A ProtoScore

National Museum of Kenya Kipande Road, Nairobi, Kenya

A ProtoScore is a durational gathering of artists, scientists and members of the public in Nairobi. This is a mutually generative and creative process that fosters curiosity and connection. It is an experiment for scientists and artists to explore collaborations. It builds relational connections between artists and scientists through a non-hierarchical form of conversation, where each person in the conversation has an equal voice. The conversation format was created together in Kenya between artists and scientists.

Parliament (RSVP required)

The Segal Theatre The Graduate Center, CUNY, 365 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY, United States

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.
