THE WATERMILL CENTER 39 Watermill Town Road, Water Mill, NY 11976 631.726.4628 Joshua Seidner’s “Powderburn” – A Work in Progress 7:00 pm Free The emerging French-American writer-actor Seidner kicks off the Watermill Center's fall season this month with a residency developing "Powderburn," a theatrical work in which criminal tongues, death matches, and old-world machismo are set against the corruption of the 21st century. Named after a racial slur for blackness, "Powderburn" draws on the slang and languages, traditions, dances and fighting forms of Russia, Israel, Turkey, the Middle East and Latin America to explore "otherness" in America. The piece follows one man from his sun-scorched, war-torn homeland to an unnamed country in which cultures clash in cracked basements, men become brothers and then enemies, and a vicious class system turns him into an exoticized, eroticized, animal-like performer. The performance will be held at The Watermill Center, 39 Watermill Towd Road, Water Mill. Admission: Free, RSVP required. Reservations: joshuaseidner.eventbrite.com. Advisory: Performance includes male nudity and adult content.

THE WATERMILL CENTER 39 Watermill Town Road, Water Mill, NY 11976 631.726.4628 Katharina D. Martin’s Forest Time 7:00 pm Free In a residency taking place September 22–October 4, the German-born, Rotterdam-based performance and video artist Katharina D. Martin takes advantage of the Watermill Center’s unique locale, in addition to its resources for interdisciplinary work. Entitled Forest Time, her project will entail her living, glamorously dressed throughout, in the woods surrounding the facility—and filming herself over the course of several days. She will be fully attired like a Marilyn Monroe-esque female icon, with a fresh manicure, makeup, evening wear, and high heels. She will carry out traditionally feminine activities, in addition to acts of survival and play, while living outdoors at Watermill. As she inhabits this striking incongruity—dressed up in artifice in a natural environment—Martin will reveal the absurdity of classic signifiers of glamorous femininity. This event is an opportunity to see Martin's work-in-progress, captured via video, to the general public.
