Grab a picnic blanket and join us in our backyard for Site: Yizkor/King Manor,  a site-specific performance installation!

Site: Yizkor/King Manor is a site-specific performance installation created by visual artist Maya Ciarrocchi with music direction by Andrew Conklin. Comprised of music and dance in an immersive projected environment, Site: Yizkor examines individual and collective experiences of displacement and loss through the lens of Yizkor, a framework while inherently Jewish, is not limited to the Jewish experience. The project&#x27;s source material includes architectural renderings of demolished buildings, maps of vanished places, and prose remembrances gathered during participatory writing workshops.

She began her early life in dance and had a decade-long career as a dancer/choreographer. The digital art movement of the late 1990s and her training with Merce Cunningham influenced her early choreographic works and subsequent career as an award-winning projection designer for dance and theater. These experiences continue to inform her current multi-disciplinary studio practice. Ciarrocchi has exhibited her work nationally and internationally and has been awarded residencies and fellowships from the Baryshnikov Arts Center, Bronx Museum of the Arts, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, MacDowell, Millay Arts, UCross, and Wave Hill. She has received grants and awards from the Bronx Council on the Arts, Franklin Furnace, Foundation for Contemporary Arts, Jerome Foundation, MAP Fund, Mertz Gilmore, the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation, and the Trust for Mutual Understanding. Recent projects include the Poland tour of her multi-media performance installation Site: Yizkor, and a solo exhibition at Wave Hill in the Bronx, NY. Ciarrocchi earned an MFA in Computer Art from the School of Visual Arts, New York, NY, and a BFA in Dance from SUNY Purchase, Purchase, NY. https://mayaciarrocchi.comAndrew Conklin (b. 1984) makes music that engages with American vernacular idioms and contemporary classical practices. His work has received recognition from the Bronx Museum of Art, the Trust for Mutual Understanding, Pitchfork.com, the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Lake George Music Festival, and the Florida State University Biennial New Music Festival. A Grammy-nominated performer, Andrew has toured throughout the United States and Europe as a guitarist and bassist with indie rock bands, bluegrass groups, and improvising ensembles. Andrew’s music can be heard on New Focus Recordings and Bot Cave Records, and he currently serves as Program Director and Assistant Professor of Composition and Music Theory at University of the Pacific. https://www.andrewconklin.net
