We invite you to join us at Traces (Lands), Theatre de L’Entrouvert (France) 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 A participatory project/performance by Elise Vigneron with a group of up to 40 people -- and feet cast in ice. Saturday, September 6, Hudson River Park, Pier 51 “TRACES” represents a human community, featuring thirty participants of all ages, through the image of a choir made of ice feet. A plastic and choreographic project that connects us and makes us sensitive to the world we live in. Through an ephemeral and collective performance conceived for a public space, Élise Vigneron in collaboration with circus artist Eleonora Gimenez questions the ecological stakes and the traces left by human beings as they pass through the world. The participants, their feet cast in ice by the artistic team, are the actors of this choreographed installation. The singularity of each member, their bodies and the individual stories, form a chorus and discover their collective identity. The ice mirrors the fragility of the world and its transformation into water, the ephemeral nature of human experience and narrative. https://lentrouvert.com/en/lands/ Trained in visual arts, theatre and circus, Elise Vigneron attended the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts de la Marionnette de Charleville-Mézières and graduated with honors in 2005. From 2005 to 2011, she worked as a puppeteer and set designer for the company Le Théâtre de Nuit directed by Aurélie Morin. She then joined the Vélo Théâtre, where she created the solo work Traversées, before founding Théâtre de L’Entrouvert in 2010. Since then, she has created many works, at her own theatre and in association with Espace Jéliote, TJP, CDN Strasbourg Grand-Est, Marseille’s Théâtre du Gymnase, for the 2019 Avignon Festival, Théâtre du Bois de l’Aune in Aix-en-Provence, the Théâtre Joliette in Marseille, among others.

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 Compagnie SenCirk (Senegal) 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 In partnership with Herbert Von King Park, Brooklyn, and Bridge Street Development Corporation, Franklin Avenue Open Streets. Plus, a kids workshops at the Macon and/or Marcy libraries in Bed-Stuy. Brooklyn Public Library with Urban Stages to co-produce the workshop. In ANCRAGE (‘anchoring”), indoor version; and DUO SENCIRK (an outdoor version), a man awakens and encounters an alien being. Performed by two acrobats, Modou Fata Touré and Ibrahima Camara, they measure, observe and confront each other, then mutually tame each other. When they find their anchorage, a world arises where nature and man merge, take root in each other, and harmony is created. Modou Fata Touré questions Europe and Africa: What if contemporary circus was not only European, and what if African circus was not exclusively traditional? Through ANCRAGE, Modou and Ibrahima reclaim the circus's African identity. The local materials of Senegal—bags of rice, traditional brooms, wooden ladders—join raw materials like earth, sand, aluminium, and straw. Sencirk's unique approach shares personal stories that West Africans—and others—can relate to, from clandestine migration to Europe to the experience of living as a talibé runaway. Founded in 2009 by Modou Fata Touré, SenCirk is Senegal's first circus organization, encompassing a company, school, and performance tent. Touré, who as a teenager, discovered circus arts at Sweden's Cirkus Cirkör, transformed himself from a child beggar to a leading figure in contemporary African circus. Rather than pursuing a career in Europe, he returned home to establish SenCirk, which uniquely blends traditional Senegalese culture with contemporary circus arts. The company employs 12 professional artists from diverse backgrounds and provides free workshops at shelters for street children and women. SenCirk maintains its African identity by crafting equipment from local materials and training future circus professionals while supporting children in need throughout Dakar.

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 Parini Secondo (Italy) 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 A choreographic and musical composition built around the jump rope repurposed as a rhythmic and choreographic percussive instrument. Morning September 6 and 7. Presented in partnership with the Art & Sport program of Théâtre de la Ville. Washington Square Park and The University Heights Campus of Bronx Community College, the Gould Memorial Library, the iconic building, designed by Stanford White. In the dual athletic and rhythmic nature of the jump rope, HIT elevates the intimate practice of training into a performative action: the hammering succession of rope strokes morphs into the drumbeat of rebellion against those forces that would have us lie motionless on the ground with our eyes closed. Parini Secondo focus on the sound produced by rope skipping, dissecting its timbral possibilities. The jumpers on stage perform a rhythmic and at the same time choreographic score in which single-unders, side-swings and double-unders are both athletic and musical elements: combined with voice and synthetic sounds, they harmonize into a true hit.

Encounter 's work in , at this year's edition of the Prelude in the Parks festival by The Segal Centre, presented in collaboration with .

Segal Theatre Center at The Graduate Center CUNY View Schedule & Location RSVP To Event Compagnie Basinga (France), with highwire artist Tatiana Mosio-Bongonga. September 4 and September 5, South Street Seaport Museum Plaza, 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm. Basinga's SOKA TIRA OSOA (literally "pulling the rope") takes its name from the traditional “tug of war,” a sport in which two teams pull on the opposite ends of a rope, each trying to drag the other team across a line drawn in the middle. But Basinga turns the experience into a collaboration between the artists and audience-participants. Tatiana-Mosio Bongonga performs her poetic, breathless, spectacular balancing act, accompanied by live musicians. "It takes many to be many." Compagnie Basinga’s Tatiana-Mosio Bongonga will carry out her breathtaking crossing in the South Street Seaport’s historic waterfront district, a feat of balance and imbalance, aided by her audience and the pop-up band’s auditory “ground track.” Basinga’s artistic practices are inseparable from the artists' social mandate: One of the world's rare women highwire performers, Bongonga has been organizing collective adventure skywalk aerial performances without a harness for over a decade. Wherever Basinga performs, she enlists the help of up to sixty local volunteers to stabilize the complex structure supporting the tightrope and help create a ceremony grounded in circus arts that combines music, acrobatics, and mutual trust. Beyond the company’s performances, Basinga conducts cultural and artistic projects in various settings, from hospitals to prisons, offering workshops in tightrope walking, costume design, and photography to promote personal development. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxmlCPPTPBQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONB1PIBN948 https://www.lebonbon.fr/paris/news/les-images-de-la-traversee-de-montmartre-par-funambule-tatiana-mosio-bongonga/ A link to a recent documentary on CIE Basinga, ARTE.TV Anchor 1 Location & Schedule

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.
