IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Russian refugee children and their American-born friends unite in joyful resistance, offering unignorable anti-war messages and reimagining what it means to belong. SpaceBridge brings together Russian refugee children—who fled to the U.S. due to their families’ anti-war stance and now live in NYC shelters—with American peers to build a more welcoming world where their new friendships can thrive and grow. Created by Irina Kruzhilina, the piece centers children we seldom consider: Russian youth affected by the war in Ukraine. It follows their efforts to integrate into American society, where they often encounter suspicion, bullying, and a lack of empathy. For more information and tickets, visit: https://bit.ly/43urapU

A visually stunning modern circus show where brilliantly colored net-sculptures illuminate how human beings connect and catch each other when we fall. Noli Timere is a soaring aerial performance featuring eight extraordinary, multidisciplinary performers moving over and within a custom designed net sculpture, suspended up to 25 feet in the air. Conceived by Guggenheim Award-winning choreographer Rebecca Lazier in partnership with world renowned sculptor Janet Echelman, Noli Timere presents a seamless, symbiotic interaction between movement and sculpture in which both are continually reshaped and transformed by one another. Created with original music by acclaimed Quebecoise composer Jorane, Noli Timere fuses contemporary dance and avant-garde circus with art installation and advanced engineering, to question how one navigates an unstable world.

Here is a recap of the screening of Nobuko Miyamoto: A Song in Movement, a sweeping documentary that follows the life of 84-year-old artist-activist Nobuko Miyamoto and her work that changed Asian America forever. This screening was presented in recognition of Day of Remembrance which marks 83 years of racial reckoning since the signing of Executive Order 9066 that led to the wrongful incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. After decades of groundbreaking cultural work that unites communities and sets the bar for Asian American storytelling, Miyamoto reflected on a life that has bridged coasts, industries, families, and history. Featuring rare archival footage, NOBUKO MIYAMOTO: A SONG IN MOVEMENT is a story of a changing community told through the singular life of one of its most beloved storytellers.
