My bones are made of metal but my body ain’t open. Still there is a strong draw. \nI rise to the moon like a jangly skeleton. Stiff from alternating bouts of shoveling dirt and Hulu binges. I’m called to dance and since I don’t want to be weighed down I’m reticent to eat too much. So it’s BBQ chips for dinner again… \n…. and at least I can dance briefly with the moon. —John Pizza \nJohn Pizza is a performer\, builder\, and drawer. He uses trash and thrift-store detritus scrounged in his Brooklyn neighborhood to tell stories and make his shows. He loves the macabre and the mushy sweet. His sculptures are performative\, and his performances involve sculptures—an object theatre of weird surprises. \nAbout Tom Murrin and the Full Moon Show \n“Performance is anything done with purpose and style.” —Tom Murrin \nHowl! Happening is home to the archive of Tom Murrin\, aka the Alien Comic and the Godfather of Performance Art. Every full moon—without fail\, paid booking or not\, in all seasons and whatever the weather—he performed his Luna Macaroona Full Moon Show. When he had a club date that fell on the full moon\, he’d wrangle his friends to perform as guests—pushing the careers of such groundbreaking performers as David Cale\, David Sedaris\, Amy Sedaris\, Blue Man Group\, Ethyl Eichelberger\, Lisa Kron\, and many others. When he didn’t have a club date\, he performed on the street for passersby\, transforming the pedestrian atmosphere with his madness and magic.

Every Tuesday in July\, Woods will share work from her short-fiction collections Things to Do When You’re Goth in the Country & Other Stories and Love Does Not Make Me Gentle or Kind\, as well as her recent and critically acclaimed memoir 100 Times (A Memoir of Sexism).

Guests include Erin Markey\, Katherine Arnoldi\, Jeanne Thornton\, Sanina Clark\, Libby Edwards\, and Jillian McManemin. Episodes stream Tuesdays in July on Howlarts.org. \nOf her critically acclaimed memoir\, 100 Times\, she writes\, “What compelled me to embark upon this project seemed to be the exact opposite motivation behind the writing of most memoirs. I decided to put these stories to the page not because my life has been exceptional. I felt it was incumbent upon me to tell the stories exactly because\, when it comes to sexism\, my life is not exceptional at all.” \n“Incident by incident\, this book makes its case in stark\, personal terms.” —The New York Times \n&Friends Episodes Include: \nJuly 6: Woods reads excerpts from her short stories “What’s Happening on the News?” and “Things to Do When You’re Goth in the Country.” \nJuly 13: Woods will read from and discuss her most recent book\, 100 Times (A Memoir of Sexism).

Like the wings and legs of bugs\, I feel wiggly and restless. \nYou’re asking me to party with others. My exoskeleton crawls\, and I’m restlessly shifting from foot to foot but always with a smile across my mandibles. —John Pizza \nJoin John Pizza for Infested\, a little post-quarantine poem about self-courage and the insects inside our guts that wiggle in protest. \nJohn Pizza is a performer\, builder\, and drawer. He uses trash and thrift-store detritus scrounged in his Brooklyn neighborhood to tell stories and make his shows. He loves the macabre and the mushy sweet.

The concepts of otherness and ambiguity\, particularly with respect to gender identity and sexuality\, permeate its narratives. Drag\, androgyny and fluidity are staple elements. —The New York Times\, “Queer Butoh: Finding Belonging in the Dance of Darkness”\, 2020 \nHowl Arts is pleased to collaborate with the visionary Vangeline Theater/New York Butoh Institute to present the fifth annual edition of Queer Butoh 2021\, streaming free at www.howlarts.org. \nAt its origin\, the introduction of butoh in Japan was widely controversial. The first homoerotic butoh performance\, Kinjiki (Forbidden Colors)\, created by Tatsumi Hijikata in 1959\, caused controversy amongst its spectators. This year\, Queer Butoh returns during Pride month as a video series featuring LGBTQ butoh dancers from Singapore\, South Africa\, and Italy. The featured artists present their work and reflect on the intersection of butoh and queerness. \nAfter each live event\, the video presentations will be available at www.vimeo.com/vangeline until June 30\, 2021. \nTuesday\, June 8\, 2021\nXUE Flowers (Singapore) \nPhoto by Richie Duque\nPerformed in 2019 in Brooklyn\, New York\, with a live accompaniment on electric guitar by John Barrington\, Flowers is an improvised score integrated with ASMR-style field recordings of hand-manipulated chrysanthemums. With introduction by the artist. In collaboration with Mika Orotea and John Barrington. VHS documentation: Mika Orotea. (60 minutes). \nXUE is a surrogate for artist Sher Chew—an eponymous conductor of clandestine realities activated through live performance informed by the art of butoh. XUE uses aesthetic production as an intervention\, cultivating an impressionistic style of world-building as a form of critical resistance. XUE’s worlds are post-lingual spaces that often involve silent or disarticulate bodies routinely subject to invisible restrictions. By designing rigorous systems that provoke exhaustion\, XUE is committed to un-scripting the socialized body\, allowing radical physical vocabularies to emerge through the body as it cedes to a state of surrender. \nTuesday\, June 15\, 2021 \nDamiano Fina Helios (Italy) \n \nArtist and writer Damiano Fina founded the FÜYA method\, a pedagogical approach to dance\, alchemy\, and their spiritual origin in the Pleistocene. Since 2004\, Fina’s artistic research has been influenced by alchemical studies\, rituals of classical Greece\, teachings of Zen-master Dōgen\, butoh\, radical queer theory\, and continuous readings and meditation. The aim has been to explore mysticism and philosophy through the body and its multiple possibilities of connection. Fina has performed in London\, Paris\, Berlin\, Thessaloniki\, venues in Japan\, and various Italian festivals. The artist holds a master’s degree in Pedagogy of Expression and is the author of The Dance of Eros and Thanatos: Butoh and Queer Pedagogy. In 2020\, Fina published Dance and Alchemy\, a book that introduces the FÜYA method. During the presentation\, Fina will also talk about queer butoh pedagogy. (60 minutes) \nTuesday\, June 22\, 2021\nTebby W. T. Ramasike In Search of a Soul: A Blind Man’s Cry…The Appeal (South Africa) \nPhoto by Didier Berthelot and Fabrice Pairault\nSouth African choreographer\, dancer\, performer\, dance teacher\, researcher\, butoh practitioner\, and cultural activist Tebby Ramasike has resided in Europe since 1995. He traveled extensively during a period of research and collaboration and worked with internationally acclaimed choreographers and teachers. He was nominated and won a number of prestigious choreography and dance awards. In 1999\, he founded TeBogO Dance Ensemble (renamed TeBogO Dance–TBO)\, which since its inauguration has been invited to perform and teach internationally. Ramasike holds a master’s degree in choreography from the Dance Unlimited Programme ArtEZ in Arnhem\, Netherlands\, and was the first recipient of the international choreography bursary from the Michel Tesson Performing Arts Trust and subsequently received a bursary from the Creative Arts Foundation. In 2002 he joined World Dance Alliance—Europe and is currently a member of UNESCO’s International Dance Council CID. Ramasike is working on an interactive multidisciplinary crossover collaborative project and focusing on ongoing research of his Afro-Butoh concept. His latest collaborative butoh project has been selected to be part of the European Capital of Cultures Programme for Esch2022 and Kaunas2022. Performed at TATWERK Berlin in February 2015. With an introduction by the artist. (60 minutes). \nABOUT VANGELINE \nVangeline (curator) is a teacher\, dancer\, and choreographer specializing in the Japanese postwar avant-garde movement form butoh. She is artistic director of the Vangeline Theater (New York)\, a dance company firmly rooted in the tradition of Japanese butoh\, carrying it into the 21st century. Vangeline is founder of the New York Butoh Institute and a 2018 NYFA/ NYSCA Artist Fellow in Choreography. She won the 2015 Gibney Dance’s Beth Silverman-Yam Social Action Award and is the author of the critically acclaimed Butoh: Cradling Empty Space (2020). www.vangeline.com \nVangeline Theater/New York Butoh Institute aims to preserve the legacy and integrity of Japanese butoh while carrying the art form into the future. The unique art of butoh originated in post-World War II Japan as a reaction to the loss of identity caused by the westernization of Japanese culture and the realization that ancient Japanese performing traditions no longer spoke to a contemporary audience. The Vangeline Theater is home to the New York Butoh Institute\, dedicated to the advancement of butoh in the 21st century. \nThis program was supported in part by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and the New York State Council on the Arts\, with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

The concepts of otherness and ambiguity\, particularly with respect to gender identity and sexuality\, permeate its narratives. Drag\, androgyny and fluidity are staple elements. —The New York Times\, “Queer Butoh: Finding Belonging in the Dance of Darkness”\, 2020 \nHowl Arts is pleased to collaborate with the visionary Vangeline Theater/New York Butoh Institute to present the fifth annual edition of Queer Butoh 2021\, streaming free at www.howlarts.org. \nAt its origin\, the introduction of butoh in Japan was widely controversial. The first homoerotic butoh performance\, Kinjiki (Forbidden Colors)\, created by Tatsumi Hijikata in 1959\, caused controversy amongst its spectators. This year\, Queer Butoh returns during Pride month as a video series featuring LGBTQ butoh dancers from Singapore\, South Africa\, and Italy. The featured artists present their work and reflect on the intersection of butoh and queerness. \nAfter each live event\, the video presentations will be available at www.vimeo.com/vangeline until June 30\, 2021. \nTuesday\, June 8\, 2021\nXUE Flowers (Singapore) \nPhoto by Richie Duque\nPerformed in 2019 in Brooklyn\, New York\, with a live accompaniment on electric guitar by John Barrington\, Flowers is an improvised score integrated with ASMR-style field recordings of hand-manipulated chrysanthemums.

(60 minutes). \nXUE is a surrogate for artist Sher Chew—an eponymous conductor of clandestine realities activated through live performance informed by the art of butoh. XUE uses aesthetic production as an intervention\, cultivating an impressionistic style of world-building as a form of critical resistance. XUE’s worlds are post-lingual spaces that often involve silent or disarticulate bodies routinely subject to invisible restrictions. By designing rigorous systems that provoke exhaustion\, XUE is committed to un-scripting the socialized body\, allowing radical physical vocabularies to emerge through the body as it cedes to a state of surrender. \nTuesday\, June 15\, 2021 \nDamiano Fina Helios (Italy) \nPhoto by Riccardo Panozzo\nArtist and writer Damiano Fina founded the FÜYA method\, a pedagogical approach to dance\, alchemy\, and their spiritual origin in the Pleistocene.

To be prostrate is relaxing and also vulnerable. To be spread eagle is a position of defiance and also softness. Step with John Pizza into a regimented circle for What Goes Around Comes Around\, and in a measured way\, let go by holding on. \nJohn Pizza is a performer\, builder\, and drawer. He uses trash and thrift-store detritus scrounged in his Brooklyn neighborhood to tell stories and make his shows. He loves the macabre and the mushy sweet. His sculptures are performative\, and his performances involve sculptures—an object theatre of weird surprises.  \nAbout Tom Murrin and the Full Moon Show \nPerformance is anything done with purpose and style. —Tom Murrin \nHowl! Happening is home to the archive of Tom Murrin\, aka Alien Comic\, Godfather of Performance Art. Every full moon without fail\, paid booking or not\, in all seasons and whatever the weather\, he performed his Luna Macaroona Full Moon Show. When he had a club date that fell on the full moon\, he’d wrangle his friends to perform as guests—pushing the careers of groundbreaking performers like David Cale\, David Sedaris\, Amy Sedaris\, Blue Man Group\, Ethyl Eichelberger\, Lisa Kron\, and many others. When he didn’t have a club date\, he performed on the street for passersby\, transforming the pedestrian atmosphere with his madness and magic.

The linguistic play in Diaz’ work has always been about engaging the viewer to read and identify with the ideas in his writing. Dealing with “present-day life on this massively screwed-up planet of ours\,” the artist’s thought-provoking messages are intended to inspire action. The politically loaded social commentary and humor give his text-based work visual life. The virtual exhibition will be on view starting April 23rd.   \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nPrev\n1 of 1\nNext\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n In The Studio with Al Diaz\n \n \n \n \n \n\nPrev\n1 of 1\nNext\n\n \n \n \nDiaz will also be painting a new mural on the theme of Spring at 246 Bowery. The public is invited to visit and watch his process on Tuesday\, April 20th.  \n \nDiaz\, a first-generation graffiti writer who is well-known for his collaboration with Jean-Michel Basquiat on SAMO©\, works in new formats for this exhibition. Banners\, canvases\, grids of ink-transfer-illustrated tile\, and shaped works suspended from the ceiling surround and immerse the audience in a large-scale\, visually stimulating narrative installation.  \nA three-dimensional journal\, this collection of works includes some of the artist’s most ambitious pieces to date. Most of the pieces are created using what Diaz calls a “constrained alphabet” comprised exclusively of reclaimed New York City Transit WET PAINT signage characters\, and subway-system icons. The work is presented in a variety of mixed media\, applications\, and scales while maintaining a visual theme. A large banner extending across one entire gallery wall reads: “After a prolonged period of isolation and confinement we became fearful and suspicious.” \n“I’ve been experimenting with what I refer to as my WET PAINT/Subway Letters series for 11 years now\,” says Diaz\, “and continue to enjoy sharing the surprisingly vast possibilities that can be produced with a restrained\, limited number of characters.” \nFor an in-depth article about Al’s life and artistic trajectory\, check out Al Diaz: 4 the Creatively Defiant. \nAbout Al Diaz \nAl Díaz’s creative career spans five decades. Of Puerto Rican descent\, he was raised in New York City and by age 15 was an influential first-generation subway graffiti artist known as “BOMB-ONE.” His friendship and artistic collaboration with high school classmate Jean-Michel Basquiat on the SAMO© graffiti writings—an avant-garde social critique—has been noted often in contemporary art history. Diaz’ contributions to the cultural renaissance of the East Village from that period also include musical percussion and performance art\, and have made him a key member of a celebrated artistic community that continues to influence and attract interest today. \nDiaz has been a featured panel speaker at The New School\, The Museum of the City of New York and The African American History Museum (Smithsonian). He appears in the documentaries Radiant Child\, Rage to Riches\, and Boom for Real\, films focusing on the life of Jean Michel Basquiat and the NYC music and art culture of the 1980s.  \nAl Diaz lives and works in Brooklyn\, New York. \nThis program is supported\, in part\, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

I suppose I wanted attention.  \nThese days I’m blessed. I’m a grown-ass man and really have some good things going for me. But being an attention-seeker had its perks. It was a really creative place to live in and much more spontaneous. Maybe I wanna get back to that. \n—John Pizza \nJoin John Pizza for Little Yellow Demon\, a video piece with puppets where he reconvenes with his high-school demon self to rehash some of his old antics. Shake off some rust and climb the walls with him. \nJohn Pizza is a performer\, builder\, and drawer. He uses trash and thrift-store detritus scrounged in his Brooklyn neighborhood to tell stories and make his shows. He loves the macabre and the mushy sweet. His sculptures are performative\, and his performances involve sculptures—an object theatre of weird surprises.  \nAbout Tom Murrin and the Full Moon Show \nPerformance is anything done with purpose and style. —Tom Murrin \nHowl! Happening is home to the archive of Tom Murrin\, aka the Alien Comic and the Godfather of Performance Art. Every full moon—without fail\, paid booking or not\, in all seasons and whatever the weather—he performed his Luna Macaroona Full Moon Show. When he had a club date that fell on the full moon\, he’d wrangle his friends to perform as guests—pushing the careers of such groundbreaking performers as David Cale\, David Sedaris\, Amy Sedaris\, Blue Man Group\, Ethyl Eichelberger\, Lisa Kron\, and many others. When he didn’t have a club date\, he performed on the street for passersby\, transforming the pedestrian atmosphere with his madness and magic.

The series is presented virtually via Zoom\, and you are invited to get your art supplies together and follow along. \nCollage Portraits: Antony Zito is a three-part online workshop series inviting participants to make a collage portrait. Meeting consecutively for three weeks on Wednesday evenings from 7–8:15 p.m.\, each session conducted by Zito builds on skills explored in the previous one\, culminating in the completion of a final collage. Registration is required. \nOscar Wilde by Antony Zito\nCheck out the workshop series outline below from Antony Zito: \n \nZito: \nWe will work primarily at creating a painted portrait rendered from a photo and then add collage around the face\, both in the background or in the body\, hair\, or other parts of the figure. \nThe concept that unfolds while bringing collage elements into a painted portrait is one of creating layered narratives and hidden vignettes. This type of portrait opens doors to more implications about the story of the portrayed\, beyond facial expression and use of paint. \nCollage elements can be selected for any number of reasons\, including texture\, emotional or political content\, or even to confound the viewer with surreal clues. But in the end\, the goal is a cohesive image of a figure in an environment\, however loosely that is interpreted. \nSession 1—Wednesday\, February 17th\n7—8:15 PM \nIn the first session\, we will create the portrait together by working step-by-step from a source photo\, using acrylic paint on a canvas\, panel\, or found object. \nSession 2—Wednesday\, February 24th\n7—8:15 PM \nIn the second session\, the collage elements will be cut from magazines and adhered onto the surface with either glue stick or clear gloss acrylic medium. \nSession 3—Wednesday\, March 3rd\n7—8:15 PM \nIn the final session\, we will work on details and compositional definition required to indicate a level of differentiation between figure and background and foreground objects and textures. This phase can include adding in painted elements to create a more cohesive and balanced final image. \nRequired materials (to be used at home): \n\nMidsize canvas\, wood panel\, or found object (roughly 18″ x 24″)\nScissors or x-acto knife\nA stack of colorful magazines with strong images (National Geographic is best)\nA set of acrylic paints; the color choice is yours; we will work in simple tones\nBrushes\, rag\, water cup\nSource photo of the person who will be your subject\nClear acrylic medium (your choice: gloss\, matte\, etc.)\nA brush for pasting the clear medium onto the collage cutouts\nA separate water cup and rag for the clear medium\n\nParticipants are invited to share their final works on social media and tag @howlhappening or #howlhappening. \nAntony Zito is a portrait painter and collector of objects\, who moved to the Lower East Side from New England in 1992. Zito has spent more than 20 years on New York’s Lower East Side\, where he ran a gallery and portrait studio on Ludlow Street through 2006. His portraits of the local characters illustrate a sweeping line through the 90s and 2000s in the East Village rock and art scenes.

The series is presented virtually via Zoom\, and you are invited to get your art supplies together and follow along. \nCollage Portraits: Antony Zito is a three-part online workshop series inviting participants to make a collage portrait. Meeting consecutively for three weeks on Wednesday evenings from 7–8:15 p.m.\, each session conducted by Zito builds on skills explored in the previous one\, culminating in the completion of a final collage. Registration is required. \nClick Here To Register \nOscar Wilde by Antony Zito\nCheck out the workshop series outline below from Antony Zito: \n \nZito: \nWe will work primarily at creating a painted portrait rendered from a photo and then add collage around the face\, both in the background or in the body\, hair\, or other parts of the figure. \nThe concept that unfolds while bringing collage elements into a painted portrait is one of creating layered narratives and hidden vignettes. This type of portrait opens doors to more implications about the story of the portrayed\, beyond facial expression and use of paint. \nCollage elements can be selected for any number of reasons\, including texture\, emotional or political content\, or even to confound the viewer with surreal clues. But in the end\, the goal is a cohesive image of a figure in an environment\, however loosely that is interpreted. \nSession 1—Wednesday\, February 17th\n7—8:15 PM \nIn the first session\, we will create the portrait together by working step-by-step from a source photo\, using acrylic paint on a canvas\, panel\, or found object. \nSession 2—Wednesday\, February 24th\n7—8:15 PM \nIn the second session\, the collage elements will be cut from magazines and adhered onto the surface with either glue stick or clear gloss acrylic medium. \nSession 3—Wednesday\, March 3rd\n7—8:15 PM \nIn the final session\, we will work on details and compositional definition required to indicate a level of differentiation between figure and background and foreground objects and textures. This phase can include adding in painted elements to create a more cohesive and balanced final image. \nRequired materials (to be used at home): \n\nMidsize canvas\, wood panel\, or found object (roughly 18″ x 24″)\nScissors or x-acto knife\nA stack of colorful magazines with strong images (National Geographic is best)\nA set of acrylic paints; the color choice is yours; we will work in simple tones\nBrushes\, rag\, water cup\nSource photo of the person who will be your subject\nClear acrylic medium (your choice: gloss\, matte\, etc.)\nA brush for pasting the clear medium onto the collage cutouts\nA separate water cup and rag for the clear medium\n\nParticipants are invited to share their final works on social media and tag @howlhappening or #howlhappening. \nAntony Zito is a portrait painter and collector of objects\, who moved to the Lower East Side from New England in 1992. Zito has spent more than 20 years on New York’s Lower East Side\, where he ran a gallery and portrait studio on Ludlow Street through 2006. His portraits of the local characters illustrate a sweeping line through the 90s and 2000s in the East Village rock and art scenes. The New York Post has called his paintings “sensual\,” and his renderings of people on recycled materials prompted The Village Voice to refer to him as “a master of the found object.” \nHis work has been exhibited and collected in the U.S.\, UK\, Italy\, France\, Spain\, Belgium\, Mexico\, and Japan. Several of Zito’s portraits and other artworks appear in the Jim Jarmusch films Coffee and Cigarettes and Broken Flowers.
