the Sarah Lawrence College campus. \nShe teaches a variety of movement\, composition and Feldenkrais modalities\, both to a thriving local community and as a guest artist nationally and internationally\, and was recently voted a “Best of the East Bay” dance teacher in the local independent newspaper The East Bay Express. She also is the organizer of the Dance Discourse Project\, an on-going series of artist-curated discussions on the Bay Area dance scene\, and co-curates the mixed performance salon The Milkbar at her home studio in Richmond CA \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: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.
