Led by Chloë Bass, Associate Professor at Queens College CUNY and co-director of Social Practice CUNY, alongside special guest Aaron Landsman, a distinguished performance-maker, writer, and educator, Wrong Criticism Magazine presents an opportunity to engage in productive mistakes. Delve into the realm of conceptual humor turned reality during a series of conversational evenings revisiting forms of faulty critical thinking, now more pertinent in 2024 than ever before.
Over the past decade, at least a thousand people (among them philosophers, office workers, professional dancers, scientists, students, and artists) have participated in Parliament sessions from Athens to NYC. For all its potency, Parliament resists any attempt to describe what it is. It resists authorship too. Choreographer and artist Michael Kliën prefers to say he discovered it, or wished for it, from within “a felt urgency that things are just not sustainable." The Martin E. Segal Center is proud to present the third New York iteration of Parliament in cooperation with Social Practice CUNY. RSVP required.
Choreographer and artist Michael Kliën will speak about Parliament and his practice of social choreography that he has developed at the Laboratory for Social Choreography at Duke University. He will be joined by SPCUNY Faculty Fellow Emily Raboteau and Cory Tamler, author of A Permanent Parliament: Notes on Social Choreography (2022). Co-presented with the Martin E. Segal Theatre Center. Open to the public, no RSVP required.
Book launch for SPCUNY Faculty Fellow Emily Raboteau's highly-anticipated collection of essays, LESSONS FOR SURVIVAL: Mothering Against "the Apocalypse" at the Center for Fiction.
Letters from Anne and Martin, a two-person short play, highlights the lives of Anne Frank and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., featuring the direct words from Anne’s diary and Dr. King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” Following the performance, the actors and an educator from the Anne Frank Center will engage with the audience about the parallels between the two figures and their moments in history, as well as how we can learn from Anne and Dr. King to combat intolerance today.
