SUMMARY:JAPANESE GRANDMA FUNERAL (A Fringe Fundraiser Show)
DESCRIPTION:Kento the Clown restages his Okinawan grandmother’s funeral with the audience as family—a joyful\, participatory ritual. Fringe fundraiser.\n\n\nKento the Clown restages his Okinawan grandmother’s funeral—with the audience as his family—in this joyful\, participatory ritual about grief\, culture\, and learning to ask for help. Speaking of asking for help\, this performance is also a fundraiser supporting the show’s upcoming Edinburgh Fringe run.           \nKento the Clown missed his Okinawan grandmother’s funeral\, so he’s creating a new one—with the audience cast as his entire family—in this intimate\, participatory clown ritual. This performance also serves as a fundraiser to support the show’s upcoming run at the Edinburgh Fringe.         \nAudience members are invited into gentle\, joyful participation: performing a candy version of hashiwatashi (the bone-passing ritual)\, holding cue cards while Kento performs Macbeth for his grandmother (a former high-school drama teacher)\, and joining small communal gestures throughout the ceremony.           \nBeneath the playful clowning is a deeply human story about a boy raised to be “strong and independent\,” so much so that he never learned how to ask for help. In this imagined funeral\, Obaachan teaches him her final lesson: strength doesn’t mean doing everything alone.              \nWhile it deals with death and family\, audiences leave feeling warm\, included\, and unexpectedly buoyed.              \nKento the Clown is played by Kento Morita\, a Japanese American actor\, clown\, and writer. He originated the role of Actor 5 in Akira Kurosawa Explains His Movies and Yogurt at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company\, and has provided voice work for Marty Supreme and Get Jiro!. Kento is a contributor to The Onion\, and regularly performs at Upright Citizens Brigade\, The Second City\, and other performance spaces around New York.

SUMMARY:The Story Collider: Unspoken - Stories About Science
DESCRIPTION:True\, personal stories about science\n\n\nThe Story Collider is a storytelling show dedicated to bringing true\, personal stories about science to audiences around the world. Each month we bring five storytellers to the stage to tell their stories of how science impacted their lives in touching\, funny\, and interesting ways. \nJoin us for an evening of stories about science that is not talked about enough\, from mental health to infertility. Spend the evening with 5 stories that need to be heard\, at Caveat\, NYC! \nHosted by Diana Li and Paula Croxson at Caveat NYC. Doors at 6:30pm. Show starts at 7:00pm. \nIn person and livestreamed. Early bird tickets available until until January 19\, 7:00pm. \nStories by:\nDenise Cai\, PhD\, is an Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Mount Sinai\, which is ironic since her last science class was high school biology. Her two biggest regrets are not trying out for the cheerleading team and not starting antidepressants sooner. Both helped shape her path toward understanding how our past experiences guide who we become. She studies how the brain organizes and integrates experiences so memories can inform future choices\, and how this process changes with trauma or aging. Denise co-developed open source Miniscopes\, (tiny head-mounted microscopes) that let researchers watch neurons interact in real time. Using these tools\, her lab has shown that memory systems are not tidy photo albums. They are more like chaotic group chats that constantly link\, relink\, and reshape our identities. Denise is passionate about fostering curiosity\, creativity\, and community. She believes that real scientific breakthroughs arise when diverse perspectives are welcomed and empowered. She still suspects she would have made a great cheerleader. \nDr Zakia Ghafari is an author\, consultant\, and captivating storyteller. An immigrant from Afghanistan\, she weaves powerful narratives of resilience\, womanhood\, and reinvention. Blending science and soul\, she inspires audiences to embrace change\, celebrate strength\, and transform life’s challenges into fuel for a vibrant\, empowered future. \nClare McCormack\, PhD\, is an assistant professor in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Her research focuses on women’s mental health in pregnancy and the peripartum\, and challenges the “mommy brain” construct. She takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding interactions between brain\, biology\, and the environment in shaping adaptation to parenthood. Her recent work is among the first to use brain MRI during pregnancy to examine neuroplasticity at the transition to parenthood and its implications for maternal and infant health. \nDr. Kibby McMahon is a licensed clinical psychologist\, researcher\, and digital health entrepreneur who’s obsessed with the emotional complexities of relationships. She earned her BA from Columbia University and her PhD in clinical psychology from Duke University\, where her NIMH-funded research focused on how regulating our own emotions helps us connect more deeply with others. She has held research and clinical roles at Duke University Medical Center\, Columbia University\, Weill Cornell Hospital\, and the Max Planck Institute. Dr. Kibby is a family caregiver and breast cancer survivor- experiences that reshaped how she understands vulnerability\, resilience\, and what it means to care for others while holding yourself together. These threads came together when she co-founded KulaMind\, a digital mental health company that supports loved ones of people with mental illness through evidence-based skills\, coaching\, and AI-powered tools. She also hosts the podcast “A Little Help for Our Friends\,” which explores the invisible emotional labor of loving someone who is struggling with mental health or addiction. She lives in New York with her tornado of a son\, a fluff of a dog\, and a partner-in-crime husband. \nAnnie Tan is an educator\, activist\, writer and storyteller from Manhattan’s Chinatown. Annie’s work has been featured in Huffington Post\, New Republic\, PBS’ Asian Americans\, RISK! and twice on The Moth Radio Hour on NPR. Annie is writing a memoir about connecting with her immigrant parents despite not sharing a common fluent language. Find more at annietan.com.

Host Dr. Mark Popinchalk and the Science\, Tonight reporting team are going to have their hands full keeping the show on the road as scientists and literal forces of nature have their turn in the hot seat. \nScience\, Tonight is like if Conan O’Brien met Charles Darwin\, Eric Andre met Marie Curie\, and John Oliver met the greatest\, underrated scientists of our time\, all to answer the universe’s biggest questions like: What has the speed of light been doing since college? When is my sleep paralysis demon’s new bedtime product line dropping? Has Betelgeuse heard the ending of Romeo and Juliet? The show is packed full of interviews\, audience “peer-review”\, learning\, laughs\, and an escalating sense of wonder and doom as our cast of experts and improvisers bring each topic to life. It’s science today\, tomorrow\, and Tonight! \nMark Popinchalk is an astronomer at the American Museum of Natural History who guesses how old stars are by looking at how quickly they spin; old stars spin slow\, young stars spin fast. He hosts the comedy talk show Science Tonight\, and is also a planetarium presenter\, ultimate frisbee player\, and bread maker. His favorite color is sky-blue-pink. He releases short form videos on socials every week\, and a new video every new moon on YouTube (@markpopinchalk). \nKristina Gustovich is an Earth scientist\, performer\, and educator. When she’s not puttin’ on the Ritz in live shows like Yesterday’s Horoscope\, she’s a doctoral student at Columbia’s Teachers College studying science education in informal settings like museums (and Caveat!). Find her on socials at @K_Gustovich on X and @mucho_gustovich on Instagram. \nIman Behbehani (she/her) is a masters student at the CUNY Graduate Center studying stellar explosions\, from dwarf novae to supernovae. Iman is a producer for Astro on Tap\, and started an affinity group for women of color in stem\, as she strives to make science more fun and inclusive. Outside of astro\, Iman enjoys boxing and riding her bike along riverside park. (Insta: @astroontapnyc) \nEmily Zhang is a writer/director specializing in science YouTube. Her path began with an astrophysics degree\, a lifelong love of video\, and a dream. She cut her teeth making videos and running operations at the science YouTube channel Veritasium\, and now freelances as a producer & advisor across a variety of channels. No\, she doesn’t have her own. Yet. IG @emilylinzhang. \nThis month’s guest! \nKyle Marian is a comedian\, producer\, science journalist and former scientist.
