WHOOP DEE DOO PRESENTS: The Future is Connection: On Community Engagement & Contemporary Art
A conversation with Guadalupe Maravilla, Shaun Leonardo, Jamel Mims, and WHOOP DEE DOO, with opening words from Tiffiney Davis, moderated by Caits Meissner
Join us for an evening of conversation about community-engaged art practices and their influence on contemporary art and the cultural landscape. Learn from our esteemed panelists about how they work to challenge political and socioeconomic boundaries by situating their practices to invite thoughtful participation and collaboration, as well as how artists work within and beyond institutional contexts.
This event is presented and hosted by WHOOP DEE DOO, renowned for their live productions that push the boundaries of community-driven collaboration through a nationally recognized process which guides contemporary artists and local groups to create new possibilities within an intergenerational creative context.
Panelist Bios
Tiffiney Davis, a resilient Black community leader, co-founded the Red Hook Art Project (RHAP) in 2009 to create opportunities for artistically gifted youth in underserved communities. As Executive Director, she leads RHAP’s free art and mental wellness programs, fostering a safe, inclusive space that empowers students through holistic education—offering homework help, visual and music lessons, and leadership development. Her collaborative efforts secured $1 million in federal funding, expanded programming, and established a dedicated studio, while her swift pivot to virtual classes and meal distribution during the pandemic underscored her commitment to community needs. Recognized with the 2023 Woman of Distinction Award and featured on the Kelly Clarkson Show, Davis champions the transformative power of the arts and inclusive spaces where every child can thrive.
Shaun Leonardo is a Brooklyn-based artist and arts administrator whose 15+ year career has centered on community engagement, public programming, and experimental pedagogy. He began at Socrates Sculpture Park, where over 11 seasons he developed pioneering education and performance initiatives that significantly expanded the park’s offerings. He later led youth and community programs at the New Museum and served as Visiting Fellow at Pratt Institute, fostering dialogue around belonging and ethical engagement. From 2016 to 2024, Leonardo played a pivotal role at Recess, co-directing its evolution as a socially engaged arts organization and launching the Assembly diversion program. A Queens native with an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, his artistic work—recognized by Creative Capital, Guggenheim Social Practice, and others—has been featured at major institutions like the Guggenheim, New Museum, and MASS MoCA.
Guadalupe Maravilla is a transdisciplinary artist whose work combines sculpture, painting, performance, and installation to explore themes of activism, healing, and migration. Drawing from his own experience as an unaccompanied, undocumented child fleeing the Salvadoran Civil War and his later battle with cancer, Maravilla addresses the physical toll of systemic abuse on immigrants. He holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts and an MFA from Hunter College, and his work is held in major museum collections including MoMA, the Guggenheim, the Whitney, and the Museo Reina Sofía. Maravilla has received numerous fellowships and awards such as the Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship and Creative Capital Grant, and has exhibited widely, with recent solo shows at MoMA, the Brooklyn Museum, and the ICA Boston, among others. His touring immersive installation Mariposa Relámpago continues to be shown across the U.S. and internationally.
Caits Meissner is a New York City-based writer, educator, and multidisciplinary artist whose work spans poetry, comics, nonfiction, music, and participatory arts. Formerly Director of Prison and Justice Writing at PEN America, she edited The Sentences That Create Us (Haymarket Books, 2022), of which thousands of copies were distributed to U.S. prisons free of charge. With over 15 years of teaching and building community arts programs in 100+ schools, prisons, and universities, she’s worked in leadership capacities with organizations such as The Lower Eastside Girls Club, Tribeca Film Institute, Urban Arts Partnership, and The Bronx Academy of Letters. Her creative work has appeared in The Rumpus, Harper’s Bazaar, The Guardian, Oprah Daily, and more. Meissner currently consults with a variety of organizations, including WHOOP DEE DOO. Her ongoing creative projects include AUNT CAKES (menstrual clown rap), JUDY DOOM (multimedia punk fiction), and FLOWERS FOR LINDA (a podcast on grief and creativity).
Jamel Mims is a storyteller, multimedia artist, and Director of Arts Education & Community Engagement at Abrons Arts Center. A Fulbright Scholar who studied hip hop culture in China in 2008, his international experience resonates through his work, as he switches between english and mandarin as the bilingual rapper, MC Tingbudong. His socially engaged practice — which ranges from songs and music videos to curricula, programs and interactive experiences — put youth culture and a commitment to social justice at the center. Recently mentioned in i-d magazine’s “up + rising” series profiling 100 black creatives around the globe, his work has been featured in New York Times, The Nation, VICE, XXL, RadiiChina and more.
Our collaboration process is truly where the magic happens. Follow us on Instagram for a behind-the-scenes look into all of our programming.
WHOOP DEE DOO is an artist-led project that creates installations and live performances internationally at universities, festivals, arts organizations, museums, schools, public parks & more.

Lofty Pigeon Books, with Qian Julie Wang & Alex Ho
Lofty Pigeon Books has been a big supporter of my memoir, Our Laundry, Our Town, since the opening of this dynamic new indie Brooklyn bookstore two years ago––thanks again! Grateful to be participating in their reading and panel discussion, Writing Our City: Chinese American Memoirs of New York. Honored to be in conversation and community with Qian Julie Wang (A Beautiful Country), my BMCC colleague and friend, Alex Ho, and all of the Lofty Pigeon and Brooklyn folks in the house!

NYPL Fellowship Capstone Event: Myth, Family Lore & Fact
Proud to announce Myth, Family Lore and Fact, the capstone public presentation of my New York Public Library Fellowship on Friday, May 16, from 2pm – 3pm. The reading and discussion will take place in NYPL’s Main Branch, 5th Ave & 42nd St., in the Lenox and Astor Room, room 216.
My Fellowship project is researching and developing a companion to my memoir Our Laundry, Our Town. My next non-fiction book, Urban Oracle Bones, is a stage-to-page adaptation of my acoustic punk raconteur performance piece, HERE COMES JOHNNY YEN AGAIN (or How I Kicked Punk). Both works explore The Opium Wars’ profound impact on the Chinese Diaspora to NYC of my grandfather’s generation and the “heroin chic” punk counterculture of my 1970s NYC teenage years. This exploration is undertaken through the dual lenses of William S. Burroughs’ character “Johnny Yen”—immortalized in Iggy Pop and David Bowie’s song “Lust for Life”—and my own grandfather’s opium overdose in Chinatown––spotlighting the forces that shaped both my life and broader cultural movements.

As a recipient of three NYFA Artist Fellowships (Nonfiction Literature, Playwriting and Performance Art/Emergent Forms), I am looking forward to supporting this vital institution during my three-year AAC term.

Healing Gay Sex and Love: A Group Experience
A Wild, Wise, and Unapologetically Queer Journey Through Shame, Eros, and Liberation
Los Angeles, CA — From acclaimed gay therapist, author, and activist Dr. Douglas Sadownick, a bold new literary experiment blends memoir, fiction, philosophy, and therapy into a genre-defying journey of sex, soul, and radical transformation. Healing Gay Sex and Love: One Group Learns How to Heal Itself draws on over 30 years of clinical practice, community-building, and the mentorship of the late literary icon Felice Picano.
Launch Timeline:
Apr 24 — Serialization begins via Substack, Patreon, and www.askdrdougphd.com
Apr 27, 4-6 PM PST— Private live reading (Larchmont, LA) with five actors
May 17, 12 PM PST — A Zoom Convo On Book’s Themes (Free RSVP for Link)
Jun 14, 2-4 PM PST — Pride party & fundraiser for Colors LGBTQ Youth Center
A Book That Breaks the Rules of Healing
This isn’t your typical book on gay healing. It’s irreverent, sexy, hilarious—and, at times, terrifying. Four men in a gay therapy group confront body shame, erotic longing, emotional isolation, and the lingering ghosts of homophobia. Each is pulled into his own dark night of the soul—and, with the help of the others, emerges changed.
Meet the Men:
Andy (35): Chinese American screenwriter. Sharp, conflicted, married, snarky, talented.
Bobby (51): Southern-born set design, campy, once overweight, tougher than he seems.
John (64): Black gay elder, grieving, wise, emotionally anchored, deep into the gay soul.
Harry (27): Chicano film student, irreverent, disruptive, attractive, queer, searching.
As their therapy deepens, they descend into an imaginal realm where they reenact Plato’s Symposium and encounter the forgotten god Eros. Through dreamwork, dialogue, and mythic disruption, they reclaim gay erotic life as sacred and transformational.
The book culminates in a MAP—Mythic, Activist, Psychological—a radical new framework for queer healing and liberation.
About the Author
Born in the Bronx on Shakespeare Avenue and attending Columbia, NYU, Antioch, and Pacifica Graduate Institute, Dr. Sadownick is the founding director of the LGBTQ Specialization in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University and Colors LGBTQ Youth Counseling. As a co-creator of Highways Performance Art Space and an award-winning journalist, he has spent decades helping gay men integrate their emotional, sexual, and spiritual lives.
Building on his novel Sacred Lips of the Bronx (which will be republished this year for a 30-year commemorative, with a foreword from cultural critic Sarah Schulman), and nonfiction work Sex Between Men, this new book is part theatrical memoir, part philosophical intervention.
“Felice always told me: Be brave, be sexy, and, please, doll—don’t be boring,” says Sadownick. “So I wrote a book that breaks every rule, because healing demands truth and pleasure.”
“Dr. Doug has taken decades of work as a community therapist,” adds gay community leader Roland Palencia, “to tell a therapeutic story about oppression and spiritual growth. He’s giving us a map while helping us laugh and cry.”
Highlights:
– Hybrid of fiction, memoir, therapy transcript, and dramatic dialogue
– Characters based on real clinical experience
– A queer reframing of Plato’s Symposium and the god Eros
– Emotional, erotic, and intellectually provocative
– Ends with a workbook and MAP framework
– Appendices for therapists, students, and scholars
Book Events:
Apr 27, 4–6PM — Private LA launch (Larchmont), live reading, directed by Ethan Cvitanic.
May 17, 12PM PST — Zoom Convo On Book’s Themes (Free) RSVP

Greetings, music lovers! I appeared on Dean Bertram’s podcast “Talking

here: https://untoldradioam.com/blogs/shows/tagged/talking-weird
The tenth issue of “Typo” is now available! My, but there’s a glittering
and international array of writers and artists in it. I contributed a
translation of an “illustrated sonnet” by Giambattista Palatino from
1540: one of the first published rebuses and a true treat for the eyes:
“Thomas Wilfred: Clavilux and Lumia Home Models” is now available from
Christine Burgin Books, as part of the Further Reading Library.
Christine Burgin and Andrew Lampert edited this collection of Wilfred’s
notes, drawings, and photos, and I wrote the introduction. Wilfred, for
those new to him, pioneered light shows in the 1920s and went on to
create the elaborate art form he called “Lumia.”:

“The Alien Comic”
With Purpose & Style
April 11 – May 25 2025 12 – 6PM
Howl! Happening
6 East 1st Street, New York, NY 10003
In this update we want to take time to acknowledge and feature one of Tom’s important collaborators, Johanna Went, his friend of 38 years.
Following are excerpts of a letter we received last week from her:
“We taught each other how to be performance artists. I made several of the costumes (in the Howl! exhibition). Often when I was finished with a costume I made and used in my performances, I would give it to Tom. Sometimes Tom would change or embellish my pieces. Tom did not sew or crochet. Tom performed in many of my shows, and we had a wonderful friendship right up to the end. I miss him every day and he was loved by everyone who’s work he encouraged and supported.
Love and Peace, Johanna Went.”
Some of pieces in the exhibition made by Johanna and given to Tom are:
Monkey Woman mask -1986, Frankenworld mask, performance at The Whiskey Au Go Go – 1988. White House Lawn, Alchemy of Monsters performance, Barnsdale Park Theater – 1992. Silver Wings, Passion Container performance -1988. Black and Orange face, Crazy Space Gallery show – 2005. Crochet Hat for Tom – 2005.
In the early 1970s Tom Murrin left a legal career then joined the experimental theatre Para-Troupe in Seattle, performing with Johanna Went (and others) and using discarded items as props. Thereafter he roamed the world as a performance trailblazer; traversing Europe and Asia, staging daily shows in both outdoor spaces, and indoor theater spaces. Our exhibition showcases documentation & visuals from his early years as ‘Tom Trash’ along with a variety of items, flyers, posters and painted masks & props from his extensive archive illustrating Tom’s range of performance and street theater over four decades ~ including his writing alias ‘Jack Bump’.
In the 1980’s Tom expanded his Full Moon shows, a monthly lunar celebration in which Tom and crew (Jo Andres, Mimi Goese, Lucy Sexton, Anne Lobst) performed, and thanked the moon goddess ‘Luna Macaroona’ for good fortune upon the world. It rotated among downtown spaces, then continued in his honor at Howl! Happening for six more years. Our exhibition intentionally opened on the Full Pink Moon weekend! Make sure to watch the video from our opening night, a full pink moon ‘blessing’ starring Salley May & Agosto Machado.
On rotation are select live performance videos from Track 16 shows in LA, along with live photos from 2011 and an enlightening 2008 interview. Tom’s partner Patricia Sullivan kindly sent us some NY unique artist projects created at a Tom Murrin book workshop in 2019 and we’ve added these pieces to our projections. Seating is provided for comfortable viewing.
Come visit us “with purpose & style”.

18. Andrea Fraser, FF Alumn, receives Rome Prize 2025
Announcing the 2025–2026 Rome Prize Winners
The American Academy in Rome announces the winners of the 2025–2026 Rome Prize, the rigorous competition supporting innovative fellows in the arts, humanities, and sciences. The Rome Prize equips artists and scholars with the time, space, setting, and colleagues to explore and create in the singular city of Rome. The thirty-five recipients will reside at the Academy’s eleven-acre grounds in the Eternal City for five to ten months, starting this September.
In addition to the Rome Prize, the Academy awards three Italian Fellowships, through which Italian artists and scholars live and work at AAR, pursuing their own projects in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment with their American counterparts.
The Rome Prize winners will be honored during the Janet and Arthur Ross Rome Prize Ceremony, taking place this evening, April 23, in the Proshansky Auditorium at the Graduate Center, City University of New York. The program includes a conversation on the state of contemporary literature, moderated by AAR President Peter N. Miller, that features novelist and playwright Ayad Akhtar (2018 Resident, Trustee), novelist Katie Kitamura (2024 Fellow), and novelist and essayist Valeria Luiselli. Attend in person or watch via Zoom.
This year, AAR introduces a pilot Rome Prize dedicated to the Environmental Arts & Humanities, designed specifically for collaborative efforts between artists and scholars working jointly on projects that help expand our understanding of the way human beings relate to, experience, and process their encounters with the natural world.
A list of all winners of the 2025–2026 Rome Prize and Italian Fellowships is below. For the full list of fellows’ names, institutional affiliations, and project titles, as well as the names of the jury members, please download the full press release.

Press Release:
Wrong Place, Wrong Time:
The Early Works of Laura Parnes
Thursday, May 8 – Sunday, May 11
“Sewn from the dark origins of reality TV, indie sleaze, and Edgelord conservatism of the nineties and aughties – my early work embraced the teenager as a symbol of rebellion at a time when advertising subsumed their counterculture.” –Laura Parnes
This series presents a survey of early works by the artist Laura Parnes, known for her critically acclaimed films and installations that fuse comedy with pathos. Featuring both shorts and feature-length works, the three programs chart the artist’s evolving style, from her early appropriation techniques and experiments with digital rotoscoping to her highly stylized, multi-platform works. Throughout her practice, Parnes has cast real-life artists, musicians, and other downtown luminaries in works that consistently blur the lines between experimental and narrative cinema. Revealing the psychosis of late-stage capitalism, her darkly sardonic, often madcap stories have explored the erosion of privacy, the anxiety of influence, and the cult of personality, among other themes. In the 1990s, this took the form of prescient meditations on the rise of reality TV, online chat rooms, and surveillance culture. In the aughts, using episodic and serial formats, the artist developed post-9/11 narratives with teen heroines inspired by canonical texts. These defiant characters gleefully subvert the sanctity of art and culture, and the institutions that circumscribe their production.
Throughout the work presented in this series, Parnes’s inimitable sense of humor infects her dark, chaotic tales with a willful ambivalence, creating terse, non-linear narratives that question ideas of complicity, truth, and the possibilities of resistance. At a time when the rise of authoritarianism in American society is impossible to deny, the relevance of these questions remains eerily evident.
Guest-programmed by Jane Ursula Harris, who wrote the introduction above and individual program descriptions below.
Laura Parnes will be here for a Q&A with special guests following each screening, moderated by Jane Ursula Harris!
NO IS YES, credit: Laure Leber.
PROGRAM 1: NO IS YES (1990s-ERA WORKS)
This program highlights Parnes’s 1990s-era works, revealing the artist’s innovative use of appropriation and experimental film techniques to comment on the aesthetics and politics of popular culture. The films embody a decade marked by the rise of reality TV, online chat rooms, violent video games, MTV, celebrity culture, and heroin chic. With mordant wit, the artist deploys and scrambles these sources in non-linear narratives that feel like you’ve entered a k-hole of angsty youth. The results are dark and twisted, entangling what have now become recurring themes in her work, including the anxiety of influence, the cult of personality, and the sociopathy of American culture at the end of the 20th century.

PROGRAM 2: BLOOD AND GUTS IN HOLLYWOOD (AUGHTIES TAKES)
This program presents two episodic works by Parnes, inspired by canonical texts once considered obscene and transgressive: Dante’s “Inferno”, the 14th-century narrative poem that comprises part one of “The Divine Comedy”; and Kathy Acker’s cult novel, “Blood and Guts in High School” (1984). Vividly salacious tales of depravity that chart their respective protagonists’ descent into hellish underworlds of sin, both works become fodder for the artist’s sardonic takes on the nature of truth and the anxiety of influence. The teen heroines that appear in each – Sandy and Janey, respectively – navigate the subterranean pathos of suburbia where surveillance, boredom, and sexual misadventures reign. These post-9/11 films simmer with the chaotic unease of early 21st century life when the “war on terror” and Homeland Security, Facebook and smartphones, radically changed our relationship to privacy and media.

COUNTY DOWN
PROGRAM 3: COUNTY DOWN (1990s REDUX)
Mirroring rave culture and the unbridled optimism in technology of the 1990s, COUNTY DOWN reveals a society so obsessed with novelty and consumerism that it euphorically sows the seeds of its own destruction. This darkly comedic narrative explores an epidemic of psychosis among the adults in a gated community which coincides with a teenage girl’s invention of a designer drug.
This program will also include a sneak peek at Parnes’s work-in-progress, MAGIC THINKING, a black comedy steeped in the current climate catastrophe and in the confluence of far-right extremism and the cult of “wellness”.
MAGIC THINKING (work-in-progress / trailer) 2025, 4 min, digital

Total running time: ca. 80 min.
Sun, May 11 at 5:00. Followed by a discussion with filmmaker Laura Parnes, actor Stephanie Vella, writer-musician Johanna Fateman, and artist Chloe Bass, moderated by program curator Jane Ursula Harris.

Opening: Saturday May 3, 3–5 PM
The Overlap Paintings were born 20 years ago as often happens to me, so as not to throw away excess color prepared for other things, then they developed into an autonomous group that allows me a thousand explorations. They are painted on board with vinylic and acrylic paints that dry quickly and do not melt when you apply another layer over them. Overlap means superposition. I proceed without a pre-established scheme, painting one improvised, irregular grid on top of the other until I feel like stopping. The patterns are generated by networks of masking tape, allowing for imperfections. Paint is diluted to varied densities so that brushstrokes are visible in their opacity or transparency.

Stellage, Athens, Greece
Exploring presence and connection beyond conventional communication models. For 30 days, the cumulative work builds without pause in a closed circuit system between locations in Athens, New York, Berlin, and Bogotá through a continuous exchange of sound and image…
Drift Choir amplifies involuntary gestures, fragmented speech, and environmental sounds as legitimate forms of communication. It facilitates real-time, two-way transmission, enabling participants from different locations to connect through presence, voice, and non-verbal exchange. This model draws on research into assisted communication systems, including Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) technologies and conversational methods used in studies of motor disabilities. Rather than simplifying communication for efficiency, Drift Choir creates opportunities for unpredictability, where noise, distortion, and interruption become not barriers but generative forces of connection.

Andrea Blum: BIOTA
Book launch
Tuesday, April 29th
6pm
Free, optional RSVP https://events.humanitix.com/andrea-blum-biota-book-launch
Please join us for a special evening celebrating the launch of BIOTA: A discourse between Art and Architecture from the 1970s to the present, co-published by Gregory R. Miller & Co. and Hunter College Art Galleries. BIOTA celebrates the work of artist and Hunter professor emerita Andrea Blum and accompanies her recent exhibition at 205 Hudson Gallery this past Fall. Books will be available for purchase at the event.
BIOTA gives an overview of Andrea Blum’s early sculpture, public works, exhibitions, installations, and propositions of the past forty years, while staying within the rubric of what sculpture can be. The 296-page book, designed by Joseph Logan Design Studio, includes essays by Catherine Grout, Jenny Jaskey, Pam Lins, Michael Lobel, Sarah Oppenheimer, and a conversation between the artist and Allan Schwartzman, that explore the artist’s practice and art-making philosophy.
Biography
The work of Andrea Blum falls between sculpture, architecture and design, exploring the relationship of the sociopolitical world to the private psychological one. Since the 1980’s she has built permanent and temporary projects in Europe and the United States, and has exhibited in museums, galleries and other exhibition venues. Blum has had one-person exhibitions at La Conservera Centro de Arte Contemporaneo, SP; Stroom Center for Art & Architecture, NL; Henry Moore Institute, UK; and Kunsthaus Baselland, CH, and has made special projects for the 51st Venice Biennale; Maison Rouge, Paris; MUDAM, Luxembourg; l’Observatoire, Marseille, and the Theatre des Champs-Elysees in Paris, where she was the set designer for the Opera, La Favorite by Donizetti. Blum is the recipient of Fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the Graham Foundation, Art Matters Inc., the New York Foundation for the Arts, the SJWeiler Fund, the National Endowment for the Arts, and was named Chevalier, Order of Arts and Letters, by the French Minister of Culture. She is a Full Professor of Combined Media and Associate Chair of Studio, in the Department of Art & Art History at Hunter College in New York, and frequently lectures on the relationship of Art and Architecture and the social interface between the two.

JODY OBERFELDER PROJECTS PREMIERES IMMERSIVE STORY TIME AT
THE CENTER AT WEST PARK, MAY 16-17
A Vivid Dance-Theater Work That Reimagines Fairy Tales and Myths Through Movement, Music, And Memory—Set Inside a Historic Landmark Fighting For Survival.
Jody Oberfelder Projects, known for their immersive dance experiences of inventive athleticism, wit, and whimsy, invites audiences to step into the realm of myth and imagination with Story Time, a new evening-length work premiering Friday, May 16 and Saturday, May 17, 2025 at
7:30 PM at The Center at West Park, a landmarked Romanesque Revival church full of character—and currently the subject of a high-profile preservation battle. Conceived, directed, and choreographed by Jody Oberfelder, Story Time deconstructs fairy tales and myths to uncover the deeply human narratives beneath them. Like a book of collected stories, the
choreography is purposefully episodic; each chapter introduces new terrain—psychological, physical, and spiritual—tracing the arcs of a cast of heroes and protagonists who are always changing. Dancers shape-shift from scene to scene, embodying conflicting roles and reminding us that within each of us lies the potential for both hero and villain, destruction and grace.
Performed by a cast of five intrepid dancers—Mariah Anton, Andi Farley-Shimota, Michael
Greenberg, Nyah Malone, and Caleb Patterson—and accompanied by live musicians Grace
Bergere and Tine Kindermann, Story Time brings to life archetypal characters whose journeys overlap: the benign, the haughty, messengers, helpers, conjurers, phantoms, bullies, and tricksters. The movement is athletic, emotionally charged, and at times dreamlike, evoking the timeless push and pull of good and evil, fear and freedom, destruction and rebirth.
Set inside an architectural jewel facing the threat of demolition, the work unfolds in two parts: a site-specific prologue of installations and movement throughout the sanctuary, followed by a series of page-turning tales performed on stage. The audience begins as wanderers, drawn into live dioramas, physical vignettes, and surreal curiosities—before settling into the pews for a richly layered theatrical experience. The boundary between viewer and performer is gently blurred. The immersive experience also features live vocals, original music, haunting soundscapes, surreal installations, and hand-crafted costumes—all combining to evoke a fairy tale world just slightly off-kilter from our own. The venue itself is part of the story. The Center at West Park, housed in the 133-year-old West-Park Presbyterian Church, has faced demolition threats due to its deteriorating condition and ongoing legal disputes. The church’s application for a hardship demolition was withdrawn in January 2024 after vocal opposition from preservationists, artists, and elected officials. Oberfelder’s choice to perform Story
Time in this embattled space is intentional—calling attention to the cultural and spiritual role of such places, and the danger of losing them.
“Across cultures and time, people have always gathered around stories—to make sense of the world, to find direction, to feel less alone,” says Oberfelder. “Dance is its own kind of storytelling: fleeting, wordless, yet full of meaning. There’s a Grimm tale that ends, ‘And the mouth of the person who last told this story is still warm.’ That warmth—that sense of something just passed on—is what I hope lingers. I want audiences to arrive with wonder, to follow the threads of their own journey, and perhaps leave seeing themselves as the hero in their own unfolding tale.”
REPERTORY NOTES:
Story Time | World Premiere 2025

Story Time is a sensorial adventure through fairy tales, archetypes, and the wild terrain of being
human. Dance, live music, and visual installation collide in this immersive performance where stories unfold like dreams—fragmented, vivid, and emotionally charged. Part traveling, part seated, audiences are drawn into a world of shifting characters and symbolic encounters: a place where phantoms speak, heroes fall, and meaning is made through movement. At once whimsical and raw, Story Time is a physical storytelling journey that invites us to remember, imagine, and rediscover what it means to be human.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE, TICKETS, and VENUE INFORMATION
Story Time will take place Friday, May 16 and Saturday May 17 at 7:30 p.m. at The Center at West Park, located at 165 West 86th Street, New York, NY, accessible by the 1, B and C trains.
