SUMMARY:Earth Day Initiative’s Earth Day 2025 Festival in Union Square
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is delighted to support Kaeshi Chai\, Han Luckybee\, Patricia Gonzalez\, and Hila the Earth’s dance theater action at Earth Day Initiative’s Earth Day 2025 Festival in Union Square on Thursday\, April 17\, 2025\, from 1 – 2 pm and again from 4 – 5 pm. \nWe’re coming together to tune in\, go green\, and call for climate action. Join the climate conversation at a pivotal time! Let’s be present together in solidarity\, standing up for sustainability\, cooperation\, mindfulness\, connection\, and peace. \nMindfulness\, creativity\, and nature have a synergistic relationship. As long as we regard ourselves as separate beings struggling to survive\, we cannot be what we are born to be. When we allow ourselves to be present in nature\, we automatically quiet our minds and connect to the endlessly creative Oneness of what is. We remember who we are. When we embrace our spiritual limitlessness\, we can let go of the temptation to destructively exploit our world to try to survive. \nThe Festival will run from 12 – 6 pm in the north end of Union Square in Manhattan and will feature   \n\nExhibits by dozens of environmental non-profits\, climate campaigns\, green living experts\, and sustainable businesses (see line-up below)\nA special Clean Energy Exhibition\, in partnership with Con Edison\, featuring great green groups creating a clean energy future (see details below)\nInteractive workshops\nLive performances from Hila the Earth and APO HAHA CALYPSE (see schedule below)\nClimate art\nKids’ activities\nSustainable foods\n\nCheck below for details!\nhttps://www.earthdayinitiative.org/earth-day-2025-festival \nKaeshi Chai is an educator\, dancer\, choreographer\, designer\, producer\, and director whose life mission is to serve our precious planet and empower others through the vehicle of art. She co-founded PURE Globe\, an international community focused on healing and social change\, the Bellyqueen company and school\, as well as Djam NYC shows featuring live music and dance. She has taught / performed in 48 states and 39 countries and is an alumni member of the Bellydance Superstars\, Bellydance Evolution\, Bella Gaia (Beautiful Earth) and Spector Dance. As a producer\, Kaeshi has organized over 600 events (shows\, tours\, conferences). Kaeshi holds multiple certifications in movement (dance\, fitness\, pilates\, yoga)\, created the Bellyqueen Teacher Training program and graduated with honors in a degree in Design from the University of Technology\, Sydney. She meditates daily and practices NVC (Non Violent Communication). \nCurrent projects include “Ocean Stories” integrating art and science for environmental awareness\, and “Becoming – Exploring Identity”. Kaeshi contributes dance and movement meditations for events organized by Unity Earth\, Purpose Earth\, and the Global Peace Tribe. Kaeshi performed in “Wildfires” by Spector Dance\, at the opening night of “Plantasticas” by the Exploratorium Museum\, and was commissioned to create a dance piece about the root systems of forests for the Exploratorium on May 4th. She is a proud member of Evolutionary Leaders\, a circle of innovative thinkers (including Deepak Chopra) who have dedicated their lives and work to human\, social and planetary transformation. \nhttps://linktr.ee/kaeshichai \nHila the Earth is an Eco-Rapper\, Comedian\, and Content Creator.  \nShe performs as Planet Earth and writes songs and makes videos about ecological topics such as; trees\, vegetables\, compost\, soil health\, water\, mushrooms\, reducing plastic waste\, and the list keeps growing.

She has also created a fusion that mixes ballet with other styles of dance as belly dance as an alternative dance training. \nHan Luckybee is a New York based performer and dance instructor that is fluent in Chinese\, Spanish and English. She is passionate about culture\, movement and expression. Her dance journey first began when she fell in love with belly dance while training at the Bellyqueen School of Dance. Han completed the 40 hour Bellyqueen Teacher Training course in 2017 and 200 hr yoga teacher training in 2019 in India. She continues to grow her passion for dance by exploring different styles such as Traditional Chinese dance\, West African\, Contemporary Indian\, Ballet\, Street Jazz and Reggaeton. \nShe is featured regularly at “Casa La Femme”\, an Egyptian restaurant in the west village. Other notable performances include dancing in Bellyqueen’s “Journey along the Silk Road’ in Milan\, Italy\, Brooklyn Ballet’s “Nutcracker”\, with the band “Beats Antique” at Brooklyn Steel\, and “Ravens Night” at the Birchmere in Washington DC. \nShe believes in the power of dance and music to connect with oneself\, nature\, and with others.

SUMMARY:CRS at La Mama Moves! Dance Festival: Please Cry by Megumi Eda
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is honored to participate once again in the La Mama Moves! Dance Festival. This year we co-present the US premiere of Please Cry\, a solo dance/theatre work created and performed by Berlin-based artist Megumi Eda with original music by Reiko Yamada and lighting by Clifton Taylor. Performances take place at The Club at La Mama on April 25 and 26 at 7:30 pm and on April 27 at 3 pm on a shared program with Alexis Chartrand & Nic Gareiss. \n“One day\, I discovered a photograph revealing that my grandmother had been a military nurse for Japan during World War II. Later\, I watched a documentary about a woman who\, like her\, had served in the war\, sharing long-buried trauma. Had my grandmother endured something similar? I don’t really know…” — Megumi Eda \nPlease Cry is a deeply personal solo performance blending dance\, live video\, and music to explore intergenerational trauma\, resilience\, and the lingering impact of war. Inspired by the silence surrounding Megumi’s grandmother’s past\, the piece expresses how unspoken histories echo across generations. Through movement\, Megumi seeks to embody these inherited emotions\, giving form to what words cannot express. War’s trauma is never just history—it lingers\, passed down like an unbroken chain. \nThe 80th anniversary of the end of WWII is fast approaching. The number of people who experienced the war personally is dwindling. Their memories are passing into history. We at CRS choose to share this powerful meditation on the multigenerational traumas of war so that those who have not known war can better relate and\, hopefully\, choose to stand for peace. \nThe Club\n74 East 4th Street\, 2nd floor\nNew York\, NY 10003 \nTickets:\nAdults: $30\nStudents/Seniors: $25\nFirst 10 tickets are $10 (limit 2 per person)\nTicket link: https://www.lamama.org/chartrand-gareiss-megumi-eda/ \nThe premiere of Please Cry in 2022 was co-produced by Megumi Eda and DOCK ART\, funded by the Senate Department for Culture and Europe\, and supported by Tir Danza. https://www.tirdanza.it/megumi-eda/ The NY production is made possible by a travel grant from CRS. \n“Beautiful ballerinas are often caught in their own beauty. They definitely don’t know how to mug. But Megumi can morph in a flash from small boy to impossibly regal diva to a small squirrel chewing on a nut.” — Laurie Anderson \n Megumi Eda is a dancer and filmmaker creating multimedia works at the intersection of theater\, dance\, and film. She began her career at 17 with the Hamburg Ballet\, later joining the Dutch National Ballet and Rambert Dance Company. In 2004\, she moved to New York as a founding member of Armitage Gone! Dance\, collaborating on over a dozen new works and winning the Bessie Award that year. Her long-term collaboration with Yoshiko Chuma has led to innovative performance projects. Now based in Berlin\, she focuses on exploring Multi-Generational War Trauma\, Women’s Rights\, and Institutional Abuse in the Dance World through works like fish άɪ lens (2025)\, Please Cry (2022)\, and DIVINE (2023) with Yuko Kaseki. \nhttps://megumieda.com \n La MaMa Moves! Dance Festival continues to support La MaMa’s commitment to presenting diverse performance styles that challenge audience’s perception of dance by featuring performance/installations\, experimental film screenings & public symposiums which address dance artists’ engagement with the current political climate\, as well as honoring diasporic histories and legacy\, ancestral inspirations and inter-generational dialogue. \nhttps://www.lamama.org/la-mama-moves-2025/ \n
