Greetings friends,
At GOH Productions, we continue to do our best, like everyone around us, to stay focused on what is essential during this unprecedented time.
We have taken part in some awesome online programs; and our artists and leaders are trying to stay positive. I personally am staying informed, by joining citywide and smaller cultural zoom calls; while seeing where our programing might land in the next year or two.
We mourn the loss of friends and colleagues; and we work in solidarity with movements for justice in society and culture in every walk of life.
And we mourn the loss of our gorgeous dance studio at 55 Ave C, which was lovingly transformed in 2010 by Chris and Martha Tornay from a decrepit storefront. We had a great 10 years in the space.
We are confident that the theater and performing arts world will come back, but in the meantime we offer ONLINE, VIRTUAL programming with some of our artists, who are able to do this extraordinary transition. Czechoslovak-American Marionette Theatre, led by Vit Horejs is continuously presenting stories with some puppets and ‘live’ online music; Carrie Beehan/Trystette has the Pande-mic program which features many of our GOH artists; and East Village Dance Project continues online dance educational and performance programs by young emerging dancers. Art in Odd Places annual Festival will take place in May 2021, instead of Fall 2020, but forges on!
Please do stay in touch. Call or write. Be part of the change we need.
with love and care,
Bonnie Sue Stein, Executive Director
