SUMMARY:Voices of the New Belarus: Steve Clorfeine and Steve Wangh filmmakers
DESCRIPTION:Voices of the New Belarus is a documentary film that premiered at the Hong Kong festival “Art\non the Edge—Fear Not” in September 2022. It is based on a series of interviews\, testimonies and\nletters from Belarusian dissidents who were arrested\, beaten\, jailed\, even murdered during the\n2020-21 uprising in Belarus. As the war in Ukraine continues\, the Belarus dictatorship and its\narmed forces and secret police collaborate with Russia along the 600-mile shared border between\nUkraine and Belarus. \nSteve Clorfeine’s life as an artist is underpinned by his deeply felt spiritual beliefs. His\nintroduction to the Naropa Summer Institute in the mid-1970s led to an association with dancer\nBarbara Dilley and with performance artist Meredith Monk\, both of whose companies he joined.\nA performance artist in his own right\, Clorfeine has taught theatre and storytelling workshops\nboth in the U.S. and overseas. Trained in the Tibetan Buddhism and Shambhala traditions\, he\nincorporates his practice in the various courses he teaches\, including meditation\, improvisation\,\nand writing. Among his numerous published works are the poetry collections Simple Geography\,\nTogether/Apart and Other Poems\, and While I Was Dancing. See steveclorfeine.com. \nSteve Wangh is a playwright\, director\, and acting teacher. He is the author of fifteen plays and\nwas associate writer for The Laramie Project (Emmy nomination\, 2002)\, and a writer of The\nPeople’s Temple (Glickman Award: Best Play in the Bay Area\, 2005). He was dramaturg of\nMoisés Kaufman’s Gross Indecency. Steve is the author of two books about teaching acting: An\nAcrobat of the Heart\, a Physical Approach to Acting inspired by the work of Jerzy Grotowski\,\nand The Heart of Teaching: Empowering Students in the Performing Arts.\nSee  stephenwangh.com. \nPoster photo: In the center is Svetlana Tikhanovskaya\, who replaced her jailed husband as\npresidential candidate in the 2020 election and received 56% of the vote but was forced into\nexile.

SUMMARY:Penny Jones & Company:  Boxes to Buildings Workshop
DESCRIPTION:DUE TO UNAVAILABILITY OF COMMUNITY ROOM\, WORKSHOP CANCELLED\nBoxes to Buildings Workshop\nTuesdays June 14 – 28\, 2022\n3:30PM – 5:30PM \nWestbeth Community Room\n155 Bank St\nNew York\, NY enter through courtyard \nRegistration required. \nPROOF OF VACCINATION REQUIRED AT DOOR BEFORE ENTRY\n. \nPenny Jones  is the founder of Penny Jones & Company Puppets: Early Childhood Theater\, a legendary puppet show that has been in performance for over 40 years. Her hand-made puppets were recently featured in Puppets of New York City exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York. \nPenny Jones excerpt from Profiles in Art Interview:\nWhen I was working with other people’s puppet shows\, they were geared to older audiences\, but younger children came. And somebody made the rather mean joke that you could tell the success of the show by counting the puddles left by the youngest children in the front row\, due to overexcitement. I thought\, That’s terrible! I realized nobody is writing for that age\, respecting that age. So I determined when I went out myself that I would focus on that age. I had a child that age. I really identified with it. I wanted to produce shows which would capture their imagination\, which wouldn’t scare them\, which would move them\, which would not treat them like second-class citizens. And so I thought about it. I thought they have more fun when they’re sitting together as a group than when they’re sitting in chairs that are too big for them in between adults. They like to laugh. They need to exercise during the show. It’s too long for them to sit through a whole show. So we invent games that will exercise them without having to get up and run around. That’s why every show has a hand game. And they naturally want to participate. They say hello to the puppet when they see it. They don’t understand that you’re supposed to be a listener\, a watcher\, and not participate. \nAs I developed the different shows\, I kept thinking of various ways that would allow them to participate. \nRead entire interview with Terry Stoller Penny Jones\npuppeteer \nPenny Jones Westbeth Icon – See the film made about her as part of the Westbeth Icon Series\nVisit: Penny Jones Westbeth Icon \nMore Information about Penny Jones & Company Puppets\nVisit: Penny Jones & Company

SUMMARY:Westbeth Icon Evening : Hans Haacke
DESCRIPTION:Thursday May 12 at 7PM\nWestbeth Community Room\n155 Bank St. (enter through courtyard)\nNew York\, NY 10014\nFREE\nMASKS ARE REQUIRED. \nHans Haacke largely invented modern ‘artivism’ as a political strategy for conceptual artists. His work intervenes through the space of the museum or gallery to decry the influence of corporations on society and reveal the hypocrisy of liberal institutions accepting sponsorship from aggressive and conservative capitalists. This work has been immensely significant in prefiguring the modern challenge to ‘artwashing’\, the attempted diversion from harmful business practices through philanthropic engagement with the arts. \nHaacke’s politics extend to his artistic career\, providing a principled example to artists and audiences. He still maintains partial ownership over his artworks after sale\, for example\, allowing him a measure of control over the extent to which his protest can be coopted by the art market. As a teacher and writer Haacke’s influence is not only in the work he directly produced himself\, but in the dissemination of his political strategies through later generations of artists. Haacke’s fearlessness and refusal to bend in relation to institutional pressure has had an enduring legacy that persists to this day. \n– The Art Story \nWestbeth Icons is a project that celebrates the life and work of senior Westbeth artists who continue to work passionately in their artistic field. It is produced by the Westbeth Artists Residents Council. \nThe Icon evening features a filmed interview produced and directed by Ted Timreck with Terry Stoller\, interviewer\, as well as tributes by colleagues of the artist and words by the honoree. A special Icon gift is presented to the artist at the close of the evening. \nSee more Westbeth Icons at Westbeth Icons

SUMMARY:Beth Soll: Earthly Dances in Troubled Times
DESCRIPTION:L-R – Beth Soll\, photo credit: Lazslo Toth; Beth Soll and Abby Dias in the film\, “Two Red Solos\, A Formal Response.” Cinematographer: Ethan Mass; Brianna Lux\, photo credit: Jacob Lux. \nSaturday May 7\, 2022 at 8pm\nSunday May 8\, 2022 at 8pm\nBETH SOLL & COMPANY\nThe Westbeth Community Room at Westbeth Center for the Arts\n55 Bethune Street (corner of Bethune St. and Washington St.)\, NYC 10014 \nSeating Limited. Masks required for attendees. \nTickets: sollearthlydances.brownpapertickets.com\nPhone: 212-927-0476 \nWebsite: Beth Soll and Company \nFacebook: Beth Soll and Company \nChoreographer/Dancer Beth Soll\, Artistic Director of Beth Soll & Company\, will present Earthly Dances in Troubled Times\, a concert of four new works and a film at Westbeth Center for the Arts\, 55 Bethune Street\, NYC. The program will take place on Saturday May 7 and Sunday May 8 at 8pm. Tickets: *Full program below. \nCelebrating the 50-year age difference between herself and her dancers\, the two evenings will feature the premiere of Red Duet\, a live spin-off of Ms. Soll’s film\, Two Red Solos\, A Formal Response\, which will also be shown. Both works were created in response to the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. \nDancers appear in the film in two separate solos\, one for company member Abby Dias and another for dancer/choreographer Beth Soll\, in separate frames or socially distanced in one frame. Filming took place in 2020 outside\, amidst the greenery of Hudson River Park. The vibrant red of the costumes contrast with the lush green of the park. In Red Duet\, the live version of the film\, Ms. Soll shares the stage with Ms. Dias\, using geometric clarity and a thoughtful balance of athleticism and subtle\, gesture-based movement. \nThe other works to be shown echo aspects of the film\, including its movement vocabulary\, the tension between separation and connection\, and the co-existence of formal restraint and emotional expressivity. \nAccording to dance critic Deborah Jowitt\, who viewed the film in preview: “What makes this duet especially interesting—even moving—are the subtle distinctions between the two performers. Hard to believe though it is\, Soll is about fifty years older than Dias. If they raise both hands to frame their faces\, or lean down to touch the ground\, they seem like twins\, but they approach certain larger moves in individual ways…. Two red solos. The performers’ responses to the title may be formal\, and the two of them never touch. But their simultaneous solos seethe with the implications of togetherness and isolation that at present shape our daily lives.” – Arts Journal\, Read more. \n* Full Program (subject to change): \nSpell II (premiere)\, Solo for Beth Soll. This dance grew out of two earlier solos\, one from 1979 and another from 2016. It suggests a sense of immersion in a private\, almost visionary place of sensuous introspection\, expressed in both kinetic dancing and idiosyncratic gestural movement accompanied by the evocative music of Boston’s celebrated jazz musician Stan Strickland and the equally accomplished Josh Rosen. \nRed Duet (premiere) a live version of the film\, “Two Red Solos\, A Formal Response.” The choreography departs from the restrictions of the separate frames in the film and allows for more intimacy between the dancers than in the film\, as well as a sense of vigorous\, athletic freedom. Music: prepared tape of nature sounds by the film’s cinematographer Ethan Mass. \nWellspring (premiere)\, Solo for Abby Dias. The choreography of this piece makes references to the other dances in the program and focuses on Abby’s youthful\, hopeful energy\, her natural dramatic sense\, and her technical skill. The dance is accompanied by the highly original\, evocative music by experimental jazz artist\, Jeff Platz. \nFolk Dance: A Restless Fugue. Duet for Abby Dias and Brianna Lux. This dance makes reference to the traditional folk dance of Eastern Europe and to the embroidered patterns on folk costumes. The dancers move from upstage to downstage with one movement pattern and then move back upstage with another pattern\, sometimes deviating from their straight paths. Parts of the dance are performed in unison\, but much of it is performed as a fugue or canon\, in which one person starts\, and the other dancer later joins in with different movement. As the dance develops\, the dancers deviate from the rigid lines of the embroidery and dance together or in opposition\, which both enriches and undermines the conventions of folk dance and evokes a sense of the aesthetic power\, passionate emotions\, and suggestions of conflict that are often implicit in traditional dances. Music for the dance is by Param Vir\, a British composer originally from India and performed live by noted New York pianist Kathryn Woodard. \nFilm: Two Red Solos\, A Formal Response – the dancers appear in separate frames or socially distanced in one frame. The film was shot outside amidst the greenery of Hudson River Park. For the film Soll worked to reveal and celebrate the 50-year age difference between her and Abby Dias and to locate it within a geometric clarity and thoughtful balance of athleticism and subtle\, gesture-based movement. The vibrant red of the costume’s contrasts with the lush green of the park. Cinematographer: Ethan Mass. Editing: Ethan Mass and Beth Soll. \nABOUT BETH SOLL  \nBeth Soll is the Artistic Director of Dance Projects\, Inc./Beth Soll & Company.

SUMMARY:Westbeth Movie Night: What Happened\, Miss Simone?
DESCRIPTION:Friday April 22\, 2022 at 7PM\nWestbeth Community Room\n155 Bank Street (enter through courtyard)\nNew York\, NY\nMasks are recommended\, Room capacity 74 \nWhat Happened\, Miss Simone? is a 2015 American biographical documentary film about Nina Simone directed by Liz Garbus. The film opened the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. The screening was followed by a tribute performance by John Legend.[1] The film was released by Netflix on June 26\, 2015. It was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 88th Academy Awards. \nMichael Hogan wrote for Vanity Fair that\, “The risk of making a documentary of a towering artist is that\, by explaining her\, you only end up diminishing her. Not Nina Simone—not this time. In Liz Garbus’s telling\, Simone’s talent and personality shine through\, as gloriously singular\, and uncontrollable\, as ever.” \nManohla Dargis of The New York Times cited the film’s relevance\, calling it an “often electric\, bracingly urgent documentary.
