SUMMARY:On Buried Ground featuring Emily Bate (Rescheduled from Sep 8 to Sep 9)
DESCRIPTION:Free outdoor performance — registration required\nIn the wake of continued loss artists Emily Bate and Shayla-Vie Jenkins each present new meditations in the Christ Church Burial Ground. Each work\, sited in one of the oldest resting places in Philadelphia\, considers grief and communal gatherings of public healing. Bate and Jenkins each acknowledge the burial ground as a tender and troubled place that holds layers of the city’s history — casting it as a space that is ultimately as much about futures created together as it is the past. \nThis program is curated and organized by Katy Dammers and produced by Christ Church Neighborhood House. \nEmily Bate is a harmony fanatic\, obsessed with cooking up voice sounds with people in the seething soup of humanity. This manifests in a wide variety of disciplines (music performance\, theater\, film\, social practice) and roles (composer\, vocalist\, arranger\, conductor\, facilitator\, performer). Emily founded and conducts a 65-member queer community chorus called Trust Your Moves\, an experiment in collective singing designed around liberation and co-creation. \n			\n				Reserve Free Tickets

SUMMARY:The Choice
DESCRIPTION:Pack a lunch for your kids while 10 months pregnant!Laugh with a middle-aged Australian mum!Panic about the future of the human race amidst climate catastrophe!Tell a woman what to do with her body! \nJoin us as we decide whether or not to have children! Better yet\, decide for us! \nWelcome to the womb where it happens: The Choice\, an interactive theatre show by inFLUX\, unpacks the decision to have children\, exposing the most intimate parts of a woman’s choice. \nJacinta\, age 35\, must confront this life-altering choice before it’s too late for her: how will she decide? On the one hand there is the joy of raising a baby and watching them grow\, on the other is the undeniable contribution to overpopulation that is dooming the earth. Christine\, 29\, deeply wants children\, but faces the fear of becoming “just a mom” and losing a career she’s only just beginning. Jacqueline\, 25\, wishes she was being asked any question but this one. They invite the audience to join them as they dive into it all: financial realities\, personal relationships\, societal and family pressure\, a changing climate\, and the morality of bringing new life into today’s world. \nThey lay it all bare for an audience\, ultimately asking the existential question – should we be having children? \nThe Choice is the first chapter of The Motherhood Project\, a decade-long series of performances by the members of inFLUX – Jacqueline Libby\, Christine Octavia Shaw\, and Jacinta Yelland. Facing down the decade where their reproductive choices become more important\, more scrutinized\, and more impactful\, they came together to create The Motherhood Project to examine their evolving relationship to motherhood in five new works of theatre over the next ten years. \n			\n				Reserve Tickets

SUMMARY:MLK Weekend Transcribe-A-Thon
DESCRIPTION:Please note attendees will need to read cursive to transcribe. \nTune in on Sunday\, January 16\, 12:00 – 1:15 pm to learn about our Transcribe-A-Thon! The African American Museum in Philadelphia is proud to partner with the Christ Church Preservation Trust to make this scholarly program possible. \nTo “transcribe” means to make an exact copy of something. This year\, we will be copying Philadelphia Congregations Early Records from the 18th & 19th centuries. These records illuminate topics including Philadelphia’s activities during the Civil War\, the role of the church in enslaved and free African communities from the mid-1700s through the Civil War\, and the rise of new religious denominations\, such as the Episcopal Church and the African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas. \nTranscription turns handwritten and typed documents into searchable and machine-readable resources. This not only means that content transcribed becomes text-searchable online (and discoverable!)\, but it also ensures that historical materials can be accessible for all. Together\, we are unlocking secrets hidden deep inside our collections that illuminate our history and our world. \nThank you for becoming a digital volunteer! \n			\n				Register Here
