“Friendship,” to quote the poet Simone White, “arises out of shared determination not to be destroyed.”

Simone enlists a group of friends and collaborators to compose a day-long experiment in connectivity that includes a strength-training intensive (gym) and a seminar (class). 

This is a collective performance where you are the participants. 

We are going to go fast and heat up. 

In the end, we generate a sonic display, both analog and digital.

Simone White (b. 1972, USA) is the author of 5 books of poetry and prose including, most recently, Warring (forthcoming from Duke University Press) a essay regarding the poethical effects of contemporary rap music. She is Associate Professor of English and Associate Faculty Director of Kelly Writers House at the University of Pennsylvania and also serves on the writing faculty at Bard College's Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts.

Due to the age and character of the building, the space is not optimized for ADA accessibility and is located up a single flight of 20 stairs with handrails. If you have questions about access, please contact us in advance of the event, and we will make every effort to accommodate you.
