What’s Planned for Our Winter Tea Experience
- Sound Performances by Ma, Testu Collective, and Dan Gorelick
Maria Takeuchi and Alec Fellman of Ma will start with a longform music performance in collaboration with Serena Stucke and Dan Tesene of Testu Collective. They will create an intricate soundscape through amplified objects and synthesized sounds. Artist and cello player Dan Gorelick will perform a solo cello set, and join in the collective soundscape with MA and Testu Collective to close the performance. - Odes to Common Things Poetry Writing with Robin Lampman
Participate in our ongoing community art project, Odes to Common Things, through poetry writing to reflect on our shared experiences and this moment. To learn more about the project, check here. - Ikebana Installation by Kristina Bajunaisgvili
