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

SUMMARY:The Camp of Witchcraft and Wizardry
DESCRIPTION:The Camp of Witchcraft and Wizardry\nPresented by Theater O!\nJuly 8 – July 26\, 2024 – Three One-Week Sessions \nRegister Here!\nTheater O is back at Bethany in the Summer of 2024 with our much-loved Harry Potter-themed\, arts-based camp.  Participants will be sorted into houses\, and participate in a House Cup competition. Each day participants will do a creative writing assignment with their house\, play Harry Potter improv games\, create a work of art\, and play quidditch!  The Camp runs Monday-Friday\, 9 am – 3 pm.  Campers bring their own NUT-FREE lunch and snack\, and lunch and snack are refrigerated.  Campers must bring water bottles. \nFAQ\nQ: My child is not yet 7\, but they love Harry Potter!  Can they attend?  \nA: If your child knows that Dumbledore dies\, or you think if they find out at camp it will not turn into an existential crisis\, yes. \nQ: Are the activities different from week to week?\nA: The structure of each week is the same in that every week campers carve wands\, write and illustrate Quibbler articles\, create Patronus puppets\, and participate in daily House challenges.  The activities themselves are projects that are kid-driven.  So while they will write a Quibbler article each week\, their partners and prompts will be different. \nQ: How much time do you spend outside?\nA: About 50/50 in pre-covid times.  During the pandemic\, we spend as much time outside as possible. \n

SUMMARY:Hudson Holes: A Community Mini Golf Project - at Ossining Waterfront!
DESCRIPTION:Join Max Lazarowitz in building and devising Hudson Holes: A Community Mini Golf Project! \nThere will be no workshop at BAC on July 14. Join Max at the Ossining waterfront to learn more about Hudson Holes! \nMy name is Max Lazarowitz and I am in 9th grade at Ossining High School. I have lived in this town my entire life and I am committed to helping the Ossining community through creative projects. During the pandemic\, I proposed to the town to build a mini golf course to spread awareness about climate change. Not only is mini golf one of my favorite activities\, but it is fun and affordable for people of all ages. \nAfter submitting a letter and drawings to the town\, I was asked to participate in the Ossining Earth Day Festival and worked with a carpenter to build 2 prototype holes. The interest was overwhelming and after having it there twice (2022 and 2023)\, Bethany Arts Community (BAC) and our Town Supervisor and Mayor reached out to me to discuss next steps. This led to a connection with an organization called Submerse NY whose mission is to fund three local art projects that focus on the rising concern of flooding in the Hudson Valley. After a few meetings with everyone and sharing my plans and vision for this course\, I was the recipient of a grant from Submerse to make this happen. I am so excited for this opportunity! \nEach hole will be designed around the topic of climate change and the impact of increased flooding on our area. While I am bringing this project to Ossining\, I am hoping that everyone in our community and schools (kids and adults) will help me create it!  My goal is to use as many repurposed and recycled materials to build the course. I will be leading workshops through Bethany Arts Community so people of all ages can join me in creating different aspects of each hole. Workshops will include brainstorming\, painting\, and constructing!

The experience weaves together a chorus of unique and powerful voices as the women in the cast reveal true life-changing moments when divine intervention or instinct takes control\, leading them to a spark that nurtured their spirit and lit the path ahead. \nSPARK serves as a mirror\, highlighting how we are all connected as it prompts audience members to reflect on their own moments of self-discovery while celebrating the resiliency of the human spirit. At times deeply jarring\, but ultimately uplifting\, SPARK encourages viewers to confront the complexities of life and\, in doing so\, find a sense of euphoric liberation. Together\, we reveal the malleable nature and complexity of the human experience\, and share in a revelatory moment that we are not alone.\n \nCreated\, Written\, Produced by Tami McCarthy. Creative Team: Directed by: Beth Spitalny\, Serena Norr\, Co-Writer and Co-Producer\, Music by Becki Davis and Lynne Barasch. Featuring Spoken Word Performances by Serena Norr\, Violet Benny\, Luz Michelle\, Monique Ford\, Shelley Molad\, Sarah Sanders\, Lynne Barasch\, Tami McCarthy\, and Shauna Lane; with a special performance by Inez Wilson and special appearance by Medicine Woman + Spiritual Healer Vasiliki Lagoudis. \nShowtimes\nFriday\, July 12\, 2024 8PM\nSaturday\, July 13\, 2024 2PM\nSaturday\, July 13\, 2024 8PM\nSunday\, July 14\, 2024 2PM \n$35 General Admission/$30 Senior/Student \nTickets for this show are non-refundable.

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.
