IN addition to solo performances\, he has appeared with the Ictus Ensemble (Brussels\, BE)\, Ensemble L’Arsenale (IT)\, zone Experimental (CH)\, Basel Sinfonietta (CH)\, New York City Ballet\, Ensemble LPR\, and Orchestra of St. Luke’s (US). A fierce advocate for contemporary arts\, Woods has collaborated and worked with a wide range of artists ranging from the likes of Louis Andriessen\, Elliott Carter\, Heinz Holliger\, G. F. Haas\, Helmut Lachenmann\, Klaus Lang\, and Peter Eötvos to Peter Gabriel\, Sting\, Lou Reed\, Dame Shirley Bassey\, and Rachael Yamagata to such visual artists as Ron Athey\, Vanessa Beecroft\, Jack Early\, Adam Pendleton\, and Aldo Tambellini. \n– June 6 @ 7:00PM\, Hibernian Hall\nBeginning at 6:30pm\, there will be self-guided “edu-stations”: interactive\, hand-on learning stations focused on the historic 1968 Memphis sanitation strike that birthed the I AM A MAN declaration. \n\nI Am Not Your Negro\nFree film screening \nA free screening of I Am Not Your Negro by Raoul Peck\, a documentary about writer and activist James Baldwin.  \nLight food and drinks provided.  \nAbout the film: Master filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the book James Baldwin never finished\, Remember This House. The result is a radical\, up-to-the-minute examination of race in America\, using Baldwin’s original words and flood of rich archival material. I Am Not Your Negro is a journey into black history that connects the past of the Civil Rights movement to the present of #BlackLivesMatter. It is a film that questions black representation in Hollywood and beyond. And\, ultimately\, by confronting the deeper connections between the lives and assassination of Medgar Evers\, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.\, Baldwin and Peck have produced a work that challenges the very definition of what America stands for. \n“Whatever you think about the past and future of what used to be called “race relations” this movie will make you think again\, and may even change your mind.” – A.O. Scott\, The NYTimes \n– June 7 @ 6PM\, Hibernian Hall \n\nFinale Concert: I AM A MAN\nFeaturing spoken word\, dance\, and music performed by Castle of our Skins \nFeaturing spoken word\, dance\, multimedia\, and music by Black male composers\, including a world premiere by Castle of our Skins 2018-2019 Composer-in-Residence Brian Raphael Nabors.
