Explore the captivating workshop, "Writing the Ephemeral with Jordan Kisner," where participants will delve into the timeless art of laboring across centuries. This unique experience will lead each participant to craft their own piece of writing, inspired by the fascinating Shakers, a utopian separatist religious group from the 1700s. Aptly named for their distinct worship practices, including stomping, clapping, shouting, turning, falling down, and shaking, the Shakers believed that their fervent group movement, known as laboring, embodied heaven on earth. Although the exact visual representation of this divine expression remains elusive, historical accounts from that era provide glimpses into the Shaker philosophy. Join this workshop and embark on a journey through time, as students utilize video footage of a group dance recreated from descriptions of early Shaker worship. Through this immersive experience, participants will explore the intricacies of conveying movement through the written word, capturing both literal actions and the profound emotions behind them. Delve into the translation process, as feelings and dances that once existed only in written records now come alive through movement and writing once again. Uncover the significance of documenting such ephemeral experiences and learn the art of effectively capturing their essence. Led by esteemed essayist Jordan Kisner, whose work delves into ephemerality and creative practice, this workshop promises to be an enriching and thought-provoking experience. Taking place on November 5, 2023, at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn, this one-time in-person workshop is open to all. Secure your place now for a price of $35.83, and delve into the world of the Shakers alongside a community of passionate individuals.

The representative of New York, the United States, there are two lines to go, we are on the ferry, and there are speedboats to sit, but this is the most cost-effective. I went at two o&#39;clock in the afternoon. There were not many people. It was just right to come back. If I went in the morning, there were more tour groups and the queue was very long.

The first day of the New Year is a tourist, but compared to the domestic people, the queue time is reasonable. . . The roof is too windy, the 80th floor is indoor, the photo has reflection, you can go up to the 86th floor to take pictures outside, overlooking the whole of New York.
