Ecstatic Dance Nyack: Harvest Ball

by

In the spirit of harvest, we gather in dance. Through movement, we embody the joy of the harvest feast, the reverence of ritual, and the catharsis of somatic release. Together we step into revelry, grounding ourselves in gratitude for the earth’s generosity, and in the kinship of community.
Ecstatic Dance is a form of freeform movement where participants let go of inhibitions and dance to the rhythm of the music without following any structured steps or routines. It’s a way to express oneself authentically through movement in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

The Exonerated: Staged Reading

by

This spellbinding play, written by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen, tells the true stories of six wrongfully convicted survivors of death row. Culled from interviews, letters, transcripts, case files and the public record, The Exonerated moves between first-person monologues and scenes in courtroom and prison settings. Six interwoven stories: One deeply flawed and compromised American criminal justice system.

Directed by ArtsRock’s own Elliott Forrest, the performance will feature Tony winner Danny Burstein, Adam Goldberg, Frankie Faison, Isabel Arraiza, S.Tyrone Williams, James Udon, Andrew Greenway, Candace Lynn Matthews, Meg Sewell,
and Danny Charest.
