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.

Crude Tapes is excited to share Olana Z Flynn’s first solo music release - Sing the Next Time. Flynn, a formally trained dancer and choreographer, has organically developed a music practice to score her own live performances. With Sing the Next Time, Flynn worked on a body of music explicitly not meant for live performance while retaining the “liveness” of her previous work. The result is a haunting confluence of the American noise tradition and the American folk tradition. Two forms both firmly rooted in tradition and ritual, Flynn is able to transcend both by artfully juxtaposing these different styles through minimal means. Electronic motifs bubble and overtake while her voice comes in and out -- an oscillation of rhythm, feedback, and voice. Spanning the entirety of Side B, “bow down like the willow / come and go with me” is the apex of Flynn’s musical and conceptual ideas: seamlessly blending noisey electronics with vocal interpolations of American folks tunes all performed in one take.
All proceeds to benefit Ma’s House Studio.
