Encounter 's work in , at this year's edition of the Prelude in the Parks festival by The Segal Centre, presented in collaboration with . We invite you to join us at Arch by Kaleider (UK) at the Down to Earth Festival 2025 Presented by CUNYstages Project, The Martin E. Segal Theatre Center at The Graduate Center CUNY View Schedule & Location RSVP To Event An installation opera. In partnership with NYC’s Master Voices and The Green-Wood Cemetery. Kaleider’s ARCH is an attempt to build a freestanding arch, made two-thirds of concrete and one-third of ice, witnessed by a vigilant choir of human voices. Touching audiences with themes of death, renewal, and hope, Arch points towards the extraordinary, yet flawed, systems humans create: language, economies, architectures, democracies – and, inevitably, to the impact of these systems on our ecosystem and ourselves. Kaleider's ARCH event unfolds under the open skies, a thought-provoking performance enchantingly accompanied by the watchful singers. A languageless score by Verity Standen accompanies a relentlessly physical performance, at times meditative, at others arresting and highly charged. During the performance, singers unobtrusively seated among the audience join the core singers’ voices, enlarging the impassioned focus on the task, and blurring the boundaries between performers and witnesses. Each singer leads a group in a different harmony, which interweaves with the others. Anchor 1 Location & Schedule

Encounter 's work in , at this year's edition of the Prelude in the Parks festival by The Segal Centre, presented in collaboration with . We invite you to join us at “Poetic Consultations,” a Down to Earth Festival-Théâtre de la Ville Collaboration at the Down to Earth Festival 2025 Presented by CUNYstages Project, The Martin E. Segal Theatre Center at The Graduate Center CUNY View Schedule & Location RSVP To Event FOUR VENUES, FOUR LANGUAGES, FOUR DAYS. In partnership with The Clemente, a Puerto Rican and Latinx cultural space rooted in the Lower East Side; Mount Sinai Hospital, Rivington Street branch; South Street Seaport Museum; Marcus Garvey Park, Harlem; and additional locations TBD. Open Call to NYC-based immigrant artists, dancers, and musicians. Presented in English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Wolof, and two other languages. Poetic Consultations are individual conversations between artists and members of the public. Each consultation takes place around a table: it begins with a free conversation and ends with the artist reading or singing a poem or song specifically chosen for the participant. At the end of the consultation, the participant receives a personalized poem or song in the form of a “poetic prescription.” Consultations are free 20-minute experiences, individual meetings based on listening, on time given to the other, on a moment to share life, poetry, music and dance. Poetic Consultations is a new practice that rethinks the relationship between the public and the performer, imagined by Emmanuel Demarcy-Mota, Director of the Théâtre de la Ville in Paris, and playwright, poet, and novelist Fabrice Melquiot. An unexpected meeting, face to face, in the flesh, between an actor, a musician, or a dancer and a person around poetry. A table and two chairs create intimacy. Equipped with a collection of over 100 poems, invented on the model of the medical dictionary of the same name, the actor chooses a poem from what has been said, the dancer a choreography, the musician a melody. A poetic consultation is a 20-minute individual conversation with an artist. It begins with a simple question: "How are you?" Based on the answer a poem, a dance or a music is selected by the artist as a "poetic prescription" and read or performed in the streets and public gardens of the city, wherever possible. Initiated as a means to combat isolation and create activities for artists during the first lockdown, the project has evolved in different forms, always remaining free of charge for the public.
