S T A R R busby's Working Up A Surrender: Collective Healing Experiments

Working Up A Surrender: Collective Healing Experiments is an offering in support of community building and collective liberation that explores the question 'How can we center connection and care in a rapidly changing world? by actively providing the Clinton Hill/Bed Stuy community (and beyond) a space to relax, listen deeply, and recharge. Part 1 will transform JACK into a soothing space somewhere near the intersection of a spa and a science lab. Guests will be given a private space to listen to a guided meditation with somatic gestures followed by one of 5 tracks from S T A R R 's upcoming EP - “Working Up A Surrender”. After listening, guests will be invited to report synesthetic responses, and parts of their body they associate with the song, as well as provided free writing space for any emotional responses or thoughts. All of this feedback will be compiled and synthesized into a mean corresponding frequency for each song. Thursday, August 8th from 2:00pm-6:00pm Friday, August 9th from 2:00pm-6:00pm Saturday, August 10th from 11:00am - 3:00pm Sunday, August 11th from 11:00am- 3:00pm Register in advance, but also feel free to drop in! Part 2 will transform the space into an opalescent dream space where each song will be performed infused with the determined frequency. In other words - Your responses help create the music. Thursday, August 15th at 7:30pm Friday, August 16th at 7:30pm Saturday, August 17th at 3:00pm Saturday, August 17th at 7:30pm Audiences are invited to participate in both parts to feel the full impact of the experiment!
