Dance Lesson | Around the Way Gurl: The Block Party
Artist Cheri L. Stokes engages autoethnography and personal narrative to inspire movement and text. Her new work-in-progress, “Around the Way Gurl” explores the intersections of gender, intergenerational movement aesthetics, innate movement patterns, generational and community values, and Hip-Hop culture influence the artist's identity and the women from Bed-Stuy in the 1980s and 90s. “The Block Party” serves as a means of research in the development of Cheri’s work, “Around the Way Gurl.” For The Block Party, Cheri will lead audiences in a multigenerational community dance workshop. Like the block parties of the 80s and 90s, participants can expect dance, music and fellowship in a casual but upbeat atmosphere. Take a trip down memory lane, wear your best styles from the decades, and come ready to move and have a good time. ALL generations and families are welcome. No dance experience needed.

Dance Performance | Die No Die: Dance in the Park
Matty Davis is an artist and choreographer engaged in collaborative explorations of risk, trust, responsibility, and empathy. His work predominantly manifests in performance and dance. Davis foregrounds the body as a means to enliven tensions inherent in our being—between fragility and strength, the individual and the collective, and life and death. His performances are characterized by their intense physicality and inventive choreography, often orchestrated to be directly responsive to and engaged with his audience. Die No Die is a site-responsive work undertaken by Davis and five collaborators—Nile Harris, Chloé Cooper Jones, Anna Thompson, Taylor Knight, and Bryan Saner. The performers and the audience traverse the park together. Each performer navigates the work’s choreographic structure in four parts: ‘The Critical Gesture of Arrival,’ ‘The Gem,’ ‘Send the Heart Deeper,’ and ‘Oppositional States.’ This happens one performer at a time, in linear succession, at six pre-determined stops along the High Line. Each performer signals to the next through the felt beat of their hearts—the heart signifying a baton in the relay of life—and in the forward motion of performance itself.

Dance Performance | Choices: Bodies Navigating Space
Choreographer Kim Brandt’s new work Choices is a performance for six dancers staged within Tara Donovan’s exhibition Stratagems. It is the culmination of an ongoing dialogue between the two artists over the course of their 12-year friendship. In her practice, Brandt explores collective actions and counter isolations through a vocabulary of minimal movements that are often pedestrian in nature. By employing an incremental, site-specific, process-oriented approach, she draws our attention to individual bodies as they negotiate space and together create kinetically charged, multi-person atmospheres.

Truly great DJs don't just spin records, they curate an evening of unique sounds and surprise samples that give proof to years (or decades) of crate digging for that special beat or the massive hook that makes everybody in the club stop and ask "Wait... what is THAT?" Few wizards on the wheel of steel have as much experience or as deep a catalog as the Brooklyn DJ and producer J.PERIOD. This renowned creator, who has made a name over the past quarter century with his "audio-biographical" mixes for icons like Nas, Q-Tip, Lauryn Hill and The Roots, opens up his vinyl vault to reveal the artists behind Hip-Hop's all-time great cuts. Beyond James Brown, Parliament, Isaac Hayes, and Chaka Khan, there's a world of more obscure samples waiting to be discovered. Let J.PERIOD be your guide as he squares up on the 1s and 2s for an evening of exploration where secrets will be revealed and improv cyphers are sure to pop off.

Dance Performance | Convergent Waves: NYC
Lenora Lee Dance presents the immersive, site-responsive, multimedia dance performances, "Convergent Waves: NYC." Tthe contemporary dance performance will unfold against the backdrop of this historic vessel. Choreographed by award-winning dancer-artistic director Lenora Lee and the talented performers, this slate of dance vignettes has been inspired by and created specifically for the venue to artfully showcase an interactive journey through different areas of the ship, while delving into the rich history of this international cargo vessel—the last of its kind. Dance will take place in the massive cargo hold, the forecastle where the crew ate and slept, the captain’s saloon, and more. The piece will provide insight into the unseen lives of the laborers who helped to build New York City into the global hub it is today and the unexpected role of the sea as a site for freedom from the racial and gender barriers of the era. The audience will not be seated during the one-hour event and will actively move throughout the ship to witness this site-specific performance to experience intimate and engaging moments with performers that include video projection, recorded original music, and text. The program involves climbing a few stairs, walking up an angled gangway, and descending a few stairs onto the deck. The lower decks are accessible via stairs, while the upper deck requires navigating steep ladder-like stairs.
