For this Open Studios, CPR 2023 Artist-in-Residence Beth Gill curates dancers who are mid-process in works that explore casually satisfying ideas, threshold crossings, deep sighs, and mundane magic.

Julia Antinozzi will show a work in progress investigating casual technique, classical forms, gesture, and mellow bravura; Cayleen Del Rosario will present a solo work in process; Melanie Maar will perform Generations in an intimate collaboration with Lindsay Packer that explores the reverberation of image from the sensual source through interplay between live video feedback and movement; and Jace Weyant will cross a threshold—enter and exit—with a deep sigh followed by laughter.

Biographies

Julia Antinozzi's choreographic work combines formal and experimental approaches to make compositionally specific, cinematic dreamscapes. She works with abstraction to manifest tangential ideas and casually satisfying experiences. Julia’s work has been presented by Triskelion Arts, Movement Research at the Judson Church, Jack Crystal Theater, and Spoke the Hub in NYC, nationally at CHOP SHOP in Seattle and Queer Spectra Arts in Salt Lake City, internationally in Copenhagen, and featured in online publications Synkroniciti Magazine, Apricity Press and Residual Believers. Julia was an Artist in Residence at The Floor, New Dance Alliance, and is currently in residence at MOtiVE Brooklyn. Julia is a performing collaborator with Boy Friday, The Creature, and Barbie Diewald, has worked with Juli Brandano, Phoebe Berglund, Anna Sperber, Javier Padilla and Shayla-Vie Jenkins, and has performed in repertory by Merce Cunningham and Bebe Miller. She received her BA from Smith College in Dance and Astronomy, and a Post-Graduate Diploma from the Copenhagen Contemporary Dance School.

Cayleen Del Rosario is a dancer and choreographer based in NYC. As part of her ongoing performance research, Cayleen has worked with artists Sharleen Chidiac, Elena Demyanenko, Andrea Geyer, Maya Lee-Parritz, I-ling Liu, Kyle Marshall, Tsuneko Tanuichi, and Alexa West, among others. Her work has been presented at Triskelion Arts’ Collabfest, Provincetown Dance Festival, CPR — Center for Performance Research Fall Movement, WAXworks, Truro Center for the Arts, The Tank, Movement Research at Judson Church, and many site-specific venues. Cayleen earned a BFA from studies at NYU Tisch and Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance, and is currently an MA candidate at The New York Graduate School for Psychoanalysis.

Melanie Maar is a New York and Vienna-based dance artist from Austria. She was awarded the 2015 Grant to Artists Award from the NY Foundation for Contemporary Arts. Her work grows from collaborations with dance, sound, and visual artists like Christian Schröder, Kenta Nagai, Anaïs Maviel, Laurel Atwell, Marilyn Maywald, Masters of Ceremony, luciana achugar, Daria Faïn and Anthony Braxton. In seeking methodologies outside of academic structure, she created and leads a DIY MFA and study group model for performers interested in the art/life process. Melanie is also working with people through Somatic Sexology. www.senseappealsessions.com.

Lindsay Packer plays with generative relationships between luminous color and ephemeral form in site-responsive work across disciplines. Her solo and collaborative performances and moving imagery have been featured in MoMA’s Modern Mondays series, Outpost Artist Resource's Fire Over Heaven series, Ann Arbor Film Festival and Rockaway Film Festival, among others. Past residencies include ISSUE Project Room, LMCC Arts Center at Governor’s Island, and the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation. Awarded both Fulbright and NYFA Fellowships, Packer received a BFA from RISD and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn.

Jace Weyant is a multidisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn. Her creative work stands at the intersection of the emotive and the mathematical, using both dance and technology to create otherworldly environments in which bizarre and fantastical scenes play out. She has shown work at Chez Bushwick, Fabled Narcissism, Summer Happenings Festival, Standard Vision Studios, Mono No Aware, and Astoria Film Festival, and has been an artist in residence at Theater Mitu, Chez Bushwick, and Impulstanz Festival.

Beth Gill (curator) creates multidisciplinary works that are captivating, cinematic timescapes, the product of long term collaborations with celebrated artists. Her dances are serious, slow moving, and chiseled; meditative experiences poised between performance and visual art. They feel like pressurized objects sustaining tension and seeking release. Paradoxically her work is both intimate and alienated, sensual and ascetic. She dreams and visualizes her dances, transforming her unconscious into iconographic choreography. The imagery and symbolism resonates, inviting audiences into associative thought. In this way her work is in dialogue with contemporary psychology and folk traditions.

For this Open Studios, Malcolm-x Betts assembles artists that are reaching through and toward something very specific in their practice, and which inspire his own work. With interest in archiving and distribution, Betts frames this Open Studios as a portal into process, and a decentralized presentation of the undone.

Bryanna Bradley will get rigorous and conjure something on the move; Jordan Deal will show an excerpt of their work-in-progress piece MOMMA i RODE THE BEAST! through the sun of fawnings/dust devil/waterspout, a transportation into the indulgences of undercurrents, dark matter, and worlds that bubble through the cracks of streets, swamps, and seas that shape our social and political landscapes and store themselves in the BODY; BriFreí will show an ongoing work in progress titled “Inntertainment Purposes Only” featuring experimental original sounds; and Nazareth Hassan will share a collaboration with Sierra D. Leverett, 2 eleven 2, which brings choreography, music-making, and text together through children's hand games and song.

Biographies

Bryanna Bradley is a conceptual artist whose medium is the body in rigorous live performance. Devised theater, improvisational dance, and intentional ritual are used in their practice to explore tons of thoughts, theories, and intellectual hunches. Bryanna is the Creatrix of Gastrointestinal Epigenetic Somatic Theory (G.E.S.T- pronounced like gesture), a field of study concerning ways ancestral information trauma, healing modalities, and physical dis-ease can travel through one’s genetic code and be expressed through that individual’s digestive system, more specifically, the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. G.E.S.T unpacks/articulates the intersection of digestion, ancestry, and travel.  Bryanna is no stranger to cross-disciplinary collaborations; they were a lead performer of MacArthur Genius Award winner Tavares Strachan's exhibition The Awakening at the New York Marian Goodman Gallery, performed their own work buck: an exploration of black masculinity in Nick Cave's exhibition Until at MASS MoCA, and collaborated with former Boston Poet Laureate Danielle Legros Georges on a performance of her poem Intersection. Other beautiful collaborations are her work with the after-image (HOUSE OF AMERICAN ACTIVITES, Let's Exorcize! A Community Catharty Party) and Eastline Theater (In the Next Room). Bryanna loves to think big and sweat hard.

Jordan Deal (aka ROSEKILLJUPITER) is a Philadelphia-based multidisciplinary practitioner and alchemist. Their investigative practice uses performance, sound, and image as a conduit between unseen forces and the materializations of socio-political structures. They have been investigating the use of storytelling and gathering as the accumulation of urban mythbuilding, mapping, memory, and the use of vocal and movement based improvisation as a generative and investigative tool that harnesses and disperses CHAOS as a subversive material. Through the use of collected sound field recordings, video/film documenta, and real-time autobiographical myth fabrication, Deal explores dialectics, borders and territories; blackness as creative destruction; historical artifacts; the tropes of superhero/villain; undead knowledge; and counter-active channels of potentiality that exists against global colonialism and imperialism’s frameworks and mappings. Deal has shown work with Protocinema & Protodispatch (2022 & 2023), Fleisher-Ollman gallery (PHL), Brick Theater (NYC), Vox Populi (PHL), Fleisher Art Memorial (PHL), Grizzly Grizzly (PHL), Bartram’s Gardens (PHL), and No Tomorrow Underground (ATL), amongst others. Last year, Deal was selected as a Fall 2022 Research Fellow at Amant Foundation in Brooklyn, where they continued their investigations of chaos force. They have been included in press such as the ARTNews, ArtBlog, Titled House Review: Spring 2021 Issue and Grizzly Grizzly: In Dialogue.

Bronx native BriFreí is a creator driven by spiritual expansion. Using their performance art practice as a means to maintain physical, spiritual, and mental health, BriFrei’s whimsical & tragic acts take the witness on a wild yet healing trip.

Nazareth Hassan is a writer, director, and musician. Recent works include Memory A at Museo Universitario del Arte Contemporaneo in Mexico City, Untitled (1-5) at The Shed, and VANTABLACK at Theatretreffen Stueckemarkt in Berlin. Recent collaborations include Malcolm-X Betts, z tye, Nile Harris, Alex Romania, nicHi douglas, Clifford Prince King, and Mariyea. Hassan was the resident dramaturg at the Royal Court Theatre in 2022, and is a 2023 Jerome Artist Fellow.

Sierra D. Leverett is an actress, singer, and artist from Phoenix, AZ who is living her passions in Brooklyn. Her latest works have graced the stages of The Shed (Untitled 1-5), Soho Rep (A Map to Nowhere (things are)), and JACK (TJ Loves Sally 4 Ever, a 2020 New York Times Critic’s Pick). She deeply enjoys engaging in shows, workshops, and challenging processes across the city that engage her Blackness, queerness, ever morphing understanding of Self and the forces that may move around and within her. 

Malcolm-x Betts (curator) is a New York-based visual and dance artist who believes that art is a transformative vehicle that brings people and communities together. His artistic work is rooted in investigating embodiment for liberation, Black imagination, and directly engaging with challenges placed on the physical body. He has a community engagement practice allowing artistic freedom and making art accessible to everyone, and has recently worked with undocumented immigrants on Bronx Speaks: Dreamers with the Bronx Museum. Betts developed and presented work at La MaMa Umbria International (Spoleto, Italy), La MaMa ETC, Gibney Dance Center, Movement Research at Judson Church, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), The Bronx Museum, and Dixon Place. Betts has shown excerpts of Midnight Glow: Kinfolk at Brooklyn Arts Exchange (BAX), Movement Research at Judson Church, and Draftworks at Danspace Project. Kinfolk Vol 2: Butch Queen was presented by Judson Arts in November 2021. Betts has performed in works by luciana achugar, Jonathan González, Snoggybox, Nile Harris, and Alex Romania, and was a 2018 Movement Research Artist-in-Residence.

Benjamin Akio Kimitch curates Open Studios, which offers artists a platform to experiment with new work in an informal setting. For this evening, Benjamin has invited contemporary artists who are good company and deeply curious.

Vincent Chong will share a collaboration with Justin Wong exploring movement, gay shit, sound and calligraphy, titled the shards of our psyches washed to the bottom of the sea after what historians theorize was a grand spectacle of bukkake following some form of a dodgeball game. Symara Johnson will share a new work that will be a spontaneous performance practice moving through ideas quickly, generating on the spot, and moving with full abandon. This is a time for ultimate play, diving into the unknown together. Jacob Walse-Dominguez, a descendant of the colonized Tagalogs, begins the possibility of a neo-tradition of spiritual and communal dance. In a post-colonial society such as the Philippines, glimmers of Indigenous practices remain within Catholicized folk practices and now, through the embryo of this neo-traditional ritual.

Biographies

I, Vincent Chong, am a Queer, mixed-race, Chinese American painter, Chinese calligrapher, seal carver, and performance artist. I have been described by my dear friend, sorority sister, convent sister, and frequent collaborator Wo Chan aka The Illustrious Pearl as a multidisciplinary prop queen, and I find this title to be quite fitting. My practice draws from many different and interconnected interests, but the one which is currently drawing much of my focus is about lineage—how it is that we pass skills, knowledge, emotional understanding, intuition etc. between people throughout time.

Symara Johnson’s movement practice is multifaceted and draws from a variety of sources. Her foundations in dance began with trainings at the Beijing Dance Academy and SUNY Purchase’s Conservatory of Dance, as well as  time studying Caribbean dance techniques in Trinidad and Tobago. At present, she is particularly interested in combining the methodologies of folk, improvisation, and modern dance to explore her American and West Indian heritage and merging these movement practices with rigorous archival research.

Jacob Walse-Dominguez is a dedicated folk-arts performer and cultural worker mentored by traditional and contemporary culture-bearers from both the Philippine and Indonesian homelands and diaspora. Known and focused on embodying ethno-choreographical and ethnomusical practice to resist colonial indoctrination.

Justin Wong is a NY-based artist, educator, researcher, and arts worker. He has collaborated on choral and orchestral compositions and performances by artists including Holly Herndon, Lyra Pramuk, and Colin Self that have been performed at the Wiener Festwoche in Vienna, with the Rundfunkchor and Rundfunk Sinfonieorchester Berlin, and MoMA PS1. His performance practices span voice, movement, electronic and cello performance. 

Benjamin Akio Kimitch (curator) is an artist and producer living in Brooklyn, NY. He recently was a visiting artist at the Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreography at Florida State University and a Movement Research Artist-in-Residence. His choreography has been presented by The Noguchi Museum, and commissioned by Danspace Project, The Kitchen Dance and Process and The Shed as part of Open Call 2022. Alongside his artistic practice, Kimitch is a producer for Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) at the World Trade Center.

For Open Studios, Ethan Philbrick gathers a group of artists and scholars working in and around sound to explore an idea of “listening-writing” alongside one another. Sol Cabrini will present a single from her new album, “Ordinary Delusions,” while engaging both the mechanical and lyrical input that went into the project; Isaac Jean-François will turn to the 1979 Sister Sledge track “Lost in Music” to examine how black art aestheticizes social and internalized experiences of loss; Meesh Fradkin will offer a sound art piece and an accompanying critical meditation on disability arts; and Isaac Silber will investigate the art of microphone placement, exploring how subtle changes in orientation bear deep affects upon the practice of listening to and inscribing sounds. Each of these artist-scholars are currently in the midst of doctoral study and this Open Studio will offer them an opportunity to share their sonic and textual research beyond academia’s institutional enclosures and genre conventions.

CPR Programs Manager Regine Pieters brings together an eclectic group of artists with distinct backgrounds and movement practices to share works-in-progress, while cultivating a safe environment for thorough feedback and digestion. In addition to influencing her own artistry and practice, Elizabeth Dishman, morgaine de leonardis, and Myssi Robinson have significantly opened her eyes to the beauty and complexities that exist in art creation, performance, and community building in order to foster a greater sense of belonging. Regine is intrigued by interdisciplinary artists who push the boundaries of our lived experiences, and her curation is a response to the needs of time, space, and resources of artists that she is in continuous conversation with.

morgaine de leonardis is an irish-italian-american dance artist, producer, and accessibility practitioner. She gathers people in space to build & facilitate a wide range of experiences. Such as intimate performances, small conversations, workshares, exhibitions, installations, dining experiences, parties, and more. website coming soon (smiley face)

Dishman + Co. Choreography is a Brooklyn-based contemporary dance company. Through a rigorous practice/ethic of deep listening, Artistic Director Elizabeth Dishman and collaborating dancers, composers, musicians, and designers pursue new embodied languages that amplify each singular voice while generating a collective energy. Complex social/relational challenges reverberate as we work to transform multiple, sometimes competing expressions into a vibrant counterpoint. The choreography gradually builds a responsive, connected social space that flexibly holds and nourishes the varied, layered voices within it. This is the kind of world we would like to inhabit. Founded in 2001, Dishman + Co. has been presented by/at Gibney Dance Center, Center for Performance Research, BRIC Studio, Marjorie S. Dean Little Off-Broadway Theatre, 100 Grand, Triskelion Arts, 7 Stages, Emory University, Belhaven University, and Auburn University, among others. Our work has been described by critics as “complex skeins and cerebral dreams”; “bodies in rigorous concentration”; “playful and provocative…raw humanity seeps in.” Dishman + Co. is currently building a new full-length work entitled Belly, to premiere in 2023. www.DishmanAndCo.org

Myssi Robinson is a performer and maker from Powhatan lands / Richmond, VA She has interpreted many dances and is currently orienting to authorship, boundarylessness and deeper healing. Myssi's practice involves creative archiving, mixed-media marking and object / spatial design. Intuition and empathy play with maximalist instinct to give life to the art that she makes. It whispers may we all heal. Gratitude to Carolyn Johnson and Darrin Robinson for her life and abilities to create freely within it.

2022 CPR Artist-in-Residence ryen heart has selected a group of artists to share their work, in an attempt to extend alchemical encounters out in the world through a curatorial process. Edythe Woolley, Kate Williams & Jack Meriwether, and Maxi Hawkeye Canion have expanded ryen’s sense of what is possible through their work of cultivating unexpected, queer, transformative relations of care with objects, other humans, and the invisible world.

Edythe Woolley is a London born performance artist living and working in Queens, NYC. They use somatic movement inquiries, drawing, video and object-based improvisation to trouble the edges and hierarchies between human bodies, affect and object-hood, creating mythic and emotional landscapes structured by feeling. Edythe’s work has been commissioned by The Yard Theatre London, SPILL Festival Ipswich and supported by Arts Council England. In 2022 Edythe was featured in ArtForum. Lead by curiosity, process and collaboration is an important part of Edythe’s practice. Edythe has taught workshops at universities and schools across the UK and they were a Teaching Fellow at Al-Quds Bard College, Palestine (2021).

Edythe graduated with a Masters in Fine Arts from Bard College New York (2022) and holds a Bachelor Degree in English Literature and Performance with honors from Queen Mary University London (2015).

Kate Williams is a performance artist, mover, choreographer, and seamstress/maker of many different types of clothing and wearable things, from Connecticut who now lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Kate’s work primarily centered around the exploration of her Asian-American identity. Her dance career started at Bard College. Over the past four years, through movement and clothing design, she has begun to explore the question she has asked herself since she was a child: “what does my Asian-American identity meant to me?” As a transracial adoptee Kate’s conceptualizations about her racial identity were heavily influenced by her proximity to whiteness. This is a large part of her choreographic process. Her work is narrative-based from personal experiences.Through the creation and playing with different characters derived from the layers of personal identity, Kate uses her skills of sewing to dress the works that she creates, which adds a sculptural element to the movement. She frequently collaborates with Jack Meriwether, an incredible poet, performance artist, and actor, located in Brooklyn, New York. Jack is a part of, and collaborator in, the current series of works that Kate has begun.

Maxi Hawkeye Canion (they/them) is a desert raised Improviser/Movement Artist based in Brooklyn, NY. They are originally from El Paso, TX. Sifting through their innerverse, they are continuously expanding upon their interests in visual design, sound and duration. Their work is crafted through a Black/Latinx and Queer lens and is a communication with their subconscious and culmative histories. Community and collaboration is integral to their process.
