JACK launches its 2015 fall season with a mixture of fierce emerging artists alongside veterans taking unusual turns. New sensation Sister Sylvester kicks it off with its investigation of arts and activism, They Are Gone But Here Must I Remain. Dance/theater marvel Raja Feather Kelly follows with Another 37 Reasons To Cry (a Warholian production). In October, Brooklyn Gypsies are back at JACK with Ghetto Hors d'oeuvres: Borders Collide. Other offerings include a twisted beauty pageant in The Psychic Readings Company’s Miss Chthonic Star Dream Pageant, spectacle in the form of Ayesha Jordan’s Come See My Double D’s, choreographers Jennifer Monson, Neil Greenberg and Yvonne Meier in a very special shared bill, a weekend of Afro-futurism curated by Thomas DeFrantz and Niv Acosta, newcomers I AM A BOYS CHOIR with or how I became an ice princess, and the premiere of Scotty Heron and Brendan Connelly’s Appalachian Spring Break.
