SUMMARY:A Persistence of Cormorants Poetry Reading
DESCRIPTION:A Persistence of Cormorants is a summer-long poetry reading series on our shoreline featuring accomplished and exceptional poets from the New York area\, many of who live in Brooklyn. 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. \nMay4th: Gregory Crosby\, Brad Vogel\, Melinda Wilson\, Anthony Cappo18th: Scott Hightower\, Abigail Wellhouse\, Kristina Andersson\, Estha Weiner 25th: Michael Broder\, James Diaz\, Kristine Esser Stenz\, Sarah Sari \nJune1st: Susan Cohen\, Sarah Wallace\, Jiwon Choi\, Caroline Hagood 8th: Jo Solfren\, Amy Lemmon\, Sam Cha\, TBA22nd: Bruce E.

SUMMARY:Street / Art Gowanus walking tour: Women's March Theme
DESCRIPTION:Rich Garr leads this comfortable open-air exploration through the Gowanus waterfront. He is a longtime area collage artist focusing on public art and community. These walks respond to both current events and history\, and a central component of his interdisciplinary collage art practice. These monthly public walking tours focus on art in and about the streets\, with histories layered into the experience. They’re carefully planned\, but unscripted and collaborative. Always fresh. Check @GothamSideWalks on Instagram for monthly themes- now announced in advance. Feel free to propose themes there\, too! \nTickets for these monthly Brooklyn walks often sell out. So try early. They cannot be purchased after 8am on the morning of the walk. \nGuild\, Captain Eyeliner\, RaeBK\, Billy Barnacles and other street art is often featured. So are historical landmarks (you all know about the Battle of Brooklyn\, right?)\, architectural gems\, hidden art spaces\, art by anonymous “green guerillas\,” and renowned graffiti writers. While old pollution lingers\, so do new issues surrounding gentrification and re-zoning. The area is changing rapidly\, and this tour offers real-time information & insight. Walks pass historic businesses\, hip new bars & cafes\, and quirky art & recreational spaces (i.e. shuffleboard\, climbing and ax throwing)… with plenty to taste and see before or after. Walks have been attended by a mix of tourists and locals alike for over a decade!

At its core is Olive’s journey\, reflecting the synergy between personal healing and climate action.

SUMMARY:Street / Art Gowanus walking tour
DESCRIPTION:Local artist Rich Garr leads this exploration through the Gowanus waterfront. He is a longtime area artist focusing on public art and community. This walking tour is a multi-sensory collage featuring art\, and responding to the area’s renowned history and current events. December’s theme is GIFT. We’ll have unique shopping opportunities\, but it’s more than that! \nSwoon\, Mast\, Guild\, Wolf Tits and other funky street artists are typically featured. So are historical landmarks\, architectural gems\, hidden art spaces\, and the work of anonymous “green guerillas” and graffiti writers. While old pollution lingers\, so do new issues surrounding gentrification and re-zoning. The area is changing rapidly\, and this tour features real-time information and insight. This route changes by the month\, but always passes quirky art and recreational spaces (climbing\, shuffleboard\, ax throwing\, etc.). Local artists and businesses are always highlighted- classic pillars and young innovators alike. \nWe walk after quick introductions at 2:00. The walk is between 1.5 – 2 hrs. Check address location to find where the tour starts (route always changes!). \nTickets often sell out\, and cannot be purchased after 8am on the morning of the walk… so try early!

SUMMARY:Jos Prol: ARRIVALS
DESCRIPTION:The Gowanus Dredgers are proud to present “ARRIVALS” by Joshua Prol. \nJos Prol was born in the Garden State\, fifteen miles west of the Hudson River. \nSince early childhood he explored pockets of nature nestled in urban sprawl and paddled on waterways of the New York Metropolitan area like the Passaic\, Raritan and Bronx Rivers. This fascination continued when he moved to New York in 2009 and ultimately led him to the home he found as a member of the Gowanus Dredgers. \nInterests in mathematics\, artistic expression and construction led him through an education in architecture and a career in structural engineering. Technical experience with the built environment\, deep interest in the rhythms of nature and unique location in a place where all meet in a dramatic way has inspired his new work. \nHe explores the relationship of things comprehensively ordered by human hand with bodies guided by forces beyond human control. He looks for patterns of order that may exist in fields that initially present themselves as chaos. He wonders whether a human individual has more similarities with a piece of driftwood that floats into the Gowanus Canal than we might think. \nJos Prol: ARRIVALS \nReception: November 9 (5-8pm)\nOpen 1-5 PM Saturdays in November [9\, 16\, 23\, 30] or by appointment

SUMMARY:BEHEMOTH - Poetry Night
DESCRIPTION:Join Gowanus poet Brad Vogel and friends at the Gowanus Dredgers Boathouse at 165 2nd Street\, Brooklyn\, for BEHEMOTH\, a poetry reading after dark wrapped in the coils of Leviathan\, a giant driftwood sculptural installation by artist Jos Prol (both leviathan and behemoth are primordial monsters mentioned in the ancient Book of Job).

SUMMARY:Harmony 3: Sequoia Trio
DESCRIPTION:Harmony 3 is an NYC-based trio of dynamic musicians bringing a contemporary perspective to the classic ensemble of oboe\, clarinet\, and bassoon. Join them for a ‘mini’ concert\, where they’ll perform music including Jenni Brandon’s Sequoia Trio\, inside the large “Leviathan” artwork by Jos Prol. \nSaturday November 23rd\, 30 minute performances at 5pm and 6pm \nHarmony 3 is Katelyn Simone (oboe)\, Ella Avni-Levi (clarinet)\, and Melissa Kritzer (bassoon). \nEach movement of The Sequoia Trio (oboe\, clarinet\, bassoon sheet music) takes a quote about Sequoia trees from John Muir’s book The Yosemite and uses it to inspire the music. The opening waving pattern creates the gentle breeze as the growth of the tree starts in the bassoon\, moving through the clarinet and is carried all the way to the top of the tree through the oboe.   Movement two is sassy and jazzy\, describing the kind of resilient attitude that young trees must maintain in order to survive. “The Three Graces” plays on the idea of the three instruments in the ensemble and Muir’s own reference to Greek mythology. Finally in “The Noble Trees” the instruments play a hymn-like tribute to the largest living things on earth. The two “Tree Interludes” represent the individual voice of a tree and its story.

SUMMARY:Brooklyn Folk Festival: Banjo Toss Competition
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, as part of the Brooklyn Folk Festival \, contestants gather on the banks of the fetid Gowanus Canal to see who can throw a banjo the farthest in the – BANJO TOSS: BANJO THROWING COMPETITION! The special “throwing banjo”\, attached to a rope is tossed into the canal\, a federally designate Super Fund site. The marked rope pays out\, showing how far the banjo has been tossed. It is then hauled back in for the next throw. \nThe Brooklyn Folk Festival is presented each year by the Jalopy Theatre & School of Music\, a grassroots Red Hook\, Brooklyn community space that is a music venue\, music school\, and record label.  We are excited to support the Banjo Toss event activity so please stop by and join the fun! \nWe are told the best preparation for this competition is to attend a show at the Brooklyn Folk Festival so purchase tickets now before they are sold out.  While bearded men and women are growing in popularity as more people live\, work and play in our Gowanus neighborhood\, we are assured by the organizers that beards are optional. Our amazing collection of competitors reinforces the Dredgers theme of inclusion so stop by to cheer our competitors or compete in the toss as well!

This fascination continued when he moved to New York in 2009 and ultimately led him to the home he found as a member of the Gowanus Dredgers. \nInterests in mathematics\, artistic expression and construction led him through an education in architecture and a career in structural engineering. Technical experience with the built environment\, deep interest in the rhythms of nature and unique location in a place where all meet in a dramatic way has inspired his new work. \nHe explores the relationship of things comprehensively ordered by human hand with bodies guided by forces beyond human control. He looks for patterns of order that may exist in fields that initially present themselves as chaos. He wonders whether a human individual has more similarities with a piece of driftwood that floats into the Gowanus Canal than we might think. \nJos Prol: ARRIVALS \nReception: November 9 (5-8pm)\nOpen 1-5 PM Saturdays in November [9\, 16\, 23\, 30] or by appointment

SUMMARY:Street / Art Gowanus walking tour
DESCRIPTION:Local artist Rich Garr leads this exploration through the Gowanus waterfront. He is a longtime area artist focusing on public art and community. This walking tour is a multi-sensory collage featuring art\, and responding to the area’s renowned history and current events. This month the walk starts at Shelsky’s (4th Ave / 10th St) and will end at the boathouse\, where artists will be on-site painting canoes. \nSwoon\, Mast\, Guild\, Wolf Tits and other funky street artists are typically featured. So are historical landmarks\, architectural gems\, hidden art spaces\, and the work of anonymous “green guerillas” and graffiti writers. While old pollution lingers\, so do new issues surrounding gentrification and re-zoning. The area is changing rapidly\, and this tour features real-time information and insight. This route changes by the month\, but always passes quirky art and recreational spaces (climbing\, shuffleboard\, ax throwing\, etc.). Local artists and businesses are always highlighted- classic pillars and young innovators alike. \nWe walk after quick introductions at 11:00. The walk is between 1.5 – 2 hrs\, & ends near the Gowanus Dredgers Boathouse. Meet at Shelsky’s\, a great place to pick up some coffee and a snack if you want it for the walk. \nTickets often sell out\, and cannot be purchased after 8am on the morning of the walk… so try early!

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.

SUMMARY:Yes\, But I Have To: A workshop reading presented by murmuration theatre co.
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.
