Jessica Hische, David Brandon Geeting, Zoë Pulley, Vanilla Chi: Tickets now available for September’s Nicer Tuesdays in New York!

A lettering artist, photographer, graphic designer and illustrator walk into a theatre. What do you get? A brilliant event!

Already worried about the end of summer? Us too. But we’ve got something to soothe your post-summer blues: another fantastic Nicer Tuesdays event in New York!

This time round we’ll be welcoming the lettering artist extraordinaire Jessica Hische to the stage for a Q&A, to chat about her work for some of the biggest cultural moments in film, books and more. Before that, we’ll enjoy talks from illustrator Vanilla Chi, known for her beautifully ethereal and otherworldly work; photographer David Brandon Geeting, master of the modern portrait and still-life; and designer Zoë Pulley, whose stunning and thoughtful work spans multiple disciplines and media, with an extra special eye for editorial design. Our event partner MPB will also be giving you the chance to win a camera at September’s event! Enter the raffle on site for a chance to walk away with a Sony ZV-E10.

Jessica Hische

When it comes to letters, few do it better – or have more expansive reach – than Jessica Hische. Widely seen as the 21st century’s answer to reviving traditional hand-lettering styles, modifying them for a modern audience and keeping the art alive, Jessica’s career has seen her work on some of the biggest gigs in the land of letters, across all corners of the cultural industry, and even open her own shop. Whether it’s the lettering for Wes Anderson’s beloved flick Moonrise Kingdom or book covers for the world’s biggest publishing houses, we can bet that you’ve seen Jessica’s creations out in the wild (numerous times). At September’s event, Jessica will be sitting down with It’s Nice That’s US editor-at-large Elizabeth Goodspeed to talk about her career to date, and all things letters.

Vanilla Chi

We first spoke to Vanilla Chi way back in 2021, when she was in her final year at the School of Visual Arts, when we learnt that her illustrations and comics were a way for her to explore tricky emotions, present and past. Since then, her style has evolved and solidified into the dreamy, ethereal and otherworldly feeling that she’s now so known for, bright with colours edged with a hazy quality, adorned with delicate patterns and willowy characters. Such a unique vision has earned Vanilla work with The New York Times, YouTube, T Magazine China and many more, while still maintaining a strong personal practice alongside commissions. At September’s event, she’ll give a precious insight into her work and career so far.

David Brandon Geeting

David Brandon Geeting has his fingers in many pies, photographically speaking. When he’s not photographing your favourite singer against a backdrop of horses in his studio, he’s probably taking some high-fashion portraits of cats, collaborating with his wife on a strangely beautiful still life book (the multidisciplinary artist Lina Sun Park) or maybe even capturing a fruit salad themed pregnancy shoot, like you’ve never seen before. But despite all these different avenues, you know he’ll be doing it with his trademark effervescence, adding a squeaky clean and ethereal edge to everyday objects and scenes. He’ll be giving the Nicer Tuesdays audience an insight into his career thus far, and all of the colourful projects he’s thrown himself into along the way.

Zoë Pulley

It feels rare to come across a creative who spreads themselves across numerous disciplines, and manages to excel in all, but the multidisciplinary designer Zoë Pulley is one such person. Working across mixed media, audio, typography and print design, one of Zoë’s stand out projects is the Black Joy Archive, a beautiful publication that “preserves generational narratives of Black experiences”. But at Nicer Tuesdays, Zoë will be telling us about two recent opportunities: her recent artistry residency at the Studio Museum, where she explored the creative potential in the process of deep listening, as well as giving us a firsthand look into an exciting upcoming exhibition.

Timings for the evening: doors open at 6.30pm and the talks will begin around 7pm.

A massive thanks to our event partner MPB. We’re also excited to partner with EBBS, which will be providing each attendee with a complimentary drink (with proof of legal age), and Love Corn, which will be providing some snacks.

Photography and filming may be taken at this event for marketing and promotional purposes. If you do not want to be photographed or filmed, please speak to our team on the day.

If you are in need of disability access, please contact hello@nicertuesdays.com so they can help arrange assistance.

Sign up to the Nicer Tuesdays newsletter and you’ll get first dibs on tickets, plus we’ll send you all the videos from the previous month’s event. Now and again we’ll also share some news from our sponsors and event partners too.

——————————————————————–

From Pulitzer Prize–winning author Elizabeth Strout comes a hopeful, healing novel about new friendships, old loves, and the very human desire to leave a mark on the world.

It’s autumn in Maine, and the town lawyer Bob Burgess has become enmeshed in an unfolding murder investigation, defending a lonely, isolated man accused of killing his mother. He has also fallen into a deep and abiding friendship with the acclaimed writer Lucy Barton, who lives down the road in a house by the sea with her ex-husband, William. Together, Lucy and Bob go on walks and talk about their lives, their fears and regrets, and what might have been. Lucy, meanwhile, is finally introduced to the iconic Olive Kitteridge, now living in a retirement community on the edge of town. They spend afternoons together in Olive’s apartment, telling each other stories. Stories about people they have known—“unrecorded lives,” Olive calls them—reanimating them, and, in the process, imbuing their lives with meaning.

Brimming with empathy and pathos, Tell Me Everything is Elizabeth Strout operating at the height of her powers, illuminating the ways in which we our relationships keep us afloat. As Lucy says, “Love comes in so many different forms, but it is always love.”

About this event
We founded the Welcome Conference in 2014 to create a space where dining room professionals could share ideas, inspire one another, and connect to form a community. By our third year, seats were filled with people from every major industry, who believed that what they could learn from leaders in our industry could supercharge how they ran theirs.

In the ten years since, the Welcome Conference has evolved into America’s preeminent hospitality symposium. We’ve welcomed over 100 speakers, from Fortune 500 CEOs to FBI hostage negotiators, from musicians to magicians — and, of course, some of the most celebrated restauranteurs in the world.

Our attendees believe, as we do, that hospitality is a craft that can be honed, a muscle that can be strengthened — that how they serve their clients is as valuable as what they serve. They believe in caring as much for the people they work with and serve as they do about the products they make. They believe every one of us can choose to be in the hospitality industry, no matter what we do — and that you don’t have to be a luxury business to do it.

Once a year, we gather in New York for an immersive, engaging, and provocative day-long program. We exchange stories and challenges and ideas, and we leave with our gas tanks full.

We look forward to welcoming you!

2024 Welcome Speakers:

David Brooks – Author and New York Times Columnist
Angus Collins – Endurance Athlete & Founder of Beyond Endurance
Julio Garcia – Restaurateur, Ambriza Social Mexican Kitchen

St. Mark’s Church

131 E. 10th St

Curated by Ethan Philbrick

Building on decades of engagement between experimental literature and performance, The Poetry Project presents ALIEN AND ORDINARY: A POETS THEATER SYMPOSIUM. Our title recalls Bertolt Brecht’s understanding of how making everyday life productively strange, a technique Brecht referred to as alienation, opens up possibilities for ordinary people to transform the world around us in profound ways. Over five events and three days, this symposium engages the past and future of Poets Theater, exploring how community-oriented, anti-professional performance makes new sense of changing everything.

The symposium will feature performances and plays by Nile Harris, Bassem Saad, Sanja Grozdanić, Amelia Bande, and Charlene Incarnate, plus a poets theater variety show hosted by Morgan Bassichis featuring Jess Barbagallo, Nazareth Hassan, Stephen Ira, Kite, The Illustrious Pearl, Fargo Nissim Tbakhi, and Tony Torn.

Tickets to each performance are $15 in advance, or $20 at the door. Attendees can also purchase a pass to all five events for $40.

Alien and Ordinary: A Poets Theater Symposium is generously supported and made possible by funding from the Axe-Houghton Foundation.

WEDNESDAY 9/18:

Poets Theater Variety Show

hosted by Morgan Bassichis

featuring Jess Barbagallo, Nazareth Hassan, Stephen Ira, Kite, The Illustrious Pearl, Fargo Nissim Tbakhi, and Tony Torn

8 pm

The Sanctuary

ALIEN AND ORDINARY opens with a Poets Theater Variety Show hosted by the performance artist Morgan Bassichis and featuring performances and readings from Jess Barbagallo, Nazareth Hassan, Stephen Ira, Kite, The Illustrious Pearl, Fargo Nissim Tbakhi, and Tony Torn. While variety shows have been a central genre of theatrical performance since the vaudeville era, our Poets Theater Variety Show aims to bring forth the broader etymological resonance of variety: an absence of monotony, a change of fortunes, going astray, altering, transforming, bending, all things various and varying.

THURSDAY 9/19:

Permanent Trespass (Beirut of the Balkans and the American Century)

Bassem Saad and Sanja Grozdanić

performed by Omar Berrada and Kim Rosenfield

7 pm

The Parish Hall

Permanent Trespass (Beirut of the Balkans and the American Century) is a script-based performance jointly authored by Sanja Grozdanić and Bassem Saad that contends with the possibility and mutability of mourning through protracted catastrophe. While the performance begins with two discrete roles—that of traveling eulogists—the frame of who or what is being mourned appears to shift and unsettle as the work unfolds. The nameless duo recalls both the recent and distant past as if from a discontinuous identity. Their memories and musings are recurrently interrupted by the spectral presence of a third voice invoking what is called “the American Century” (1948-present). Did the Century end in Afghanistan, Syria, or Bosnia? Is it unending? Shifting tenors from the comic to the nostalgic, the melancholic to the absurd, a digressive back-and-forth between these “post-conflict” landscapes and psyches builds toward an uncertain eulogy.

Across numerous iterations since 2021, Permanent Trespass has developed a distinct formal language through a process of continuous re-writing. To quote the opening lines of the performance—everything must go. For this reading at The Poetry Project, Grozdanić and Saad present the first performance of Permanent Trespass with new readers—Kim Rosenfield and Omar Berrada.

let me hold your hand when I say this [the words are just words]

Nile Harris

performed by Pamela Sneed, mayfield brooks, Jennifer Kidwell, Arewà Basit, Muna Mire, and Crackhead Barney

sound by Akeema-Zane

9 pm

The Sanctuary

let me hold your hand when I say this [the words are just words] is a new play by Nile Harris meditating on the ordinary poetics of desire and faith. The play is a text to be read simultaneously by six Black women. The readers become a discordant and out of sync choir as Harris performs a chance operation to determine whose voice is amplified at a given time.

FRIDAY 9/20:

REHEARSAL ABYSS / ENSAYO ABISMAL

Amelia Bande

performed with Mana Bugallo, Tess Dworman, and Ned Riseley

7 pm

The Parish Hall

REHEARSAL ABYSS / ENSAYO ABISMAL, is an incomplete play. Amelia has broken bones, pneumonia, depression – or so she says. Three strict and clumsy nurses move her around while they audition to be in her band, Disregard. The rehearsals are enmeshed with a choreography of care, made difficult by everyone’s personalities, and perceived bodily limitations. Spanish and English fail to translate into legibility. Pain, songs, gossip, resentment and flirtation are the ingredients of the group’s pretentious artistic desires and unreliable healing practices.

*

Y’all Are Fucked Up

Charlene Incarnate

9 pm

The Sanctuary

Come over to Charlene’s for a joint and who knows what else as she takes you on a faded tour of her serotonin-but-not-dopamine-regulated brain; the one-sided conversations, the showtunes, the transsexual mischief, the ecstasies and sufferings of a woman on the edge fixed in spin cycle. Y’all Are Fucked Up is an honest but inebriated glimpse into the destructive habits and LSD belly laughs that our hostess, her family, and her community suffer daily from a non-recovery standpoint. Incarnate, a decade-spanning seminal Brooklyn Drag queen and burgeoning downtown impresario, concocts in perfect verse the stories that follow her virtuosic debut Cuntpany in May 2024, and mounts it at The Poetry Project for one night only.

About this event
This landmark symposium brings together thought partners from across the United States to discuss systems of fine art education and their futures. Hosted by the Art Students League with its nearly 150-year-history as an alternative art school, this day-long program comprising two panels and a keynote speaker addresses both traditional and non-traditional approaches. Speakers will discuss institutions of art education as well as residencies and other professional development opportunities, where artists arguably, learn as much as (or more than) in a “school.”

Since 1875, the Art Students League has thrived as a member-run art school designed to enable artists to develop a mastery of traditional techniques without sacrificing the freedom they need to explore diverse artistic practices and methodologies. As we approach our 150th anniversary, we are honored to present an in-depth look at the many ways art education has continued to evolve to meet the needs of artists.

This event will be livestreamed via YouTube. Select “Online Admission” ticket option to receive a link to watch.

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, & connection games
Work through the piece section by section
Break down the lyrics & emotions at play in the song
Shape some key musical moments
& 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

For this One-Day Choir, we are exploring the dark and moody hit by Radiohead, “Creep”. A song with haunting melodies, striking lyrics, it speaks to battling insecurity and hopelessness. For this event, we will be singing an epic choral re-arrangement of this song by our facilitator, Kenter Davies.

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 & FACILITATED BY:

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 & 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!

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, & 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 & others at the door.

About this event
When it comes to climate change, there’s an important question we don’t ask often enough: What if we get it right? Let’s flip the apocalyptic script. To joyously explore this topic, Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson will host in conversation Jade Begay, Indigenous rights and climate policy strategist, and Colette Pichon Battle, attorney and climate justice organizer. Ayana will ask her guests, and you, to envision the world we could build if we charge ahead with the plethora of solutions we have at our fingertips. How the heck can we start these societal transformations and reel climate possibilities into being?

Jade and Colette are among those whose insights are featured in Ayana’s new book, What If We Get It Right?: Visions of Climate Futures, which has 20 interviews at its heart, directly inspired by the Pioneer Works Science & Society series. This conversation concludes a tryptic of events Ayana has curated at Pioneer Works over the last year starting with the Climate Futurism exhibition, which was followed by its companion Science & Society event featuring MoMA curator Paola Antonelli and solar/salvage punk artist Olalekan Jeyifous.

Magician Nicole Cardoza will open our night, sparking our thoughts on possibility and transformation.

Books will be available for sale, hosted by Greenlight Bookstore, and a book signing will follow the conversation.

Jade Begay of Tesuque Pueblo and the Dine Nation, works at the intersections of climate and environmental-justice policy and Indigenous rights. Jade has worked with Indigenous-led organizations and Tribes from the Amazon to the Arctic to advance Indigenous-led solutions and self-determination through advocacy campaigns, research, storytelling, and narrative strategies. She is currently developing a research project on the impacts of climate change on Native people in the United States.

Colette Pichon Battle is a human rights attorney, a non-profit executive, and a generational native of Bayou Liberty, Louisiana. She serves as the Vision and Initiatives partner for the non-profit Taproot Earth, which she co-founded. Colette spearheads efforts around equitable climate-disaster recovery, migration, community economic development, and energy democracy.

Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson is a marine biologist, policy expert, and writer. She is co-founder of the non-profit think tank Urban Ocean Lab, co-editor of the bestselling climate anthology All We Can Save, and author of What If We Get it Right?: Visions of Climate Futures.

ABOUT WE SOLVE MURDERS:

A brand new series. An iconic new detective duo. And a puzzling new murder to solve…

Steve Wheeler is enjoying retired life. He does the odd bit of investigation work, but he prefers his familiar habits and routines: the pub quiz, his favorite bench, his cat waiting for him when he comes home. His days of adventure are over: adrenaline is daughter-in-law Amy’s business now.

Amy Wheeler thinks adrenaline is good for the soul. As a private security officer, she doesn’t stay still long enough for habits or routines. She’s currently on a remote island keeping world-famous author Rosie D’Antonio alive. Which was meant to be an easy job…

Then a dead body, a bag of money, and a killer with their sights on Amy have her sending an SOS to the only person she trusts. A breakneck race around the world begins, but can Amy and Steve stay one step ahead of a lethal enemy?

ABOUT Richard Osman:

Richard Osman is an author, producer, and television presenter. The Thursday Murder Club, The Man Who Died Twice, The Bullet That Missed, and The Last Devil to Die were number one, million-copy international bestsellers as well as New York Times bestsellers.
