The Bushwick Starr

The
Citizen Arts International Festival&nbsp;announced
today the lineup for its upcoming 2026 season, from September 7-27,
2026. The events will take place across New York City public spaces,
and all events are free to attend. For more information, please visit
<a href="https://www.citizenartsinternational.org/program-overview" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.citizenartsinternational.org/program-overview</a>.



Citizen
Arts International&nbsp;transforms
New York City's public spaces into vibrant stages for free
international performance, participatory art, and cultural exchange.
Bringing art into everyday life across the boroughs, the woman-led
festival fosters joy, civic engagement, and social connection.


Responding to calls from civic
leaders and urban policy advocates to expand equitable access to
culture in public space, the festival centers a model of radical
accessibility and global cultural exchange, bringing free,
high-quality performing arts directly into neighborhood parks and
community spaces.


In collaboration with community
organizations citywide, the festival’s inventive placemaking
transforms ordinary spaces into sites of joy, spectacle, dialogue,
and shared civic experience. Programming spans new circus, dance,
music, theatre, and participatory performance that invite audiences
to engage not just as spectators, but as participants in a shared
cultural landscape.


Rooted in local partnerships,
Citizen Arts International collaborates with organizations including
The Ukrainian Museum, Culture Lab LIC, The Bushwick Starr, New York
City Department of Parks &amp; Recreation, MADE Bush Terminal, Bronx
Children’s Museum, Barnard Movement Lab, and more to connect
performance with community conversation.&nbsp;Through hosted
performances, workshops, and intergenerational learning
opportunities, the festival creates intimate connections between
audiences of all ages to engage with global artists and ideas in
spaces that belong to them.


The festival is led by
co-directors Meg Araneo, Natalie Rine, and Elena Siyanko. The
multigenerational, women-led leadership champions collaboration,
artistic vision, and public engagement as central to the citywide
festival initiative. With decades of experience in nonprofit
leadership, festival programming, international touring, and
scholarly practice, they offer a civic-minded, community-focused, and
globally informed approach to multidisciplinary performance in public
spaces.

“Public
culture is civic infrastructure,” said the Co-Directors in a joint
statement. “Citizen Arts International is doubling down on radical
accessibility — bringing global performance directly into
neighborhoods, free of charge, and using public space to spark
dialogue, imagination, and connection across difference.”

Championing
artists and their creative process at each step from studio to stage,
so that performing artists can create with dignity––Works &amp;
Process announces its dynamic fall 2026 season. Taking place at
Guggenheim New York, Manhattan West, and Free Food Refettorio Harlem,
the season features premieres, rotunda dance parties, creative
residencies, and performances that extend beyond the stage, inviting
audiences to spectate, participate, and continue the conversation at
hosted receptions.

The
season kicks off on September 9 with Gather Round: Let's Dance!, a
free outdoor series presented in partnership with Manhattan West.
Every Wednesday in September at 5 pm, New York City–based dancers
and choreographers will celebrate social dance traditions through
performances, instruction, and open dance parties.

SCUFF
Queer Country Dancing returns for a Works &amp; Process rotunda dance
party at Guggenheim New York presented in partnership with the
museum’s Member Monday program. Guests are invited to explore the
Guggenheim’s rotunda galleries before taking part in a
participatory dance lesson and party.

Across
four nights in October, Works &amp; Process will present pop-up
performances by the MasterZ at Work Dance Family at Free Food
Refettorio Harlem, New York City’s only free restaurant. The
organization opens its doors to serve vulnerable neighbors, steward a
healthier, more just food system, and celebrate the cultural heritage
and diversity around us.&nbsp;A Works &amp; Process commission,&nbsp;The
24/7 Diner&nbsp;by Black trans femme choreographer and ballroom
Icon Courtney “Balenciaga” Washington envisions an all-night
diner open to all. Blending street dance and theatrical storytelling,
the work explores chosen family, resilience, and joy as acts of
resistance, rooted in the spirit of ballroom culture. Like Refettorio
Harlem, the work centers food as a source of both physical and
metaphorical nourishment.

Beyond
New York City, Works &amp; Process continues its commitment to artist
development through more than 25 fully funded creative residencies
annually. Spanning Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey,
New York, Tennessee, and Vermont, the program builds on the acclaimed
bubble residencies launched during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the
residency program began, Works &amp; Process has supported over 1,000
artists through more than 100 residencies; many of which have
received prestigious awards and toured nationally and
internationally, including with the U.S. State Department. This fall,
five Works &amp; Process commissions will continue touring, further
amplifying the voices and visions nurtured through these
residencies.&nbsp;

and performances by Ballet

the program is in person on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at 7 pm in

Malpaso
Dance Company is one of contemporary dance’s great success
stories — a Cuban ensemble known for extraordinary technical
brilliance, musicality, and expressive power. Since its founding in
2012, Malpaso has become a vital force on the global stage,
commissioning and performing works by Ronald K. Brown, Trey McIntyre,
Aszure Barton, and more.

For
the Harkness Mainstage Series Opening Night, the company was to
appear in the world premiere of a new 92NY commission by Bessie Award
winner&nbsp;Pedro Ruiz. Ruiz was to travel to Havana to create
the work in close collaboration with Malpaso’s dancers before
bringing it to New York. Current visa barriers made the live
performance impossible as originally conceived or scheduled.&nbsp;

Rather
than allow those barriers to end the project, 92NY continued to
support the work. Filmmaker Nel Shelby,&nbsp;along with
cinematographer Ashli Bickford and photographer Christopher
Duggan,&nbsp;traveled to Cuba to document Ruiz’s creative process
with Malpaso. The resulting documentary&nbsp;The Essence of Us&nbsp;(in
Spanish:&nbsp;Nuestra Esencia)&nbsp;– in Spanish with
English subtitles – offers an intimate portrait of a company whose
artistry and resilience remain undiminished.

Joining
the opening night in celebration and support of the project is&nbsp;Ballet
Hispánico New York, the nation’s leading American Latino dance
company and the largest cultural institution of its kind in the
United States. Bringing their extraordinary artistry to the evening,
the company performs a program honoring three Cuban and Cuban
American choreographers whose work has made a profound mark on
American dance. The performance features excerpts from Eduardo
Vilaro’s&nbsp;Buscando a Juan (Looking for Juan); Marianela
Boán’s&nbsp;Reactor Antígona (Antigone Reactor); and
concludes with Pedro Ruiz’s&nbsp;Guajira.

Ballet
Hispánico New York is recognized by the Ford Foundation as one of
America’s Cultural Treasures, and the organization stands as a
major force in contemporary dance in New York City, elevating the
voices of Latino artists across the nation and the world. Under the
leadership of Artistic Director &amp; CEO Eduardo Vilaro, Ballet
Hispánico serves as a catalyst for imagination, redefining how
contemporary dance is seen, heard, and understood through its
repertory, training, and community programs.

icchā&nbsp;is
a 60-minute solo dance work by Princess Grace Award-winning artist
barkha patel that explores the body as a vessel for ancestral memory
and inherited longing. Often, the things we desire are not entirely
our own. Matrilineal histories are frequently unnamed or absorbed
into patriarchal narratives;&nbsp;icchā&nbsp;asks: who do we
carry within us?

Drawing
on the Hindu concept of&nbsp;vasanas—unfulfilled longings
that survive physical death and are passed through bloodlines as
living&nbsp;icchā, or desires—the work centers on barkha,
who is visited in a dream by her maternal ancestors. They choose her
to give form to the desires they were unable to express or fulfill:
desires shaped by survival, loss, intimacy, violence, and the denial
of dance and embodied selfhood.

Weaving
original music and set design with traditional and contemporary
kathak and the Gujarati folk form garba,&nbsp;icchā&nbsp;imagines
movement as a means of remembrance, release, and return.

icchā&nbsp;is
choreographed and performed by barkha patel, with original music
composed by Sushma Soma and Samiullah Khan.

“This
story defies the typical ‘diagnosis-to-death’ dementia narrative,
focusing instead on creativity and hope.” —
Jake Broder, Creator


A
powerful synthesis of theatre, music, science and visual
art,&nbsp;UnRavelled&nbsp;explores the complexities of
the human mind through the parallel lives of scientist-turned-painter
Anne Adams and composer Maurice Ravel, both affected by
frontotemporal dementia. With a cast of 10 actors and musicians, this
East Coast premiere follows Adams, a gifted biologist whose life
unravels as she abandons her career, consumed by the desire to paint
and an obsession with Ravel's iconic&nbsp;Boléro. As Adams'
cognitive decline accelerates, her art flourishes, revealing a
surprising link between neurological disease and creativity. "An
exquisite example of epic theatre" (Colorado
Boulevard),&nbsp;UnRavelled&nbsp;sheds a new, empathetic
light on dementia.


UnRavelled&nbsp;is
made possible in part with support provided by the Penn Live Arts
Accelerator Program.&nbsp;UnRavelled&nbsp;is presented in
partnership with Penn Medicine as part of the International
Conference for Frontotemporal Dementias.


UnRavelled&nbsp;has
received five Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award nominations, the
LADCC Award for Streaming Design, and the Beverly Hills Theater Guild
Playwriting Award.

Richard Gadd, creator, writer, executive producer, and star of HBO’s&nbsp;Half-Man, joins entertainment journalist Jessica Shaw for a conversation about the making of one of television’s most provocative new dramas.
Gadd, nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Performing Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, takes us inside his performance as Ruben Pallister and the long road to bringing&nbsp;Half-Man&nbsp;to the screen. He began writing the series in 2019, then set it aside when&nbsp;Baby Reindeer&nbsp;was commissioned. Four years later, he returned to it, spending two intense years shaping the story.
At its center is the volatile relationship between two men who think of themselves as brothers, traced across three decades. Dark, funny, shocking, and deeply uncomfortable,&nbsp;Half-Man&nbsp;explores masculinity, repression, intimacy, and the damage people do to each other when they cannot say what they mean or confront who they are.
Hear Gadd discuss what he drew on both as writer and actor, how the series evolved over six years, and why his most unsettling stories can also be his most revealing about the world we live in.
