Akram Khan Company presents the U.S. premiere of Thikra: Night of Remembering. Thikra, meaning 'memory' or 'recollection' in Arabic, is deeply rooted in the power of rituals. With arresting visual design by Manal AlDowayan and Khan's signature choreographic style--weaving the Indian classical dance form of Bharatanatyam with contemporary--past and present converge in a journey to connect with ancestral knowledge. Imagined as an annual gathering, a tribe of women come together for one night only to awaken the spirits of those who came before them. Through ceremony and shared remembrance, they transcend time, uniting past and present in a profound act of renewal.

Jazz | Vibrant Music on the Hudson: Elvis Costello & Taylor Swift Collaborator Performs Energetic & Improvisational Jazz


Live music accompanied by spectacular sunsets over the Hudson River. Wayne Tucker and the Bad Mothas perform energetic, improvisational jazz. Wayne Tucker is a trumpeter, composer, arranger, violinist, vocalist, actor, and model who has released 5 albums under his name and performs regularly with his band, The Bad Mothas. Wayne has toured and recorded with a diverse array of notables such as jazz musicians Kurt Elling, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and Cyrille Aimee; pop acts Taylor Swift, David Crosby, Elvis Costello; R&B singers Ne-Yo and Gabriel Garzon-Montano; hip hop artists Jidenna and Ryan Leslie; and more. This diversity is represented in The Bad Mothas' energetic sound, where the American Songbook gets a welcome update, including selections by Michael Jackson or Earth Wind & Fire. Tenor saxophonist Miles Tucker holds a lean, mean counterpoint to Wayne's gentle affability on trumpet. Drummer Diego Joaquin Ramirez and bassist Tamir Shmerling provide solid underpinning, which accommodates a varied cast of pianists, most notably the gospel-influenced Willerm Delisfort. The group was featured in the New York Times for its steady schedule of street performances during the 2020 shutdown, representing New York City's infamous grit.

Opening Reception | Spiritual Technology: Solo Painting Exhibition Exploring the Structured vs Chaotic


An exhibition of works by Peter Acheson. The exhibition brings together small works on canvas, panel, bark, brick, and wood, made by Acheson over several decades. Acheson’s paintings range from textured abstractions to tempered gestures containing references to other artists and periods, among them 19th century French painters, Blinky Palermo, Raoul De Keyser, Bill Jensen, and Forrest Bess, alongside more direct observations from the landscape around his studio in Columbia County, New York. Acheson's concern is less with resolving these references than it is to allow them to coexist, permitting his paintings to act as habitats where various traditions and approaches can meet without hierarchy. This carries through to Acheson's playful way of treating his compositions, leaving them caught between styles, simultaneously structured and chaotic, with direct references and happenstance similarity.

Opening Reception | Imprinted Time: Solo Glasswork Exhibition Exploring Memory Preserved


In this exhibition, fatherhood is an experience of time travel. Moving forward and backward at once -- walking through time with your child as they move through the world while imagining how you once moved through it. Reaching into the past, excavating stored gestures you didn't know were there: the way you were held, the way time stretched and collapsed in the small rooms of childhood. It is not just witnessing a child grow; it is feeling time bend, layer, repeat. Glass holds this same logic. It carries its past -- every heat, every touch, every stretch stays within its form. It is a record, a body full of movement. Imprinted Time invites the viewer into that compression -- object and person, past and present, held together in material that remembers.

Movie in a Park | On the Town (1949): A Classic New York Musical with Gene Kelly & Frank Sinatra


On the Town follows three sailors on a whirlwind 24-hour shore leave in New York City. Filled with iconic locations, memorable songs, dazzling choreography, and plenty of romance, the film remains one of Hollywood’s greatest love letters to New York. Directors: Gene Kelly & Stanley Donen Cast: Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Betty Garrett, Ann Miller, Jules Munshin, Vera-Ellen Gene Kelly was an American dancer, actor, singer, director, and choreographer. He was known for his energetic and athletic dancing style and sought to create a new form of American dance accessible to the general public, which he called "dance for the common man". He starred in, choreographed, and, with Stanley Donen, co-directed some of the best-regarded musical films of the 1940s and 1950s. Frank Sinatra was an American singer and actor.

Opening Reception | Anywhere but Now: Solo Painting Exhibition Exploring Fragmented Nature, Time, & Wanderlust


Ron Chen's exhibition, Anywhere but Now, features the artist’s latest Particle Paintings. Chen’s recent works seek to untangle experiences through painted snapshots of moments both lived and imagined. He creates a series of dreamlike spaces that shift between dissolution and resolution, depending on how far or close to them we place our bodies. These compositions mine not only his own sense of familiarity within immersive moments, but also create ambiguous realities that resemble shared memories. What began as a deeply personal engagement with traditions and image sharing between family members has now expanded into broader meditations on memories of experiences, the desire for escapism, and the pursuit to understand both our individual and shared time. Anywhere but Now examines our own impulses to inhabit another time and place while simultaneously being present for the moments that matter within our daily lives. The title of the exhibition underscores our desire to step beyond the relentless influx of constant digital connection coupled with the persistent belief that fulfillment exists elsewhere and beautifully illustrates through painting our conscious and subconscious desire to transcend beyond peripheral distractions. From daydreaming about future possibilities or reminiscing about the past, the artist masterfully builds an opaque middle ground for viewers to take a moment to reflect upon their own lived experiences and consider their personal musings of escape from distractions. His works ask viewers to consider their own participation and attunement within their lives, and question how much of what they are seeing, feeling, and believing has been genuinely achieved, a performance of an alternate self, or if it has been fabricated for them. Rather than striving for realistic accuracy, Chen embraces visual ambiguity through the buildup of his surfaces. His softly applied daubs and strokes reject photorealism in favor of a visual language that mirrors the fragmented nature, time, and our own sense of wanderlust. As in life itself, movement never truly ceases. If not through our bodies, then through our minds, we are constantly wandering between memory, imagination, and anticipation. That restless condition ultimately becomes the condition of Chen's paintings.

Opening Reception | From the Ground Up: Ceramics Exhibition Exploring Racial Stereotypes & Subjectivity


From the Ground Up is an exhibition of recent ceramic sculptures and drawings by Anthony Peyton Young. Merging historic Southern craft traditions and contemporary explorations of identity, Young employs humor and caricature both to dismantle received stereotypes and to explore how those same stereotypes may contribute to the formation of subjectivity. Young’s ceramic vessels, like his paintings and drawings, mine American culture, particularly representations of Blackness, to forge new considerations of how we see ourselves and each other. His figures, more fully realized than just faces, draw upon tropes we know from popular entertainment and daily life. Sagging jeans reveal the tops of plaid boxers; gold chains and grills gleam against dark skin, referring to hip-hop culture, but also to African artistic traditions, in which metals—like the nails driven into wooden Kongo figures—generate spiritual powers. The frequent appearance of cowrie shells also nods to the ancestors.

Film | Lola (1961): French Romantic Drama from Jacques Demy


Described by Demy as "a musical without music," a tale of crisscrossing lives in Nantes. A bored young man meets with his former girlfriend, now a cabaret dancer and single mother, and soon finds himself falling back in love with her. Director: Jacques Demy Cast: Anouk Aimee, Marc Michel, Alan Scott, Jacques Harden, Margo Lion Jacques Demy was a French filmmaker and lyricist. He appeared at the height of the French New Wave. Demy's films are celebrated for their visual style, which drew upon diverse sources such as classic Hollywood musicals, the plein-air realism of his French New Wave colleagues, fairy tales, jazz, Japanese manga, and the opera. His films contain overlapping continuity (i.e., characters cross over from film to film), lush musical scores (typically composed by Michel Legrand), and motifs like teenage love, labor rights, chance encounters, incest, and the intersection between dreams and reality.

Tops is an exhibition of works by artist Lindsay Perryman. Born and raised in New York, Perryman’s work explores the existence, visibility, and nuances of transgender identities. Perryman utilizes their practice to challenge and rewrite misconceptions about the spectrum of identity. They rely on a cultivated visual awareness to reinterpret and redefine queerness. Perryman romanticizes the healing process after top surgery to highlight the importance of community when grappling with trauma, pain, and eventual recovery. Through literal self portraits and self portraits implied through the depiction of others, Perryman elucidates the importance of trans people seeing themselves in a tangible way, whether it be in print, in an artwork on the wall, a film on a screen, or looking back at them from a mirror.

Opening Reception | Under the Skin: Group Exhibition on the Monstrous Feminine


Under the Skin is a celebration of the flesh: mutations, hybrids, and manipulated beings as expressions of how the body can be re-written as a mode of feminist empowerment. The exhibition looks at how abjection is articulated and can be redefined, examining child-birth, care-taking, and body reconfiguration. The works seek to dissolve binary differences and disrupt the social order around female signifiers. The show flips our final understanding of the monstrous feminine into a source of power rather than punishment. It features Sue de Beer, Carly Ries, Alison Kudlow Eva Tellier, Origin I, and Katherine Hubbard.

Lecture | Expert Explores New Geometric Discoveries in Well-Known Shakespeare’s Collection


Architecture historian Matthew Collins presents a thorough and novel geometric analysis of the 1609 cover-page of Shakespeare’s Sonnets (the “Aspley Edition”) synthesizing and resolving disparate discoveries of discrete circles made by other scholars. Publicly revealed in 2016 and 2022 respectively, it is asserted that two subtle, but meaningful figures can be found inherent to the graphic design of this artifact and a great many conclusions from them deduced. Through trial and error, Matthew has sought, using hi-definition practical drafting techniques, to confirm, refine, and resolve the geometries of these two circles into a single structure to demonstrate a formal relationship between them, with primary concern for legibility and reproducibility.

Opening Reception | Psychedelicatessen: A Powerful Dose of Art -- Retro-Style Solo Exhibition on Jewish Cultural Memory


The new exhibit, Psychedelicatessen: A Powerful Dose of Art by Steve Marcus, presents a vibrant parodic mashup of 1960s counterculture and Jewish culture. Inspired by the psychedelic art of the 1960s, Jewish culture, and vernacular graphics, Marcus has created a body of work that twists Jewish tradition together with the visual aesthetics of the Jewish delicatessen and Hippie subcultures. At the heart of Psychedelicatessen is an exploration of cultural memory from multiple perspectives. Marcus draws upon the rich heritage of Eastern European Jewry and the immigrant experience in America, reimagining these traditions through bold colors, layered imagery, and inventive juxtapositions. His artwork invites viewers to consider how Jewish identity is preserved, transformed, and continually reinvented across generations.

Screening | By George: American History Documentary Premiere on the Waterfront


By George tells the story of July 9, 1776, when New Yorkers gathered downtown to hear the Declaration of Independence read publicly for the first time. In one of the Revolution's earliest and most symbolic acts, the crowd marched to Bowling Green and pulled down the equestrian statue of King George III. The film traces the statue's extraordinary afterlife: its lead was melted down into musket balls to support the revolutionary cause, while the severed head was reportedly smuggled back to England, where it may remain hidden to this day.

Workshop | Embroidery with Social Commentary Workshop: Slow, Shared Practice


Artist Cinthya Santos-Briones invites you to participate in a collective embroidery workshop and stitching circle that explores contemporary narratives of migration in the United States. Participants will embroider phrases drawn from news reports, headlines, and press archives related to the current anti-immigrant political climate. Through the slow, shared practice of embroidery, the group will transform words designed for immediate media consumption into a space for dialogue, critical reflection, and collective witness. Inspired by Chilean arpilleras, Mexico’s Bordados por la Paz collectives, and other Latin American practices that have used textiles to denounce state violence and forced disappearances, the project approaches embroidery as a tool for memory, collective witness, and community repair. The workshop will be co-facilitated by María José Prudente, a Mixtec Indigenous embroiderer, language rights advocate, attorney, and interpreter in immigration courts. All materials will be provided, and no prior embroidery experience is required. The workshop will be bilingual (Spanish and English).

Screening | Born to Fly: Elizabeth Streb vs. Gravity (2014) -- Documentary on Gravity-Defying Choreographer (Outdoors)


Experience extreme athleticism with a virtuoso of motion, as choreographer Elizabeth Streb proves that contemporary dance can be action-oriented and explosive, while still remaining as graceful and captivating as ballet. The documentary BORN TO FLY: Elizabeth Streb vs. Gravity is the story of the groundbreaking artist sometimes called "the Evel Knievel of dance." Streb's athletic dancers are part gymnast, part acrobat, and part extreme thrill seeker--walking on walls, diving through glass, and moving so fast they seem to fly. The film culminates as Streb and her dancers prepare and present gravity-defying performances as part of London's Cultural Olympiad leading up to the 2012 Olympics. Directed by Catherine Gund.

Performance | Desire Delayed: Realist Play on the Streets of New York


The story unfolds between sirens, city sounds, voices, and the wild figures of New York, causing the spectators' view to wander from character to character - from the couple at the bus stop to the food truck, into the passing car, and to the doormen on the other side of the street. The characters tell little stories of a complicated world, in this short moment of their existence in which we are observing them - sometimes unnoticed, sometimes bizarre, intimate, and funny. While the audience can only see the street, the scenes are defined by the live editing of the sound. Written and directed by Marie Sturminger & Felix Dennhardt.

Performance | Human: Puppetry Musical Inspired by African Diasporic Storytelling Traditions


A theatrical experience that blends puppetry, music, and movement to explore what it truly means to be human. Now that humans are extinct and the world as we knew it has ended, the Octopus has a decision to make... Will it be willing to give up one of its three hearts in order to create a new, more sensitive human being? Will it be willing to give humanity a second chance? Rooted in African diasporic storytelling traditions and the musical lineages of blues, jazz, and soul, HUMAN explores themes of connection, human rights, ancestral memory, climate, and collective responsibility and asks audiences to question what it really means to be human in a time of deep ethical fracture. This performance is preceded by a free puppet-making workshop at 6 pm, using upcycled materials, culminating in a short, audience-led procession into the theater, where these creations become part of the performance experience. Written & Directed by Nehprii Amenii.

Susan Rogers, PhD--a behavioral neuroscientist and former record producer and engineer best known for her work with Prince--and filmmaker and DJ octomedusa lead a "record pull" to discuss what the music you love reveals about your sense of self.

Your "listener profile" is a Goldilocks zone--where features of the music you love best are just right: this is the music of you! Music lovers have sweet spots in their listener profile--Goldilocks zones where music's features feel just right. In a record pull organizers play and talk about songs you love, sharing your musical self with others. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served.

Performance | Human: Puppetry Musical Inspired by African Diasporic Storytelling Traditions (with ASL & Audio Decription)


A theatrical experience that blends puppetry, music, and movement to explore what it truly means to be human. Now that humans are extinct and the world as we knew it has ended, the Octopus has a decision to make… Will it be willing to give up one of its three hearts in order to create a new, more sensitive human being? Will it be willing to give humanity a second chance? Rooted in African diasporic storytelling traditions and the musical lineages of blues, jazz, and soul, HUMAN explores themes of connection, human rights, ancestral memory, climate, and collective responsibility and asks audiences to question what it really means to be human in a time of deep ethical fracture. This performance is preceded by a free puppet-making workshop at 6 pm, using upcycled materials, culminating in a short, audience-led procession into the theater, where these creations become part of the performance experience.

Performance | Desire Delayed: Realist Play on the Streets of New York


The story unfolds between sirens, city sounds, voices, and the wild figures of New York, causing the spectators' view to wander from character to character - from the couple at the bus stop to the food truck, into the passing car, and to the doormen on the other side of the street. The characters tell little stories of a complicated world, in this short moment of their existence in which we are observing them - sometimes unnoticed, sometimes bizarre, intimate, and funny. While the audience can only see the street, the scenes are defined by the live editing of the sound. Written and directed by Marie Sturminger & Felix Dennhardt.

Performance | Human: Puppetry Musical Inspired by African Diasporic Storytelling Traditions


A theatrical experience that blends puppetry, music, and movement to explore what it truly means to be human. Now that humans are extinct and the world as we knew it has ended, the Octopus has a decision to make… Will it be willing to give up one of its three hearts in order to create a new, more sensitive human being? Will it be willing to give humanity a second chance? Rooted in African diasporic storytelling traditions and the musical lineages of blues, jazz, and soul, HUMAN explores themes of connection, human rights, ancestral memory, climate, and collective responsibility and asks audiences to question what it really means to be human in a time of deep ethical fracture. This performance is preceded by a free puppet-making workshop at 6 pm, using upcycled materials, culminating in a short, audience-led procession into the theater, where these creations become part of the performance experience. Written & Directed by Nehprii Amenii.
