All New Oval Debuts July 20

Philadelphia, PA

SUMMER AT THE OVAL+ TO RE-ENVISION USES FOR

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN PARKWAY

Large-Scale Installations by PORT Urbanism Complement Ever-Popular Entertainment, Recreation, Food, & Beer Garden

Philadelphia, PA – Fairmount Park Conservancy and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation will host the fifth summer of The Oval with expanded programming this year called The Oval+ (Plus) presented by PNC. The Oval+ features an expanded footprint and unique installations in addition to the ever-popular movie and music nights, food trucks, beer garden, and family-friendly activities. The partners have engaged a cutting-edge design firm, PORT Urbanism of Philadelphia and Chicago, to develop an installation that will inspire people to envision future, potential uses for the Benjamin Franklin Parkway beyond Eakins Oval.

Taking the theme of “What’s your Parkway, Philly?” this year’s Oval+ creates focal points on the Parkway from the Philadelphia Museum of Art to Logan Circle – for connecting with nature; enjoying art, culture, and play; or gathering for public dialogue about the future of the Parkway. Three immersive open-air “rooms” explore these current and future aspects of the Parkway and its open spaces. One “room” invites visitors to explore the lost and hidden Fairmount Park. Another celebrates the familiar and not-so-familiar aspects of Philadelphia culture and recreation. And the third space, centered on a giant ground mural of the city, invites locals and visitors to literally draw onto the city what they imagine their Parkway to be. The new ground mural, designed by PORT Urbanism and painted by Mural Arts Philadelphia, will complement the installations at the Oval.

At night, the installations – some extending to 24 feet in height – will be illuminated from within, creating a glowing effect. Other elements include a dynamic maze which will wind through the trees and a stage to accommodate a changing schedule of public events large and small. Also, to continue the theme, nearby Aviator Park and the newly renovated Shakespeare Park further down the Parkway will be the site of additional Oval+ installations and activities from collaborating organizations like the Franklin Institute and Free Library of Philadelphia.

The Oval+ runs from July 20-August 20, Wednesdays through Sundays. Highlights include:

·       The Oval Beer Garden serving hot food, craft brews, wine, and cocktails

·       Wellness Wednesdays with power yoga classes by Yoga Habit and kickboxing from CKO

·       Arts & Culture Thursdays featuring hip-hop classes and DJ dance parties

·       Food & Flicks Fridays showing free popular movies at dusk

·       Game Day Saturdays presenting Quizzo and music jam sessions in the Beer garden

·       Family Fun Sundays with Let’s Rock Recess, a kids’ DJ dance party in the Beer Garden

·       Games like mini-golf, cornhole, ping-pong, and giant chess and checkers

Jim Henson Exhibition Will Open at the Museum of the Moving Image Saturday July 22, 2017

36-01 35 Ave. (at 37 St.)

Astoria, NY

The permanent exhibition at the New York museum is devoted to the creative innovator and puppeteer who brought to life some of America’s most memorable characters

Museum of the Moving Image will open The Jim Henson Exhibition, a permanent exhibition devoted to Jim Henson, on Saturday, July 22, 2017. This dynamic visitor experience—housed in a new gallery space funded by the City of New York—explores Henson’s groundbreaking work for film and television and his transformative impact on popular culture.

The Jim Henson Exhibition features a broad range of artifacts from throughout Jim Henson's remarkable television and film career. It reveals how Henson and his team of builders, performers, and writers brought to life the enduringly popular worlds of The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, The Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth. It also includes material from Henson’s lesser known and experimental film projects, presenting Henson as a restlessly creative performer, filmmaker, and technical innovator.

Among the nearly 300 objects on view in The Jim Henson Exhibition are 47 puppets—including Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Rowlf, The Swedish Chef, Statler, Waldorf, Big Bird, Elmo, Cantus Fraggle, a Skeksis, and other popular favorites—character sketches, storyboards, scripts, photographs, and iconic costumes. Film and television clips and behind-the-scenes footage are presented on more than 27 monitors and projections throughout. Interactive experiences allow visitors to try their hand at puppeteering on screen and designing a puppet character.

Many of the artifacts in the exhibition are drawn from the 2013 donation by Jim Henson’s family to the Museum’s collection, which includes nearly 500 objects related to Henson’s unparalleled career and features historic puppets, costumes, production design material, and licensed merchandise. The exhibition also includes sketches, storyboards, scripts, and other material on loan from The Jim Henson Company Archives. Archival video and photographic material was provided by The Jim Henson Company, Sesame Workshop, and The Muppets Studio.

Secrets and Seawalls is an evening of dance in two distinct acts. Inspired by storms and disruption, Melissa Riker, in collaboration with architect Lee H. Skolnick, FAIA, uses methods of dance and architecture to explore vulnerability, power, and how each are revealed. Dancers whisper across an expanse; stealing and sharing secrets in a shifting, immersive environment. The piece is spurred by questions: Does power exist in the structures we create? In the way we withhold information? Or, is it in the vulnerability revealed before the storm? The work premiered along the beach at Fort Tilden in Gateway National Park, The Rockaways in 2015.

WRITTEN & PERFORMED BY

BORISLAW BILASH

THE PHYSICS THEATER

(300 WEST 43^rd STREET – ENTRANCE JUST WEST OF 8^TH AVENUE)

PERFORMANCES BEGIN JULY 22

Producer Eric Krebs announces the latest in performance science - That Chemistry Show. Written and performed by Borislaw Bilash, That Chemistry Show will begin performances on July 22.

A candle that moves water, a paper cup that won't burn, a firefly without fire. An atomic flash, weaponized sugar, a hydrogen bomb. Genie in a bottle, secret writing, elephant toothpaste...Yes! All these and more comprise That Chemistry Show, 80 minutes of incredible exploration led by long-time "mad scientist" Borislaw Bilash. Get ready for amazement and lots of laughter as Borislaw combines the world of chemistry and the world of show business. Your own world will never be boring again!

“I figured that if That Physics Show could play to over 30,000 audience members since it opened off-Broadway in February,2016, maybe we were on to something,” says producer Krebs. “With all the interest in science in our education system and in our political system, I wondered what a chemistry show might look like. We invited Borislaw to show us the best “wow” demonstrations that he had – and WOW! -  we were mightily entertained. If one science show is good, two would be even better. So, That Chemistry Show was born.”

Starting July 22, That Chemistry Show joins That Physics Show, the 2016 Drama Desk Award Winning off-Broadway sensation that is now in its second smash year.

The performance schedule for That Chemistry Show is Saturday & Sunday: July 22 and 23, August 12, 13, 19, and 20, September 9, 10, 16, 17, and October 1 @ 12noon.
