Performance | The Planet-Eaters: Seconds: Performance Art by Will Rawls
Part-dance, part-concert, and part-travelogue, The Planet-Eaters: Seconds explores a duet as an intimate exchange of rhythms. In this reconfigured study of the original The Planet-Eaters, Rawls brings new material to his reflection on Balkan folklore and the exhilarating failures of becoming self and other. What starts as a game of counting for two performers finishes with a fragmented encounter of themselves that is epic, incidental, singular, plural, and neither here nor there.

Riff this, Riff that is a first-time collaboration between dancer/choreographer Ephrat Asherie and jazz pianist/composer Ehud Asherie. Although born in Israel and raised by parents with strong Israeli identities, both siblings naturally gravitated towards two quintessentially American art forms which stem from the African American community, jazz and hip hop, respectively.
Straddling cultures gave both Ehud and Ephrat a lens through which to make sense of the world. Riff this, Riff that will use movement and live music to explore the connections between these styles and the myriad of rhythms, both musical and motional, that continue to exist and expand within and around these forms.

Performance | A Body in Places: Performance Art by Eiko
A Body in Places is the omnibus title of Eiko’s solo project which involves going to a place of her choice, studying it and performing at the site without lighting, sound, and other theatrical conventions.
During the performance, as Eiko takes hesitant steps, she will make eye contact with intentional audiences and passersby, creating a potential of human architecture by striving to tear down the walls of alienation. Thorough this gaze with each individual, the performance also creates an interesting environment where audiences can also gaze and connect with fellow audience members.

Concert | Sounds of French Rock: CharlElie Couture / Yael Naim / General Elektriks / La Femme
Born in Nancy, France, in February 1956, and graduate of the Fine Arts school, CharlElie is a multidisciplinary artist, whose work covers the exploratory fields of image, writing and music. Since his signature on Island Records by the notorious Chris Blackwell, the success of his poetic-rock-blues music albums has not stopped him from continuing his exploration in painting, sculpture and photography.
Music is anything but a job to Yael Naim and David Donatien. It’s entwined in every aspect of life for these musical and romantic partners, who recorded their third album together, 2010’s She Was a Boy, in their family home on the outskirts of Paris.
Having left his adopted land of California for the city of Berlin, French singer, keyboard-player, and producer Hervé Salters released To Be A Stranger, his 4th album as General Elektriks, in February 2016. Clearly high on the radical streak that permeates the German capital, this new record conjures up a brash array of funk keyboards, hip hop beats, pop melodies and vibrant tones.
Since hitting the west coast, La Femme’s reputation for finely tuned and taught stark anthems has spread like sea spray. Their debut album, 2013’s Psycho Tropical Berlin, immediately hit No.1 on the French digital charts and the group promptly became the cover darlings for Magic, and went on to make crowds dance across Europe’s premier festivals.

Discussion | Live Podcast Taping: From Ainu to Zaza
There are approximately 7,000 languages spoken in the world today. By the end of the century some linguists predict half of these languages may fall silent.

Now, activists and scholars from across the globe work to protect and save minority languages. In this live podcast taping, the World in Words’ hosts Patrick Cox and Nina Porzucki will explore what’s happening to endangered languages from Ainu to Zaza. Why do languages become endangered, and how have some speakers worked to ensure a future for their native tongues? Speakers include: Denise Hibay, Susan and Douglas Dillon Head of Collection Development Daniel Kaufman, Director of the Endangered Language Alliance of NYC Alina Simone, Reporter for Public Radio International James Lovell, musician, educator, and speaker of Garifuna
