SUMMARY:Closing Reception: Alan Haywood - Life’s Lens: A Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a retrospective journey celebrating the life’s work of Alan Haywood—a photographer of all trades with extensive experience in fine art\, commercial art\, and portraiture. Alan’s work powerfully captures the varying complexity and interconnectedness of light and shadow\, finding beauty and strength in unexpected places. His art has been featured in the New York Times\, Time Magazine\, and cover art for several books and musical albums. This exhibit will highlight the breadth of Alan’s work\, including landscapes\, travelogs\, portraits\, musicians and abstract expressionism. \nAlan’s work is guided by his passions\, focusing on people\, spaces and diverse forms of human expression. Life’s Lens is both a celebration of Alan’s work and his life\, which has been miraculously extended for over 25 years after a heart transplant in 1997. The show is a testament to the power of community\, art\, and science\, as much of the works would not have been created without the healing forces that have supported Alan’s second chance at life. \nOpening Reception: March 10\, 2023 7-9 PM\nClosing Reception/Celebration: Sat. April 8 2-4PM \nGallery Hours:\nMon-Fri: 10AM-4PM\nWed (March 15\, 29\, April 12): 10AM-7:30PM\nSat (March 11\, 25\, and April 8): 10AM-3PM

Come as you are and dance your way Home. \nAll bodies 16 and up are welcome! \nDates and Times of Class: 4 drop-in sessions; March 11\, 18\, 25\, April 1 10-11 AM; Doors Open at 9:45AM\nAges: 16+\nCost: $20 \nInstructor Bio:\nLucia Rich (She/Her) is a Movement Arts Educator\, SomaSource Practitioner\, Yoga/Wellness Instructor and Collaborative Theater Artist devoted to the practice of embodiment through her personal practice\, teaching and performing for over 20 years.  A life-long lover of movement\, Lucia has trained professionally in classicall\, contemporary\, improvisational and 5Rhythms Dance. 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:IMPACT Written & Performed by Amy Engelhardt
DESCRIPTION:IMPACT\nWritten & Performed by Amy Engelhardt\nDirected by Kira Simring \nA fascinating story told through the lenses of music\, multimedia and memory.  \nThere are no coincidences… only connections. Shortly after the 30th Anniversary of the bombing of PanAm Flight 103\, a remarkable chain of “follow-signs” lead award-winning playwright/composer/performer Amy Engelhardt (Bastard Jones\, Grammy nominees The Bobs) to Lockerbie\, Scotland. What begins as a bucket-list trip to honor lost friends evolves into a personal and global exploration of grace\, kindness and simplicity. A multimedia scrapbook of the journey\, Impact unfolds through photographs\, video\, storytelling and soul-stirring original songs as Engelhardt’s previous and newfound connections to the tragedy unexpectedly yield a renewed hope for humanity. \n“Moving\, sorrowful\, hopeful and ultimately enlightening\, Amy Engelhardt’s Impact is a monologue with music\, detailing the 1988 terrorist bombing of PanAm Flight 103 over Lockerbie\, Scotland and events that tied her  to the attack. Engelhardt’s personal connections to the tragedy led her\, unexpectedly\, to new depths of her art\, and gave her a renewed hope for humanity. Written and performed by Engelhardt\, Impact is presented as a multimedia scrapbook of sorts\, combining photographs\, film and video clips and snippets of vocal recordings\, all of which paint a real\, compelling portrait of some of the victims of the bombing. She also tells of her meetings with members of the victims’ families and residents of Lockerbie who became involved by virtue of circumstance.” \n– Michael Barbieri\, NiteLife Exchange Broadway Theatre Review\, 2021 \nComposer/lyricist/bridge-and-tunnel kid AMY ENGELHARDT scored OBA Best New Musical nominee BASTARD JONES at the cell theatre (Resident Artist)\, TRIPTYCH (NY Transit Museum\, book/music/lyrics)\, CARL SAGAN’S CONTACT (lyrics\, Puget Sound Theatre Award)\, THE WOODS OF EXETER (playwright\, Secret Theatre New Works\, NYC)\, TESLA (lyrics\, New Musicals Foundation) and A COMEDY OF ERAS (music/lyrics\, ACT Seattle w/the Flying Karamazov Brothers).

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.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Alan Haywood - Life’s Lens: A Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a retrospective journey celebrating the life’s work of Alan Haywood—a photographer of all trades with extensive experience in fine art\, commercial art\, and portraiture. Alan’s work powerfully captures the varying complexity and interconnectedness of light and shadow\, finding beauty and strength in unexpected places. His art has been featured in the New York Times\, Time Magazine\, and cover art for several books and musical albums. This exhibit will highlight the breadth of Alan’s work\, including landscapes\, travelogs\, portraits\, musicians and abstract expressionism. \nAlan’s work is guided by his passions\, focusing on people\, spaces and diverse forms of human expression. Life’s Lens is both a celebration of Alan’s work and his life\, which has been miraculously extended for over 25 years after a heart transplant in 1997. The show is a testament to the power of community\, art\, and science\, as much of the works would not have been created without the healing forces that have supported Alan’s second chance at life. \nOpening Reception: March 10\, 2023 7-9 PM\nClosing Reception/Celebration: Sat. April 8 2-4PM \nGallery Hours:\nMon-Fri: 10AM-4PM\nWed (March 15\, 29\, April 12): 10AM-7:30PM\nSat (March 11\, 25\, and April 8): 10AM-3PM

SUMMARY:Screening & Discussion of “Shared Legacies:” The African American – Jewish Civil Rights Alliance\, in partnership with AJC (American Jewish Committee) Westchester/Fairfield
DESCRIPTION:Shared Legacies: The African American-Jewish Civil Rights Alliance \nDate(s) and Time(s): Wednesday\, February 22\, 2023 at 7pm\nLocation: Bethany Arts Community\, 40 Somerstown Road\, Ossining NY 10562\nTickets: Free \n\n97 m. Shari Rogers. Menemsha Films. United States. English. Rated NR.\n\nThis potent and utterly fascinating call to arms deeply explores the alliance between African Americans and Jewish Americans dating back to the 1909 founding of the NAACP. Director Shari Rogers shows how this union originated in a mutual recognition of the suffering of segregation\, violence\, and bigotry\, but she also highlights how the relationship has frayed in recent years. The film features archival footage and recent interviews with leaders\, witnesses\, and activists\, including the late great Congressman John Lewis\, UN Ambassador Andrew Young\, the scholar Susannah Heschel\, and many others. This potent and inspiring story of unity\, empathy\, and partnership validates the universality of the human experience\, and reminds us how freedom and equality for all can be achieved only when people come together. \nThe screening of “Shared Legacies” will be followed by a discussion. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:“Fact or Fiction?” Work-In-Progress Showing by Trainor Dance
DESCRIPTION:“Fact or Fiction” is a collaborative creation by the artists of Trainor Dance in which the performers tell stories through language and movement\, and the audience votes on the veracity of each.
