SUMMARY:Saved: Objects of the Dead- Reading and In Conversation with Contributors
DESCRIPTION:Click to enlarge \nA Collaborative Book of Photography and Prose\nby Jody Servon and Lorene Delany-Ullman\nEssay by Cora Fisher \nJune 11th\, 1:00-3:00 PM \nReading & and in Conversation\nwith contributors Cora Fisher and Swati Khurana \nWestbeth Community Room\n55 Bethune St\, New York\, NY 10014\nNo RSVP required. \nFor over a decade\, artist Jody Servon has documented objects people save when those they love die\, and writer Lorene Delany-Ullman has written accompanying prose poems based on interviews and details the objects’ owners shared. The resulting body of work gathered in Saved: Objects of the Dead (Artsuite\, 2023) is a visual and poetic narrative of how grief manifests and how material possessions help harbor memories. Two New York public launch events for the book will be hosted by Westbeth Community Center and Pennington Friends House on June 11 and June 18\, respectively. \nIn Saved\, the color images of objects such as a hairbrush\, a lighter\, a star ornament\, and a pocketbook\, are presented on one side of each page spread\, and details of the object’s significance are on the facing page in prose poem form. This diptych quality reinforces the relationship between the words and the images and provides an intimate glimpse into a fragment of someone’s personality and life. The words and photographs\, like grief\, are stories within stories\, at once personal as well as universal.   \nCurator and writer Cora Fisher contributed an essay for the book\, and she also comments on the relationship between the images and writing\, “The combination of photographs and prose creates a candor around mortality\, one which has helped contributors process the juggernaut of grief after a loved one dies and\, when the loss is not so immediate\, has provided for a collective rumination on mortality. Taken together\, the images and texts are a menagerie of life held within loss.” \nDownload more info on book here:  Saved_NYC_Events

SUMMARY:First Fridays: Michael Moss with Sorin Lerescu - BOWS/Ensemble for Strings and Piano
DESCRIPTION:MICHAEL MOSS WITH SORIN LERESCU – BOWS/ENSEMBLE FOR STRINGS AND PIANO  \nBows/Ensemble for Strings and Piano: Rosi Hertlein (violin)\, Sunjay Jayaram (violin)\, Melanie Dyer (viola)\, Lenny Mims (cello)\, Ken Filiano (bass)\, Anthony Coleman (piano)\, Michael Moss (clarinet). \nThe First Fridays Concert on May 5 at Westbeth is a collaborative evening featuring Michael Moss’ new group\, Bows/Ensemble for Strings and Piano  performing his piece Abyss and the World Premiere of Far Away by acclaimed Romanian composer Sorin Lerescu\, written especially for Michael Moss and his ensemble for this occasion.  \nAs part of this cross-cultural evening\, Dr. Lerescu will share his unique perspective in a short talk on Romanian contemporary music.  \nMichael Moss composed Abyss in homage to his late father-in-law and his experiences escaping Germany during the Holocaust – it is infused with his spirit. Based on a sestina by Louisa Bieler and Leviticus/Jeremiah\, Abyss expresses the pain and suffering of people. Michael Moss joins his Ensemble on clarinet for this piece. Far Away\, Op.89 (2023) (World Premiere) is described by Lerescu “As if somewhere\, in the distance (Far Away)\, a refrain resounds…”New York\, New York.” Suggested by the immensity of the ocean\, the sonorities of the piano – sometimes close to rhythms and melodic fragments of an almost improvised discourse – are juxtaposed with those of the instrumental ensemble (2 violins\, viola\, cello\, contrabass).” \nWestbeth Artists Residents Council sponsors a musical event the First Friday of every month at 7PM in the Westbeth Community Room

SUMMARY:Sarah King Quartet in  First Fridays with Westbeth Musicworks
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Veronica Ibarra \nSarah King is champagne. A charming\, flirtatious clown\, Sarah delights her audiences with an effortless voice that tickles notes\, time traveling from the 1920s-40s. She has sung and danced her way from crowded subway platforms and smokey speakeasies to secret parades and abandoned water towers\,  from the hilltops of France\, to the beaches of Brazil\, from The Boom Boom Room to Lincoln Center. \nSarah performs standout interpretations of old music\, from straight-ahead jazz to traditional jazz classics. Her easy\, breezy delivery\, quirky sense of humor and exuberant\, bubbly stage presence — always with a touch of silliness! — has made her a well respected member of New York’s jazz community. For the last decade\, Sarah has held down a weekly residency singing at the Top of the Standard Hotel\, with her trio (aka The Smoke Rings)\, whilst finding time to tramp around the world with Hungry March Band\, immersed in street performance and dance. Sarah produced her first studio album which was released in 2021. \nMore about Sarah: sarahkingnyc.com

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. On her right is Maria Kalesnikava\, a well-known musician who stepped in to be campaign\nmanager and later received a 12-year jail sentence\, which she is now serving.
