IN-PROCESS: LOVE LETTERS—CAGE TO CUNNINGHAM

Guild Hall William P. Rayner Artists-in-Residence, Site-Specific Dances (artistic directors: Michael Spencer Phillips and Dino Kiratzidis) share an in-process presentation of their new dance-theater work, Love Letters: Cage to Cunningham.

Love Letters: Cage to Cunningham is a dance/media-performance work by Site-Specific Dances, based on selected letters from Love, Icebox. These letters reveal the interwoven nature of John and Merce’s artistic and personal lives. They contain moments of flirtation, humor, insecurity, joy, longing, arousal, and jealousy, emotions specific to the letters but also universal to human experiences of love and longing.

The piece unfolds as a series of vignettes that follow the emotional arc of the letters, combining media and live music with a new ensemble dance suite by Michael Spencer Phillips. The set design is an assemblage of various media elements drawn from the text of the letters and curated by Dino Kiratzidis in collaboration with videographer Emma Kazaryan and graphic designer Riley Hooker. Adam Tendler joins the team as a John Cage specialist, performer and adviser, alongside collaborating composers Phong Tran and Matthew Ricketts.

The in-process presentation will be followed by a conversation between the creative team.

GHTAC X LVIS: REPURPOSED FASHION SHOW

Presented by the Guild Hall Teen Arts Council & the East Hampton Ladies’ Village Improvement Society

Sustainability meets style in this bold celebration of creativity and conscious design. GHTAC X LVIS: Teen Fashion Show showcases original ensembles crafted entirely from repurposed and upcycled materials, transforming second-hand clothing and fashion waste into visionary, wearable art.

A true community collaboration, this fashion show is the result of months of creative work between the Guild Hall Teen Arts Council and the dedicated volunteers of the Ladies’ Village Improvement Society (LVIS). Together, they sourced clothing from the LVIS thrift shop, carefully selecting garments with the potential for reinvention. Guided by a shared theme, the teens took on the role of designers—de-seaming, reconstructing, and reimagining fabrics to create entirely new looks that challenge the boundaries of fashion.

A reception will follow to celebrate the culmination of the 2024-2025 Guild Hall Teen Arts Council!
