Beverly is an artist\, photographer\, singer-songwriter\, composer\, and activist who has greatly contributed to our community.\nJason Weiner and the membership staff have played a key role in bringing this event to life.

Art\, in every aspect of our human experience\, is a life-healing force.\n\nAlexis Cuadrado and Jay Rodriguez are both professional musicians\, composers\, and producers. They have expanded the vision of the curation to create a platform for freedom of expression for all. Shapeshifter Lab visionaries Fortuna Sung and Matthew Garrison have also become vital to our mission\, generously providing us with their performance space across the street from the Food Coop.

SUMMARY:Holman Alvarez’s Hidden Objects
DESCRIPTION:Satoshi Takeishi (drums)\,\nJohn Hébert (bass)\,\nRachel Therrien (trumpet)\,\nHolman Alvarez (piano and composition)\n\nPianist/composer Holman Alvarez sees the world through a compositional lens. On his newest release\, Hidden Objects\, he leads an all-star band through nine expressive\, serpentine compositions that reveal a unique musical worldview. In his playing\, there is a touching lyricism and forward-thinking harmony\, mixing warmth with the cerebral. And there are references to the Latin American rhythms and modern classical figures that are an innate part of Alvarez’s compositional and improvisational vocabulary. Beyond musical touchstones\, though\, it’s evident that there is a much more grand\, big-picture artistic vision at work.

A task may include greeting dancers at the entrance\, collecting trash\, sweeping floor\, organizing the clothing swap corner etc\,. For our more seasoned festival and marathon queer dancers\, you can volunteer by being a “Guide” to our new comers in queer tango or to New York City. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarathon Program & Schedule\n\n\n\n\nSCHEDULE SUMMARY \nFRIDAY\, January 24  \n5pm-7pm: Resource and Skill Share \n7pm-8:30pm: Dinner \n8:30pm-9:30pm: Beginner Workshop \n8:30pm-2am: Milonga \nSATURDAY\, January 25  \n12:30pm-1:30pm: Brunch \n1:30pm-3pm: Community Discussion \n3pm-7pm: Milonga \n7pm-8:30pm: Dinner \n8:30pm-9:30pm: Folklore Workshop \n8:30pm-3am: Milonga \nSUNDAY\, January 26  \n1pm-2pm: Brunch \n2pm-7pm: Milonga \n7pm-8pm: Dinner \n8pm-12am: Farewell Milonga

SUMMARY:Vivienne Aerts Concert and Chocolate Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Vivienne Aerts – Piano and Voice\, \nJames Robins on Bass\, \nAllison Philips on trumpet \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCome to the live recording and tasting concert at the Shapeshifter on Monday January 27th. Vocalist Pianist Vivienne will play with Rachel Therrien on trumpet and Eduardo Belo on Bass and Chef Teddy will make some delicious chocolate bites.\n\n“The staggeringly versatile skill-set of NYC-based Dutch Singer\, Educator\, Psychologist and Artist-preneur Vivienne Aerts busts myths around the ‘Jill of all trades’ paradigm with a nonchalance that leaves even the most skeptical purist taking a bow. A practicing clinical psychologist and choir conductor in Europe before she went on to be a Fulbright scholar and Suma Cum Laude Berklee graduate\, her collaborators since have included some of the most iconic names in the world of jazz. Her eclectic ‘experience’ events in collaboration with her husband\, renowned pastry chef Ted Steinebach was the root of her multi-disciplinary approach to the making of her new album\, ‘Typuhthâng’\, which not just features a 100 female musicians from around the globe\, but also comes with a bar of bean-to-bar chocolate from Original Beans Chocolate\, a company that pro-actively empowers female cacao farmers of Virunga State Park in Congo. Besides this\, she is a faculty member at Berklee College of music where she has been instrumental in building a new generation of performers who are not only skilled musicians but also mentally and physically healthy individuals.”\n\n\n\n\n\n

Beverly is an artist\, photographer\, singer-songwriter\, composer\, and activist who has greatly contributed to our community.\nJason Weiner and the membership staff have played a key role in bringing this event to life.

Art\, in every aspect of our human experience\, is a life-healing force.\n\nAlexis Cuadrado and Jay Rodriguez are both professional musicians\, composers\, and producers. They have expanded the vision of the curation to create a platform for freedom of expression for all. Shapeshifter Lab visionaries Fortuna Sung and Matthew Garrison have also become vital to our mission\, generously providing us with their performance space across the street from the Food Coop.
