SUMMARY:The Exponential Festival Presents: Natural Studies
DESCRIPTION:The Exponential Festival and The Brick present\nNatural Studies\nby thingNY\nAugust 15–17\n8PM\nat The Brick Theater – 579 Metropolitan Avenue \nthingNY returns to the Brick with a double bill made up of Joseph White‘s You Against Nature and their latest collectively written opus\, Mouthful. Presented in conjunction with To tongue-tie: A multimedia gallery show curated by alejandro t. acierto with Paul Pinto. \nYou Against Nature is the first opera from White and is based on the French decadent classic\, Against Nature. It is a tale of modern day self-isolation\, attempts at life-hacking\, and nihilistic indulgence taken to extraordinary lengths. \nMouthful is situated in the orbit of a large communal table and explores ancestry\, lineage\, and linguistic transmission through food and digestion\, through blood\, and through community and family structures. \n*Please note Mask Policy\, detailed below \nYou Against Nature by Joseph White \nMouthful by thingNY \nperformed by alejandro t. acierto\, Gelsey Bell\, Isabel Castellvi\, Andrew Livingston\, Paul Pinto\, Erin Rogers\, and Dave Ruder \nthingNY is a collective of composer-performers who fuse electronic and acoustic chamber music with new opera\, improvisation\, theater\, text\, song and installation. Founded in 2006\, thingNY performs experimental works created by the core ensemble – alejandro t. acierto\, Gelsey Bell\, Isabel Castellvi\, Andrew Livingston\, Paul Pinto\, Erin Rogers\, Dave Ruder\, and Jeffrey Young – and by adventurous composers such as Jennifer Walshe\, Robert Ashley\, Rick Burkhardt\, Pauline Oliveros\, Joseph White\, and Julius Eastman. Past works collectively created by thingNY include: subtracTTTTTTTTT\, This Takes Place Close By\, Time: A Complete Explanation in Three Parts (with Panoply Performance Lab)\, Dear Nancine\, and ADDDDDDDDD. Recently thingNY released the album Passover on Innova Recordings. \n\nImage Credit: image credit Erin Rogers\n\n\n*** \n \nThe Brick is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. We rely on the generosity of our patrons. Consider giving a tax-deductible donation today to help make The Brick a sustainable hub of experimental performance for many years to come. Donate Here or Join Our Patreon \n*Mask Policy: Part of what lets us present work to an audience at the current moment is to have a fully masked audience. If you don’t have a mask\, a KN95 will be provided for you. \nMost of us have had our various long term health struggles\, and for some of us that includes having bodies that make us particularly vulnerable to Covid and other airborne diseases. We can’t do this alone: the performing part and the keeping ourselves safe part. We need your participation in both. \nThese pieces are about trying to live in isolation and about trying to situate yourself within a community that stretches over time [and might come together around a table]. Being able to perform these pieces in a room with all of you is something we do not take for granted – in fact we’ve made some recent work for people to experience on their own\, and so we were excited to build Mouthful to be experienced collectively. \nThank you for joining us this evening. This performance couldn’t happen without you. \nA Note on Accessibility: The Brick has trigger warnings posted in the space for each show for you to check if you so choose. If you would rather ask questions in advance of being in the space or would like to enter in advance of house opening due to our seating not being assigned\, please reach out to theresa@bricktheater.com.
