Artist Camilo Godoy recently transformed Recess into a dance studio as part of his Session: Out of Control. During his time at Recess, Godoy developed a choreography with dancers Julianne Cariño, Miguel Angel Guzmán, and Yolette Yellow-Duke entitled What did they actually see? and engaged the public through film screenings, workshops, performances, and a dance party. Join us on Wednesday, February 13 at 7pm for a zine launch of a publication that includes photographs from this Session and a text by Vivian Crockett commissioned as part of Recess's Critical Writing Program. This event will include a performance demonstration followed by a conversation between Crockett, Godoy, Cariño, Yellow-Duke, and the audience. Julianne Cariño is a Brooklyn-based, interdisciplinary movement artist. She confronts the tension and beauty of the indigenous body through performance and somatic inquiry. Julianne’s choreographic work is centered in the excavation of ancestral patterning and wisdom. Channeling this divine resource has cultivated immense healing within her and throughout her communities. Julianne has premiered her work at Dixon Place, Jennifer Muller/The Works, Bates Dance Festival, Brooklyn Arts Exchange, 92Y Harkness Dance Center, and Earthdance Creative Living Project. She has had the pleasure of performing professionally in the work of Kimberly Tate/Akim Funk Buddha, Donna Costello, Noah Harharah, Trina Mannino, and Netta Yerushalmy as part of a repertory course at the American Dance Festival.Vivian Crockett is a New York–based independent researcher, scholar, and curator focusing largely on modern and contemporary art of African diasporas, (Afro)Latinx diasporas, and the Americas at the varied intersections of race, gender, and queer theory.
