Workshop | New Earth Ceremony Workshop and Performance
Artist Tattfoo Tanasks you to join him in a ceremony to ground and engage yourself within the universe. This workshop has limited capacity. Heal the man in order to heal the land. When we know who we are and why we are here, we will be grounded and able to engage in the play of the universe. We will be able to see the invisible thread which links all our internal decisions (thinking, action, feeling) and our external decisions (food, job, health, housing, human right, ecology). In the process, we will transform the egocentric “I” to the love supreme “I AM.” Although participants will not be transformed in a single ceremony, a seed is planted. Please bring a memento to introduce yourself.

Performance | Performance for One: Slippery Memory
Performance for One is a one-on-one performance event written and directed by Edward Einhorn, presented in 10-minute slots at venues across Manhattan. The performance is about memory, but even more so, it is about relationship between performer, audience member, and author. What is the responsibility of the audience member, and how is it felt differently when there is only one audience member? Who is the story teller, the author or the performer? What happens to a memory that two people share after one of those people is gone? Presented by Untitled Theater Company.

Discussion | Turning Towards a Radical Listening: How Our Lives Are Shaped by Language
In Turning Towards a Radical Listening, James Allister Sprang will develop a sculptural sound-based installation over the course of a five-week residency. The project begins with a series of conversations between Sprang and poets M. NourbeSe Philip, Rachel Eliza Griffiths, and Tracie Morris considering how our lives are shaped (if not, in a sense, programmed) by language. These conversations will be recorded, with the resulting files featured in Sprang's live performances as the artist runs them through voice-to-text software and other applications to highlight--and potentially to make new meaning from--algorithmic alterations and glitches. M. NourbeSe Philip: Saturday, October 5, 4pm Rachel Eliza Griffiths: Wednesday, October 9, 7pm Tracie Morris: Saturday, October 12, 4pm

The Rosen family, battered and blessed, celebrates Jeffrey's life as their hearts lie gasping on the floor. Backs are turned and accusations hurled as the Rosens come together and fall apart, bound by heartbreak and humor. Nobody escapes a good kick in the tuchas as they expose their foibles, confront their fears, and cling to their fragile connection amidst the chaos.
