Sundays on Broadway and co-curators Jade Manns & Weis present an evening of performance and video by Vicky Shick, Jacob Burckhardt, Reason Wade & Aminah Ibrahim, and video by CW.

Vicky Shick will present a simple look at the geometry of two bodies locating themselves inside a shared, gently intimate architecture in time and space. Shick will perform with Marilyn Maywald Yahel.

Jacob Burckhardt will show a program of short films: wordless sound-visual poetic documentaries and Dada comedies.

EDGE is an ongoing collaboration between Reason Wade and Aminah Ibrahim, a movement performance that plays with suspension and levity to explore the line between solid ground and open air—and the emotions that arise when one is on the precipice.

Weis will show an excerpt of archival footage she shot in 1983 from a performance by Ishmael Houston-Jones and Fred Holland.

Artists' Bios:

Jacob Burckhardt is an audio engineer whose work in sound ranges from recording audio around the world to mixing soundtracks for independent films at a midtown studio. He now teaches in the Film/Video department at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. After making two feature movies in the 1980s, he went back to making shorts, in 16 millimeter film and video, where it is possible to preserve a direct relationship between the film and the filmmaker.

She is extremely fortunate to have collaborated with many incredible dancers, choreographers, artists, and designers. She has shown her own work in venues in the U.S. and abroad. Shick was a Movement Research Artist in Residence and Bessie recipient (each twice), a grantee from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, and a Guggenheim Fellow.

Aminah Ibrahim is a Black American, Kuwaiti, Indonesian artist and producer of performance. Their work finds ways to expand the body, connecting somatic movement, sound, and visual documentation. Through meditative modes of improvisation, and an intimate relationship with ritual garb and adornment, Aminah explores the geographies of identity, body politics, and mysticism. Aminah received an MA in Sound Art from London College of Communication.

They also spend time curating art happenings, producing and mixing music, styling, and knitting.
