Bronx Artist
Residence
Story Launches
in Soundview
BY STEVEN GOODSTEIN
Soundview has a new performing arts hub — thanks in large part to an innovative
performing arts educator.
The Bronx Artist Residency, a 3,000 square-foot outdoor performing arts
space, located at 1434 Harrod Avenue, offi cially opened at the beginning of the
year.
The space houses six dancers, who both work and live in the building for
three months at a time during the year.
On Saturday, April 17, the Bronx Artist Residency program co-hosted an outdoor
fi lm festival along with the residents at Bronx River Community Center.
The virtual fi lm festival showcase featured visual works by Ariel Pang, Aspen
Nell, Helen Samuel and Kiara Benejan-Curry, among others.
The Bronx Artist Residency program was created by Pizarts’ executive director
and founder Dominique Robinson.
“Unfortunately, we (Pizarts) had to cancel all of our travel programs because
of the pandemic, but the silver living was that it gave me the time to look at what
was in front and me and focus on more domestic projects - such as the Bronx Artist
Residency,” Robinson said.
Robinson, who earned a Master of Arts in Dance Education from NYU,
started Pizarts in 2013 in attempts to provide dancers with affordable space for
rentals and classes as well as international performances and workshops.
She is also the founder and director of operations for Dance Gap Year, another
program within Pizarts that helps assist teenagers who are pursuing a
career in the performing arts.
“Our aim is to bring artists from outside the Bronx to collaborate with local
artists,” Robinson added. “These amazing performers create dance fi lms
and photo shoots that highlight the beautiful landscapes and people here in the
Bronx.”
