PERFORMANCES
Pinc Louds – Rooftop Concert (Sunset Stage)
Pinc Louds’ lead singer, Claudi (all pronouns accepted), moved from Puerto Rico to NYC in 2015 to fulfill their dream of playing in the subway. This immersion into the city’s underground, performing daily for a steady stream of New Yorkers, sculpted the sound and look of the band.
Their music blends punk energy and crooner-style singing with elements of art-rock, electronic and Caribbean music to create a sound that is as exciting as it is unique. Their influences include such diverse artists as Pixies, Billie Holiday, Daniel Johnston, Cortijo y su Combo and Animal Collective.
In 2020, with venues closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Pinc Louds began playing regularly at Tompkins Square Park in the East Village. These physically-distanced shows gained popularity and brought together a community hungry for music, joy and human connection. They were hailed as the band that “saved summer” by ABC News and Gothamist as well as "NYC's best imaginary band" by The Village Voice.
Lucy Livingston – Live Performance titled Flower Fun! Snip Snip Glug Glug Heehee Flower Fun, at Last Frontier NYC.
Lucy Livingston is a queer, New York-based, multi-hyphenate artist with a focus on performance and design exploring themes of love, gender, sexuality, and dreams. Her work has been shared throughout New York, as well as Cincinnati and Providence Fringe Festivals. She makes puppets, writes, produces, designs, and literally anything else her (or your) work requires! Hire her! Woohoo! For the festival, Lucy will present a new clown piece, "Flower Fun!" devised with/directed by Bailey Nassetta, with whom she has collaborated for over 10 years!
Petra Zanki – Murmurations (Work-in-Process Dance Performance)
Murmurations is a high-impact, site-specific choreography with eight dancers reflecting on collective power, interconnection, and Agape. Drawing from the synchronized flight of birds, it envisions dancers as vessels of human potential—capable of navigating chaos through movement and unity.
ONGOING ART INSTALLATIONS & ACTIVATIONS
Dan Gorelick – Meditations on Geological Time Installation (Inside Last Frontier NYC)
Meditations on Geological Time is an interactive sound installation mediating the relationship between geological timescales and phenomenological time through four distinct sound compositions. Each composition sonifies terrestrial phenomena within the range of human hearing as pure-tone sine waves, rendering billions of years of the Earth’s transformations as a legible, contemporary experience.
