NYC COMMUNITY TALENT SHOW
EVENT PRODUCTION / CURATION
In May of 2023, I curated and produced Let’s Get Weird: A Show of Creative Talents at Kworq’s studio in Gowanus, Brooklyn.
An ode to grade-school talent shows, this community-oriented extravaganza featured a collection not-so-typical talents from NYC’s finest, gifts & goods by Human Flower Productions, wine and spirits sponsored by Gowanus Wine Merchants and Halftone Spirits, and a multi-prize raffle sponsored by Four & Twenty Blackbirds and Stumptown Coffee.
Hosted by comedian Michael Bevan, the sold-out event showcased the potent creative forces of the Brooklyn community, from a burlesque Bob Ross skit, to a tap-dancing duo, to a musical number dedicated to Antonio Banderas. All proceeds from the event were donated to Gowanus Mutual Aid.
