UNFIX NYC 2021
-Creating An Awareness Of Ecology Through Arts-
a part of UNFIX festival

This is the 5th Season of UNFIX NYC!!! We are collaborating with UNFIX festival, the founder of the festival which is hosting virtually UNFIX NYC, UNFIX Bologna and UNFIX Tokyo!
About: UNFIX festival is a festival of life performance, Dance, film, Installation, Workshop and debate that wants to unravel the knots in how we're living. 
​UNFIX NYC aims to raise ecological awareness through arts. What is 'ecology'? Ecology is the relations between all living beings on this planet, and its study. How we can live without destroying, harming, and hurting each other. The world is not a 'fix'ed place. The world is continuously changing; evolving; we are changing. Ren Gyo Soh has been holding the NYC version of the UNFIX festival in a local space since 2016.  (MORE ABOUT)
This year, we have 20 pieces and 30 artists from 10 different countries are participating the festival as an UNFIX NYC artist!

BALLAD OF CYCLIC CHANGE
​by 
Night Multimedia Art  
​
(Jacob Elkin, Mirabai Kwan Yin, Kathy Creutzburg, Aya Hirota)
Trailer
Picture
Ballad of Cyclic Change is inspired by the biogeochemical cycles and how they mirror cycles in human lives. We build acoustic kinetic sculptures from up-cycled everyday materials and create musical compositions using the sculptures as instruments. When the work is on display, the public is invited to play the sculptures to create their own compositions. By connecting human stories of transition to nature’s cycles we encourage people to feel connected to their planet, which we hope will inspire sustainable practices and help fight environmental racism .

Sunday June 19, 4-5pm (NYC) / 10-11pm (Italy) Performance & conversation

HUMAN HANDS 
​by Jacopo Tealdi
Trailer
Picture
It is the story of the Human as Demiurge and his decision to create the universe, through his magical gestures that write the creation in the air: lines of light with a magical effect and in suspension, which then materialize becoming the image projected on the background. Her body “comes to life by itself” when her hands, animated and alive, create havoc with the powers of creation itself!

VIRTUAL EXHIBITION (June 11-27) 

Floating Gardens
by RooN 
​(Roxane Revon)
Trailer
ON DEMAND
Photo Exhibition (June 11th at NOON)
Click the image below to go RooN at UNFIX festival!
Picture
RooN works mainly on “wanders” by creating atmospheres and environments that get the audience to move slowly away from a fixed point or place. She is interested in slow temporality, moving away from the logic of storytelling where the audience focus is not framed. The visible growth of plants (leaves and roots) integrated to her sculptures and installations balances the rigid frames to form an unfinished, ever developing piece.

Description: 
“Ma” is a Japanese word and concept which exists between time and space. It exists between this past year and now, between people, and between people and space. Ren Gyo Soh company members explore “Ma” through sight specific dances in selected neighborhoods of New York City. We dance with the energy of the land, the energy of people, and the energy of nature, which reflects on our lives in New York City NOW 2021
