DESCRIPTION:A workshop reading presented by murmuration theatre co. Tickets are available here. \nYes\, But I Have To is the story of a young couple\, Grafton and Emily\, who must navigate each other\, and themselves\, under claustrophobic circumstances. Something has gone horribly wrong. We know only that there has been fear and travel and loneliness and death — and now winter. Temporarily stranded in an abandoned cabin in the mountains\, Grafton and Emily are in the process of being distilled down to their barest selves. In examining the repercussions of trauma and its consequences on relationships\, the play raises the most universal of questions. Who are we\, exactly? Are we immutable? Can we be reimagined? How do we cope with sadness and fear and anxiety? Yes But I Have To is a unique theatrical contribution to the conversation about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and\, as such\, both topical and timely. \n“I wrote this show because I was interested in the processes that someone\, or in this case a couple\, goes through to deal with their traumatic grief and sadness\,” says Janney. “I wanted to put a microscope up to the panic and pain\, seeing what comes out the other side. It was an exercise that resulted in something that was really personally powerful and I’m hoping that by sharing these characters’ experiences\, the audience will feel that as well.” \nAddison Janney is a playwright living in Brooklyn\, NY.  He has written\, directed\, and produced original works in both New York City and Washington\, DC. \nMurmuration Theatre Company is an independent arts collaborative dedicated to discovering and investing in new theatrical talent — from emerging playwrights\, to unrepresented actors\, to early-stage and visionary directors\, to early-career technical and production staff. \nTheatre is an enormously impactful tool for change; Murmuration is dedicated to regularly producing work that unpacks issues of social and/or political relevance. We encourage our creative teams to expand the impact of productions beyond the stage.

This performance takes place during climate week NYC! \nAbout Unheard-of: Ford Fourqurean (clarinet)\, Matheus Souza (violin)\, Iva Casian-Lakoš (cello)\, and Daniel Anastasio (piano) are Unheard-of\, a Brooklyn-based clarinet\, violin\, cello\, and piano quartet performing dedicated to connecting new music to communities in New York and across the United States through the development and performance of adventurous programs using technology and interactive multimedia. Unheard-of is committed to the idea that new music belongs in every community\, and implements this mission through concerts and educational workshops throughout New York as well as on tour. Unheard-of originally started as a commissioning project by Ford and Daniel in 2014 to expand the chamber music repertoire for clarinet and piano. The group formed as a quartet in 2018 and has since grown into a nation-wide community across multiple artistic genres. With an approach that is open and welcoming of all voices\, Unheard-of strives to be a vehicle for development and growth for voices novel and experienced\, experimental and traditional\, uncomfortable and accessible. \nAbout the Cultural Ecologies Series: Unheard-of Ensemble\, in collaboration with the Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club\, features world premieres and cutting edge music by artists exploring climate change\, race\, technology’s impact on our mental health\, and feminism presented in a setting that brings people closer together in an open and adventurous way. These free performances will take place at the Gowanus Dredgers Bunker as well as their paddle-in movie location (both ADA accessible). The audience will be able to attend the performance either via canoe (reserved in advance via donation to the Dredgers)\, sitting on one of the Dredgers’ new docks\, or on shore via an accessible location.

On each of the scheduled Sundays\, from 1:30 to 3:30\, up to four featured poets will read for 10 to 15 minutes each. \nGerry reads poetry at the canal\nThe readings will be followed by open mic time limited to ten readers (one poem no longer than 3 minutes) who have signed up the day of the reading on a first come basis. \nReading will be outdoors at the Gowanus open shoreline and we invite you to engage with the emerging Gowanus Canal habitat as we witness the EPA conduct their SuperFUN/d cleanup program. Event may move to inside the boathouse if it begins to rain or we want to escape the summer heat. If other activity is occurring on the street or esplanade\, event may move inside. \nParticipation is free but we encourage donations to sustain the efforts of the Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club\, an advocacy stewardship organization who has been representing neighborhood interests for over two decades. \nMay5th: Safia Jama\, Ruh Danon\, Elaine Sexton\, JoAnne McFarland 19th:  Willa Schneberg\, Kristine Esser Slentz\, Silvia Thomas\, John Leo \nJune2nd: Cheryl Fish\, Anton Anton Yakovlev\, Leah Umansky\, KC Trommer 9th: Sarah Arvio\, Dennis Nurkse\, Mervyn Taylor\, Estha Weiner23rd: JoAnna Solifren\, Sara Marron\, Arden Levin\, Jason Koo30th: Scott Hightower\, Sara Sarai\, Bruce Whitacre\, Dan Kaplan \nJuly14th: Broadstone Books: Myra Malkin\, Meredith Trede\, Stephanie Laterza\, Marcia LeBeau21st: Dan Nester\, Carley Moore\, David Francis\, Linda Russo28th: Gerry LaFamina\, Maddy Barnes\, Sara Wallace\, Sarah Gutowski \nAugust4th: John Deming\, Miranda Beeson\, Amy Holman\, Jason Schneiderman11th: Jordan Franklin Matthew Thornburn\, Alex Long\, David Geoff18th: Myra Shapiro\, Richard Levine\, Carl Rosenstock\, Barbara Elovic25th: Linda Lerner\, Linda Kleinbub\, Ron Kolm\, Bill Considine \nSeptember8th: Abigail Welhouse Jiwon Choi\, Austin Alexsis\, Karen Neuberg15th: Michael Broder\, Indran Amirthanayagam\, Erin Lynn\, Amy Lemmon22th: Tina Cane\, Zoe Ryder White\, Caitlin McDonnell\, Denver Butson\, Terence Degnan29th: Neil Shepard\, Hilary Sideris\, Kristina Anderson\, Anthony Cappo \nOctober6th: Lisa Andrews\, Lisa Badner\, Karen Heldebrand\, Grace G13th: Broadstone Books: Susana H Case\, Lynn Mcgee\, Amy Barone\, Margo Stever\, Mary Maloney URL:https://gowanusdredgers.org/event/a-persistence-of-cormorants-poetry-reading/2024-09-29/ LOCATION:Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club Boathouse\, 165 2nd St\, Brooklyn\, NY\, 11231\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts,Community ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://gowanusdredgers.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/A_Persistence_of_Cormorants-crop.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240930T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240930T090000 DTSTAMP:20260606T171314 CREATED:20240501T143921Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240927T131108Z UID:10000175-1727679600-1727686800@gowanusdredgers.org SUMMARY:8th Annual Gowanus Dawn Reading DESCRIPTION:Our 8th annual Gowanus Dawn Reading!
