SUMMARY:StoryHarvest with Arm-of-the-Sea Theater
DESCRIPTION:Join us for StoryHarvest\, our annual food justice celebration featuring activities\, games\, music\, and food– all FREE! This year we are excited to bring Arm-of-the-Sea Theater back to Freedom Square with their performance ESTUARY TALES: The Life & Times of the Hudson River. \n\n\n\nRain location is indoors at the Sanctuary main hall at 3361 6th Ave. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nESTUARY TALES: The Life & Times of the Hudson River will begin at 3pm. This performance spectacle fuses live music\, movement and large-scale puppetry in a deep dive into the checkered history of “America’s River”. Giant sturgeon\, eels and river otters ply the stage\, alongside steamboats\, fishermen\, immigrants\, and citizen scientists. With whimsy and ingenuity\, the show reveals the Hudson River’s complex inner life and chronicles the long struggle to clean up the river.Designed to engage ages 5 to 95\, this production is 1 hour in length and presented by a six-member cast. \n\n\n\nFeaturing:\n\n\n\nArm-of-the-Sea is an arts ensemble that fuses visual storytelling with live music in large-scale works of mask and puppet theater. Founded in 1982 by Marlena Marallo and Patrick Wadden\, the company’s hybrid performance style channels the evocative power of the arts as a force for joy\, insight\, and community uplift. Their low-tech devices of theatrical enchantment illuminate relations between humans and the life-support networks of this blue-ocean planet.

SUMMARY:Be The Media! Workshop: the Process Behind Choreographing Grief
DESCRIPTION:Get a look behind the performance WAKE\, a celebratory ritual for grief that centers queer\, Filipino life and processes both personal and community loss through a combination of sound\, dance\, and video projection. This workshop is a collaboration with EMPAC with support from iEar Presents! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin composer Micaela Tobin\, choreographer Jay Carlon\, and their team to learn how they draw on personal experience and shared culture to generate interdisciplinary media in performance. Their collaborative project\, WAKE\, is a celebratory ritual for grief that centers queer\, Filipino life and processes both personal and community loss through a combination of sound\, dance\, and video projection. Tobin uses electronics to dissect her vocals\, creating dense sonic worlds that blur opera\, drone\, and noise; Carlon’s visual language stages bodily movement and video projection to mediate between performers\, audience\, and memory. Joining together\, screen video material from the work\, and lead attendees through aspects of their process. \n\n\n\nJust after the hour-long workshop\, hang out with the artists over a bite to eat. The following day\, September 24\, 7PM\, visit EMPAC to experience a live excerpt of the work in progress.  \n\n\n\nThis screening of WAKE footage is presented in partnership with iEAR Presents\, with support from RPI’s Department of Arts and the School of Humanities\, Arts\, and Social Sciences. iEAR Presents and EMPAC programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
