Kinetic Cinema

Film screening and discussion with guest curator
Adam Weinert

Spectacle
124 S. 3rd Street
Brooklyn, NY 11211
(Near Bedford Ave.)

In a city where artists are priced out to the margins, and coinciding with the beginnings of occupy wall street, I inexplicably gained access to a townhouse on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I invited 9 artists to to respond, inhabit and document the building, and this is what we made.

For his evening of Kinetic Cinema, Adam will be sharing and discussing never before seen footage from the project Inside Lives, described above, as well as other guiding forces behind his work for stage, for studio and for camera.

Must human progress always end in destruction?  What are the risks we will take to restore our home? Contemporary politics and childhood fantasies come crashing together in this unique event inspired the history of Appalachian coal mining.  Led by choreographer Adam H. Weinert, director Jeremy Pickard and composer Adam Miller, MARS features original dance, live music, graphic art and a strong ensemble of cross-disciplinary performers. Our technology is opening new frontiers… and new mines. We can go to Mars, hold the internet in our palm… and blow the tops off America’s oldest mountains. The controversies and paradoxes of mining have never been more relevant. In MARS, we explore these topics in our own unique way, and invite you to join in the adventure and the conversation.

Off Center

OFF CENTER / Adam Weinert
Through the formation of a pop-up company, participants will investigate the institutional offerings and privatization of space around Lincoln Center, the world’s largest performing arts institution, as led by choreographer Adam Weinert. The company will physicalize its findings throughout this walk in a series of dance performances. No previous dance experience necessary.

This walk holds 8 people and will be held in English, though Adam also speaks French and Spanish.
