NYC. Crossing the Line Festival @FIAFNY
Content
The artists curated here shows the festival of performances that builds on this notion of a global community. Our mission to discover worlds inside of worlds, a diverse place-making structure, and supporting creative projects by following performance artists. The documentation brings the argument to realize, what these artists mean to bring to the world stage. The sketches reflect a fast moving immediacy to be elaborated on in text and image. This gives us the archive to be able to critique and add our view points and inspiration. Somethings lead us away from the original source, by creating content that is also relevant, but more integral to our own sequels in conclusion.
Audiences
Inspiration to interpret an assemblage of moving parts with an audience. Our input increasingly accounts for the creation of theater. Surprisingly, new technology has brought more distractions for the critical viewpoint, inhibiting the deep work that contemporary artists seek for in their review. The purpose of multimodal media on stage is to appropriate a clear metaphor for the physical world. In the concept of outcome and output, in a fractured world, our theory of change for viewers is for an audience to ask,
How do you get your news?
WHYSEEART
How do we embody an identity? The subject of many signifiers, from sound, lighting, and scenery pin points in our collective consciousness. When grief, shame, or happiness take on a wide array of messages in the world of visual and performance art in which artists decide where to stand.
The mission of the site WHYSEEART is a way to understand the grief that is felt in our lives, and what forms happiness, this takes on different cultural milieus.
Partnership
For the past several years, since traveling abroad, and returning to continue the motivation for documenting art and culture. We imagine being in their shoes, and imitate the motion of dancers involves many sketches in creating access into reviewing an immediate impression. The mimesis that occurs through archiving ephemeral art is a grand gesture across many pages of sketchbooks through the years. Since its beginning, we have created many portfolios into examining the gestures and conversations, dancers’ evoke philosophy and a transformation stage.
The intent of Contemporary Art brings forth prominent issues that resonate with the theme of public art. An exploration into public space and socio-political changes in our environment appears symbolically and translates differently for others. It suggests an auto-rhetorical reading; autonomy of feeling in a physical disposition to explain, what is there is meaningful by the regard of the individual(s). Public art is on a much larger scale, and opening up to contemporary art brings audiences from different places to a collective thought, which carries meaning for audiences on a similar level of thought. The audiences’ intent is a new space for critical inquiry.
Theater that is made to be digested, beautifully, or for cathartic transformation can be awe-inspiringly a visceral experience. In relation to art history this transcendental art form can refer to ritual, or ceremonial arts. The ceremonial, a physical celebration or séance, involves higher spirits and ancestral power. A theater space addresses making-place in regards to public art in the distribution of diverse rituals. Art on the scale of public art, and ceremonial art gives a basic definition of the theater.
Performance art, in a social space where the civic logos is determined by hierarchies, oligarchies, democratic parties, or an activist demonstration, and the grounds for theater is in a flux of recognizable forms from literature, real world, or national identities.
WHYSEEART is essentially a brand that archives the vernacular voice of contemporary artists for general audiences. A pretext for the content is directed toward all audiences, and the curiosity for being in a live audience offers value for the public through inspiration to visit these theaters or witness modern dance.
What kinds of Theaters are there?
Off-Broadway productions are based on minute trends, and many different directions. The sociology and anthropology creates intersections. Many of these intersections lead to larger avenues and interventions of common language relay worlds within worlds, and universal play.
Up-and-coming dance companies are out there, and the converging of disciplines of art performance blurs this distinction of dance and theater. The influence of prevailing dance companies or choreographers are known as the precursor to post-modern art.
Contemporary Opera, classical orchestra, chamber music, Tap Dance and other classical theater techniques represent imaginaries in a succession of accepted or pre-existing formulas. Affiliates of an art form inadvertently acts as a part of our identity.

Because you know, many of us are targeted by Broadway productions since the beginning of American Musical Theater. Producers and song writers captured a national craze with popular music, Hollywood, all during the start of the Tin Pan Alley in NYC.
WHYSEEART raises the question of contemporary art to comment, and draw on the content being created, streamed, televised, or normally being advertised.
Contemporary Opera.
Sun & Sea (Marina) Opera on the sandy beach of North Philly during the Fringe Festival 2022. Mannerisms in opera can be shifty to exaggerate, in hyper real forms, language and ambiguity in its behavior excite our interests. It was composed by Lina Lapelytė, realized by Rugilė Barzdźiukaitė, and libretto by Viva Grainytė.
Taking a trip to North Philly was a part of the whole nuance of the production. Arriving at the warehouse there, for a not so picturesque image of a beach. It was a stage brightly lit for a sandy vacation to reimagine environmental art.
Imagine stepping onto a movie set by film makers, Rugilė Barzdźiukaitė, Lina Lapellytė, and Viva Grainytė. The scene was completely hysterical, and it transpired a lyrical farce. My experience with classical opera has been curated only by a selection of inspiring contemporary Opera. It is compelling to see the adaptability of an operetta, and it is a longstanding interest of mine to follow into contemporary opera as another art form.
Take for instance, Royce Vavrek and Missy Mazzoli, two collaborators that took the best new Opera in 2017. Recently, in 2023 they were seen working together on THE LISTENERS which streamed on Fedora Opera Channel, and their debut of “Breaking the Waves” in Philadelphia introduced volumes, the visual narrative changed the mood with each mode of visual story telling from language, musicality, sets, chorus, and especially with this explicit material. In 2024, we are excited to see Opera Philadelphia begin the 24/25 season with THE LISTENERS.
I was fresh off the plane from the Edinburgh International and Fringe Festival. Working at the Kimmel Center for Performing Arts, Opera Philadelphia a resident artist was to feature a new Opera. After two weeks of drawing from performance artists, theater artists, and connecting with companies with my illustrations on Twitter/ X, I was convinced “Breaking The Waves” sounded like a chance to continue this sort of work.
The production as an operetta adapted from a film without knowing the original, I studied elements of adaptation in the arts at the University of Pennsylvania, granted the knowledge of adaptative studies permitted this genre, Contemporary Opera is an exciting new exploration. And after the event, I had the chance to meet the creators, Missy Mazzoli and Royce Vavrek. I look forward to following the span of their collaboration and drawing more from their performances.
