SUMMARY:Four Seasons in NY:  Gems of Japanese Music & Tea Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:CRS & Mar Creation\, Inc. invite you to discover traditional Japanese music by the acclaimed koto and shamisen player and singer Yoko Reikano Kimura\, followed by a rare tea ceremony by Souheki Mori (tea master at Tea Whisk and Setsugekka). After the ceremony\, matcha tea by Setsugekka and beautiful Japanese seasonal sweets prepared by Rin NYC will be served.  \nThe next concert will take place on Friday\, January 19\, 2018 at 7 pm at CRS. Tickets are $40 and include the tea ceremony and delicious wagashi (sweets). Seating is limited and advanced purchased (online\, by phone 212-677-8621\, or in person at CRS) is encouraged. \nKimura will perform four classical pieces\, including Chanoyu Ondo – The Lead of Tea Ceremony\, while Mori leads Shin-no-gyou daisu temae (真之行台子点前)\, one of the most formal and elaborate styles of tea serving that is very rarely shared in New York. There will also be a surprise musical guest! \nMUSICAL PROGRAM \nKokin-sho for solo jiuta sangen (composed by Seiho Kineya)\nRokudan no Shirabe (composed by Yatsuhashi-kengyo)\nChanoyu Ondo – The Lead of Tea Ceremony – (composed by Yaezaki-kengyo)\nSpring Sea (composed by Michio Miyagi) \n“…Yoko Reikano Kimura\, playing the shamisen and singing\, is superb….” — New York Times \n“…Kimura’s performance on the solo shamisen was quite stunning. An elegant refined presence perfectly poised\, she played with precision\, beauty and the utmost confidence….” — San Francisco Examiner \nAfter many centuries\, the brilliance of traditional Japanese music is still being passed on to the present day. Come and experience the sounds of koto and shamisen and enjoy the taste of the four seasons here in New York. This concert series will feature each season’s representative traditional works along with the colorful and delicate Japanese style confectionaries. \nThis will be the second concert of Volume 3 of this seasonal series of music concerts called Four Seasons in New York — Gems of Japanese Music. The subsequent concerts in this season are planned for April 1 and Aug 12 of 2018 at 4 pm. \n\nEach season is expressed through ingredients. Spring traditionally begins with sakura (cherry blossoms)\, broccoli rabe\, strawberries and raspberries\, followed by elderflower\, rose\, edamame and sansho (Japanese pepper) in summer. As autumn approaches we’ll pick chrysanthemum\, apples\, grapes\, chestnuts and hazelnuts; and yuzu and kumquats in winter…. Even within one season\, the taste and the form change gradually from hashiri through nagori. \nmochi Rin / Bite-sized mochi dessert made with organic bean paste\, seasonally fruits and flowers in NY. \nWe present a new type of mochi that doesn’t quite exist in Japan\, by infusing New York’s locally-sourced ingredients into Japan’s popular traditional dessert —the stuffed mochi rounds\, such as daifuku and sakura-mochi — and mixing in rin\, the element of restrained grace.  http://www.rin-nyc.com \n  \n  \nMore about Yoko Reikano Kimura \nAs a frequent soloist and collaborator\, Japanese born Koto/Shamisen performer and singer Yoko Reikano Kimura has performed in NYC\, Chicago\, Tokyo\, Kyoto and many other cities\, featuring a wide-ranging repertoire from classical Japanese music to improvisational pieces. Yoko has won numerous awards including the First Prize at the prestigious 10th Kenjun Memorial National Koto Competition as the first Yamada style koto performer. She received the First Prize at the 4th Great Wall International Music Competition and the Osaka Chinese Counsel Award and won the Japanese music audition for NHK-FM radio and her solo shamisen performance was broadcasted nationally. Since then she has performed numerous koto and shamisen pieces for the radio and regularly toured internationally. \nSince Yoko moved to the US in 2010\, her mission has been to promote Japanese music to American audiences. As part of this mission she is performing and giving workshops at various venues\, such as the UN\, Merkin\, Bargemusic\, Roulette\, Princeton University\, Japan Society\, Harvard University\, Princeton University\, the New England Conservatory\, the University of Chicago\, Duke University and many others. http://www.yamadaryu.com/reikano/ \nAs part of the award-winning Duo Yumeno\, she has  released the album Flowers\, Birds\, Wind\, Moon:  The Music of Marty Regan. Listen and purchase here. \n\n\n\nMore about Tae Master Souheki Mori \nSouheki Mori was born in Chiba\, Japan. She studied under the Japan Association of the Tea Ceremony and was certified as a Japanese tea ceremony master in 2003\, and holds the title of Jufuku-an. She established Tea-Whisk Inc in New York to introduce the beauty of the Japanese Tea Ceremony with Junya Mori. Mr. and Mrs. Mori believe that within the tea ceremony is a force invisible and precious\, and that one can achieve spiritual growth through practicing tea. They have hosted tea ceremony at numerous places\, such as The American Museum of Natural History\, Japan week NYC\, Harney & Sons\, Japanese sushi kaiseki restaurant KOSAKA and many others around Tri State.

SUMMARY:CRS Healing Circle:  Prayer\, Sound Meditation + Whirling
DESCRIPTION:CRS invites you to join us for our monthly healing circle. We gather to meditate\, drum\, sing\, dance\, pray and remember the divine strength within ourselves. We also support the family of Kenji and Sayoko Williams’ five-year-old daughter\, Amara\, who is growing up with a brain tumor and all the challenges that presents. Our minds will join with Amara’s prayer circle of hundreds of people around the world. \nPlease feel free to bring your frame drum\, rattle\, flute\, whistle\, chimes\, singing bowl\, or other instrument. You don’t need to be experienced. Together\, we will learn to listen to one another and express ourselves and find Oneness of intention. \nThe participation fee is $20 with advanced registration and $25 on Jan 18. \nThrough whirling\, we learn to trust ourselves to go off balance\, to be dizzy\, to surrender control as we give ourselves over to prayer and connect with a greater power\, the still center within\, around which we turn\, that we may share our divine strength and bear witness to the divinity in others. \nIf you are quiet and in a state of prayer when you Turn\, offering everything of yourself to God\, then when your body is spinning\, there is a completely still point in the center… The heavens respond; and all the invisible kingdoms join in the dance. But the world does not understand. They think we Turn in order to go into some sort of trance. It is true that sometimes we do go into that state you call ecstasy\, but that is only when we know and experience at the same time. We do not Turn for ourselves. We turn around in the way we do so that the Light of God may descend upon the earth. As you act as a conduit in the Turn\, the light comes through the right hand\, and the left hand brings it into this world… We turn for God and for the world\, and it is the most beautiful thing you can imagine. — Mevlevi Shaikh Suleyman Hyatt Dede \nAbout Lale Sayoko \nLale was one of the founding members of Japan’s famous Samanyolu professional bellydance group\, and has since developed her own solo career touring with UK’s Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers on a 44 city tour of the UK\, to Turkey’s Baba Zula\, to New York’s Bella Gaia multimedia Earth from Space journey show. Appearing in Japanese and American magazines and newspapers\, Lale aspires for dance to be a powerful communicator though traditional technique and spiritual embodiment. She has lately been studying Sufi dance with Rana Gorgani.\nhttp://www.lalesayoko.com

SUMMARY:Sound Meditation Concert with Kana Kamitsubo Markovic
DESCRIPTION:CRS invites you to an intimate afternoon of music and meditation with concert pianist\, music therapist and Hug Music Founder Kana Kamitsubo Markovic and CRS Founder Yasuko Kasaki. Kana magically weaves our visualizations into her music\, improvisationally creating rich tapestries of sounds with emotional depth and breadth to compliment her own haunting compositions. In Kana’s work\, listening and playing\, process and performance are one. Exquisitely attuning herself to the conversation between her deepest impulses and our own\, she allows her spirit to translate this dance of giving and receiving into music in which we can all recognize ourselves. \nThe event will take place in the award-winning White Room at CRS on Sunday\, December 17 from 2 – 3;30 pm. Tickets are $30 at the door and $25 through 12/16 online\, by phone (212-677-8621)\, and at the door. \nhttp://www.hugmusicny.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/kana-impro-twinkle-spider-oyasumi.mp3\nKana Kamitsubo is a pianist trained in classical & jazz\, a board-certified music therapist\, as well as a founder/owner of Hug Music\, a music school located in Queens. She began her piano study by the age of three. During her childhood\, she spent most of the time playing her piano by improvising and composing. Her favorite thing was to reflect the energy around her (energy of her home\, family\, people who visited her) on her improvisation and she would improvise endlessly without knowing it was a very special talent she was given. As her piano study became more serious\, she stopped playing freely but started to focus on “what others would think is good” by following her piano teachers’ advise. At 19 years old\, she felt extremely detached from music and struggled. \nThen\, she decided to study jazz piano. At 20 years old\, she met her piano teacher\, Takeshi\, who told her\, “Listen to the music inside of you first\, and strike the keys to play the melody you just heard.” He taught the importance of being authentic in the music and following where the music wants to go instead of thinking what to play. In order to fully understand his words and also master this\, Kana started to record herself at every single opportunity (practicing\, rehearsal\, performances)\, listening to the recordings\, and taking notes on what she was feeling/thinking when she played and how it affected her music. After years of doing this practice\, she has concluded that when ego takes over\, the music loses its life; when she listens to the spirit and plays music with it\, the music spreads love and she is able to connect with others. This has become her philosophy as a musician. \nAt age 25\, she was awarded a Berklee World Scholarship and moved to Boston to further study piano performance and music therapy. There\, her approach was validated when\, as a music therapy student\, she began working with individuals with disabilities. She cultivated her clinical skills based on her philosophy and was recognized by Berklee College of Music for demonstrating extraordinary therapeutic musical skills. As a result\, she received numerous awards\, and afterward was hired by Berklee to help develop their “Clinical Music Improvisation” curriculum. \nAs a licensed clinician\, she has worked with diverse populations including children with special needs and has developed her own method that has been proven to be effective for children with autism spectrum disorder. While she works as an active music therapist\, she also composes and performs with her husband as an acoustic duo unit called Yagull. The past few years\, Kana started to study A Course in Miracles (ACIM) with Yasuko Kasaki and Naoko Ono. Kana has discovered that the process of improvising (listening to the music inside of her mind and then striking the keys to play the music she heard) mirrors ACIM’s direction to listen to our inner voice. \nYasuko Kasaki strongly advised Kana to perform for others more actively. Kana further cultivates her spirituality and musicality and realized that creating music with others (by reflecting the energy around her) is a very special ability she has been given. Now Kana knows that she wants to devote her life to sharing it. \nhttp://www.hugmusicny.com \nhttp://www.yagull.com

SUMMARY:Prayer for Amara: Sound Meditation + Whirling
DESCRIPTION:Dear friends of CRS and the Williams family\, \nCRS invites you to join us for a sound and movement meditation for Amara Williams on Thursday\, Nov 16 from 8 – 9:45 pm. We will gather monthly to remember the divine strength within ourselves and to support the family of Kenji and Sayoko Williams’ five-year-old daughter\, Amara\, who is growing up with a brain tumor and all the challenges that presents. Our minds will join with Amara’s prayer circle of hundreds of people around the world. \nThis month\, our sound healers Senko and Miyoko are away and Sayoko will join us late\, so musician Saco Yasuma and CRS Healer Christopher Pelham will lead us through the opening hour of sound meditation and guided meditation and whirling practice. Please feel free to bring your frame drum\, rattle\, whistle\, chimes\, or other instrument. You don’t need to be experienced. Together\, we will learn to listen to one another and express ourselves and find Oneness of intention. \nWhirling is a devotional dance practice that Amara’s mother\, performing artist Lale Sayoko\, has been exploring as a way of uniting her dance practice with her prayers for her daughter. No experience is necessary. \nThe participation fee is $20 with advanced registration and $25 on Nov 16. 50% of the proceeds will support the Williams family. \nThrough whirling\, we learn to trust ourselves to go off balance\, to be dizzy\, to surrender control as we give ourselves over to prayer and connect with a greater power\, the still center within\, around which we turn\, that we may share our divine strength and bear witness to the divinity in others. \nIf you are quiet and in a state of prayer when you Turn\, offering everything of yourself to God\, then when your body is spinning\, there is a completely still point in the center… The heavens respond; and all the invisible kingdoms join in the dance. But the world does not understand. They think we Turn in order to go into some sort of trance. It is true that sometimes we do go into that state you call ecstasy\, but that is only when we know and experience at the same time. We do not Turn for ourselves. We turn around in the way we do so that the Light of God may descend upon the earth. As you act as a conduit in the Turn\, the light comes through the right hand\, and the left hand brings it into this world… We turn for God and for the world\, and it is the most beautiful thing you can imagine. — Mevlevi Shaikh Suleyman Hyatt Dede \nAbout Lale Sayoko \nLale was one of the founding members of Japan’s famous Samanyolu professional bellydance group\, and has since developed her own solo career touring with UK’s Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers on a 44 city tour of the UK\, to Turkey’s Baba Zula\, to New York’s Bella Gaia multimedia Earth from Space journey show. Appearing in Japanese and American magazines and newspapers\, Lale aspires for dance to be a powerful communicator though traditional technique and spiritual embodiment. She has lately been studying Sufi dance with Rana Gorgani.\nhttp://www.lalesayoko.com

SUMMARY:Film Screening:  Shorts by Chris Fiore — POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed. We will announce the new date soon! \nCRS presents an evening of short films and video by Chris Fiore in conjunction with the exhibition of his photographs currently on view. The program will include a Q&A with the filmmaker. Admission is free. \nThe program features Fiore’s short film “A(de)scent\,” which recounts a designer’s glorious and disastrous debut at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center. The evening will also feature the World Premiere of at least one episode of Fiore’s new web series “The Ken Stones\,” following artist Ken Hiratsuka in his attempt to carve a sculpture in every country on Earth. \nTrailer for “The Ken Stones”:\n \nAbout Director Chris Fiore \nFilmmaker\, writer\, and artist Chris Fiore\, born 1959 in Norfolk\, Virginia\, received his BFA from Antioch College in 1984. In the late 80’s he was one of the founders of the Zone\, a artist collective occupying an abandoned warehouse at 104 South 4th St\, in Williamsburg\, Brooklyn. Fiore showed at the East Village’s KOAP gallery in the early 90’s and in 1995 directed the underground documentary Trip and Go Naked\, winner of the Excellence in Sexual Theater award at Arlene’s Grocery Picture Show. He went on to direct the feature documentary Backstage for Miramax\, a behind the scenes look at Jay Z’s Hard Knock Life Tour. The film had a profitable run in theaters and is still occasionally in rotation on the Showtime network 17 years after it was made. Fiore has also directed documentaries on the making of the Victoria’s Secret Christmas Catalog\, the band Paramore\, as well as two prime time specials for Fox Television. His most recent documentary\, Goodwoman\, tells the story of Debra Goodman\, an activist brutally arrested for filming the NYPD. Featured in several film festivals\, Goodwoman won the Grand Jury Award at the 2016 LA Film Invasion film festival. He’s currently directing a documentary and web series on artist Ken Hiratsuka. \nFiore’s first feature film script\, The Utopia Virus\, was a finalist in the Final Draft Big Break Competition\, garnering him representation and a Hollywood roller coaster ride as the directors Darron Aronofsky\, Tony Scott\, and Renny Harlin considered making the film. He also wrote the Wassup Obama ad\, described by Salon.com as one of the most creative of the 2008 presidential campaign and winner of a Cannes Lion. He’s currently working on a series of film treatments for a Beijing based production company. \nFiore’s film work has directly influenced his art over the years\, in his use of appropriated imagery\, presentation of sequential images\, and in the cinematically dynamic composition of his mosaic photography. Fiore is represented by the Ethan Pettit Gallery. \nhttp://chrisfiore.com\nhttp://pairofpictures.tumblr.com\nhttp://metaedit.tumblr.com

SUMMARY:Four Seasons in NY:  Gems of Japanese Music
DESCRIPTION:CRS & Mar Creation\, Inc. invite you to discover traditional Japanese music by the acclaimed koto and shamisen player Yoko Reikano Kimura\, offered together with an exclusive taste of beautiful Japanese seasonal sweets prepared by Rin NYC. The next concert will take place on Sunday\, November 5\, 2017 at 4 pm at CRS. Tickets are $25 and include delicious wagashi (sweets). Seating is limited and advanced purchased (online\, by phone 212-677-8621\, or in person at CRS) is encouraged. \n“…Yoko Reikano Kimura\, playing the shamisen and singing\, is superb….” — New York Times \n“…Kimura’s performance on the solo shamisen was quite stunning. An elegant refined presence perfectly poised\, she played with precision\, beauty and the utmost confidence….” — San Francisco Examiner \nAfter many centuries\, the brilliance of traditional Japanese music is still being passed on to the present day. Come and experience the sounds of koto and shamisen and enjoy the taste of the four seasons here in New York. This concert series will feature each season’s representative traditional works along with the colorful and delicate Japanese style confectionaries. \nThis will be the first concert of Volume 3 of this seasonal series of music concerts called Four Seasons in New York — Gems of Japanese Music. The subsequent concerts in this season are planned for Jan 19 at 7 pm (followed by a special tea ceremony by Souheki Mori of Setsugekka by Tea Whisk) and April 1 and Aug 12 at 4 pm. \n\nEach season is expressed through ingredients. Spring traditionally begins with sakura (cherry blossoms)\, broccoli rabe\, strawberries and raspberries\, followed by elderflower\, rose\, edamame and sansho (Japanese pepper) in summer. As autumn approaches we’ll pick chrysanthemum\, apples\, grapes\, chestnuts and hazelnuts; and yuzu and kumquats in winter…. Even within one season\, the taste and the form change gradually from hashiri through nagori. \nmochi Rin / Bite-sized mochi dessert made with organic bean paste\, seasonally fruits and flowers in NY. \nWe present a new type of mochi that doesn’t quite exist in Japan\, by infusing New York’s locally-sourced ingredients into Japan’s popular traditional dessert —the stuffed mochi rounds\, such as daifuku and sakura-mochi — and mixing in rin\, the element of restrained grace.  http://www.rin-nyc.com \n  \n  \nMore about Yoko Reikano Kimura \nAs a frequent soloist and collaborator\, Japanese born Koto/Shamisen performer and singer Yoko Reikano Kimura has performed in NYC\, Chicago\, Tokyo\, Kyoto and many other cities\, featuring a wide-ranging repertoire from classical Japanese music to improvisational pieces.

SUMMARY:Action Theater Improv Performance
DESCRIPTION:CRS presents an evening of Action Theater Improvisation by former CRS teachers and longtime performance collaborators Heather Harpham and Cassie Tunick. Their improvisations play in a highly physical realm and incorporate vocalization and speech to conjure surreal yet utterly immediate worlds.

Tickets are $20 and are available online\, by phone (212-677-8621) and at CRS. There will be no late seating at this performance. \nAction Theater is a training system in physical theater improvisation that builds vocal\, verbal\, and physical performance skills\, hones awareness and increases expressive range. Created by Ruth Zaporah\, Action Theater uses embodied presence as a doorway into the agility of a vast imagination\, the inhabiting of mercurial energies\, and a way of relaxing into the active nature of time and change with eloquence\, precision\, and passion.  http://www.actiontheater.com. \nHeather Harpham has written six solo plays\, including Happiness and BURNING which toured nationally. Her fiction\, essays and reviews have appeared in Slate\, Parents\, MORE Magazine and Water~Stone Review. Harpham is the recipient of the Brenda Ueland Prose Prize\, a Marin Arts Council Independent Artist Grant and a grant from the Barbara Deming Memorial Fund for Women. She has taught as a guest artist in physical theater and solo performance in colleges and universities throughout the US and currently teaches at SUNY Purchase.

Collaborations: film work with David Finkelstein (Suggestive Gestures); experimental music and performance with Keren Rosenbaum; and dance theater works with Abby Bender.  An ongoing fascination with the nature of being continues within the daily body as a vehicle for the mind and imagination to express itself visibly. http://www.cassieterman.com \nDanny Tunick is a veteran of an array of musical scenes in New York City and beyond. From many varieties of rock (Jowe Head\, Dan Kaufman’s Euro-literary-underground band Barbez\, Rebecca Moore’s Prevention of Blindness\, New Zealand cult legends The Clean) to classical (he has conducted music by Pierre Boulez\, Charles Wuorinen\, and Sam Hillmer\, among others\, and performed in countless premieres as percussionist)\, to music falling between any convenient category (Alvin Lucier\, Arnold Dreyblatt’s Orchestra of Excited Strings\, Elliott Sharp’s Orchestra Carbon\, Christian Dautreme’s indescribable Sugarlife\, the pagan Civil War rituals of Flaming Fire\, David First’s The Western Enisphere).

SUMMARY:Concert:  International Singer-Songwriter Showcase
DESCRIPTION:CRS and Mar Creation\, Inc. are delighted to present an evening of fantastic female singer-songwriters on Saturday\, Oct 14\, 2017 at 7 pm. LittleStarRun (based in PA and Greece) and Rie Tamuro (from Japan and now based in NY) will play solo and Yuka Yamamoto and her bandmate Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz  of The Fugu Plan (NY\, Israel\, Japan) will perform as a duo. \nConjuring mystery with bewitching vocals and modern sonics\, these island-hopping storytellers set sparkling observations of cultural dislocation to melodies haunting and buoyant. LittleStarRun found her voice among the echoes of ancient Athens and Crete\, and her dreamy songs reflect her explorations there. Rie’s writing also sharply maps the experiences of trading one island for another half-way round the world. Yuka finds inspiration in the vanishing traditions and folklore of medieval Japan and her own Sado Island. \nTickets are $20 and are available online\, by phone (212-677-8621) and at the door. \nRie Tamuro\, a 23-year-old singer / songwriter from Nara\, Japan\, started playing the guitar at the age of 14\, writing songs and performing on the street and at shows. She has more than 150 original songs and has resided in New York since August 2015. Rie has performed at clubs such as Silvana\, the Shrine\, and Bowery Electric in New York City. https://www.facebook.com/tamuro.rie \n\n  \n  \nLittleStarRun is the artist moniker of Northeastern Pennsylvania born musician and singer-songwriter Rachel Lucille Woodworth. Her journey began in 2003 in Athens Greece where a career in circus aerial arts and studies in international theater led her to find her musical voice. She has been creating and performing as LittleStarRun since 2010 and received musical studies at Musical Praxis Conservatory in guitar and music theory. Her music can be described as ethereal indie folk or indie folk dream pop “with comparisons to Jenny Lewis\, Feist\, and Beach House.” In 2015 she had to return to the US after over a decade in Greece to recover from a severe ankle injury which resulted in a debilitating chronic neurological illness. Despite the setback\, in 2016 she released her first single “Wilting” recorded in Athens Greece in the home studio of producer Anthony Georgou with whom she co-produced the track. Her studio recordings reflect her diverse musical influences. “Wilting is a song richly layered in echoey vocals and lush guitars leading the listener on a psychedelic journey through an unconscious underground. The song encapsulates an ethereal parallel universe with LittleStarRun’s poetic phrases\, subtle country folk guitar blended with layers of distortion and a modern greek chorus of her own vocals. Penned while on the island of Crete in Greece\, the song was inspired by a dream and the imagery and journey all take place in the world between asleep and awake. Think Joni Mitchell meets Tame Impala played out in an ancient greek theater.” \nWilting by LittleStarRun \n“I think my music is about traveling\, whether it be physical travel\, or mental\, or astral… I want to show people new worlds that I see and sensations I experience. ” — LittleStarRun \nShe has contributed and composed songs for theater productions in her native Scranton. She has contributed backing vocals to Pennsylvania indie psychedelic rock band Brian TV’s 2014 record\, Brian TV Quits. LittleStarRun’s debut album is currently being recorded and due out in late 2017. \n  \nYuka Yamamoto is a Japanese singer song writer\, from Sado Island\, Japan and now lives in NYC. The Fugu Plan is fronted by Yuka\, a Japanese singer and composer from Sado Island\, a place of banishment for difficult or inconvenient Japanese figures starting in the 8th century. The Fugu Plan’s MukashiBanashi is based on the secret customs and ancient folktales of Japan\, exploring traditions of ritual\, tribal\, and spiritual music\, which pays tribute to the island’s preservation of the traditions of old Japan through ceremony\, art\, music and magic\, while incorporating a mixed bag of musical influences including Ennio Morricone’s film music\, psychedelic rock and free improvisation. https://thefuguplan.bandcamp.com/ \n\n  \nShanir Ezra Blumenkranz is an American bassist and oud player who has recorded and performed with John Zorn\, Bill Laswell\, Ravi Coltrane\, Fred Sherry\, Satoshi Takeshi\, Hank Roberts\, Sabir Mateen\, Roy Campbell Jr.\, Tony Malaby\, Will Connell\, Jon Madof\, Daniel Zamir\, Jenny Scheinman\, Daniel Kelly\, Eyal Maoz\, Avishai Cohen\, George Garzone\, Okkyung Lee\, Brad Shepik\, William Winant\, Jim Puglesie\, Jim Black\, Jamie Saft\, Anthony Coleman\, Mark Dresser\, Charlie Burnham\, Sonny Simmons\, Ned Rothenberg\, Marty Ehrlich\, Trevor Dunn\, Sylvie Courvoisier\, Susie Ibarra\,Tyshawn Sorey\, Min Xiao-Fen\, Michiyo Yagi\, Kazu Uchihashi\, Makigami Koichi\, Kazutoki Umezu\, Cyro Baptista\, Marc Ribot\, Kenny Wollesen\, Joey Baron\, Anton Fier\, Eric Friedlander\, Mark Feldman\, Roberto Rodriguez\, Louie Belogenis\, Ikue Mori\, and many more!

Fiore showed at the East Village’s KOAP gallery in the early 90’s and in 1995 directed the underground documentary Trip and Go Naked\, winner of the Excellence in Sexual Theater award at Arlene’s Grocery Picture Show. He went on to direct the feature documentary Backstage for Miramax\, a behind the scenes look at Jay Z’s Hard Knock Life Tour. The film had a profitable run in theaters and is still occasionally in rotation on the Showtime network 17 years after it was made. Fiore has also directed documentaries on the making of the Victoria’s Secret Christmas Catalog\, the band Paramore\, as well as two prime time specials for Fox Television. His most recent documentary\, Goodwoman\, tells the story of Debra Goodman\, an activist brutally arrested for filming the NYPD. Featured in several film festivals\, Goodwoman won the Grand Jury Award at the 2016 LA Film Invasion film festival. He’s currently directing a documentary and web series on artist Ken Hiratsuka. \nFiore’s first feature film script\, The Utopia Virus\, was a finalist in the Final Draft Big Break Competition\, garnering him representation and a Hollywood roller coaster ride as the directors Darron Aronofsky\, Tony Scott\, and Renny Harlin considered making the film. He also wrote the Wassup Obama ad\, described by Salon.com as one of the most creative of the 2008 presidential campaign and winner of a Cannes Lion. He’s currently working on a series of film treatments for a Beijing based production company. \nFiore’s film work has directly influenced his art over the years\, in his use of appropriated imagery\, presentation of sequential images\, and in the cinematically dynamic composition of his mosaic photography. Fiore is represented by the Ethan Pettit Gallery. \nhttp://chrisfiore.com\nhttp://pairofpictures.tumblr.com\nhttp://metaedit.tumblr.com

SUMMARY:Prayer for Amara: Sound Meditation + Whirling
DESCRIPTION:Dear friends of CRS and the Williams family\, \nCRS invites you to join us for a sound and movement meditation for Amara Williams on Thursday\, Oct 12 from 8 – 9:30 pm. We will gather monthly to remember the divine strength within ourselves and to support the family of Kenji and Sayoko Williams’ five-year-old daughter\, Amara\, who is growing up with a brain tumor and all the challenges that presents. Our minds will join with Amara’s prayer circle of hundreds of people around the world. \nFollowing a crystal singing bowl meditation (CRS healer Miyoko Satoh) and prayer circle (CRS healer Naoko Ono)\, we’ll whirl together with live percussion by Senko Nishimura and friends. Whirling is a devotional dance practice that Amara’s mother\, performing artist Lale Sayoko\, has been exploring as a way of uniting her dance practice with her prayers for her daughter. No experience is necessary. \nThe participation fee is $20 with advanced registration and $25 on Aug 17. 50% of the proceeds will support the Williams family. \nThrough whirling\, we learn to trust ourselves to go off balance\, to be dizzy\, to surrender control as we give ourselves over to prayer and connect with a greater power\, the still center within\, around which we turn\, that we may share our divine strength and bear witness to the divinity in others. \nIf you are quiet and in a state of prayer when you Turn\, offering everything of yourself to God\, then when your body is spinning\, there is a completely still point in the center… The heavens respond; and all the invisible kingdoms join in the dance. But the world does not understand. They think we Turn in order to go into some sort of trance. It is true that sometimes we do go into that state you call ecstasy\, but that is only when we know and experience at the same time. We do not Turn for ourselves. We turn around in the way we do so that the Light of God may descend upon the earth. As you act as a conduit in the Turn\, the light comes through the right hand\, and the left hand brings it into this world… We turn for God and for the world\, and it is the most beautiful thing you can imagine. — Mevlevi Shaikh Suleyman Hyatt Dede \nAbout Lale Sayoko \nLale was one of the founding members of Japan’s famous Samanyolu professional bellydance group\, and has since developed her own solo career touring with UK’s Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers on a 44 city tour of the UK\, to Turkey’s Baba Zula\, to New York’s Bella Gaia multimedia Earth from Space journey show. Appearing in Japanese and American magazines and newspapers\, Lale aspires for dance to be a powerful communicator though traditional technique and spiritual embodiment. She has lately been studying Sufi dance with Rana Gorgani.\nhttp://www.lalesayoko.com

SUMMARY:Concert — Shakuhachi and Ichigenkin:  Discovery in a Single Tone
DESCRIPTION:CRS presents an afternoon of new and traditional Japanese works performed by the trio Elizabeth Brown and Ralph Samuelson on shakuhachi (vertical bamboo flute) and Issui Minegishi on ichigenkin (one-string koto). With roots in the principles of Zen Buddhism and in spiritual practice\, these traditional Japanese instruments share an underlying aesthetic concept:  the discovery of the world that lies within one note\, one sound. This concert program includes both traditional works and new compositions such as Elizabeth Brown’s 秋廻り来て “autumn comes round again”\, which sets tanka poetry written by survivors of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. \nTickets are $20 through 9/30\, $25 thereafter\, and are available online\, by phone (212-677-8621)\, and at the door. \nIdeally\, this music is heard in a tranquil setting conducive to calm\, focused listening. The ichigenkin’s philosophy of “one string” is a natural partner to the “one note” aesthetic of the shakuhachi\, and while the shakuhachi is becoming more familiar to audiences around the world\, opportunities to hear the ichigenkin are truly rare. Largely through the efforts of Minegishi Issui\, the ichigenkin is gradually finding a new place in contemporary Japan and abroad. This trio of musicians\, two from America and one from Japan\, presents numerous concerts in Japan. Now they are bringing knowledge of these beautiful instruments and their music to an American audience. \nThis concert is part of a 12-stop U.S. tour. This project is supported in part by IMJS: Japanese Cultural Heritage Initiatives and by the Japan Foundation. \n \n\n  \nAbout the Performers \nMinegishi Issui is the 4th Iemoto\, or heir\, of the Seikyo-do Ichigenkin Tradition. The Seikyo-do follows the idea of Zen practice\, which removes all unnecessary vanities. She was trained by her great-grandmother\, the 3rd heiress\, an officially designated Intangible Cultural Treasure of Japan. Minegishi Issui succeeded to the title of 4th Iemoto in 1988\, and was honored as Graduate of the NHK Conservatory of Japanese Traditional Music. She has performed around the world. At her 2008 Kioi Hall concert in Japan\, she was honored with the presence of Her Majesty the Empress of Japan\, Michiko. Minegishi Issui won the bronze prize in the division “1-2 string musical instruments” at Delphic 2009 (The Art and Cultural Olympic Games) in Jeju\, Korea. She received Asian Cultural Council grants in 2010 and in 2013. \nRalph Samuelson\, a performer and teacher of the Japanese bamboo flute\, shakuhachi\, was trained in the classical tradition of the Kinko School of shakuhachi by the late Living National Treasure Goro Yamaguchi as well as by Shudo Yamato and Kodo Araki V\, both in Japan and in the graduate world music program at Wesleyan University. He performs traditional and contemporary music throughout North America\, Asia\, and Europe\, and has recorded for Innova\, CBS Masterworks\, Lyrichord\, Music of the World\, Tzadik\, XI Records\, Pogus\, and other labels. He was shakuhachi soloist in the New York City Ballet production of Jerome Robbins’ “Watermill”\, and his annual “Flutes of Hope” concert\, commemorating the victims of the earthquake/tsunami in Japan\, has been presented in New York’s Carnegie Hall and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. In 2011 and 2013 he was artist in residence at the Lou Harrison House in Joshua Tree\, California. He is an international advisor for the Seoul Institute of the Arts in Korea and is senior advisor and former director of the Asian Cultural Council. \nElizabeth Brown combines a composing career with a diverse performing life\, playing flute\, shakuhachi\, and theremin in a wide variety of musical circles. She is celebrated both here and in Japan for her compositions combining eastern and western sensibilities. A Juilliard graduate and Guggenheim Fellowship recipient\, her music has been heard in Japan\, the Soviet Union\, Colombia\, Australia\, South Africa and Vietnam as well as across the US and Europe. She has received grants\, awards and commissions from Orpheus\, St. Luke’s Chamber Ensemble\, Newband\, the Asian Cultural Council\, the Japan/US Friendship Commission\, Meet the Composer\, the Electronic Music Foundation\, the Cary Trust\, and NYFA. She has two solo CDs: Elizabeth Brown: Mirage (New World) and Blue Minor: Chamber Music by Elizabeth Brown (Albany)\, and her music is also available on CRI\, Innova\, and Music and Arts. http://elizabethbrowncomposer.com

SUMMARY:Meditation + Multimedia Concert:  Shades of Green in the Light
DESCRIPTION:CRS invites you to Shades of Green in the Light\, an immersive multi-media dialogue between sound\, video\, space and stillness improvised for us by CRS Healer and crystal singing bowl player Miyoko Satoh followed by musicians Seungmin Cha and JunYi Chow with video artist Karen Y. Chan. \nThough often fleeting\, the awareness of stillness is like entering the wilderness\, where time melts away and the senses are awakened by subtleties that become magnified. There is clarity and spaciousness in stillness that encourages the mind to wander into unexplored regions. It is an opportunity to observe\, question\, or just be present with what is there\, or more importantly\, what is not there. Some instruments that will be heard include the daegum\, a traditional Korean bamboo flute\, played by Cha\, who will also incorporate electronic sounds\, and the cello and melodion\, played by Chow. The musicians will live-score Chan’s video collage during a 60-minute improvisational set that will include moments of stillness. \nThis concert concludes Seungmin Cha’s Asian Cultural Council fellowship in NYC. Tickets are $20 and are available online\, by phone (212-677-8621) and at the door. \n\nSeungmin Cha \nphoto by Inu Nah\nEmerging as one of the most influential experimental Daegeum (Korean transverse bamboo flute) artists\, Seungmin Cha was trained in traditional music and its discourse. A graduate of the School of Music at Seoul National University\, Ms. Cha has developed her career as a solo Daegeum artist\, the director of her music ensemble Shiro as well as composer. She is performing both solo and in bands as part of the indie music scene of Seoul’s Hongdae neighbourhood. Her performances incorporate traditional (jeongga and minyo)\, indie\, experimental elements. You can see the evolution of Gugak (Korean traditional music) through her as a traditional music performer\, who is at the same time\, a contemporary composer and independent musician in the underground scene. She received a prestigious Asian Cultural Council fellowship in 2016 and is currently living in NYC until October with ACC’s support. https://seungminchamusic.com \nJunYi Chow \nphoto by Cherry Au\nMalaysia-born New York-based Composer\, Multi-instrumentalist and Improviser. Chow’s music has been lauded by Financial Times for its “skilful contrasts in both volume and texture.” His interest in music explores the indefinite possibilities of tone colour and sound\, and features a mixed musical style based on classical contemporary music\, Chinese tunes\, Gamelan music\, minimalism\, and popular music\, amongst other influences. In March 2017\, he received the Grand Prize of Best Orchestra Work by Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra International Composition Competition. His current project is “Stillness in Queens\,” a collaborative cross-disciplinary work with video artist Karen Y. Chan and is partly funded by Queens Council On The Arts. He is currently the Composer-In-Residence of Teng Company (Singapore) and Vivo Experimental Orchestra (Malaysia). He graduated from Indiana University and Central Conservatory of Music\, majoring in music composition. http://www.junyichow.com \nKaren Y. Chan  \nKaren Y. Chan (b. 1975\, New York City) works with video\, film\, and sound to explore the relationships between space\, time\, and memory.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:  The Mortal Apparatus — Photographs of Flowers & Cityscapes by Chris Fiore
DESCRIPTION:CRS presents The Mortal Apparatus\, an exhibition of photographs of fading flowers and cityscapes by Chris Fiore. A mix of color and b&w\, the photographs are all clearly digitally manipulated and highlight the artificiality and intentionality of the photographic act. The images call attention to the often overlooked beauty that can be found in decaying objects\, natural and man-made\, suggesting how our minds look for signs of the eternal in the ephemeral and create new layers of meaning. Ultimately\, these works invite us to consider how our thoughts touch and re-make everything we look upon. \nThe exhibition opens on September 14\, 2017 and will remain on view until November 30\, 2017. An Opening Reception with the artist will take place on Friday\, September 22\, 2017 from 6:30 – 8:30 pm. \nIn conjunction with the exhibition\, two free evenings of screenings of film/video work by the artist will take place on October 13 (“Goodman” and “The Red Umbrella Diaries”) and on November 10 (world premiere of “The Ken Stones:  Miami” and A(DE)SCENT”) from 7:30 – 10 pm. Seating for these screenings is limited and available on a first come\, first serve basis. \nArtist’s Exhibition Statement: \nFrom time immemorial the nature of what we value most has been defined in human terms; our families\, our villages\, our rulers\, our religions\, have defined us in ways intrinsic to our nature as people\, as father\, mother\, sister\, brother\, friend\, and neighbor\, etc. We lived in a world of barter and local currencies defined by our communities and shared needs. \nThen the industrial revolution introduced a new set of values as we had an entirely new thing to measure ourselves against: the ubiquitous machine. Mechanical things that could weave\, move\, and manufacture faster than any human began to shape the lives of millions of people who moved from farms and villages to the cities (massive machines themselves) in search of factory work. This shaping of our lives by technology and factory work has since enveloped the world and affects every aspect of our lives. \nWilling or not\, we are supplicants to the mechanical and the cybernetic. From the moment our parents sat us down in front of a screen\, be it a television\, tablet\, or phone\, automation has literally shaped our minds\, our perception of reality\, and in turn\, what we value. We are no longer strictly human and the velocity of our technologies make us less so every day. In short\, we are already cyborgs. \nArtist Statement \nThe camera is my favorite machine. To me\, the camera has transcended its nature as a mechanical device and has become something verging on a magic instrument. Capable of capturing the fleeting and the ephemeral\, of freezing light and stopping time\, of making the intimate public\, of telling profound truths and fascinating lies\, of imbuing meaning into the mundane and transforming the precious into the mechanical\, the camera is a collective third eye that has shaped the perceptions of a species. \nArtist Profile: \nFilmmaker\, writer\, and artist Chris Fiore\, born 1959 in Norfolk\, Virginia\, received his BFA from Antioch College in 1984. In the late 80’s he was one of the founders of the Zone\, a artist collective occupying an abandoned warehouse at 104 South 4th St\, in Williamsburg\, Brooklyn. Fiore showed at the East Village’s KOAP gallery in the early 90’s and in 1995 directed the underground documentary Trip and Go Naked\, winner of the Excellence in Sexual Theater award at Arlene’s Grocery Picture Show. He went on to direct the feature documentary Backstage for Miramax\, a behind the scenes look at Jay Z’s Hard Knock Life Tour. The film had a profitable run in theaters and is still occasionally in rotation on the Showtime network 17 years after it was made. Fiore has also directed documentaries on the making of the Victoria’s Secret Christmas Catalog\, the band Paramore\, as well as two prime time specials for Fox Television. His most recent documentary\, Goodwoman\, tells the story of Debra Goodman\, an activist brutally arrested for filming the NYPD. Featured in several film festivals\, Goodwoman won the Grand Jury Award at the 2016 LA Film Invasion film festival. He’s currently directing a documentary and web series on artist Ken Hiratsuka. \nFiore’s first feature film script\, The Utopia Virus\, finished in the top ten of the 2005 Final Draft Big Break screenwriting contest.

SUMMARY:Prayer for Amara: Sound Meditation + Whirling
DESCRIPTION:Dear friends of CRS and the Williams family\, \nCRS invites you to join us for a sound and movement meditation for Amara Williams on Thursday\, Aug 17 from 8 – 9:30 pm. We will gather monthly to remember the divine strength within ourselves and to support the family of Kenji and Sayoko Williams’ five-year-old daughter\, Amara\, who is growing up with a brain tumor and all the challenges that presents. Our minds will join with Amara’s prayer circle of hundreds of people around the world. \nFollowing a crystal singing bowl meditation (CRS healer Miyoko Satoh) and prayer circle (CRS healer Naoko Ono)\, we’ll whirl together with live percussion by Senko Nishimura and friends. Whirling is a devotional dance practice that Amara’s mother\, performing artist Lale Sayoko\, has been exploring as a way of uniting her dance practice with her prayers for her daughter. No experience is necessary. \nThe participation fee is $20 with advanced registration and $25 on Aug 17. 50% of the proceeds will support the Williams family. \nThrough whirling\, we learn to trust ourselves to go off balance\, to be dizzy\, to surrender control as we give ourselves over to prayer and connect with a greater power\, the still center within\, around which we turn\, that we may share our divine strength and bear witness to the divinity in others. \nIf you are quiet and in a state of prayer when you Turn\, offering everything of yourself to God\, then when your body is spinning\, there is a completely still point in the center… The heavens respond; and all the invisible kingdoms join in the dance. But the world does not understand. They think we Turn in order to go into some sort of trance. It is true that sometimes we do go into that state you call ecstasy\, but that is only when we know and experience at the same time. We do not Turn for ourselves. We turn around in the way we do so that the Light of God may descend upon the earth. As you act as a conduit in the Turn\, the light comes through the right hand\, and the left hand brings it into this world… We turn for God and for the world\, and it is the most beautiful thing you can imagine. — Mevlevi Shaikh Suleyman Hyatt Dede \nAbout Lale Sayoko \nLale was one of the founding members of Japan’s famous Samanyolu professional bellydance group\, and has since developed her own solo career touring with UK’s Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers on a 44 city tour of the UK\, to Turkey’s Baba Zula\, to New York’s Bella Gaia multimedia Earth from Space journey show. Appearing in Japanese and American magazines and newspapers\, Lale aspires for dance to be a powerful communicator though traditional technique and spiritual embodiment. She has lately been studying Sufi dance with Rana Gorgani.\nhttp://www.lalesayoko.com

The waters are warm and the fishing is easy. This month the incredible vocal artist Ami Yamasaki will lead us through a guided consiousness-expanding journey of vocalized sounds. As usual\, sound healers Senko Nishimura and Miyoko Satoh will support us with their holy playing on drum and crystal singing bowl\, respectively. \nThe fee is $20 through August 9 and $25 on August 10. \nAmi Yamasaki is a vocalist and cross-media artist from Tokyo. Yamasaki creates installations\, performance pieces and directs films. With primal vocals and movement\, she explores the possibilities of a deeper understanding towards the mechanism of the world.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/user/amingerz\nhttps://ikimasho.net/2015/01/23/ami-yamasaki-till-a-quiet-room-sings/ \n—————– \nOur purpose\, guided by our devoted study and practice of A Course in Miracles\, is to remind one another that we are one and the same\, always already perfect expressions of love. Therefore\, we will be training ourselves to look for and find such reminders in all of our visions and experiences. While the forms of our activities draw on or are adapted from various shamanic and healing traditions\, we do not seek to hold up any particular forms as essential or superior in and of themselves. Any form or experience could be used to remember who we truly are and to join with others. We will be using these particular forms simply because we enjoy them! \nCRS Co-Founder Christopher Pelham will lead the circle this month. Chris has a background in ensemble and improvisational theatre and has been studying ACIM since 2003 and offering healing and spiritual counseling since 2013. He leads the Monday night guided meditation and Healing Clinic at CRS\, teaches A Course of Love on Wednesday nights\, participates in the Tuesday night Healing Clinics and assists Yasuko in the leading of the Monday night ACIM Classes. \n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

SUMMARY:Four Seasons in NY:  Gems of Japanese Music
DESCRIPTION:CRS & Mar Creation\, Inc. invite you to discover traditional Japanese music by the acclaimed koto and shamisen player Yoko Reikano Kimura\, offered together with an exclusive taste of beautiful Japanese seasonal sweets prepared by Rin NYC. The next concert will take place on Saturday\, August 5\, 2017 at 4 pm at CRS. Tickets are $25 and include delicious wagashi (sweets). Seating is limited and advanced purchased (online\, by phone 212-677-8621\, or in person at CRS) is encouraged. \nAugust’s program will include the following pieces: \nHototogisu – Little Cuckoo – (Yamada-kengyo)\nSarashi (Fukakusa-kengyo)\nOmoide – Nostalgia – (Kimio Eto)\n“…Yoko Reikano Kimura\, playing the shamisen and singing\, is superb….” — New York Times \n“…Kimura’s performance on the solo shamisen was quite stunning. An elegant refined presence perfectly poised\, she played with precision\, beauty and the utmost confidence….” — San Francisco Examiner \nThis will be the fourth in a seasonal series of music concerts called Four Seasons in New York — Gems of Japanese Music 2016 – 17. After many centuries\, the brilliance of traditional Japanese music is still being passed on to the present day. Come and experience the sounds of koto and shamisen and enjoy the taste of the four seasons here in New York. This concert series will feature each season’s representative traditional works along with the colorful and delicate Japanese style confectionaries. \n\nEach season is expressed through ingredients. Spring traditionally begins with sakura (cherry blossoms)\, broccoli rabe\, strawberries and raspberries\, followed by elderflower\, rose\, edamame and sansho (Japanese pepper) in summer. As autumn approaches we’ll pick chrysanthemum\, apples\, grapes\, chestnuts and hazelnuts; and yuzu and kumquats in winter…. Even within one season\, the taste and the form change gradually from hashiri through nagori. \nmochi Rin / Bite-sized mochi dessert made with organic bean paste\, seasonally fruits and flowers in NY. \nWe present a new type of mochi that doesn’t quite exist in Japan\, by infusing New York’s locally-sourced ingredients into Japan’s popular traditional dessert —the stuffed mochi rounds\, such as daifuku and sakura-mochi — and mixing in rin\, the element of restrained grace.  http://www.rin-nyc.com \n  \n  \nMore about Yoko \nAs a frequent soloist and collaborator\, Japanese born Koto/Shamisen performer and singer Yoko Reikano Kimura has performed in NYC\, Chicago\, Tokyo\, Kyoto and many other cities\, featuring a wide-ranging repertoire from classical Japanese music to improvisational pieces.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:  Imaginary Mindscapes by Philippe Halaburda

Philippe is a multidisciplinary artist who engages with the urban surroundings environment and emotions\, feelings or memories from his direct experiences\, mainly though colors. The exhibition will be on view from July 13 – September 13\, 2017. \nPhilippe’s work explores into his own unlimited and unconscious psychological territories and delves into the complex undercurrents of intimate and collective relationships.Through paintings\, abstracted photos and digital artworks\, he tries to address more broadly the emotional structures within ourselves in the attempt to examine our world. He is interested in developing a new visual language with which to describe the randomness of cities and their relationship to human experience. \nPhilippe Halaburda’s Bio \nPhilippe Halaburda was born in France in 1972. He received his Diploma in 1995\, Superior Degree Graphic Art School from the EDTA Sornas School\, Paris. He has lived in and exhibited from Paris (France) to Zurich and Berne (Switzerland). He spent 15 years in Aix-en-Provence working  as a graphic arts director. Halaburda’s paintings and drawings have been exhibited throughout the US\, in Canada\, Europe (France\, Italy\, Spain\, Ger- many\, Austria\, Belgium) and Australia. \nHe was a guest resident of the Villa Baulieu Workshop in Aix-en-Provence between 2008. His work is in the collection of many corporate and non-profit institutions including the Radar (Bayeux\, France)\, Draguignan permanent Art Collection (Draguignan\, France) and the Villa Baulieu Art Collection (Aix-en-Provence\, France).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:  Rhythmic Continuity — Paintings by Deanna Lee
DESCRIPTION:CRS announces an exhibition of paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Deanna Lee. These paintings on view in this show\, her first solo exhibition in three years\, represent two bodies of work\, separated by several years\, which demonstrate her perpetual exploration of patterns derived from and inspired by natural forms and systems. The exhibition will be on view from May 3 – July 12\, 2017. \nArtist Statement \nMy work stems from patterns and traces of growth and decay in the natural world and the built environment. At an early age I saw electron micrographs and lab specimens\, and I am still engrossed by abstracted images of nature. I am invested in the hand-drawn line for its conveyance of individualism\, imperfection\, and fragility\, and I see my use of line as a tenuous analogy to traditional Asian ink painting. In my paintings\, drawings\, and site-specific installations\, I strive to delineate the emotional resonance that I see in forms made by natural forces. \nIn some works\, I draw masses of lines that evoke various influences: organic forms like hair\, muscles\, and fungi; natural systems such as waves and wind currents; geological strata; and topographical maps. In other works\, I use hand-drawn lines to interpret records of physical effects of nature in my immediate surroundings—like a bent window plane\, or the decaying walls in my former studio. My process includes making tracings and rubbings of surfaces like plywood and cracking plaster\, and I think of these marks as the calligraphic and quotidian signatures of the effects of nature. Resulting from impersonal forces\, such as water and gravity\, these marks record the residue of growth\, change\, and decay in ceilings\, walls\, and floors. I consider my works some personal interpretations of the material evidence of time. \nAbout Deanna Lee \nDeanna Lee was born in Carmel\, New York\, to parents who emigrated from China and Taiwan\, and she was raised in suburban Boston. After many years of classical music training on several instruments\, she received degrees in art from Oberlin College and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, and she studied at the Rome campus of the Tyler School of Art. \nShe has had solo exhibitions at Robert Henry Contemporary\, Wave Hill\, and PS122 in New York City; Earlville Opera House\, New York; and Artemisia Gallery\, Chicago. Her work has appeared in group shows at numerous venues\, including: The Drawing Center\, Abrons Art Center\, NURTUREart\, Trestle Projects\, Pace University\, and Schema Projects in New York City; Aron Packer Gallery\, Hyde Park Art Center\, and Jan Cicero Gallery in Chicago; SPACES in Cleveland; Maloney Gallery\, Morristown\, New Jersey; and George Mason University\, Fairfax\, Virginia. \nDeanna’s public art works include a 700-foot-long mural on bicycle path barriers in Flushing\, Queens\, commissioned by the NYC Department of Transportation; a custom design for tree guards in the Fort Greene and Clinton Hill neighborhoods of Brooklyn; and a site-specific drawing installation for a storefront window in Bay Ridge\, Brooklyn. \nShe has received a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant\, a travel grant from the Asia Society in New York\, the BRIC Media Fellowship in Brooklyn\, the Manhattan Graphics Center Scholarship\, the Linda Kramer Fellowship in Chicago\, and two grants from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs. She was a 2010 recipient of a Abbey Mural Fellowship from the National Academy.

SUMMARY:CRS Sound Healing Circle
DESCRIPTION:[et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”] \nThis month CRS Founder ACIM teacher/writer/counselor Yasuko Kasaki\, CRS healer Miyoko Satoh\, and dancer Lale Sayoko join our Circle. We’ll start with Miyoko’s crystal singing bowl meditation. Then we’ll journey. Last month was the time for shaking loose the old. June is a month where our seeds begin to bear fruit — Strawberry Moon! Yasuko will lead us in a short prayer to focus our minds on harvesting our limitless abundance\, and Lale Sayoko will close the circle with a demonstration of Sufi dance meditation. \nThe fee is $20 through June 21 and $25 on June 22. \nOur purpose\, guided by our devoted study and practice of A Course in Miracles\, is to remind one another that we are one and the same\, always already perfect expressions of love. Therefore\, we will be training ourselves to look for and find such reminders in all of our visions and experiences. While the forms of our activities draw on or are adapted from various shamanic and healing traditions\, we do not seek to hold up any particular forms as essential or superior in and of themselves. Any form or experience could be used to remember who we truly are and to join with others. We will be using these particular forms simply because we enjoy them! \nCRS Co-Founder Christopher Pelham will lead the circle this month. Chris has a background in ensemble and improvisational theatre and has been studying ACIM since 2003 and offering healing and spiritual counseling since 2013. He leads the Monday night guided meditation and Healing Clinic at CRS\, teaches A Course of Love on Wednesday nights\, participates in the Tuesday night Healing Clinics and assists Yasuko in the leading of the Monday night ACIM Classes. \n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
