Authentic Movement is a contemplative dance practice rooted in expressive movement therapy, where participants explore the unconscious mind through the moving body. The practice brings focus to the relationship between a mover and a witness, fostering states of compassion, curiosity, and non-judgment. With eyes closed, the mover listens inwardly to impulses, sensations, feelings, and images, allowing their inner experience to guide self-directed movement. The witness cultivates open receptivity, non-judgment, and inner awareness as they hold space for the mover’s expression. In this exploration of “seeing and being seen,” participants deepen their sense of trust and self-awareness.

Olana is the most intact historic artist’s environment in the U.S., encompassing the Main House, historic farm complex, and 250-acre landscape designed by Frederic Church. Despite its preservation, several structures from Church’s time were removed before Olana became a landmark. Their absence erased stories of those who built and used them. Foundations, archaeological evidence, photographs, maps, or oral histories remain. These buildings vanished, but their stories live in the landscape. For "What’s Missing?" The Olana Partnership commissioned Ellen Harvey and Gabriela Salazar to create site-specific artworks responding to these missing pieces of Olana’s landscape history. olana.org/whatsmissing

Conversation with Zohar Lazar, led by Jeff Bailey: Sunday August 3rd, 2pm. Closing Reception: Sunday August 24th, 1-5pm.

It is the ideal visual language for its light touch with subjects that might otherwise feel self-serious or overly morbid. A rotating cast of characters are deployed to act out the scenes and daydreams of my youth. These paintings are a tribute to teenage isolation and boredom."
