SUMMARY:Forget Everything You Know and Remember All the Things You Are
DESCRIPTION:Singer Songwriter		\n\n		\n			Share:\n			\n								\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n			\n		\n\n	 \n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	Forget Everything You Know and Remember All the Things You Are  Wednesdays in October  6 pm – 8 pm  $195 We live in a culture that relentlessly asks us to be optimized\, efficient\, and productive. In this constant drive toward "betterment\," we often lose touch with the parts of ourselves that exist simply to experience\, to wonder\, and to play. This four-week gathering is a refusal of that pressure. It is a space designed for creative reclamation: a place to step out of the role of the "performer" and back into the rhythm of your own humanity.  This is not a course about mastering a skill; it is a practice of being.   Rather than focusing on the finished product\, we turn our attention to the process: the texture of a sound\, the weight of a found object\, the breath in the body\, and the space between us. We explore the tension between intention and surrender\, learning how to allow creativity to move through us without the need to make it "useful" or "perfect." Through somatic awareness\, sound exploration\, and the use of found materials\, we practice the art of showing up exactly as we are.  You are invited to bring whatever tools or inclinations you already possess: a musical instrument\, a visual or writing practice\, a love of movement\, or simply your own curious attention. Whether you  consider yourself an artist or not is irrelevant; the work is not about what you make\, but about who you remember you are.  Bio:  Sarah K. Pedinotti is a multidisciplinary musician\, producer\, and storyteller based in Brooklyn\, New York. Under the moniker Lip Talk\, she creates music that blurs boundaries between song\, art\, and improvisation. She co-runs Snack Mix\, an ongoing improvisation residency in NYC that brings together a rotating cast of musicians for spontaneous\, exploratory performance. Her recent multimedia installation\, Mantis Shrimp Matrix—which premiered in Bangkok and Tokyo—combined sound design\, environmental art\, and visual storytelling. Over the past twenty years\, she has produced\, performed\, and recorded across a wide spectrum of styles.  Originally from New York’s Capital Region\, Sarah began performing at local venues including Caffè Lena\, where her love of live improvisation first took root. Her work invites audiences and students alike into a spirit of deep listening\, play\, and creative freedom.  Influences and Inspirations:  Pauline Oliveros: The practice of Deep Listening and expanding perception. Nuar Alsadir: The concept of Animal Joy and laughter as a release from self-surveillance.Adrienne Maree Brown: The principles of emergent strategy and revolutionary love.Ross Gay: The cultivation of joy through radical noticing. Yoko Ono: The power of participatory\, instructional\, and relational art. Braiding Sweetgrass: The wisdom of reciprocity and our relationship with the material world.Butch Morris: collective\, real-time composition through conduction.#adultclass \n		\n	\n	 \n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n		\n		Doors Open\n		Doors Open: 4:30 pm	\n	 \n	\n\n		\n\n	\n		\n	\n						\n					Price\n					\n						Member\n						$81.34\n					\n				\n							\n					\n					\n						General\n						$92.18\n					\n				\n							\n					\n					\n						Child or Student\n						$46.09\n					\n				\n						\n				 \n				inclusive of fees\n			\n		\n	 \n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n		\n					\n				Get Tickets			\n					\n				Streaming\n			\n			\n	 \n	\n	\n	\n	\n		\n		\n			Similar Events\n			\n				View All\n				\n			\n		\n				\n			\n				\n\n											\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Joan Osborne\n\n				Singer Songwriter\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Aug 15 • 8 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Martin Sexton Live Wide Open Tour 2026\n\n				American Roots Singer Songwriter\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Aug 22 • 5 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Martin Sexton Live Wide Open Tour 2026\n\n				American Roots Singer Songwriter\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Aug 22 • 8 PM
