Translating Sonnets
Translating Sonnets
Free
In collaboration with Thomas Fucaloro (Creating Space) we present a night of Shakespeare reimagined. 10 Classically trained actors present a Shakespearean Sonnet in traditional form, and 10 local poets "translate" the sonnet into their own contemporary version. A contemporary twist of classic poetry that can be understood and enjoyed by modern audiences.
VAUNT Showcase
We gather to showcase Staten Island Storytellers through use of multimedia presentations.
Annual Artist presentation
Free
Vaunt, by definition is to boast or praise excessively. During the VAUNT showcase we boast about and praise three local storytellers. Each program offers a chance for local vendors to display and sell their goods as we watch local artists perform and share their stories. Submission for consideration in future VAUNT showcases will be open soon. Stay tuned for updates.
