Our Story

Death-Rebirth-Freedom Revelry is a multidisciplinary ARTS FESTIVAL aimed to promote Art as a vehicle to transcend and transform ourselves and the world around us. The Revelry will provide a unique artistic experience that blurs the line between audience and artist by creating an interactive space for free expression, deep reflection and conscious action. Inspired by the natural cycle of death-rebirth-freedom, each artist interprets the theme shaped by their beliefs and unique life experiences.

Presented by The Six Betweens Art Collective, the Revelry will feature Brooklyn’s rich artistic talent as well as a bevy of artists from the greater New York City area and abroad. This month-long festival will host 20+ events including spoken word, visual arts, mixed media, performing arts and workshops, and it will be held at several venues within and around the Park Slope, Brooklyn community. Starting October 1, 2011 at Tea Lounge, it will conclude 4 weeks later with a Halloween Art Extravaganza on October 29, 2011.

About the Presenting Organization:
Founded in New York City in 2008 by Artistic Director Rakel Terceño, The Six Betweens Art Collective is a cross-cultural, multidisciplinary artistic platform aimed to promote art as a tool to transcend and transform ourselves and the world in which we live. Drawn together by the shared belief that making art is healing in itself and essential to having a deeply human experience, the Collective creates opportunities for both artists and audiences to experience each artistic language as one for expression without boundaries through workshops, demonstrations and performances, all of which will be part of the Revelry.

The theme Death-Rebirth-Freedom and the collective’s name, The Six Betweens, were originally inspired by the Tibetan Buddhist Bardo teachings, which describe the transitory stages in the life-death-rebirth cycle, and contain incredible imagery and wisdom. Other influences, including individual artists' life experiences, have further shaped the Collective’s approach to the main theme, culminating into individual artistic expressions of these most universal themes.

 

The Impact

Death-Rebirth-Freedom REVELRY is a one-of-a-kind festival with a rare and ambitious vision. Conscious of the high impact that art—and the creative processes that drive it—has in shaping our world, the artists, partner organizations and REVELRY leadership believe that this project is a necessary step towards strengthening an ever-growing community of multidisciplinary artists who combine art-making with the healing arts, and develop creative tools for self-exploration and growth.

 

Additionally, we  are committed to offering high-quality visual and performing arts experiences that are accessible to all. Therefore, admission to festival performances is DONATION based and workshop fees will be nominal. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

 

We call upon lovers of art and culture to help support, inspire, encourage, sustain and REVEL in the creative energy and endeavors of our local, yet universal, artistic community. We invite you to help Present our unique Death-Rebirth-Freedom REVELRY in Brooklyn this October 2011—a transformational Arts Festival intended to be the first of many to come.
