Talk | Classical Scholar Discusses Martha Graham's Greek Myth-Inspired Choreography (In Person AND Online!)
In this program, Ronnie Ancona draws material from her new book, Martha Graham's Greek Myth-Based Dances and Her Collaboration with Isamu Noguchi. She argues that the bold and woman-centered receptions of Greek myth created by Graham emerged from Graham and Noguchi's mutual understandings of space and movement, objects and bodies. She traces the influences of ancient Greek myth on these dances as well as the ways in which Graham (and Noguchi) have created something new from this heritage through their own interpretations. This presentation will include photos and video clips.

Author Reading | Renowned Composer Shares Her New Book, Mirror: A Novel in Reflections
Lera Auerbach, writer, composer, and artist, reads an excerpt from her book. The book is a genre-defying Russian-language novel in reflections, where memory transcends time and prose moves with the architecture of music. Subtitled A Novel in Reflections, Mirror is not a conventional novel. It is diary and monodrama, confession and labyrinth, musical score and mythic theatre. Composed in twenty-four preludes and twenty-four postludes, with trios, mirrored returns, inversions, and a final coda, the book transforms literary form into an act of reflection. One part answers another; one image reappears altered; one memory casts a shadow across another. The result is a work in which prose behaves like music.

Book Discussion | Archival Architecture Exhibition & Book Launch with Architecture Scholar
A conversation on the occasion of the new book, The Archival Exhibition: A Decade of Research at the Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery, 2006–2016 by Mark Wasiuta. The book gathers thirteen exhibitions from a decade of curatorial research at Columbia GSAPP’s Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery, examining the archival exhibition as a mode and method of architecture. Across these projects, architecture appears as a field coordinated by documents, articulating the archive as a shifting process rather than a stable repository. Wasiuta will be joined in conversation by Elizabeth Diller of Diller Scofidio + Renfro, exploring the role of the document in their work. The conversation will be introduced by José Esparza Chong Cuy, Executive Director of Storefront, who will then join the discussion. Copies of the publication will be available for sale.

Poetry Reading | Titanic-Inspired Poetry Discussion
Margo Taft Stever, Sandra Yannone, and Susana H. Case, the editors of Unsinkable: Poems Inspired by the Titanic, come together. They will answer questions about the ship, read poems in the anthology, and explore the enduring cultural resonance of the Titanic. Bringing together an international chorus of poets, Unsinkable explores themes of migration, class, technology, loss, survival, and human connection. The collection moves beyond the familiar story of the disaster to consider the Titanic as metaphor, memory, and a vessel for stories that continue to resonate in the present. A Q&A with the audience and a reception will close the evening. An opportunity to explore how more than a century of fascination with the Titanic continues to inspire new stories—and new ways of understanding one of history’s most enduring maritime tragedies. Access to the program requires walking up six steps, with wheelchair access available via a platform lift.

Performance | Cookie: Italian Picaresque-Inspired Performance Unfolding around a Sculpture
The play follows the traditional picaresque format, a literary style developed during the height of Spain's Golden Age in which a clever but poor hero, a picaro, uses their wits and tricks to survive in a corrupt and crumbling society. Drawing inspiration from 16th-century picaresque novellas like Lazarillo de Tormes and Francisco de Quevedo's The Swindler, Cookie is a story of desperation disguised as elite ambition. At its center is Gunnar Churchwell, a sleazy yet charismatic suit salesman who arrives in Madrid, only to be recruited by the egomaniacal ringleader of a grifting crew of makeshift "tailors." Their baseline rule for survival is simple: "never let them know you are hungry." Cookie unfolds around The Lair, a twisted aluminum sculpture resembling a street scaffold. The performance is a story of desperation disguised as elite ambition, highlighting anti-heroes who maneuver through the cracks of a glittering superpower purely to secure their next meal. Georgia Gardner Gray works across painting, performance, and theater. Her vivid canvases depict exaggerated figures in social spaces--bars, apartments, rehearsal rooms, city streets--each imbued with the comedy, absurdity, instability, and contradiction inherent in our modern lives. As an accomplished playwright, Gray captures the tension between intimacy and display, self-awareness and satire.
