3rd Friday

Description

Every 3rd Friday we collaborate with community members on participatory art and history events for all ages.

Run, cycle, dance, jump, skate or skip on down for a night of moving art. Make your move and experiment with an array of moving art forms. Watch a gymnastic performance and cartwheel into a few moves of your own. Try a few martial arts and taekwondo moves with Laird's Academy of Martial Arts and Choi's Takewondo. Learn how to draw action sports and movement with The Scribbles Institute.

Watch glass blowing with Nathan Bennett and Richard Mero from Alexander Art Glass. Participate in the art of Capoeira with Culture Yard Capoeira. Play skeeball with a handmade skeeball game made by Louise Leong. Practive Tai Chi with The Tai Chi Natural Health Club.

Take a ride through downtown Santa Cruz on the Happening Couch, a moving couch attached to a tandem bike. Professional dancers from The Modern Dance Collective will act as moving statue goddesses, mirroring visitors movements throughout the evening.

Cid Pearlman, an accomplished choreographer and our current Participatory Performing Artist In Residence will create a participatory movement experience for museum goers of all ages. Three installation environments built from recycled materials will become sets for ongoing performances. Participants will workshop simple movement tableaus and interactions, inhabiting the installations, and considering how meaning and narrative can be generated through juxtaposition of body and object. Visitors can create music to be a part of the performance, change the lighting and contribute to the evolving installation.

Create giant bubbles that fly into the sky, explore chalk drawings and watch amazing live performances in Abbott Square.
