SOAK
SOAK presented a cascade of AcTs and training in theater, Butoh, dance, music, and performance art every Spring over four weeks for six years. SOAK broadened the perceptions of LEIMAY artists and audiences with work that was experimental, rigorous, and thought-provoking. The festival showcased finished and in-progress work by international, local, and fellow artists, and blended them together in a melange that inspired audiences, invigorated the artists, and stimulated the community surrounding LEIMAY’s activities. SOAK programming included performances, classes, workshops, and lectures.
“Participating in the SOAK festival made me feel like an important member of a community of talented and committed artists. It was a great chance to share visions and ideas and to get valuable feedback. The atmosphere created was exactly what I entered the arts – and came to NYC – looking for. Thank you for inviting me to be a part of it!” – Rachel Cohen, Black Studio Resident, 2012
“SOAK is an incredible opportunity to explore new work in a professional and supportive environment. Shige and Ximena strike a great balance between encouraging experimentation and providing insightful critique to strengthen the work while staying true to its original intention. Presenting with a community of other artists platforming their own incarnations truly enriches the experience.” – Derek DiMartini, SOAK Artist, 2017
“Being a part of SOAK places you within a community of artists who are empowered to take the presentation of their work into their own hands. It is a valuable experience to build something collectively from the ground up, with guidance and framework from LEIMAY.” – Kate Ladenheim, SOAK Artist and LEIMAY Fellow 2017-2018
