Imagination Sessions: Volume 4

Contemporaneousis an ensemble of 25 musicians whose mission is to bring to life the most transformative music by living composers through performances, commissions, recordings, and educational programs. Described as"exact and detailed, but also lively and openly dancing"(The New York Times) and"leading new music towards its better self"(I Care If You Listen), Contemporaneous particularly champions the creation of large-scale works and “dream projects,” which composers might not otherwise have opportunities to realize due to scale.

Contemporaneous

Welcome to the fourth Contemporaneous Imagination Session!

We're very sorry — this Contemporaneous Virtual Community Salon is all full! We'll host another one in two weeks, please look out for the email invitation to sign up.

Imagination Sessions is a new online community initiative from Contemporaneous. Presented over Zoom in a participatory community format and moderated by Contemporaneous, every Imagination Session brings on incredible guests from disparate walks of life that foreground, in one way or another, the imagination of the future — from composers to theater directors to politicians. Taking place on the first Friday of every month, each Imagination Session is unique and features a different topic and group of presenters. Every session offers you the chance to be a part of the conversation, ask questions, or just listen and be part of the community. Through this series of discussions, presentations, and performances, the Imagination Sessions build a vast and diverse fabric of perspectives towards a grand exploration of imagination and creative life in the world of today and tomorrow.Picking up our grand conversation with the fourth Imagination Session of 2021, Session Four will be hosted and curated by Lisa Willis, Contemporaneous&#x27;s Development and Communications Manager, presenting a discussion on what artists imagine as an ideal future for artmaking and the policies that would be helpful to sustain diverse forms of creativity. These questions of imagination are approached by each of us differently, and both artists and politicians go to work seeking to answer them in some way.SESSION FOUR will feature amazing special guests from different paths of imaginative work, from <a href="https://tisch.nyu.edu/about/directory/app/1245367097" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Hentyle Yapp</a>, Faculty at NYU&#x27;s Art and Public Policy department to <a href="http://hansrasch.com/bio" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Hans Rasch</a>, dancer and graphic artist from Miami, to composer, pianist and multidisciplinary artist <a href="http://sugarvendil.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sugar Vendil</a> and <a href="https://mayaontheinter.net/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Maya Man</a>, an artist and creative technologist based in NYC — all in conversation with you.
