SUMMARY:ARToberFest: Community Crazy Quilt with Susan Lenz
DESCRIPTION:Title: Community Crazy Quilt with Susan Lenz\nDate & Time: At ARToberFest\, Saturday\, October 8\, 2023 10:30AM – 4:30PM \nCome stitch with fiber artist Susan Lenz! Vintage household linens\, lace\, and other seemingly neglected old textiles will be hand-stitched together and made into a contemporary crazy quilt.  This activity is meant to give “second life” to the materials and also serve as an opportunity to share stories from ancestor stitchers and quilters.  No experience is needed.   \nAbout Susan\nGenerally using needle and thread for self-expression\, I work to address social\, environmental\, and cultural issues. I am also a storyteller whose work evokes past narratives with open-ended possibilities. I regard art-making as a conversation with viewers and catalyst for diverse dialogue. My immersive installations include a socioeconomic subtext\, cleverly embedded in the space but related to waning memories and personal mortality. Through found objects\, especially vintage garments\, comes a powerful human presence full of silent longing and disappointment but also hope for humanity. I regularly indulge my passion for book arts and altering anonymous photographs. My artwork has appeared in national publications\, juried exhibitions\, and at fine craft shows including the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Smithsonian Craft Shows. I have been featured on art quilting television programs and on South Carolina ETV’s Palmetto Scene. My work is in the permanent collection of the Textile Museum in Washington\, DC and the McKissick Museum. \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:Christopher Williams: Work-In-Progress Showing
DESCRIPTION:Date: Saturday\, September 30\, 2023 \nCLOSED TO THE PUBLIC: Due to the recent uptick in COVID-19 cases and the pending world premiere of this piece\, BAC + the artists have decided to close “Christopher Williams Dance Work-in-Process Showing” to the public out of safety precautions. \nWhile at Bethany\, Christopher is continuing his ongoing current project ‘Queering’ the Canon: Reimagining the Ballets Russes. Christopher Williams will create\, rehearse and present a work in process of choreographic material for two new original ballets in preparation for their world premières at Baryshnikov Arts Center in October 2023 featuring costume and lighting designs by longtime collaborators Andrew Jordan and Joe Levasseur. \nJeux\, set to Claude Debussy’s eponymous poème dansé composed in 1912 for the Ballets Russes\, is a queer reimagining of Vaslav Nijinsky’s original ballet (the title of which means “games” in French). The work will be presented as a “double” version of itself initially foregrounding Diaghilev’s overlooked fantasy that the scenario describe a homosexual encounter between three young men and then reprising as a women’s trio with the men reappearing like revenants\, shadowy wraiths\, or zombies from a disastrous event – in Williams’s version a plane crash – an event apparently envisioned by Nijinsky for his original. Games playing with the presentation of gender in the costumes and on the binaries light and shadow\, life and death\, and the concept of tennis match “doubles” with winners and losers incorporates and further abstracts the sporty theme of the original. \nA Child’s Tale\, reimagines Massine’s 1917 ballet Contes Russes (meaning “Russian Tales” in French) originally performed in four parts: Kikimora (which was first produced as a separate work in 1916)\, Bova Korolevitch and the Swan Princess\, Baba Yaga\, and Kolyada-Malyada\, to which two more scenes were added for later London performances billed as Children’s Tales. Set to Anatoly Lyadov’s series of short orchestral works Eight Russian Folksongs for Orchestra\, Baba Yaga\, Op. 56\, and Kikimora\, Op. 63\, Williams’s version tells a folkloric tale of newlyweds who lose a child and find an orphan via the machinations of those fascinating denizens of Slavic myth\, the mysterious house spirit Kikimora and the infamous witch Baba Yaga\, whose house roams the forest on chicken legs.

SUMMARY:Bronze Metal Clay Jewelry
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nBronze Metal Clay Jewelry\nInstructor: Barbara Kirby\n#\, Dates and Times of Class: 5 Sessions – September 23\, 30\, October 7\, 14\, 21\, 2023 10-12:30 PM\nCost: $270.00\nAges: 16+ \nDuring the classes\, participants learn the process of making jewelry using Bronze Metal Clay. Students need no previous knowledge or experience and will have lots of fun creating stunning pieces. \nMetal Clay is a unique crafting medium made from microscopic metal particles mixed with an organic binder and water. It’s easy to use\, fun\, non-toxic and is safe to work with one’s hands. \nOriginating in Japan in 1990\, metal clay can be shaped just like any soft clay\, by hand or using molds. After drying\, the clay can be fired in a variety of ways such as in a kiln\, with a handheld gas torch\, or on a gas stove\, depending on the type of clay and the metal in it. The binder burns away\, leaving the pure sintered metal. Shrinkage of between 8% and 10%. \nAbout The Instructor: Barbara Kirby \nBarbara graduated from Webster University with a BFA. She studied at the Boca Museum of Art School and the Westchester Arts Workshop. She has also studied at the Castle Hill Art School in North Truro\, MA. and the Metalwerx School for Jewelry & Metal Arts in Boston. She continues to study with master metal clay jewelry artist Terry Kovalcik. \nBarbara has a 20-year background in metalsmithing and metal clay jewelry. She has led workshops and classes throughout the Northeast and Florida. Her unique handmade jewelry is available for sale at local venues and on Etsy.com. \nBarbara maintains her jewelry studio in Ossining\, NY. \nWebsite: https://www.bkirbyjewelry.com/about

She has studied somatic movement and 5Rhythms for 17 years with Dr. Melissa Michaels (founder of SomaSource) and recently completed her SomaSource LifeCyle Practitioner training with Dr. Melissa Michaels and the SomaSource Institute in Boulder\, CO. Lucia is very excited to bring this work to the Ossining Community and to create opportunities for mindful movement exploration and learning. \nAn early interest in experimental dance\, theater and beyond led Lucia to pursue an MFA in Lecoq-based Physical Theater from London International School of Performing Arts in 2005.

She recently exchanged the chaos of NYC for the quiet of Westchester where she lives with her husband (his piano) and their two beautiful children. \n“Lucia has inspired our communities for decades. Her dance is grounded and surrendered. Her heart is wide open\, pouring forth such sweet love. Her creativity is an endless stream of surprises. Her capacity to bring her audience and community to tears is like none other. She also causes us all to laugh and delight in the human reality that we all find ourselves moving through. Being with Lucia is like basking in sunshine. She is warm\, radiant\, and clear. I can hear her laughter now; gracious\, spacious\, free. Lucia is filled with light because she is not afraid to be with the darkness. On and off the stage\, she is a teaching and teacher of paradox and wholeness!” \n–Dr. Melissa Michaels

SUMMARY:Experimental Drawing
DESCRIPTION:Register Here!\nTitle: Experimental Drawing\nInstructor: Peter Leeds\nDates and Times of Class: 7 sessions; Tuesdays\, September 12\, 19\, 26\, October 3\, 10\, 17\, 24 6-7:30PM\nAges: 16+ \nThis class can be defined as the study of purely making marks on a surface. Mark making in art and design refers to how artists create patterns\, lines\, and textures with marks when drawing and painting. It is both a sensory and physical activity\, which includes artwork created in various media. \nNo experience needed! \nWe will work with: \nSpeed Drawing – How the mark is created using blind mark making and a non traditional medium to draw with. We will use continuous line drawing with a method of staring at the subject as you draw it continuously and keep your eye on the subject matter. We will focus on observing the objects (not the paper)as we draw. \nNegative Space Drawing – Concentrate on the spaces between the objects using a different medium. For example\, using torn toned paper glued between the objects and not the objects themselves. This technique can create some visually exciting compositions and it’s well worth a try if you are looking to expand your repertoire of drawing methods. \nUnique Mark-Making Tools – We will build\, invent\, learn tools to make different marks and create textures\, motions\, and drawings based on our environment and what’s available. The more experimental and unusual your choice is the best. For example\, when drawing outside\, many artists will use sand\, twigs\, or branches to draw with. \nWe will also study basic drawing techniques using patterns\, shapes\, and lines along with studying tone and value scales. Each class we will learn about a new experimental artist and how they chose to explore their projects opening up new possibilities for us to learn from. Come join us on this experimental journey at Bethany Arts Community.

Her dance is grounded and surrendered. Her heart is wide open\, pouring forth such sweet love. Her creativity is an endless stream of surprises. Her capacity to bring her audience and community to tears is like none other. She also causes us all to laugh and delight in the human reality that we all find ourselves moving through.

Lucia is filled with light because she is not afraid to be with the darkness. On and off the stage\, she is a teaching and teacher of paradox and wholeness!” \n–Dr. Melissa Michaels
