SUMMARY:90s London\, Surveillance\, & Young Black Artists with Jamika Ajalon (ages 12–adult)
DESCRIPTION:For ages 12–adult \n\n“Skye Papers” may be Ajalon’s first novel\, but she is an experienced artist: a sonic slam poet\, musician\, multimedia performer and filmmaker with a deep back catalog\, evident on every page. From the rhythmic\, riffing\, incantatory prose to the novel’s cinematic crosscutting and recursive structure\, to the minutiae of Skye and her friends’ daily struggles as artists\, we get lost in a world that Ajalon renders with a precision and lyricism that elude her main character.” — New York Times \n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nJoin us for an interview with novelist Jamika Ajalon\, the author of Skye Papers\, followed by a Q&A with the audience\, and a reception. Ajalon will be in conversation with three members of the Library’s Teen Writing Group for a discussion focused on her inspiration\, her research\, and her writing process. This event will take place in the Library’s reading room. \n\nSkye Papers is a debut novel by Jamika Ajalon that follows three Black queer artists\, musicians\, and poets-Skye\, Scottie\, and Pieces-as they meet in New York and travel to London\, navigating the 1990s underground art scene as it becomes increasingly threatened by the rise of CCTV and state surveillance. \n\nAbout the author: Jamika Ajalon is an interdisciplinary artist and lecturer\, fortunate enough to have collaborated with many brilliant creatives across the globe. She is a creative polymath; a writer at base (poet\, novelist\, essayist)\, she uses a melange of interdisciplinary practice as her pen\, (filmmaker\, producer\, songwriter\, electronic/digital artist/archivist). She has a BA Film/Video from Columbia University\, and a Masters in Communications in Culture and Society from Goldsmiths University\,London \nAdvance registration is required for this event.

SUMMARY:Body Autonomy Workshop (ages 12–18)
DESCRIPTION:Through movement\, learn simple tools to understand and assert your own boundaries and needs\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER. \n\nBodily autonomy is the concept that individuals have the right to control what does and does not happen to their bodies. Full body autonomy means being empowered to make decisions about your health and future–without coercion or control by others. During this movement workshop\, participants will learn simple tools to understand and assert your own boundaries and needs\, under the guidance of Kyra Hauck & Lauren Hlubny\, co-directors of Danse Theatre Surreality (DTS). \nDTS works to cultivate performance and programming which emboldens women & tgnc artists of all colors and affirms the value of their diverse perspectives. With regular workshops and performances in the United States and France\, DTS diligently drives the conversation on inclusive gender rights by seeking to generate change in the arts community and beyond. Find out more about DTS here. Find out more about Hauck’s work on the Se risquer project here. \n\n\nAdvance registration is required for this event. Participation in this workshop is open to Library members\, and free of charge. If you are not yet a Library member\, but would like to participate\, please join the Library before this session.\n\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER.\n\n\nAbout Kyra Hauck: Kyra is a pluri-disciplinary choreographer\, dancer\, and teacher living in Paris\, where she has been creating since 2017. Her work is dynamic\, challenging\, and feminist. She began dancing at age 2\, tagging along to stretch class with her mother. Kyra has trained in styles ranging from classical ballet to contemporary and modern dance to contact improvisation with master teachers from the Eisenhower Dance Center\, the University of Michigan Dance Department\, and all around Paris. Kyra has performed in various BFA and MFA thesis works\, and with Ann Arbor Ballet Theatre and Ann Arbor Dance Works. In 2015\, Kyra moved to Paris to pursue a Master’s degree in translation. In 2016\, she met Lauren Hlubny\, and Danse Theatre Surreality was born. \n  \nAbout Lauren Hlubny: Lauren is a Brooklyn-based maker of dance-theatre. Hlubny’s professional directorial debut was at the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg\, FL—an original 40-minute surrealist dance-theatre work titled DALI. Since then\, she has created and mounted experimental works for communities in San Francisco\, New York City\, Seattle\, Boston\, Birmingham\, Portland (ME)\, Paris\, and Florence. Hlubny’s theatre training is in Stanislavski\, Grotowski\, and Meyerhold\, with a distinct focus on the intersection of movement and storytelling. Hlubny has an extended background in classical ballet\, art history\, and anthropological research. These\, along with experience in music and circus arts\, give Hlubny a unique and informed hold on conducting creative rehearsals and shaping cohesive productions where people can speak completely different artistic “languages” while pushing the boundaries of contemporary performance and multi-disciplinary art. \n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER. \n\n\nThis event is free for Library members\, and registration is required.
