A very enthusiastic audience of 125 attended Salone III at the legendary Judson Memorial Church in Greenwich Village in New York on March 12, 2024. Phu Hoang (2017 Fellow), president of the Society of Fellows, introduced the ninety-minute event, thanking the performers and organizers.
Presented by the Society of Fellows, the third Salone showcased music by 2017 Fellow Igor Santos and 1984 Fellow Jay Anthony Gach; dance and poetry by 2008 Fellow Molissa Fenley and 1991 Resident Traveler Bob Holman; and theater by 2014 Fellow Dan Hurlin (on video) and 2020 Fellow John Jesurun.
Salone III also featured collaborations. The first was a music/theater/event written, composed, and designed by three 2009 Fellows: Marie Lorenz, Kurt Rohde, and Dana Spiotta. Excerpts from this work, Newtown Odyssey, was shown on video. The second collaborative project was a renga poem written by a group of fifteen Fellows and read by the artist Patricia Cronin and the writer Dave King, both 2007 Fellows.
A great evening was had by all. From conversations and declarations of excitement and pleasure, everyone is looking forward to the next Salone!
