Spring has sprung and the flowers are blooming!! Come move your body & dance with us this Sunday rain or shine! WHAT?: Your ticket entails... 1.) Bob's 2 hr dance workshop with the Bobettes. This includes a warm up, exercise and dance tutorial. 2.) Flash Bob surprise performance to take place immediately following the tutorial. WHO: is Bob's Dance Shop? Bob is a vibe that fills the space. A paradise for playful and purposeful self expression. He, she, they them, you, me, it, us. Bob's Dance Shop channels this vibe by combining dance, music and fashion into a timeless, nostalgic and precious moment. Check us out on Instagram , Tiktok , Youtube and Facebook @bobsdanceshop. ***DETAILS*** L OCATION: We are meeting at McCarren Park. Please see the photo below for the location within the park. CLASS: This is a beginner dance routine designed for all skill levels, 0-100. If you have two left feet, even better! BRING: a water bottle, comfortable shoes and your best Sunday in the Park clothes! OUR ASK: Be the vibe you wish to be. Respect the space and respect each other. Let loose and set your spirit free! TIMELINE: The instructional will last 2 hours, from 11am-1pm. At the end of class, we will walk to the flash mob location and get set up. The flash mob will happen at random following the tutorial, between 1pm - 2pm. FAQ1: "Can I come watch but not dance?" A: Unfortunately this ruins the surprise of a flash bob. Only come if you plan to be a part of the dance! FAQ2: "Where will the actual flash mob take place if our friends want to watch?" A: For the same reason above, we don't give out the location except to those participating. This prevents herds of people standing around with their phones out waiting with anticipation. QUESTIONS?

Mending is a form of resistance! Coming together at the Textile Arts Center on the first Sunday of each month, we can explore this intervention through the act of mending our precious textiles: forming relationships with our clothes, objects, and with each other. Pamphlets and examples of darning, mending, and sashiko stitching, as well as materials will be provided. Please bring yourself (and maybe a friend) and an object you wish to mend. ~~~ All Levels welcome :) ~~~ A little about Darn it! and its Co-Hosts.... The history of mending and mending techniques in my practice has become a more specific facet of my ongoing interest in the gendering of fine art vs. craft throughout the centuries. The detailed hand stitching of mending scars naturally display the intimate relationship and innate sustainability humans used to have with their clothes. The very act of mending a textile today becomes a form of resistance in itself: resistance to the relationship- or lack thereof- we have with our belongings we are so quick to discard. When one actively chooses to mend a garment, saving it from the landfill, a relationship is thus formed. ‘Darn it’, like any mending act, looks to intervene in the rapid death cycle of consuming clothing today, and to help foster deeper relationships with one's objects as a whole. - b y Martina Cox Instructions from 'Mend! A Refashioning Manual and Manifesto' by Kate Sekules will be provided. Martina Cox is an artist based out of New York City. After graduating from the Cooper Union in 2018, Martina founded her eponymous clothing label, selling one-off garments made to order as a way to uphold slow fashion values. Since closing her business in 2021, Martina has continued to make work about fashion history and craft through Sculpture, Drawing and Performance. She began hosting monthly mending clubs as a way to address methodolgies and spaces where we can learn to heal relationships with objects we often deem as disposable. Hekima Hapa is a Fashion Designer, social entrepreneur, author and Founder of the 22 year sustainable independent fashion brand inspired by Africa and the people of its diaspora, Harriet’s Alter Ego also known as Harriet’s by Hekima. In 2013, she founded Black Girls Sew, a nonprofit organization committed to positively impacting the lives of youth and families through education in sewing, design and entrepreneurship. Kate Sekules is the author of 'MEND! A Refashioning Manual and Manifesto.' She is completing a doctorate in material culture at the Bard Graduate Center NYC with a dissertation titled "A History and Theory of Mending," teaches fashion history at Pratt, and a new course, "Mending Fashion" at Parsons.
