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.
