Cody Plays is an experiment in creating a play in a matter of a few days with a rotating group of special guests and collaborators created by writer/performer Cody Sullivan. Where is the show taking place this week? What is happening in the world that day? Who can we beg to take a role? The answers to these questions are the frantic, immediate, ephemeral ingredients that Cody uses to facilitate the group creation of each Cody Plays. Cody started the show in Provincetown at The Gifford House, in June 2023. He continues to play in Provincetown and Boston.

“The results are outrageous and boisterous and harken back to Provincetown’s devil-may-care days.” – Chris Muller, The Boston Globe.

Cody Sullivan is a writer and performer based in Provincetown, MA. He began his studies in performance art in Boston at Massachusetts College of Art and Design and his practice of improvisation at Improv Boston. In 2014 Cody moved to Chicago to study at the iO Theater, where he became a house performer from 2015-2019. Cody currently performs solo theater and improvisation, as well as writing/directing his show Cody Plays, in which he selects a different collaborator to co-write, direct, and perform in a play over the span of a few days.

Join Synchronous Creative for an evening of site-specific movement and exploration surrounding the idea of “safe spaces” at the Hawthorne Barn. The evening will be an inside look at their creative process, where they will lead audience members through a few prompts and exercises utilized  through their process at 20 Summers. The members will have an “open rehearsal”, where they show their creative process in practice, as well as a final presentation as a culmination of their residency. A brief talk back/discussion may follow.

Synchronous is a creative lab and performance group driven by transparency, inclusivity, and individual voice. The members of the company combine their diverse skill sets to form a knowledge base which they utilize to fully realize their collective ideas. They create a network of support providing skills including but not limited to - administrative needs, grant research and application assistance, press release writing and development, and artistic mentorship throughout the creative process. At its core, Synchronous is a space in which the collaborators create the contemporary dance works that they want to see in New York City.

Stephanie Shin founded Synchronous in 2023. While freelancing in New York, Shin encountered multiple instances in which her jobs lacked transparency and communication from those in positions of power. Shin decided to collaborate with four other artists in order to create an environment that filled the gaps in the industry. In her words, Shin founded Synchronous because, “I craved a certain type of work that didn’t exist yet in NYC. I wanted to make the work that was missing, but also wanted to make a company reflective of the NYC dance community. These dancers are diverse, collaborative, and interdisciplinary individuals that mirror the larger freelance community.”

Join Season Eleven Fellow JU-EH for a workshop and performance exploring the question “Where does voice come from, and how does it represent you? “.

A Site Specific Milk Tea Opera House Session

‘Milk Tea Opera House’ is an initiative to create opportunities to influence more voices, to awaken them, and to guide them. It is vital to be able to experience more voices and together we ask this question: Where does voice come from, and how does it represent you?

JU-EH would like to create a live Milk Tea Opera House Session, along with Twenty Summers, to co-create new kinds of interactive spaces from where the voice is born, redefining the term ‘opera house’ for the next 100 years.

The main practice of an MTOH Session will focus on the human voice, and exercise how we use the voice internally in different dimensions. Not the finished flawless performances of an opera singer, but the internal handling of the voice in a much wider spectrum.

With this knowledge that JU-EH has lived, studied, and embodied for decades, it is time to collaborate to reveal the depth of our sonic environments, and the image of voice in various daily activities to a wider creative community.

JU-EH is a visionary interdisciplinary creator with a unique perspective shaped by their diverse cultural background. As a male soprano, JU-EH specializes in developing nonhuman roles and using opera as a meta-emotional vehicle, bringing a fresh and innovative approach to this timeless art form. As a conceptual curator, JU-EH has initiated projects that defy genre, period, or easy categorization. JU-EH has collaborated with numerous nonprofit organizations to raise awareness of safe and caring environments for people of color artists and employees.

Buried Luminaries is a meditative performance by Nicole Salcedo accompanied by the sounds of Agua Dulce. Conjuring the orbits of celestial bodies through a movement exploration of cycles and spirals. This performance invites attendees to contemplate the cycles of life and death, grief and joy, the swelling and receding of tides, within and around us.

Agua Dulce (they/them) is a queer, neurodivergent, and transdisciplinary artist, community organizer, and energy worker born and based in Miami, FL. Their work is shaped by their time participating in local non-profit orgs (Fempower, Miami Workers Center, WeCount!, etc), mentorship by Guadalupe Maravilla (sound healing) and Sterling Rook (metalwork), and the indescribable need to reveal truths hidden by colonization and oppression as a means to process, grieve, and heal. They are a 2023 Ellie’s Creator Award recipient for metalwork, and were the 2022-2023 Narrative Teaching Artist for the ICA Miami.

Nicole Salcedo (she/they) is a multi-disciplinary queer latinx artist born and based in Miami, Florida. She works in sculpture, fibers, performance and film, with a foundational practice in drawing. Nicole’s drawings and performances open up pathways that offer a deeper understanding of nature-consciousness and the connections between our bodies and the environment. Employing repetitive mark-making and movement to create meditative and emotionally charged imagery. Salcedo’s influences include botany, fractals, the physics of electromagnetic energy, and her animistic spiritual practice. By delving into her personal experiences and cultural heritage, she creates art that speaks to universal themes of identity, transformation, and interconnectedness. Salcedo’s work draws us closer to the mystery of existence and invites us to embrace the beauty and complexity of the world around us.
