Please join us for one of the performances of<em> Be Holding<\/em> as our guest.<\/p>\n<p><em>Be Holding<\/em> is a large-scale performance staged on the basketball court of the Thelma Lovette YMCA. Based on Ross Gay\u2019s poem <em>Be Holding<\/em> and directed by Brooke O\u2019Harra, the performance draws on the poem\u2019s love song to legendary basketball player Julius Erving\u2014known as Dr. J\u2014who dominated courts in the 1970s and \u201880s as a small forward for the Philadelphia \u201876ers. The poem and its iteration as the performance BE HOLDING connects Dr. J\u2019s famously impossible move from the 1980 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers to black flight and joy. This performance engages a dynamic collective of artists, as well as high school students from Pittsburgh, who are joining the production as performers and technical support.<\/p>\n<p>The performance is scored and conducted by Tyshawn Sorey for improvisation by the ensemble Yarn\/Wire. Directed by Brooke O\u2019Harra. The text is performed by Ross Gay and poet David Gaines and is accompanied by a four channel video installation designed by Matt Deinhart with orginal video designed by Catching on Thieves Lighting is by Itohan Edoloyi. Sound design by Eugene Lew. Stage Manager is Amir Watkins Watkins. <em>Be Holding<\/em> was originally developed in residency as part of Girard College\u2019s Campus for the City Program and premiered in Philadelphia on May 31, 2023 at Girard College.<\/p>\n<p>Yarn\/Wire, Ross Gay, and David Gaines will be joined on the court by an ensemble of Pittsburgh based teenagers: Jesselyn Welsh, Mira Chiarini, Kayaerah Clokey, Unique Dukes, Jewelisa Dutrieulle, Kyrai Nembhard, Te\u2019Mar Carlise, Lorelie Myers, and Nickala Tulloch.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/my.carnegiemuseums.org\/154636\/154863?site=CMA\" class=\"cmoa-button\">Get Saturday Tickets \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/my.carnegiemuseums.org\/154636\/154864?site=CMA\" class=\"cmoa-button\">Get Sunday Tickets \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Sat., May 2, 7:30\u20139 p.m.Sun., May 3, 7:30\u20139 p.m.Doors open at 6:30 p.m, performance begins promptly at 7:30 p.m.Open Seating Where Thelma Lovette YMCA We are so grateful to the members of the Thelma Lovette YMCA for sharing your space with us.
