Latin American Jazz artists - Claudia Acuña, Magos Herrera, and Felipe Salles - share their personal stories and reflections on immigration reform in a new virtual concert series on Third Row Live
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (PRWEB) February 26, 2021 The lives of immigrants are a dialogue between the memory of what was left behind and the assimilation of new experiences. Perhaps it is their liminality - their sense of simultaneously being ostracized and embraced - that enables these Latin American artists to approach jazz, the most American of art forms, and make it their own.
In response to the newly introduced immigration reform bill, Third Row Live presents a series of concerts which celebrate the contributions of immigrants and mark a new chapter in our national dialogue. Three revered jazz musicians - Claudia Acuña, Magos Herrera, and Felipe Salles - will bring their respective ensembles to the historic Academy of Music Theatre in Northampton, MA.

South Philly Review
Nichole Canuso digital dance project a hit
Nichole Canuso was well ahead of the curve before the Zoom Boom occurred.
As founder of the Nichole Canuso Dance Company on Moore Street in South Philly, Canuso already had a project involving dance through virtual communication in the works before the pandemic hit.

She calls it a duet with someone unexpected where the audience members are the participants.
Things to Do: Photography exhibit, unique dance experience, virtual theater and old-time radio show A Convenient Soldier: The Black Guards of Maine can be viewed online through the Maine Historical Society.

New York Stage and Film Commits $100,000 to Support Artists with NEXUS Initiative
New York Stage and Film, considered “one of the preeminent incubators for theater in the country,” has committed $100,000 to their new NEXUS Initiative that brings together 20 multi-hyphenate artists to explore the question “where does story exist at the intersection of stage and film?” Through this inaugural program, NYSAF will offer direct support to these artists – each participant receives $5,000 and will take part in a series of conversations focused on the needs of new and expanded forms of storytelling that resonate with our time.
In order to increase access to the program and respond to the ideas of a broad range of storytellers, these 20 participants were recommended by 14 leading artists of stage and film for their accomplishments in exploring new forms of storytelling.
