you are invited to a series of events: 1. a conversation, 2. a film, 3. a traveling collective public grief altar, and 4. an online archive of our offerings--to the deceased, to the living, to ourselves, to each other. we begin with a conversation between devynn emory and artist Okwui Okpokwasili, presented by Danspace Project on wednesday, march 31 at 4:00pm PDT / 7:00pm EDT, followed by a world premiere of deadbird the film. you’ll also be able to stream the film via PICA from may 27th through 30th.

with the thoughtful support of Danspace Project and the Eureka Commissions Program by Onassis USA, deadbird is a film-reimagining of a live-work by devynn emory that was initially going to premiere at Danspace Project in NYC in spring 2020. this film is a grief space for devynn’s body as a hospice / COVID-19 nurse and spirit medium, and is also a balm to reimagine care. deadbird has always served as a container to process the intensity of nursing and honor the lives of those who have passed in their care. this became even more important during COVID-19.
in collaboration with Danspace Project, Onassis USA, Bartram’s Garden, and PICA, this project expanded to a national tour with deadbird and can anybody help me hold this body being presented in New York, Philadelphia, Portland, and LA. in each location, public grief altars will be tended by a local BIPOC artist who will be honoring the land they reside on and creating space for you. in Portland, this artist is Maya Vivas. if you are not in one of the touring cities or prefer to practice differently, instructions on how to create a grief space of your own are offered online at www.deadbird.land/at-home.
deadbird has and will continue to take many forms, and serves as a container to process and bridge devynn’s work in the world as an edgewalker, spiritual guide, bodyworker, choreographer, performer, and hospice nurse.

In stop, Repair, Prepare: Variations on "Ode to Joy" for a Prepared Piano (2008), Jennifer Allora (American, born 1971) and Guillermo Calzadilla (Cuban born, 1971) combine the mediums of performance art and sculpture. A Pianist emerges throught a hole carved in a grand piano to play the fourth movement of Ludwig von Bethoveen`s famous ninth symphony of 1824 (widely known as "Ode to Joy") while making aroung the Atrium.
By modifying the instrument, the artist have fundamentally changed the dynamic between pianist and instrument; leaning very far forward, the performer must read the keyboard upsidedown and backward. Furtermore the hole renders two octaves of holes inoperative, The result is a structurally incomplete version of the signature melody , played with great efford - a contradictory and ambiguous performance of a song that gas long been invoked as a symbol of humanist values and national pride.

Bubble Ben, Northampton, MA
(Photo credit: Sienna Wildfield)
Have you run into Bubble Ben on the streets of Northampton yet? We love him! Kids love him! What's not to love? He's Bubble Ben! Every time we've crossed paths with him, he's been between Thornes Market and the parking garage, making humongo bubbles that splatter about an eighth of a cup of soap on kids running and jumping to catch and pop them.
What takes place during these episodes is a classic case of Instant Karma: beautiful glistening bubbles billow out of Ben's bubble lasso as the wind catches them and gently lifts them up and across the promenade, carrying flirtatious thoughts of lazy summer days... only to be chased down by kids with fingers sticky from Herrells' ice cream, leaping and jumping at them in an attempt to slap and poke at their delicate buoyancy. And when successful, soap rains down on them, into their eyes and hair... and they stop briefly to poke those sticky fingers in their eyes that now burn - a bubbles revenge... and when they recover they do it again and again. All patiently choreographed by Ben. Parent's giving him tips for this dance... It's like they are saying thank you for entertaining my child for these past five minutes AND for also pre-soaking them in preparation for their evening bath!
