SANCTUARY is an immersive installation series by Bellamy Brewster. Its 2023 New York edition transformed two floors of Synagogue for the Arts into an exhibition, performance space and dance hall.
Upstairs, MEDITATIONS brought together photographs of natural rock formations with choir and harp performances and readings from the Commit to Memory chapbook. Downstairs, TRANCE self-portraits and video were projected onto a ten-foot screen, lighting a dance hall with dancers and DJs. Scent by Phil Wong of Hawthorne; food by Zacarias Gonzalez.
Production: Preacher House, multi/title. Producers: Hillary Lui, Ryan Keenan. Casting director and producer: Andrew Katz. Choir: The Late Show’s Gospel Choir. Harpists: Ellena Phillips, Liann Cline. Dancers: Princess Lockeroo & Troupe.
Partners and supporters: OTBA, Preacher House, Hillary Lui, Ryan Keenan, KZ_K Studio, Jesse Keyes, Andrew Katz, Rémy Martin, Ashley Systems and Hawthorne.
