Love | Fortè, A Collective’s Memory Withholdings (Dance @ BAX)

Brooklyn Arts Exchange — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 16:43:53 +0000

Love | Fortè, A Collective’s Memory Withholdings May 3rd-5th, 2013  Friday-Saturday @ 8:00pm | Sunday @ 6:00pm Tickets: $15 General | $8 Low-Income Brooklyn Arts Exchange 421 Fifth Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11215 Love|Fortè’s work is rooted in movement/culture of the African Diaspora through bodies that intentionally and habitually hold a distinct language specific to their culture as African American women. This movement is rooted in named forms such as Be-Bop and Hip Hop as well as unnamed, coded states of being which are specific to African American culture. Memory Withholdings grew out of a year-long study that seeks to identify hidden traces of accumulated memories among African and African descendant communities who have undergone generations of suppression. As African descendant women, they have become rooted through culture — a culture retained notably in in the preparation of food where stories upon stories are held and passed among generations over the stove and at the Kitchen table. Love | Fortè posits that in memory there are signs that demarcate a common language. They’re asking how does the captive mind look in memory, and are there stories, hopes, dreams, desires, and fears that color it’s landscape, architecture, and geography?

El Regreso

Brooklyn Arts Exchange — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 16:46:30 +0000

El Regresso (the return) is the going back to the self, a reflection, a necessity. After working and investigating the individual journey within a large community of performers for so many years, Mariangela López is going back to her own body as an attempt to understand her own ideas from her own physicality and inner world. She is using the power of the group as a catalytic energy that will guide her through this voyage. In this process she is transposing the relationship of the group and herself; how can they be present in the solo performer? How can she become a vehicle and a mirror of their own dreams and ultimately find the ritual that allows total exposure to achieve body/mind emancipation? <a href="http://events.bax.org/professional/air-performances/el-regreso/" rel="nofollow">http://events.bax.org/professional/air-performances/el-regreso/</a>

FROM OBAMA TO OCCUPY: Works of Outrage from 2008 – 2012

Brooklyn Arts Exchange — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 16:20:14 +0000

FROM OBAMA TO OCCUPY: Works of Outrage from 2008 – 2012 curated by Jesse Phillips-Fein Friday & Saturday, January 18-19, 2013 @ 8:00pm hosted by Shanté Paradigm Tickets: $15 General | $8 Low-Income To purchase tickets, visit <a href="https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/918490" rel="nofollow">https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/918490</a> From Obama to Occupy: Works of Outrage from 2008-2012 is a sequel to the 2009 hit show, Requiem for W, Overture for O: Works of Conscience from 2000-2008. Even before we knew the outcome of the 2012 election, there was a vital need to reflect on how artists had responded to Obama and the political events of the past four years. Obama’s election highlighted racial discourse in various ways: contentious debates about a “post-racial society”, racist attacks by the Right, conflicting and ambivalent responses from the Left, and the differing emotions, expectations, achievements, and disappointments that his term has had for white people and people of color. From Obama to Occupy: Works of Outrage from 2008-2012 generates a space for art to be a powerful platform to engage deeply with the contradictions and questions that Obama’s presidency has raised.
