This January 2024, A.P.E. will host a special two-day live performance event to celebrate the reopening of the Workroom at 33 Hawley after its extensive renovations. The event will echo the pre-renovation participatory ceremonies of MAKING GROUND, a public art + drawing project, in which the community covered the 3800 sq-foot floor of the Workroom with chalked drawings in an invitation to consider creative engagements with land, community, space, imagination, and stewardship.
For this January event, 16 artists and artist groups—dancers, musicians, performance + theater artists, writers, and poets—have been invited to create a performance offering of 6 minutes or less. Confirmed artists include: Frieda Kipar Bay and Jesse Olsen Bay, Javiera Benavente, Mary Beth Brooker, Roy Faudree, Julia Handschuh and Anna Hendricks, Hatchery Youth Performance Company, LOCULUS Collective (Olana Flynn and Madison Palffy), Trenda Loftin, Emrys Maxner, Rowyn Maxner, Jen Polins, Gabrielle Revlock, Ro Sigle, Jules Skloot, Batya Sobel, and Anne Woodhull.

Stay tuned for more details.
