COME JOIN US THIS SATURDAY MAY 22!

B. CREATE. BIRTHDAY SYMPOSIUM

Celebrating creativity and resiliency

Celebrate our birthday with us by celebrating artists from all over the world! We welcome our community of artists and arts supporters to join us for the B. Create. 2021 Symposium. The 2021 Symposium will take place over one day, with three events: “Moving Towards a Higher Vibration”, OPEN MIC: On Film, and OPEN MIC 7.0. These events specifically cater to the needs of artists after over a year of the pandemic - and provide a chance for us to celebrate what has come out of the past year.

 

“MOVING TOWARDS A HIGHER VIBRATION” 

A B. Create. x HartHeals workshop @10:00 AM EST

This workshop is an opportunity for us to facilitate the safe space that we desire as artists. Through the workshop, we aim to be in community, moving together, releasing stresses (and beyond), moving with curiosity, mindfulness, and with a spirit of play and gratitude. Facilitators will lead exercises that seek to guide these explorations above, while reminding us of our own resilience and creativity as human beings. The B. Create Team. and HartHeals have come together in collaboration to create this special opportunity for us to improvise, meditate, visualise, and foster community discussion. 

 

OPEN MIC: ON FILM @ 2:00 PM EST

What happens to artists in a pandemic? First came zoom, then came dancing on zoom, and then came the dance films! Artists have been creating dance films all along, but this time has certainly provided a unique outlet. After over a year of living in a pandemic, we have seen the resiliency of our community emerge on screen. We are hosting an afternoon/evening to screen some of the incredible dance films created by an international group of artists. Join us for the screening and a discussion with the artists afterwards about how they have shifted their focus to still create art in this changed world we are living in. 

 

OPEN MIC 7.0 @ 4:00 PM EST 

Come one, come all, to the one year anniversary of the B. Create. community classic: OPEN MIC. To celebrate this momentous occasion, OPEN MIC 7.0 will feature a tremendous roster of artists performing live from all over the world. Whether it’s dance, music, poetry, comedy, you name it, this variety show surprises and delights our audiences, thanks to the brilliance of our community of artists. This event started in the first Symposium and has continued every other month ever since. It’s something that we always look forward to and we cannot wait to round off the day with this special event.
