About this event
Brooklyn’s favorite free theater, Molière in the Park is back with a staged reading of Le’Asha Julius’ new play The Regulars + Molière’s The Ludicrous Ladies at Prospect Park’s Picnic House!

FREE to attend with RSVP
Performance runtime: 90 minutes, no intermission
Snacks and beverages will be available for purchase

Cast

Waymon Arnette, MaYaa Boateng, Luca Fontaine, Le’Asha Julius, Lakisha May, Keshav Moodliar.

The Regulars is directed by Le’Asha Julius
The Ludicrous Ladies is directed by Lucie Tiberghien, translation by Maya Slater

“Pairing The Regulars, a short tragedy in verse by rapper, actor, and playwright Le’Asha Julius with The Ludicrous Ladies, a one act comedy in prose by Molière might appear at first as an exercise in contrast. New versus old, serious versus farcical, political versus domestic… but in content and in form the plays, of course, are neither fully one nor the other. More importantly, despite the time and space that separates their authors, both plays center two impassioned women with complex desires. Desires they fight for, and that may or may not be born exclusively out of the limitations imposed on them by their place in the world. Will this pairing open up an angle of reflection on women’s struggles and how they’ve evolved or persisted? We hope you’ll join us to find out!”
– Lucie Tiberghien

“As a classically trained thespian who discovered her musical talents in acting school, Molière has always stood out to me for his brilliant use of language and fun characters. As I began to create more music, I learned the value of storytelling through verse, a skill that affected me mostly through hip-hop and Molière. Almost two years ago, while living in my van traveling back and forth between New York and Washington D.C., due to my teaching schedule, I was inspired to write a story based on forbidden love and challenged myself to use language in a classically heightened style. Out birthed The Regulars, a story of lovers separated by animosity and bloodshed, obstacles that we are still battling today.”
– Le’Asha Julius

Molière in the Park
Since 2019, Molière in the Park has been creating opportunities for Brooklynites to experience world class theater right in their borough – and at no cost. Over the past 3 years of programming, over 15,000 Brooklynites have seen one of our shows.

Le’Asha Julius
Le’Asha Julius is an actress from Washington D.C., known for her role as Wendy in HBO’s Random Acts of Flyness and Jasmine in Still Here which premiered at The Sundance Film Festival. Le’Asha has worked with The Public Theater, The Eugene O’Neill Theater Center, Howard University, and Carnegie Hall among many others. In her free time, she’s a rapper/ songwriter and has performed at Black Thought’s “School of Thought” and has opened for several artists including Kendrick Lamar, Salt ‘n’ Peppa, Noname, and Talib Kweli. Le’Asha is currently the first year acting teacher at SUNY Purchase’s Conservatory of Acting BFA program.

Molière
Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known by his stage name Molière, was a French playwright, actor, and poet, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in the French language and world literature. Molière’s plays capture Brooklyn both in style and content: funny, gritty, progressive, disruptive, and embracing of all types of people. Through the lens of his stories, we see ourselves and others as imperfect and intertwined humans.

Maya Slater

Maya Slater’s verse translations of Molière, The Misanthrope, Tartuffe and Other Plays, are published by Oxford Word’s Classics. She has published other translations of French plays and, in collaboration with her husband, Nicolas Pasternak Slater, of Russian literature. Their Anna Karenina is currently in press. She is now translating a selection of Molière’s prose plays for Oxford World’s Classics. A Senior Research Fellow of Queen Mary, University of London, she has written several books on French writers, and a novel, The Private Diary of Mr Darcy.

Produced by Molière in the Park, in partnership with Prospect Park Alliance and The Brooklyn Public Library.

The Dance Historian Is In: Nicole Duffy on Robert Joffrey’s The Nutcracker For this month’s The Dance Historian Is In, former Joffrey Ballet dancer Nicole Duffy presents the holiday classic The Nutcracker. @ New York Public Library for the Performing Arts -Bruno Walter Auditorium Enter via 111 Amsterdam Ave. between West 64th and 65th Street New York, NY 10023-7498 United States

About this event
Event lasts 2 hours
Premiering in 1987, Robert Joffrey’s The Nutcracker adopted elements of the classical 19th-century original by Lev Ivanov and Marius Petipa and made it distinctly American, setting the narrative in an American household, complete with vintage toys from Joffrey’s own collection. For this month’s The Dance Historian Is In, former Joffrey Ballet dancer Nicole Duffy speaks about Joffrey’s take on the holiday classic The Nutcracker. Having danced in Robert Joffrey’s production for many years, Duffy shares her experiences on the stage along with photos and video from the Jerome Robbins Dance Division.

For more than 10 years, The Dance Historian Is In at the Library for the Performing Arts has highlighted a diverse range of dancers and choreographers across history. This series began when archivist and historian David Vaughan started volunteering at the Jerome Robbins Dance Division. Vaughan began a monthly program showing his favorite dance films from the Division’s extensive collection, through which he unearthed many treasures, and helped acquire even more. Vaughan continued the series until the end of his life. Today, we honor his memory and work by inviting dance historians from all over the world each month to carry on the tradition of highlighting dance history through the Dance Division’s moving image collection.

WHAT IS A ONE-DAY CHOIR?

Gaia Music Collective’s One-Day Choir series is an opportunity to sing in a choir for one day only. A celebration of song and the connective power of singing in harmony. An opportunity to build community, make some new friends, and raise our powerfully diverse voices as one.

No auditions. No commitment. No judgment or need for perfection.

Just the joy of creating something bigger than ourselves with a room full of beautiful humans!

For each choir, we pick a piece of music to rehearse and sing our hearts out to. In our time together, we’ll:

Play some fun singing games, warmups, and connection games
Work through the piece section by section
Break down the lyrics and emotions at play in the song
Shape some key musical moments
and Record some casual rehearsal videos of the piece to have for ourselves and share with the greater Gaia community
Whether you’re a vocal ensemble veteran or have never sung in a group before, you are welcome here – all experience levels are valued in Gaia Music Collective!

OUR SONG THIS TIME AROUND

Something Wicked this way comes… As the release of this much anticipated movie rolls our way, we figured we would pay tribute to this iconic song from a musical that has captured the hearts of so many! At its core, Wicked is an outsider story: a story of someone who society deems “different” seeking belonging, finding friendship, embracing their power, and fighting for justice. Defying Gravity is the Act I finale of the show, a soaring anthem of empowerment sung by Elphaba as a declaration to those who would try and control her.

We are very excited to share that this choir will be collaboratively led and arranged by both Matt and Kenter, two of our favorite Gaia magic-makers. They’re brewing up something incredibly special for us to sing together, a choral version of this song that will bring this epic song to life in entirely new ways.

LEARNING THE MUSIC

Sheet music and vocal recordings of each part will be available as learning resources at least a week before the event, to accommodate multiple ways of learning. These resources will either be included in your order confirmation or sent out in an email!

The intention is for us to come into the gathering having already familiarized ourselves with the parts, so that we can spend our time together really diving into the joys of connection and expression in the music rather than simply teaching parts one by one. That being said, we’re just doing this for ourselves, so there’s no need to stress over it (and definitely no need to memorize it or get it “perfect”, ever)! It’s also often easier to sing in person, when the rest of our part-buddies are singing the part with us. The community is here to support! Our primary intention here is simply to have fun and make some great music.

(If this style of learning isn’t your cup of tea, we have other group singing events where you don’t need to prepare at all! Check out our CircleSinging gatherings and House Shows.)

LED and FACILITATED BY:

Matt Goldstein (he/him) is an award-winning arranger, facilitator, improviser, songwriter, and educator who is known for his emotive vocal arrangements, soulful singing, heart-forward facilitation, and visionary leadership. After making waves in the a cappella scene as music director of The Vassar Devils and Hyannis Sound, he went on to found Gaia Music Collective, a collaborative music community that is achieving international recognition for its work in creating kind, connective, accessible spaces for musical play and expression. He currently serves as Gaia’s Co-Director and Lead Facilitator, while also performing as an improviser and singer-songwriter, directing at A Cappella Academy, leading Rock Voices (a community pop-rock choir), and teaching vocal improv intensives through Flow Labs.

Kenter Davies (he/him) is a vocal arranger, music educator, and choral facilitator based in Brooklyn, New York. He dedicates his work to creating spaces where people can engage with music without the pressure of perfection, but full of complexity and joy. He highlights the journey over the destination and firmly believes in making music for music-making’s sake. Kenter facilitates One Day Choirs and Folk Song Sings with Gaia, an organization that truly helped him find his voice. His greatest love is helping others find their voices and having fun doing it!

We ask that you arrive no later than 30 minutes after start time, after which we close the doors (lovingly) in order to preserve the intimacy and trust of the musical container we’re building. Thank you for understanding!

CANCELLATION POLICY

Tickets are refundable up to 24 hours before the event, after which we are no longer able to offer refunds. This policy helps us keep these events financially sustainable for both our community and our team. If you RSVP but are no longer able to come, please let us know so that we may offer your spot to someone else! We want as many people to be able to experience these gatherings as possible, and since capacity is limited, each spot is precious.

NO ONE TURNED AWAY FOR LACK OF FUNDS

Gaia is funded by sliding scale ticket donations, with a “no one turned away for lack of funds” policy. It is of the utmost importance to us that these events remain affordable and accessible – we never want money to be a barrier to making music together.

OUR MISSION

Gaia Music Collective is an NYC-based creative community seeking to foster a more connected world through collective music-making. Founded in June of 2021 in a living room in Brooklyn, this project was born out of a desire to create accessible, inclusive, playful spaces for people to explore connection, expression, healing, and release through collaborative song – spaces where folks feel empowered to make music free of judgment or expectation, and to make new friends as our full, beautiful, authentic selves.

We believe that communal music-making is a fundamental human practice, and this project seeks to build spaces for folks to nurture their relationship to music, whether they’re shower singers, professional musicians, or anything in between.

All are welcome in this community. Gaia seeks to foster spaces of belonging for humans of all ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, classes, religions, abilities, national origins, languages, and musical experiences. All we ask is that you bring an open mind, a desire to connect, and a willingness to leave judgment of self and others at the door.

This event page is for PART ONE of The Poetry Project’s 51st Annual New Year’s Day Marathon

Our favorite event, ritual, fever-dream, party, myth of the year is back! Please join us on January 1, 2025 for The Poetry Project’s 51st Annual New Year’s Day Marathon.

A daylong celebration of the actualizing power of poetry and performance, the Marathon is an event that feels like it happens because it has to and wants to—because we need it to. It’s as though every year before and every year following were somehow all leading up to it—this day, a time-honored tradition and a spacetime anomaly. It’s the annual event by which we mark our calendars and simultaneously serves as a disruption to the very idea of time—a sort of ridiculous compass—a day when nothing makes sense, or maybe the only day when everything becomes clear.

We don’t really know what the Marathon is, or how exactly it comes together, and probably never will. But what is certain is that the Marathon changes us every year—which is precisely the power of its expansiveness, magnetism, impact, and ability to bring us together. It is a testament to our belief that poetry, performance, the avant-garde, the raucous, sexy, surprising, subaltern, the weird, have the ability to effect change. A radical spark that stirs what is within us to ignition—a transformation and transmission that reaches beyond us. The Marathon is our annual reaffirmation in the strength of collectivity, in knowing that what we do here—together—does something.

Resonating within and across the legacies and lineages of past New Year’s Marathons—the first coordinated in 1974 by the ever-wonderful and much beloved co-founder and past Director of the Project, Anne Waldman—this monumental gathering features over 130 poets, musicians, dancers, writers, and performers who share work throughout the day. The Marathon has become our annual calling card, a rallying cry, and biggest fundraiser.

The funds raised at the New Year’s Day Marathon directly support:

The Poetry Project’s 50+ live readings and events which are livestreamed (for free!) and reach thousands of in-person and virtual attendees each year
Our quarterly Newsletter which publishes a breadth of creative and scholarly writing
Our learning programs which serve hundreds of workshop attendees each season, including at least 3 fully-funded scholarship recipients per workshop
The payments we make to the 200+ performers, readers, educators, lecturers, editors, curators, and writers we work with each year—as well as the audio and video techs that make our programs possible
The Marathon is crucial to sustaining The Poetry Project’s mission to serve and advocate for the vast community of poets, writers, artists, thinkers, and students who gather and make work here, and strengthens this cultural anti-enterprise that we have been collectively building for a half a century plus.

As we head into another year of compounded grief, unprecedented challenges, and palpable uncertainty, we look forward to the possibility of being with you all on January 1. What is there to hold onto? Each other, this day, our joy, our rage. Our impossible project. How do we hold onto it? By coming together. By organizing. With impossible belief.

See you in the New Year,
The Poetry Project

WHAT IS A ONE-DAY CHOIR?

Gaia Music Collective’s One-Day Choir series is an opportunity to sing in a choir for one day only. A celebration of song and the connective power of singing in harmony. An opportunity to build community, make some new friends, and raise our powerfully diverse voices as one.

No auditions. No commitment. No judgment or need for perfection.

Just the joy of creating something bigger than ourselves with a room full of beautiful humans!

For each choir, we pick a piece of music to rehearse and sing our hearts out to. In our time together, we’ll:

-Play some fun singing games, warmups, and connection games
-Work through the piece section by section
-Break down the lyrics and emotions at play in the song
-Shape some key musical moments
-and Record some casual rehearsal videos of the piece to have for ourselves and share with the greater Gaia community

Whether you’re a vocal ensemble veteran or have never sung in a group before, you are welcome here – all experience levels are valued in Gaia Music Collective!

There will be food/drink available for purchase at this venue!

OUR SONG THIS TIME AROUND

Something Wicked this way comes… As the release of this much anticipated movie rolls our way, we figured we would pay tribute to this iconic song from a musical that has captured the hearts of so many! At its core, Wicked is an outsider story: a story of someone who society deems “different” seeking belonging, finding friendship, embracing their power, and fighting for justice. Defying Gravity is the Act I finale of the show, a soaring anthem of empowerment sung by Elphaba as a declaration to those who would try and control her.

We are very excited to share that this choir will be collaboratively led and arranged by both Matt and Kenter, two of our favorite Gaia magic-makers. They’re brewing up something incredibly special for us to sing together, a choral version of this song that will bring this epic song to life in entirely new ways.

LEARNING THE MUSIC

Sheet music and vocal recordings of each part will be available as learning resources at least a week before the event, to accommodate multiple ways of learning. These resources will either be included in your order confirmation or sent out in an email!

The intention is for us to come into the gathering having already familiarized ourselves with the parts, so that we can spend our time together really diving into the joys of connection and expression in the music rather than simply teaching parts one by one. That being said, we’re just doing this for ourselves, so there’s no need to stress over it (and definitely no need to memorize it or get it “perfect”, ever)! It’s also often easier to sing in person, when the rest of our part-buddies are singing the part with us. The community is here to support! Our primary intention here is simply to have fun and make some great music.

(If this style of learning isn’t your cup of tea, we have other group singing events where you don’t need to prepare at all! Check out our CircleSinging gatherings and House Shows.)

LED and FACILITATED BY:

Kenter Davies (he/him) is a vocal arranger, music educator, and choral facilitator based in Brooklyn, New York. He dedicates his work to creating spaces where people can engage with music without the pressure of perfection, but full of complexity and joy. He highlights the journey over the destination and firmly believes in making music for music-making’s sake. Kenter facilitates One Day Choirs and Folk Song Sings with Gaia, an organization that truly helped him find his voice. His greatest love is helping others find their voices and having fun doing it!

PHYSICAL ACCESSIBILITY:

This space is ADA accessible!

🌱 🌿 🌳

LOW-PRESSURE PARTICIPATION

Gaia Music Collective events are participatory, but low-pressure. You’ll be invited to sing along and make music with us, but we encourage you to draw your own boundaries and engage at your own pace – we pride ourselves in creating a judgment-free community where you can express yourself however feels right!

LATE ARRIVALS

We ask that you arrive no later than 30 minutes after start time, after which we close the doors (lovingly) in order to preserve the intimacy and trust of the musical container we’re building. Thank you for understanding!

CANCELLATION POLICY

Tickets are refundable up to 24 hours before the event, after which we are no longer able to offer refunds. This policy helps us keep these events financially sustainable for both our community and our team. If you RSVP but are no longer able to come, please let us know so that we may offer your spot to someone else! We want as many people to be able to experience these gatherings as possible, and since capacity is limited, each spot is precious.

For more info, contact us at gaiamusiccollective@gmail.com.

MEDIA CONSENT

Because we want to share what we’re up to with people who can’t join us in person, there may be photographers and videographers present — by attending, you consent to being a part of that media, some of which may be posted online! If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at gaiamusiccollective@gmail.com.

NO ONE TURNED AWAY FOR LACK OF FUNDS

Gaia is funded by sliding scale ticket donations, with a “no one turned away for lack of funds” policy. It is of the utmost importance to us that these events remain affordable and accessible – we never want money to be a barrier to making music together. If a ticket scale is financially prohibitive to you, feel free to donate outside of the scale at whatever amount is sustainable for you, or to email us at gaiamusiccollective@gmail.com for volunteer opportunities or assistance!

A BOUT THE LET THEM THEORY:

What if the key to happiness, success, and love was as simple as two words?

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated with where you are, the problem isn’t you. The problem is the power you give to other people. Two simple words—Let Them—will set you free. Free from the opinions, drama, and judgments of others. Free from the exhausting cycle of trying to manage everything and everyone around you. The Let Them Theory puts the power to create a life you love back in your hands—and this book will show you exactly how to do it.

In her latest groundbreaking book, The Let Them Theory, Mel Robbins—New York Times Bestselling Author and one of the world’s most respected experts on motivation, confidence, and mindset—teaches you how to stop wasting energy on what you can’t control and start focusing on what truly matters: YOU. Your happiness. Your goals. Your life.

Using the same no-nonsense, science-backed approach that’s made The Mel Robbins Podcast a global sensation, Robbins explains why The Let Them Theory is already loved by millions and how you can apply it in eight key areas of your life to make the biggest impact. Within a few pages, you’ll realize how much energy and time you’ve been wasting trying to control the wrong things—at work, in relationships, and in pursuing your goals—and how this is keeping you from the happiness and success you deserve.

Written as an easy-to-understand guide, Robbins shares relatable stories from her own life, highlights key takeaways, relevant research and introduces you to world-renowned experts in psychology, neuroscience, relationships, happiness, and ancient wisdom who champion The Let Them Theory every step of the way.

Learn how to:

Stop wasting energy on things you can’t control
Stop comparing yourself to other people
Break free from fear and self-doubt
Release the grip of people’s expectations
Build the best friendships of your life
