SUMMARY:Call for Poets! Poetry Residency 2025 Applications Open
DESCRIPTION:Call for Poets! \n\nTo apply\, see our Submittable page: https://bethanyarts.submittable.com/submit  \n\n\n\nIn recognition of the 29th anniversary of National Poetry Month in April 2025\, Bethany Arts Community (BAC) in Ossining\, NY is offering its fifth annual residency focused on poetry. \nBethany Arts Community designs its residencies to provide an environment where artists can work near each other\, creating opportunities for cross-pollination\, collaboration\, and connection.

Residents will be surrounded by opportunities for uninhibited creativity during their time at BAC\, in the form of other Poetry Residents\, local studio artists\, BAC staff and board members\, those presenting programs on campus\, and more! \n\n\nA unique component of residencies at BAC is Community Programming. As part of a residency\, we ask each artist to develop and facilitate a Community Program related to their residency plan. This part of the residency is an opportunity for artists to share with the local community in Ossining and Westchester County\, and for the local community to engage with artists through their work. \n\nThe Poetry Residency is for one week: Monday\, March 31 to Monday\, April 7\, 2025.

SUMMARY:Open Rehearsal with Full Circle Souljahs
DESCRIPTION:Open Rehearsal with Full Circle Souljahs\nDate & Time: Tuesday\, December 17\, 2024 6:30-7:30 PM \nJoin Full Circle Souljahs for a special open rehearsal as we continue to develop “Algo-rhythm” (previously: Wus Poppin)\, a celebration of the intergenerational exchange within New York City’s Poppin community. Legendary Boogiers/Poppers Kwikstep and Rokafella are leading a collective of dancers from various generations to explore the balance between freestyle and choreography. This work touches on themes such as isolation and the everyday life of a street dancer\, offering a glimpse into the soul of hip-hop culture. \nAfter the rehearsal\, stay for a Q&A where the Kwikstep and Rolafella will discuss the integration of freestyle and choreography\, how this style of dance differs from other hip-hop forms\, and the importance of passing knowledge between generations. Whether you’re a dance enthusiast\, hip-hop supporter\, or curious about the creative process\, this is an opportunity to witness the work unfold and engage with the artists shaping it! \n\nAbout Full Circle Productions\nFull Circle Productions\, founded in ’92 by Kwikstep established as a non profit in ’96 with the help of Rokafella and Violet Galagarza is embarking on another year of cutting-edge Hip-Hop on local and international stages\, streets\, cyphas\, and the industry. \nUnder the direction of Kwikstep and Rokafella\, the company aims to provide training to aspiring Hip hop dancers in New York City and local areas with a particular focus on the cultural roots\, the trajectory and growth of the classic styles and how Hip-hop is interpreted globally and commercially. \nFull Circle provided an equitable environment for women to train and perform breaking repertoire comparable to their male counterparts on and off stage. Members\, who range in age from teens to early fifties\, help to create a network of interactive empowerment for elders and youth. Kwikstep and Rokafella offer multi faceted opportunities to learn about NYC Hip-hop history\, the industry and life lessons which in time foster a self sufficient artistic world of young leaders\, integral masters and elders. Full Circle has hosted international Hip hop contemporary companies visiting NYC and represented Hip-Hop at places once intangible to the street vibe such as The Library of Congress in Washington D.C.\, where they have the credit of being the first Hip-Hop group to grace the stage. Their repertoire of soulful resilience brings the universal sense of struggle as a common link that unites us all. \nVarious music videos\, national dance tours\, commercials and films feature members and students of Full Circle as a testament to how the directors empower dancers to balance both community and commercial work. Full Circle has inspired young dancers to host their own open-dance sessions\, impacted the theater realm with street aesthetics\, shifted dance festival programming to uplift Hip hop’s cultural elements and most importantly stepped into educational forums with the message that Hip-hop is a continuum of afro diasporic social expression despite the mainstream’s superficial portrayals. Producing a documentary about women in Breaking/Street dance\, creating evening length as well as short theatrical pieces\, offering cultural workshops and planning seasonal dance events comprise the variety of programs Full Circle offers to support the cycles of growth in the community while paying respects to our ancestors. \nFind out more at www.fullcirclesouljahs.com
