Mammal Mountain, a multidisciplinary dance commissioned by NYU Skirball (premiere April ‘26), includes long-time collaborators: performers Eleanor Smith, Anna Adams Stark, Darrin Wright, Saúl Ulerio, and choreographer Ivy Baldwin. It takes inspiration from Ken Russell’s 1969 film adaptation of D.H Lawrence’s Women In Love, specifically Gudrun’s “dance with highland cattle”—a ritual between woman and animal, of seduction, submission, fear, sensuality, aggression. Visually, the dance incorporates mammalian hides, specifically cows—used as second skins, physical terrains, paintings, weapons, and objects of desire. Ivy Baldwin is a NY-based choreographer, performer, educator, and founder of Ivy Baldwin Dance, Inc. (est. 1999). Commissions include BAM Next Wave, NYLA, Chocolate Factory, Abrons Arts Center, Joyce Theater (Joyce Unleashed), American Dance Institute, The Philip Johnson Glass House, Russel Wright Design Center, and LaMaMa. Select awards include Guggenheim, Bogliasco and Jerome Foundation Fellowships, Gibney DiP, NYFA, LMCC, 92Y, MacDowell, Yaddo, and Movement Research. Her work has been presented by The New Museum, MASS MoCA, REDCAT, and Dance Center at Columbia College Chicago, and internationally in Germany, Romania, and Italy.

Jazz | Jazzmobile Celebrates the Harlem Renaissance in a Park
Jazzmobile is proud to mark their 60th anniversary season with a music celebration of The Harlem Renaissance and National Endowment for the arts Jazz Master Jimmy Heath (1926-2019). Jazzmobile will bring that energy to the lawn with the Jimmy Heath Big Band. Everyone is sure to enjoy this evening of hard bop and swing - both, forms of, America's classical music jazz - under the evening sky! The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural, social, and artistic movement centered in Harlem, New York, during the 1920s and 1930s, celebrating African American culture, music, art, and literature. Jazz, big bands, and swing dancing were central to the Harlem Renaissance. It brought people together, and helped break racial barriers through music and performance. In the 1940's Heath became an important part of the Harlem Jazz scene and was deeply influenced by the legacy of the Harlem Renaissance and artists like Duke Ellington and Lester Young. Organizers lend out hundreds of free blankets on a first-come, first-served basis, or bring your own cotton or fleece blanket. There will also be pre-set chairs, or you may bring your own. To protect the lawn, please do not sit on waterproof materials such as plastic tarps, yoga mats, or inflatable chairs. Bring your own picnic or purchase food and drinks from tents on the side of the lawn.

Play | Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well in the Park
"This is the way Shakespeare wrote his plays to be seen." -The Huffington Post Get swept up in one of Shakespeare's boldest romantic comedies with New York Classical Theatre! Written around 1604, All's Well That Ends Well is one of Shakespeare's boldest romantic comedies. When Helena--a brilliant, determined young woman--heals a king, she earns the right to choose her husband. But love isn't so simple, and she must use wit, courage, and a daring plan to win the life she desires. Full of humor, heart, and twists, this rarely performed gem is a story of love on Helena's terms. New York Classical Theatre's signature style, Panoramic Theatre, turns public spaces into the world of the play. Instead of sitting in one place, the audience moves with the actors from scene to scene, following the action as it unfolds. This immersive approach creates a dynamic, interactive experience where every performance is shaped by its surroundings.

Play | Shakespeare's Henry V in the Park
Henry V follows the young and newly crowned King Henry V of England as he seeks to prove himself a strong and legitimate ruler. The play begins with Henry's claim to the French throne, based on ancestral ties, which the French reject. Insulted by the French Dauphin's mocking gift of tennis balls, Henry launches a military campaign against France. The central action is the Battle of Agincourt, where Henry, despite being outnumbered and exhausted, delivers the famous "St. Crispin's Day" speech to inspire his troops. The theater supplies 100 chairs nightly for the audience. Those chairs get snatched up fast though, especially at the end of the run or on beautiful summer days, so organizers advise that audience members wanting to use these folding chairs arrive 30 minutes before the start of the performance. You may bring your own chair or something soft to sit on. The theater almost never cancel due to rain, but if necessary, it will post updates on Facebook & Instagram.
