SUMMARY:Learning How To Read By Moonlight
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a one-night only reading of a new play with music by Gaven Trinidad and directed by Nicholas Polonio. \nA collection of Filipino\, Fil-Am\, and AANHPI artists is coming together for a concert reading of the play Learning How to Read by Moonlight to fundraise for University Settlement’s Adult English Classes. The classes are offered at a variety of levels to adult immigrant students during the daytime\, evenings\, and weekends\, free of charge. \nNick Polonio is the director. Carolina Do and Ariel Estrada are producing\, with co-producers: New York Theatre Workshop\, The Song Collective\, Betterfly Productions\, Leviathan Lab\, and University Settlement. \nThis 2025 Boston Critics’ Pick play follows a young\, undocumented Filipino family’s journey to build a home in Queens\, New York. The story is told through the eyes of six-year-old Eddie\, exploring his fears and joys in a world that tells him he has no home. The play is performed in both English and Tagalog. Though written in 2019\, we believe the play’s exploration of immigration\, language\, and resistance is resonant now more than ever. We hope that through our storytelling\, we raise funds for these amazing language programs\, as well as remind our audiences that they are human. \nTickets are pay-what-you-can\, and all proceeds go directly to University Settlement.  \nIf you cannot attend\, there is an option to still donate. Every donation\, no matter how small\, counts! Please feel free to share this information with others.

SUMMARY:The Ciba Punch 女拳手打糍粑
DESCRIPTION:Join CAO Collective in punching on sticky rice and making ciba\, in the spirit of queer/feminist rage and love!\n\n\nTime: 7:30pm – 9pm\, Thursday\, December 11\, 2025 \nLocation: Speyer Hall\, Performance Project at University Settlement\, 184 Eldridge St \nThe Ciba Punch 女拳手打糍粑 is a public performance series that invites community members to punch steamed sticky rice into rice cakes. Ciba is a kind of Chinese rice cake that is eaten with brown sugar and other dips. In bringing this food-making process to the public\, we hope to reclaim the feminized labor of cooking in domestic spaces and foster cross-cultural connections and movement building. Spiritual Figures\, led by Julia Santoli\, symbolize queer feminist ancestors and our future selves. They will roam around the punchers to provide sonic\, somatic\, and spiritual guidance. \nIn the spirit of queer/feminist ethics of care\, we invite you to bring your grief\, rage\, love\, and hope — and transform them into food that nourishes our community. Let’s punch! \n \nNotes: \n1) We will send any updates to your email address\, so please make sure to fill out your regular email account. You can DM us on Instagram @caocollective or email caocollective@gmail.com if you have any questions. \n2) Please note that although we try to follow sanitary procedures\, we are not qualified to serve the ciba as food\, and please consume at your own risk. \n3) RSVP is not required but highly encouraged so we can prepare proper amount of sticky rice. You are also welcome to bring steamed/cooked sticky rice as an offering. \n4) To ensure the health and safety of our community\, we require that participants wear a face mask (KN94/95 and higher quality preferred) and use sanitation gloves when punching. We will provide masks and gloves. \n5) Please note that this public program will be photographed and video recorded. \n \nAcknowledgement: This program is funded by the 2025 Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) Creative Engagement Grant and received partial support from The Performance Project @University Settlement. \n\n\n\nAbout the artists/organizers \nCAO Collective 离离草 \nCAO Collective creates art to empower relational community healing. Their works investigate systems of discipline\, control\, censorship\, and capitalist extraction and reimagine memory/memorials\, rituals\, intimacy\, and queer/feminist kinship to (re)build sustainable community infrastructures. \n@caocollective / caocollective.com \n \nJulia Santoli \nJulia Santoli is a Vietnamese-American multi-disciplinary artist\, musician\, composer\, and music organizer.
