SUMMARY:Blue Lightning Ghost Train: Inpatient Program 1
DESCRIPTION:@CPR DOUBLE FEATURE\nUnder the Hood: Fiducial Romance by geo blake\nBlue Lightning Ghost Train: Inpatient Program 1 by Kerosene Jones\nCPR – Center for Performance Research\nSaturday\, May 10 at 7:00 PM\nTickets $0-$25\, pay what you can. \nJoin us Saturday\, May 10 for a double feature of new performance works by geo blake and Kerosene Jones presented at CPR – Center for Performance Research\, for the artists’ MFA thesis projects in the Performance and Interactive Media Arts (PIMA) Program at Brooklyn College. Proceeds go to Bluestockings Cooperative\, who will be providing Fentanyl and Xylazine testing strips on-site to attendees. \nThrough an interplay of live performance and mediated fragments\, Under the Hood: Fiducial Romance\, by geo blake featuring Alanna Archibald\, examines the intimacy embedded in economies of care\, trust\, and extraction. Merging movement\, voice\, transducers\, and projected imagery\, and drawing from the iconography of the automobile as both a site of fetishization and labor\, Under the Hood engages with themes of objectification\, autonomy\, and the blurred lines between maintenance and possession. \nBlue Lightning Ghost Train: Inpatient Program 1 by Kerosene Jones is the first phase of an experimental song\, video\, and performance cycle using archival materials to explore queer responses to harm reduction\, particularly in regards to the ongoing opioid crisis\, and drawing from Jones’s personal experiences with opioid addiction. The development of the Blue Lightning Ghost Train series has received support from New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA)\, and a CUNY Social Practice Fellowship\, and features mix engineering by Bassel Al-Rahim. \nTickets can be purchased here!

SUMMARY:Choosing to Remember: Climate Change through Embodied Witnessing and Co-Creating
DESCRIPTION:A participatory assembly led by SPCUNY Fellow and Artist Chloe Smolarski; Tasha Darbes\, ethnographer; and Edge Effect Media Group. \nRemember: the planet is an archive. On April 24th\, join together with people of different experiences as we engage the climate crisis through art\, embodiment\, and conversation. Participants will interact with archival material as interlocutors\, as they observe one another’s stories of climate change effects. \nThis assembly will contribute oral histories to an archive of collective grief\, as we recover the past\, acknowledge the present\, and dream about the future of our climate. Embedded within and inspired by the exhibits “Holding Water” and “When Home Leaves You: Archiving Living Memories of Climate Change\,” our space centers collective grief\, as a way to transcend alienation and imagine responses. \n

SUMMARY:Choreographies of Survival: A Black Feminist Climate Conversation with Tao Leigh Goffe and Emily Raboteau
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for “Choreographies of Survival” a Black feminist climate conversation between two SPCUNY alumni and authors Tao Leigh Goffe and Emily Raboteau who\, although starting from different frameworks\, both shine a light on the intersections of race and the ever-changing contours of climate risk in their new books. Whether it is through countermapping history or narrating the lived experience of Black parenting in an age of racialized pollution and policing\, these books bring forward the myriad ways humans and humanity are rearticulating their relationship to a sociopolitical and environmental climate in perpetual crisis. The conversation will be moderated by Kendra Sullivan (Director of the Center for the Humanities). \nThe event will be followed by a book signing with the authors. Registration required.

SUMMARY:OUR STUDIES SHOW Session 7
DESCRIPTION:FREE/NON-MONETARY \n\nLead by SPCUNY alumni Esther Neff of PPL\, OUR STUDIES SHOW stages collective philosophy as a form of theatre. It is a play about/of/at thinking. Considering our inhabitation of our own body-minds as legitimate empirical study (e.g. “instances of human being/thinking”) and our intuitions\, experiences\, and ideas as important philosophical contributions\, we practice complex thought together through a series of in-person gatherings. We (those assembled) dig deeply into metaphysical and conceptual problems. Everyone is welcome. No assumed “knowledge\,” or intellectual “background” needed. The primary task here is simply to compose and perform complex inquiries together. This is not a reading group\, it is (a) “play.” \n\n\nThrough the first three sessions in Fall of 2024\, collective bodies composed the form of an inquiry: \n1) how are “human beings” related to “nature”?\n2) how does what actual embodied persons believe about this question “matter”?\n\n3) How shall we evaluate “beliefs” on grounds other than whether or not they are “true” or “scientific”? \nSpring 2025 sessions will involve “theoretical dramaturgies” (scores for thinking and theorizing together) which re-phrase\, re-frame\, and re-iterate such inquiries\, particularly in relation to “biological” vs. “cultural”  senses of sex and gender\, de-alienation and “settler surrender\,” and the role of doxastic logics (belief systems) in collective self-recognition. \nMasks are required for the in-person session. The space and bathroom are accessible to those using wheelchairs or other mobility aids. ASL interpretation available on request. Please e-mail eneff@gradcenter.cuny.edu with any questions.

SUMMARY:Mourning Machine
DESCRIPTION:Mourning Machine is a low-stakes participatory ritual designed to honor the history and resilience of the NYC theater community/ies during a time of uncertainty and reconfiguration. The event will feature Coffin Karaoke\, open mic eulogies\, lasagna\, drinks\, clown-tears\, and more. All are welcome. \nMourning Machine is part of an ongoing research & performance project about the “practice” of mourning. It is a communal strategy for healing from the harmful aspects of our profit-driven culture. \nThursday\, December 19th 6:30pm-9:30pm\nat the Martin E. Segal Theatre Center\n1st floor of the CUNY Graduate Center\n365 Fifth Ave\, New York\, NY 10016 \n\nEdge Effect is a “think and do tank” that creates participatory experiences for individuals to share knowledge across personal\, cultural\, and disciplinary boundaries. Co-founded by dramaturg Jess Applebaum and director/scenographer Nic Benacerraf\, EE’s process is deeply rooted in the edge-blurring practices of devised theater. Each project unites a polydisciplinary community to study a transcendent issue of our time\, who then creates original multimedia performances for new communities to deepen the investigation. \n*This project is made possible in part with funds from Creative Engagement\, a regrant program funded by DCLA\, NYSCA\, and the Howard Gilman Foundation\, and administered by LMCC.
