Reposted from @parkavearmory Our #MakingSpaceArmory series continues Saturday, May 20 with Hapo Na Zamani (Black Arts Movement Past and Present) hosted by @carlhancockrux and co-presented by @harlemstage as the culminating event in their #BlackArtsMovement: Then and Now Conference.

This unexpected and surprising evening reimagines a 1960s-style happening for today, complete with elements of painting, spoken word, music, movement, wonder, and more.

With musical direction by Vernon Reid (@vurnt22), the evening centers around a set of concerts by Reid and Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Chamber (@burntsugararkestra) inspired by the greats of the Black Arts Movement and honoring the musical legacy of the late writer and intellectual Greg Tate. Before and after seated performance times, audiences are invited to engage with screenings of Stefanie Batten Bland’s (@sbb_land) film “Kolonial,” as well as other activations and installations featuring Shantelle Courvoisier Jackson (@stvoisier), Nona Hendryx (@nonahendryx), Somi (@somimusic), Wunmi (@wunmi_olaiyaofficial), Carrie Mae Weems (@carriemaeweems), Dianne Smith (@iamdiannesmithart), and other surprise guests.

@harlemstage This weekend Harlem Stage is incredibly proud to present a very special series of programs.

BLACK ARTS MOVEMENT: THEN AND NOW CONFERENCE May 18-20 2023

Inspired, imagined, and curated by Harlem Stage Associate Artistic Director/Artist-in-Residence, @carlhancockrux, the Black Arts Movement: Then and Now Conference is a three-day event featuring a keynote address by poet, music critic, and arts administrator A.B. Spellman. The conference includes panels, discussions, essays, and performances, featuring pioneers and visionary artists including Angela Y. Davis, Nona Hendryx, Sonia Sanchez, Henry Threadgill, Toshi Reagon, and more, as well as a closing-night concert co-presented with Park Avenue Armory, curated by Carl Hancock Rux, Tavia Nyong’o, and Vernon Reid, with contributions by Carrie Mae Weems, Stefanie Batten Bland, and Dianne Smith.

Employing roundtables, public dialogues, and screenings, the convening will explore controversial areas of tension between the intellectual, ethical, and commercial imperatives of the Black Arts Movement. In conversations between pioneers of the Black Arts Movement and a contemporary generation of artists and scholars, the Black Arts Movement Conference centers itself within a dialogue that is both historically and culturally relevant in our ever-changing world.

If you have yet to visit us at the Gatehouse at 135 Convent Avenue, this weekend your moment.

☺️ Lucky me!! Last month I had the chance to watch @mistyonpointe aka Misty Copeland and @carmendelavallade teach a special class to youngsters from the @dancetheatreofharlem and the @hsanyc Harlem School for the Arts. I discovered that even as an adult who has retired my ballet slippers,I still have so much to learn from ballet class. We are never to old to be enriched and inspired in this dance 💃🏿 of life. To check out the First 3 of the 10+Things We All Can Learn from Ballet class, on The Dance Enthusiast: 1. Loosen Up, Have Fun, Learn Something New! 2. Keep Your Body Safe. 3. What You Do at the Barre, Prepares You to Dance in the Center of the Floor. (Our habits and our pursuits prepare us or detract us from our our life’s work, our dance. Consider your preparations wisely.). #dance #ballet #harlem #harlemstage #mistycopeland #dancersworld #dancersofinstagram #lifelonglearners #dancer #Dancenthusiast #dancenthusiast #danceoflife #harlemnyc #nyc #nycdance #dancing #danceteachers #dancestudents #teacherlife #teachersrule #alwayslearning (at Harlem Stage)

🎷#ArtIsAWeapon @carnegiehall & @harlemstage present sax sensation LAKECIA BENJAMIN @lakeciab tonight, March 11, 2023, 7:30 PM at 📍Harlem Stage 150 Convent Avenue (135th Street) Free but RSVP is required - harlemstage.org/events #HarlemStage #UptownNights #CarnegieHallCitywide • Reposted from HarlemStage.org In a special collaboration, Harlem Stage and Carnegie Hall co-present virtuosic saxophonist and composer Lakecia Benjamin. Join us for this album release show celebrating Benjamin’s fourth studio album, Phoenix... Produced by multi-GRAMMY Award-winning drummer and composer, #TerriLyneCarrington, Phoenix is a deeply personal and expansive album of mostly original compositions, and featuring a star-studded lineup of guests, including #DianneReeves, #SoniaSanchez, #AngelaDavis, #WayneShorter, and #GeorgiaAnneMuldrow. Benjamin shares, “When we came out from the pandemic we weren’t allowed to be broken.” There is no question that Phoenix marks yet another stratospheric rise for an artist who resolutely knows what she wants to say and how to say it, all the while honoring her mentors and the traditions that have come before her. The New Yorker proclaims, “The alto saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin plays jazz that is sprinkled with the rich flavors of funk and soul — she’s a crafty traditionalist who remains in step with the rhythms of the young generation.” Benjamin, born and raised nearby in Washington Heights, returns to her roots for a joyful evening of new music with a transcendent band. #LakeciaBenjamin #Phoenix #Jazz #Soul #FreeConcert #LiveMusic (at Harlem Stage) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpqEHxvOweg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
