PERFORMANCE SPACE NEW YORK GALA

Black Swan’s Song: A Jazz Dinner Theater by The Nano Collective

Performance Space celebrated three trailblazing figures in the city’s creative landscape—artist and educator Pope.L, writer and activist Sarah Schulman, and Michelle Coffey, executive director of the Lambent Foundation—while treating guests to a seated dinner by Doshi’s Susan Kim, and a slew of musical acts, MCed by the poet Brontez Purnell. A star-studded hosting party—counting Telfar, Eartheater, Claire Danes, Raul Lopez, Chloë Sevigny, Cindy Sherman, and Justin Vivian Bond among its ranks—welcomed guests at a cocktail hour, bookended with the close of a silent auction and an afterparty DJed by BEARCAT.
