"Building Embodied Community in Virtual Arts Events" at The Embodiment Conference
In this session, I'll share tools and framing devices for producers, independent artists and audience members as we seek to transform this moment of limitation into one of creative possibility. We'll discuss how embodiment practices can be implemented to help engage more deeply with our audiences across virtual platforms, while envisioning how we can build a future where the arts are a democratized, accessible and inclusive foundation for real community building.
The conference also includes world-renowned teachers and leaders like Tara Brach, Jack Kornfield, Stephen Porges (the author of The Polyvagal Theory), and Alanis Morisette!
(Who knew she was into embodiment? I didn't, but cool!)

As Brooklynites, when we discovered Asase Yaa Cultural Arts Foundation and what they provide for youth in Brooklyn, we were inspired to create a live virtual concert event, "Brooklyn For Brooklyn," to benefit and support their, "Youth Summer Employment Initiative" crowdfunding campaign.
Asase Yaa "aspires to empower and strengthen our youth by offering youth an opportunity to learn, study and experience the history, movement and beauty of African Diasporic dance, music and culture at its highest level."
Please join us for some original tunes, some covers, a special performance by Yao Ababio, Asase Yaa's Founder and Artistic Director, and remarks from Rubie I. Williams, Director of Operations and Osei Williams, Executive Director of the Foundation.

About Asase Yaa Cultural Arts Foundation:
Asase Yaa Cultural Arts Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization that is dedicated to fulfill our core tenets to Enrich, Educate, Entertain and promote the importance of cultural performing arts to youth and adults in our community. We aspire to empower and strengthen our youth by offering them an opportunity to learn, study and experience the history, movement and beauty of African Diasporic dance, music and culture at its highest level. Our programs are designed to ensure that our youth understand the roots and value of culture in the arts, which we hope will inspire and propel them to become strong leaders capable of preserving and elevating our culture and communities in the future.
About the Youth Summer Employment Initiative:
"June 3, 2020, Brooklyn, NY…The Brooklyn-based Asase Yaa Cultural Arts has announced plans to launch their first ever crowdfunding campaign, the Asase YaaSummer Youth Employment Initiative,” to raise $50,000 to fund summer employment for 20 teenage youth (ages 14-19) from June 29 th – August 7. The Mightycause crowdfunding campaign will be launched June 15 th and run through August 15th . Donating tiers include, $500, $250, $100, $50, $25, or any donation with a minimum of $5.00. All donations are tax-deductible and 100% of the funds raised will be allocated to support the Initiative.
The Asase Yaa School of the Arts constituency is comprised of 100% minorities. The Youth Summer Employment Initiative is designed to fill the void left by the termination of the State Youth Employment Program, which had previously provided summer employment for youth throughout New York city. Rubie Inez Williams, who is the Director of Operations for the Foundation noted, “We have always believed and
understood that if we invest in our children, we will grow a powerful community. We live by the tenants "It takes a village to raise a child. Many people throughout the Tri-State area and throughout the nation are facing unemployment due to the pandemic, and we feel it’s important that our minority youth are not overlooked and forgotten during the summer months, which is the peak time they’re able to get jobs.”
Asase Yaa’s youth employees will be working weekly assisting the Foundation teachers and staff in daily operational activities such as event planning, financial budget forecasts, and
researching other cultural arts organizations. They will also be provided with training in resume development, the operation of non-profits as a business, and understanding organizational
programmatic impact. Participants in the employment initiative will also work with the Foundation’s 14th Annual Children’s Summer Art Camp, which attracts 80-100 youth annually. The day camp is a six-week program that is scheduled from June 29 – August 7, 2020.
Asase Yaa is committed to following all prevailing COVID-19 preventative and protective protocols and ensuring their counselors have a fun, safe, and financially rewarding summer."

Connect and Create: Zoom Edition
I bet you’re feeling it too. The eye-strain and tension headache, the stiffness from sitting for too long, the energetic heaviness that leaves us feeling on edge, spacey or just plain exhausted.
And it’s not only the physical response; replacing activities we’re used to doing face-to-face with a two dimensional 13-inch screen can take a huge toll on our emotional health and creative energy.
In this two-part workshop, Eve Marie Mugar and I will guide participants through an exploration of our relationships to screens and devices, by tapping into our bodies, our creativity, and the unshakeable strength of human connection.
The workshop will draw from yoga, breath-work and art therapy to reveal the limitations and potentials of our lives “inside the box”, and equip participants with tools for becoming more grounded as we move forward collectively in a time of isolation.
Schedule:
Friday 6/5, 7-830pm: Yoga, Breath-work & Writing
Saturday 6/6, DAY OFF: Creative Assignment
Sunday 6/7, 2-330pm: Community Embodiment work & creative sharing/reflection

Embodiment Workshop: Using the Breath to Promote Vitality

Join this donation-based workshop to learn some strategies for tapping into your inherent breath and body intelligence, so that you can regenerate your vitality, prevent fatigue, and promote ingenuity!
Suggested donation: $15 (Venmo @Emily-JG-Brown)
Pay what you can - no one turned away
What we will do:
-Seated breath exercises and movement
-Standing stretches and movement
-Journaling
-Community reflection
