Participants will engage in structured movement experiences that honor diverse ways of knowing while building confidence in creative self-expression. No prior dance or theatre experience required—just curiosity and willingness to move! \n\n\n\nActivities include: \n\n\n\n• Closing circle sharing reflections through movement and words \n\n\n\n• Warm-up movement sequences that connect breath\, voice\, and body \n\n\n\n• Collaborative storytelling through guided improvisation \n\n\n\n• Introduction to heightened language through playful poetry and rhythmic speech \n\n\n\n• Moving tableaux creation where participants embody characters and emotions \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA2AC PlayLab is supported by a grant from  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT A2D2 THEATRE

SUMMARY:Organic Fiction Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Opening Reception of Organic Fiction: Nature-Inspired Abstract Paintings by Hava Gurevich in the A2AC Gallery. \n\n\n\nHava Gurevich's work is a celebration of the hidden magic woven through the natural world. Intricate networks of mushrooms\, flowers\, bees\, coral\, and imagined life forms that remind us how deeply everything is connected. In Organic Fiction\, Gurevich explores these relationships through colorful abstractions inspired by botany\, marine life\, and microscopic worlds. \n\n\n\nGuided by the repeating and fractal patterns found across nature\, from pollen grains to river systems\, Gurevich translates fleeting moments into layered compositions that blur the line between observation and imagination. These works evoke not only ecosystems but also thought systems\, inviting viewers to contemplate how life adapts\, transforms\, and regenerates across time and scale. \n\n\n\nRefreshments provided by the artist. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THIS EXHIBITION

SUMMARY:A2AC PlayLab: Exploring Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Students ages 8+ and their caregivers are invited to join author and editor Upasna Kakroo from Peerbagh in this special FREE 2-day workshop for young aspiring writers! \n\n\n\nLearn new storytelling frameworks and explore world stories to spark your imagination! In this 2-day workshop\, caregivers and children will create stories together and in groups as we write a little\, spin a little yarn\, paint\, and even record an audio story! Participants will receive prompts\, a story-writing blueprint\, and a take-home toolkit to practice writing (or painting) their unique stories. As a bonus\, kids and grown-ups will have a chance to submit a story to be published in the Bento children's magazine. \n\n\n\nNo prior writing or storytelling experience is needed\, just come curious! \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER FOR FREE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT PEERBAGH\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeerbagh’s mission is to improve teacher\, librarian\, and parent skills and bring the lost art of storytelling into the classroom or teaching environment through art\, creative writing\, theater\, cultural inquisitiveness\, and oral storytelling. \n\n\n\nWe conduct South-Asia-inspired storytelling workshops\, publish a children’s magazine\, Bento\, and create toolkits for educators and families. We create an inclusive space for ALL children\, so they have a sense of belonging and build creative confidence. \n\n\n\nWe provide tools for families and educators so they will be empowered to be cultural change agents. Through these tools\, we train educators and parents to introduce diverse perspectives and critical thinking in children. \n\n\n\nWe also support South-Asian and other global artists in these areas to revive or practice their art forms. \n\n\n\nWe work out of Austin\, Ann Arbor\, Montreal\, Dehradun\, and via Zoom screens everywhere. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER FOR FREE

SUMMARY:404 Accountability Not Found - Satirical Paintings of Bright Ackwerh Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Opening Reception of 404: Accountability Not Found in the A2AC Spotlight Gallery. Since the upsurge of the World Wide Web more than two decades ago\, those searching the internet have occasionally encountered the message\, “404: Page Not Found.” This visual notification often stirs frustration and disappointment. The exhibition title replaces “Page Not Found” with “Accountability Not Found\,” taking a cue from this sentiment of frustration and disappointment to situate itself within the context of artistic social commentary. Through the satirical paintings of Bright Ackwerh\, this exhibition offers insight into lived experiences in contemporary Africa and a visual representation of a singular yet collective response to these experiences. The exhibition explores how art can confront the global challenge of holding elected officials accountable for their actions. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE EXHIBITION
