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.

Opening Reception | Sheyla Baykal: Horizontal Thinking -- Solo Portrait Photography Exhibition 


Sheyla Baykal: Horizontal Thinking presents a sequence of twenty-four portraits taken by the artist between 1979 and 1996. The exhibition takes as its prompt a 1993 taped conversation between Baykal and her friend Charles Baxter, wherein they discuss both her own posthumous printing ambitions, as well as that of their mutual friend Peter Hujar. The exhibition marks the first time Baykal’s portraits are printed as 16x20 inch silver-gelatin prints. Hung in a long horizontal row with a non chronological sequence, the portraits are juxtaposed in the gallery space with artworks and objects by and from the people represented in the photographs, including Penny Arcade, John Eric Broaddus, Tommy Lanigan-Schmidt, Steve Lott, Agosto Machado, Minette, Jack Smith, Christopher Tanner, and Paul Thek.

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.

Film | Stanely Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket (1987): Vietnam War Film


A young American Marine witnesses the dehumanizing effects of the Vietnam war on his fellow recruits, from their grueling bootcamp to the brutal fighting. Director: Stanley Kubrick Cast: Matthew Modine, Adam Baldwin, Vincent D'Onofrio, Lee Ermey, Dorian Harewood, Arliss Howard Stanley Kubrick was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, and photographer. Widely considered one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, his films were nearly all adaptations of novels or short stories, spanning a number of genres and gaining recognition for their intense attention to detail, innovative cinematography, extensive set design, and dark humor. While many of Kubrick's films were controversial and initially received mixed reviews upon release--particularly the brutal A Clockwork Orange (1971)--most were nominated for Academy Awards, Golden Globes, or BAFTA Awards, and underwent critical re-evaluations.

Opening Reception | The Tropics, The Moon, and Mars: Immersive Solo Exhibition Exploring a Post-Natural Tropical Environment


The Tropics, The Moon, and Mars is an exhibition of Brooklyn-based Brazilian artist Mari Nagem. In an immersive installation that unites light, sound, sculpture, painting, and digital experiments, Nagem constructs a post-natural tropical environment in which heat reorganizes relationships between bodies, technologies, geological formations, and living systems. The tropics appear as climate, home, and projection: a lived geography shaped by extraction, ecological transformation, and a long history of being imagined from elsewhere. The exhibition originates from a simple yet unsettling proposition: humanity dreams of becoming an interplanetary species while remaining unable to live collaboratively with the terrestrial ecologies it already inhabits. Rather than presenting planetary expansion as technological triumph, Nagem considers how fantasies of the Moon and Mars extend the same logics that have long shaped extractive relationships on Earth. The three locales of the exhibition title become less distinct destinations than overlapping terrains through which to reconsider survival, adaptation, and coexistence.

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.

Dance Performance | "Jazz's Premier Tap Dancer" Takes the Stage


Celebrated dancer, musician, improviser, choreographer, and educator Michela Marino Lerman performs alongside special guests she has personally curated. This evening centers live music, tap dance as a musical form, and culturally rooted improvisation, with an emphasis on community, legacy, and New York-based artistry. Recognized by DownBeat as "jazz's premier tap dancer" and described by The New York Times as "an outstanding jazz musician," Lerman is known for her dynamic, deeply musical approach to tap--positioning the form not only as dance, but as a vital language of jazz. Mentored by tap legends including Gregory Hines, Buster Brown, Leroy Myers, and Mable Lee, Lerman brings to the stage an artistic vision grounded in tradition and propelled by innovation. Across the residency, she will perform in dialogue with her guests, with each event highlighting a distinct theme while reflecting Lerman's lifelong commitment to rhythm, collaboration, and the ever-evolving spirit of tap.

Performance | A Pot of Broth: Farcical One-Act Play by W.B. Yeats


We imagine a poor cottage in the west of Ireland. A tramp enters and searches for food, talking to himself. In come the voices of a bickering husband and wife and a squawking chicken. When they enter to discuss the dinner that must be provided for the priest that evening, their gullibility creates the ironic conclusion to this version of the stone soup motif. Written by W.B.

Staged Reading | This Motherless Earth: Dystopian Drama (Workshop Production)


This Motherless Earth is set in a small desert town, in a future where women can no longer carry children and parenthood is regulated through state-issued synthetic infants. When an auditor arrives to observe a couple's eligibility to receive one of these children, the present fractures with memories of a childhood shaped by a mass illness. The development process will center on the play's atmospheric weather events--sudden heatwaves, storms, flash flooding, and drastic temperature shifts--using projection and visual design to create recurring environmental motifs that reflect the story's emotional and political climate. Written by Kate Vozella. Directed by Colm Summers. Witness and respond to this brand new work. Vozella and Summers will share up to 45 mins of what they've been working on, followed by an opportunity for you to respond and provide thoughts and insight. Your feedback is welcome and essential to the next phase of artistic development.

Though Hamlet claims that he is “mad in craft,” there’s inevitably going to be a little overlap. Three actors tackle Hamlet’s desperate struggle to ‘hold it all together’ in this imaginative, visceral, and immediate production of Shakespeare’s classic. Written by William Shakespeare. Directed by Nicholas Martin-Smith. Cushions will be provided to sit on the stairs of the monument. There is very limited room if you bring your own chair. Please arrive no later than 6:20pm. There will be no late seating.
