<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Since 2015, LayeRhythm, led by Mai Lê Hô, has
been presenting jam sessions – where musicians, dancers, and vocalists
contribute to NYC’s vibrant street and club dance cultures. These sessions of
artistic expression have been transforming individuals’ relationship to
music/dance while providing entertainment, building community, educating
audiences in cultural history, and supporting emotional and social well-being.</span></p>

two free public workshops at the theatre: A Freestyle Rhyming Workshop with
Osyris Antham at 2:00 pm and a House Dance Workshop with Mai Lê Hô at 4:00 PM. Osyris
Antham, a Brooklyn-bred rapper from Flatbush, started his artist life as a poet
and slowly grew into the hip hop world. Since jumping into the NY underground
scene at his first official rap contest in August 2013, he has won 40+
competitions. Mai Lê Hô is a French-Vietnamese street/club dance artist &
educator, and the founder of LayeRhythm Productions INC. She has performed in
over 70 venues across the USA and Europe and has won 1st place in various
international house dance competitions. Both workshops will be held at Bridge
Street Theatre, located at 44 West Bridge Street in Catskill. There is no cost,
but participants must pre-register in order to participate and space is
limited. To pre-register, email to <a href="mailto:contact@bridgest.org">contact@bridgest.org</a>.</span></p>
