SUMMARY:ESSENTIAL: Public Health\, Public Space\, & the Design of Boston's Big Parks
DESCRIPTION:Join leaders in landscape architecture & public health in a discussion about the past\, present\, and future of open space in Boston.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for this event here. \n\n\nNow\, more than ever\, parks are essential infrastructure. Supporting physical and mental health\, enhancing human and ecological resilience\, offering places to protest and spaces to heal\, parks have played vital roles during this past pandemic year – and will in the years to come. Rather fortuitously\, Boston is currently renovating its three largest open spaces: Boston Common\, Franklin Park\, and Moakley Park.

SUMMARY:Beyond Walls: Performance in Public Space
DESCRIPTION:Rising draws inspiration from the restoration of the Muddy River to highlight our collective need to recover and regrow as a society after the Covid-19 pandemic. Rising explores the potential of renewal from the simplicity of nature through live music\, dance and poetry as performed by a multidisciplinary ensemble. Each aspect of the performance is designed to sonically\, visually\, and verbally guide the audience through the cyclical nature of growth and restoration. \nSam Feldman – Contemporary Theater 23’ | Tess Stevens – Dance 23’ | AnnaLotte Smith\, Piano Performance MM 22’ | Rachel Kempenaar – Dance | Jacob Windeler – Dance 24’ | Featuring 42 Boston Conservatory at Berklee students \nFriday\, May 28 at 12:00 PM and 12:30 PM | Two 15- minute performances | Back Bay Fens\, next to the Kelleher Rose Garden  \nRising Poems\nPOEM #1 \nBy: Alex Leondis\, Yitong Zhu\, Mel Tanaka\, Dylan Gombos\, James Paquette\, Monique Lonergan\, San Feldman \nWhat is this muck on the pulse of the community? \nWhy does this water choose to rage infinitely? \nOverflowing and drowning. I am bursting to breathe. \nThese days are all the same \nfalling from grace \nit’s all too slow a pace for me \n  \nScratching at the earth with a sneaking persistence \nRollover and rollover and rollover – I have dirt in my nails from a distance \nA quiet tornado rages and weaves \nYou should breathe what you believe\, \nReset what it means to grieve \n  \nIt giveth and it taketh away\, \nWhat are you doing here? \nWhy did you stay? \nSensing instead of seeing \nPerceiving is believing \nAnd we are all healing \nStop the flood but not the flow \nI watched life burn\, dampen\, then grow \n  \nPOEM #2 \nBy: Alex Leondis\, Yitong Zhu\, Mel Tanaka\, Dylan Gombos\, James Paquette\, Monique Lonergan\, San Feldman \nBasking in the sun\, I sit \nAs the park revolves around me \nPedestrians and Passerbys \nWalkers and Wanderers \nAll moving past the same patch of grass and asphalt \nI have seen much change from this spot. \nThe wind blows cooler now. \nAt first it chilled me to the brittle bone. \nNow\, it is almost refreshing. \nA familiar ice can  that aches in a specific way. \nBut now the sun is awake \nStarting to poke out from behind ty \nThe todwering trees and buildings that peer \nIpark. \nAnd I am starting to get warm. \nWarm in my hands. \nWarm in my feet. \nMy toes\, my nose \nAnd my heart. \nA new wind is blowing \nBlowing past me and through me. \nA warm wind\, for the first time in a long time. \nAnd it is welcomed back like an age old friend. \nA new breath. Fresh air. \nSpring is here. \nMake me a gathering place \na safe place \na resting place \nLet the children play \nlet the runners run- let there be a moment to rest and a moment to love. \nLet there be first dates and old friends and new friends and light. \nLet the sun shine\, the breeze blow\, let the geese take flight. \n  \nPOEM # 3 \nBy:  Sam Feldman \nWhat is rebirth? \nWhat does it mean to grow? \nThrough autumn leaves and fallen snow \nThe spring is here and flowers come \nAnd birds add to the quiet hum \n  \nTo change \nTo turn a page \nTo re-arrange \nTo re-estrange \nAnd be regained \nTo stop the flood \nTo a come undone \n  \nUnfinished\, as you are \nAnd be unjudged \n  \nTo delight in the small and good things \nThat come and go on birds wings \nTo honor the land on which we stand and plan for the future \nTo unapologetically and empathetically be. \n  \nRising marks the culmination of Boston Conservatory’s new\, credit-bearing summer course called Beyond Walls: Performance in Public Space\, led by acclaimed artist and entrepreneur Maria Finkelmeier of MF Dynamics\, who garnered praise earlier this year for her inventive multimedia public space project\, Hatched: Breaking Through Silence\, at the Hatch Memorial Shell in Boston.
