*Season afterparty with BIG GAY IDIOT DJ on Friday, October 28 at 9pm.
 
With C O M P R E S S I O N, Niall Jones continues a practice of dis/assembling the theatrical space. Trained as a dancer, the artist builds his work through scores that rely on circumventing mechanisms of language. Through this process, his work undermines what we take for granted about the theatre, its fixed architecture and temporality, and the relationship between bodies and materials within it.
 

Livestreaming and live captioning will be available to ticket holders on Friday, Oct 28 at 7:30pm.

Audio Description will be available via Assisted Listening System (ALS) headsets for the duration of the installation.

Kiki Ball

 
Legendary Shy Juicy, Mother Nicki Juicy, Icon Snookie Juicy presents The Pink Print Ball💗
 
We’re teaming up with our neighbors, The Alliance for Positive Change (formerly AIDS Service Center NYC) to bring to you, the Kiki Ball.
 
Emerging out of the historical House/Ballroom community, the Kiki scene is a highly organized and creative youth-led organization. It centers around so-called houses, with complex kinship structures, that function as vital support systems—support systems that the government and biological families often fail to provide. The underground scene is best known for its lavish balls, where performers present their unique looks and movement styles, competing in different categories for their respective houses.
 
Free and Confidential HIV testing will be available on-site for free entry.

We the Youth – Keith Haring Lecture Series

For this performance lecture movement-based performance artist, vocalist, urban farmer and writer, mayfield brooks, facilitates a space for children and young people to explore an embodied practice around decomposing grief, loss, listening, and deep belly laughter. Over the past four years brooks has been researching whales and the ways in which they move as a collective through their watery worlds, sing to each other, grieve the death of their children, and feed the oceans when they die–this process is called the whale fall.

Participants will play with whale sounds, be inspired by the whale fall’s ocean compost, and dance in collective pods as a means to move, imagine, and dream up watery worlds of our own. In this watery space of infinite possibilities we will playfully, and lovingly create spaces for our unique voices and bodies as individuals and as a collective.
We the Youth – Keith Haring Lecture Series invites children and their friends and families to meet luminaries who talk about ideas and social issues that are often left off of school curriculums.

This series is supported by The Keith Haring Foundation in honor of Keith Haring who collaborated with children throughout his life and believed in art’s ability to create a more accepting society.

ALOK on Gender invited by Puppies Puppies (Jade Guanaro Kuriki-Olivo).

Dr. Cornel West on Justice invited by Ariana Reines.

Fahim Amir on Animals invited by quori theodor.

Whale Fall: It’s all right to cry and laugh at the same time!
