Join Joel Tenenbaum for an evening of Circling!

Circling is the practice of being with people, sharing and staying present with your live embodied experience and reactions to others.

It is a meditation practice where your focus is on direct perceptions or sensations, especially in relation to others (e.g. "Hearing your experience of loneliness, I feel soft toward you.") instead of focusing on another object such as the breath. The emphasis is on feeling what happens in your body instead of habitually reacting to it.

A session of Circling is called a "Circle" and lasts typically between 30 and 45 minutes.

In this session, you'll start with warm-up exercises and explanations about the practice, followed by 2 or 3 Circles. No experience necessary! $20

From Baghdad to Brooklyn is Michelle Azar’s story of her ancestors’ immigrant journey; charted in a map of music traditions and cultural celebrations. Arts at the Armory’s Spotlight Series is thrilled to present Azar’s original one-woman show on March 16, 2025.

With an angelic voice, deep sentiment and humor, Michelle tells a timely story of a family's love and dysfunction set against an historical and redemptive background.

Azar describes the evolution of From Baghdad to Brooklyn since its inception in 2017: "The show has morphed and continues to do so. Sometimes the story is more about fear. Sometimes it is more about redemption. Sometimes the story tracks more my Ashkenazi background, and sometimes, more my Sephardic. Whatever the course this show takes, it is an ongoing discovery of what it still means to live in vague prejudice, in moments of hidden fears and intolerance as fueled by the historical backdrop that I never lived."

Azar’s performance will be accompanied by Oud player Yonatan Battat and a soon-to-be announced pianist.

From Baghdad to Brooklyn is presented by Arts at the Armory in partnership with the Boston Festival of New Jewish Music. A special performance by a local Klezmer band will follow Azar’s play - stay tuned for more details!

Doors will open at 5:00pm, music will start at 5:30pm followed by the performance at 6:00pm.
Get your tickets here!

Tickets purchased for From Baghdad to Brooklyn are non-refundable. All sales are final.

No artistic background is required, and materials such as colored paper, drawing utensils, and magazines for collaging will be provided. Bring your friends and have fun creating in community!

Zines are a self-produced book about anything! (hence the name coming from just the “-zine” portion of “magazine,” like a mini-magazine). Inherently meant to be as low-cost and accessible as possible, zine-making is a no-expectations form of creativity where it’s not about the materials you use, but about giving space to thoughts, observations, and perspectives that would otherwise not be published or considered.

Zine Space wishes to share forms of zine-making and means of self-publishing with the public as a means of soft community awareness and self-empowerment. Through zine-making, community members can explore how to freely create for themselves and alongside others without the pressure of expectation.

For parking: you can park for free on the bridge on Washington street after school hours! There is also meter parking throughout Union Square.

Attend one of two upcoming meetings to help shape the future of Somerville’s music ecosystem. Whether you’re concerned about venues, rehearsal spaces, recording spaces, or other issues, lend your voice to the conversation and help us brainstorm solutions. These meetings are a continuation of the “cultural ambassador” music meetings the Somervill Arts Council held to help shape the Somerville Cultural Capacity Plan. Moving forward with these community music group meetings to focus on music infrastructure issues is one of the actionable items mentioned in the plan. Special thanks to Ajda Snyder and the Art Stays Here coalition for leading the charge with these meetings.

Members of the music community are encouraged to participate so SAC can deepen their understanding of local needs and explore collaborative solutions between the City and the local community. With recent ACE zoning revisions and growing potential for development to provide space that can support the music ecosystem, these conversations will allow members of the music community to have a direct role in shaping spaces that serve them best.

Music Ecosystem Meeting 2: March 23, 4-5:30pm, Somerville Music Spaces, 1060 Broadway C101B
