"Ahead of its September 27th performance at the Sacrum Profanum Festival in Krakow, Poland, SEM will present a free (donations appreciated) preview concert nearly identical to those from the ensemble’s early days in the 1970s, when founding members Petr Kotik, Julius Eastman, and Jan Williams presented avant-garde performances in Buffalo, Albany, and later New York and began collaborating extensively with John Cage.

π=3.14… continues “Dead End, Falling”
by Yoshiko Chuma/School of Hard Knocks

From Yoshiko
"Dead End , Don’t Let Me fall is the latest in a series of multimedia performance π=3.14… which was started in 2007 as a work perpetually in progress. It is a set structure under the concept “the invisible rehearsal". The series has been concerned with borders, displacement and violence. Endless peripheral border makes the notice ”We are not so different from one other."

Jennifer Monson/iLAND: in tow (premiere)



Members of TILT Brass Sextet perform material composed for them by composer and harpist Zeena Parkins on Saturday Sep. 24th and Thursday Sep. 29th. 

From Dancespace Project's Event Page:
"Initiated in 2013 by award-winning choreographer Jennifer Monson, ​in tow is an ongoing performance research project bringing together 10 artists from 4 different decades​. in tow​ straddles location, discipline​,​ and aesthetic to create an evolving working process driven by what ​each artist bring​s​ to​ it. The performance itself is a site for destabilizing ​the familiar, testing new ground, defining difference​,​ and creating a shared practice that resonates with layers of experience, points of view​,​ and perspective."

TILT Brass Sextet participates in the opening ceremony of a new public space at the eastern edge of Brooklyn Navy Yard. A project of Brooklyn Greenway Initiative, Naval Cemetery Landscape is a "publicly-accessible green space which will revitalize the native plant and pollinator populations in the region and its design includes a raised walkway to allow visitors to enter the space without disturbing the hallowed ground (of the former Brooklyn Naval Hospital Cemetery.)"

The Sextet will premiere a new site-specific work by Director Chris McIntyre. The new work, Runnegackonck Presencing, is named after the ancestral creek that meandered around the Hospital and Cemetery grounds on its way to the former Wallabout Bay.
