Vermont Performance Lab: Dahlia Nayar
WHEN: Saturday, May 18, 7pm
WHERE: Broad Brook Grange, 3940 Guilford Center Road, Guilford
TICKETS: Performance is FREE and open to the public. Dim Sum dinner: $20 Adults & $13 Children 12 and under.
Vermont Performance Lab’s IN THE WORKS series continues with an informal showing of 2125 Stanley Street, a new work being developed by Asian American choreographer Dahlia Nayar. For this new work, Nayar has been investigating ideas of belonging and not belonging, the beauty and challenge of adapting to habitats scattered around the globe in contemporary society and the nature of nostalgia.
2125 Stanley Street is informed by Nayar’s personal experiences of being raised in a bicultural household by immigrant parents from India and the Philippines, and the recalling, remembering and re- imagining of the most intimate exchanges within the realm of a domestic space. Within and alongside her rehearsal experiments in 2013, Nayar and her collaborators have begun excavating their own archives of multicultural domestic histories. The artists’ family archives contain over 20,000 digitized photos and hundreds of hours of films and sound recordings that document aspects of the artists’ families pre and post immigration to the United States (from India, the Philippines, Japan and North Korea) and migration within the United States (Illinois, Nebraska, New York, Seattle, San Diego).
During her VPL residency, Nayar was able to connect with individuals from the Asian American community in and around Brattleboro, VT as part of her creative research. In May, Nayar returns with her collaborators, dancer Margaret Sunghe Paek and composer Loren Kiyoshi Dempster, for a creation residency with VPL to further develop the movement and sound material for 2125 Stanley Street. On May 18th they will share some of their experiments, research and ideas with VPL’s audience at the Broad Brook Grange in Guilford, VT.
Immediately following the performance, VPL audiences have the opportunity to collectively sit down together and share a meal – a Dim Sum dinner catered by chef and artist Cai Silver of Cai’s Dim Sum Teahouse.

Guilford Community Church is hosting an African supper as a fundraiser for re-forestation efforts in Kenya.
The menu includes traditional meat and vegetarian dishes such as fried plantain, African roasted vegetable soup, Samosas, Chicken Tikka, beef stew, vegetable curry, spiced red beans in coconut milk and cornbread, with Maandazi, a sweet donut, served for dessert with ginger tea.
This effort is a continuation of the long-standing partnership between the Guilford Church and the Kenyan village of Kaiguchu, where a youth contingency from Brattleboro performed service projects last spring, including tree planting, with the youth of that community. It is also part of a 50-day MISSSION 4-1-Earth campaign by all UCC denominations to plant 100,000 trees worldwide in a church-wide earth care initiative.
Tickets will also be available at the door until sold out. Through this initiative, even people who can’t make the supper can purchase a tree to be planted in Kenya for $1 as part of the Mission 4/1 Earth goal to plant 100,000 trees worldwide.
Directions: 1-91 to Vermont Exit 1 (Brattleboro), south on Route 5 to just past the Guilford Country Store, left on Bee Barn Road, left again on Church Drive. To make reservations or for more information call (802) 254-9329 or email skowings@gmail.com.

Fishtank Ensemble
WHEN: Saturday, May 18 at 7:30 pm
WHERE: Hooker Dunham Theater at 139 Main Street in downtown Brattleboro
TICKETS: $15 General / $13 Students and Seniors
Twilight Music presents California-based, world music quartet Fishtank Ensemble. The dynamic, virtuosic and fiery band plays a high-energy mix of Romanian, Gypsy jazz, flamenco, Balkan, Turkish, Greek and tango influenced music.
Fishtank Ensemble includes two explosive violins, the world’s best slap bass player, musical saw, flamenco and gypsy jazz guitar, trombone, opera, jazz and gypsy vocals, accordion and one little banjolele. Formed in 2005 and playing everywhere from the hippest LA clubs to festivals, cultural centers, museums, parades and even on the street, the band tackles everything from French hot jazz to wild Serbian and Transylvanian gypsy anthems, flamenco and oddball originals.
Fabrice Martinez, Ursula Knudson, Douglas Smolens and Djordje Stijepovic’s influences are rooted in their varied musical and national backgrounds, as well as from their adventures and travels. Knudson sang opera on the streets and town squares of Italy, until she found a love of gypsy music. French violinist Martinez voyaged around all of Europe in a handmade mule-drawn caravan for ten years, collecting music and experiences. Serbian bassist Stijepovic has spent time playing with gypsies, as well as some of the rock and roll’s legends. Guitarist Smolens is a master of flamenco and gypsy jazz guitar who honed his craft in the gypsy caves of Granada, Spain.
