Small Scale Pet Sculptures with Jill Bell
Dumbo Ceramics · 30 John street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
Celebrate the pet who has left paw prints on your heart by creating a small-scale ceramic sculpture inspired by your favorite furry, feathered, or scaly companion. Whether you’re honoring a beloved pet you’ve lost or capturing the personality of one who’s still by your side, you’ll learn simple handbuilding techniques while exploring texture, form, and expressive details in clay. During the workshop, you’ll sculpt and decorate your piece with colorful underglazes before it’s professionally fired and glazed. Your finished sculpture will be ready for pickup approximately 3–4 weeks later, a lasting keepsake to treasure for years to come. All levels of clay experiences are welcomed.
Come celebrate 2 years of The K9 Butcher! Fall in love with a new friend — True North Rescue will be joining with adoptable pups looking for their forever homes!

Hear a play & original EDM Score. Watch the story unfold via dance from site to site on the streets of DUMBO. Inspired by Arthur Schnitzler’s La Ronde, THE CIRCUIT reimagines the classic cycle of intimate encounters as a pulse-driven, fully immersive silent disco ballet. Produced by New York Theatre Company, this bold new work fuses dance, theatre, and nightlife into a visceral experience that is intimate, fluid, and unapologetically provocative. Upon arrival, audience members receive wireless headphones. Through them, the entire world of the show unfolds — a fully realised play and an original EDM score transmitted directly into your ears. You hear whispered dialogue, internal monologues, ambient sound, and a live-mixed soundscape with cinematic clarity. Nothing is projected outward. No voices fill the room. Every confession, every breath, every thought feels as though it’s meant for you alone. And yet, what you see is something entirely different. While you are hearing a play and an original score, you are watching dance unfold in real time — on the streets of DUMBO. As you follow characters from site to site outdoors, choreography erupts against the backdrop of cobblestone streets, alleyways, storefronts, and the Manhattan Bridge skyline. Language lives in your headphones; physicality lives in the city around you. The result is a thrilling dual experience: an intimate narrative in your ears and a visceral ballet unfolding live in the open air. There is no traditional stage. No fixed seat. You move with the performers through the neighbourhood, tracing a looping chain of desire and consequence — seduction, power, vulnerability, violence, longing, and collapse. Each audience member curates their own journey, shaped by who they follow, where they linger, and which moments they choose to witness. The experience is both collective and deeply personal. Though everyone inhabits the same world, no two paths are identical. The constant electronic pulse creates an emotional throughline, transforming even stillness into something electric and cinematic. Co-directed by Josh Zacher and John Kroft, choreographed by Josh Zacher, written by Connor Wentworth, and with an original score and sound design by Jacob Ryan Smith, with associate sound design by Anna Tobin, THE CIRCUIT dissolves the boundary between spectator and participant. This is not just a performance — it’s a charged, sensory loop of sex, rhythm, and reckoning set against the heartbeat of Brooklyn itself.

Book Launch: Traumatized by Catherine Liu in conversation with Claire Stapleton
The Powerhouse Arena · 28 Adams Street (Corner of Adams & Water Street across from the Archway), Brooklyn, 11201
About the Book. How trauma became a weapon in the culture wars, by the acclaimed author of Virtue Hoarders What happens when an idea born of genuine suffering is weaponized as a tool of social control? Traumatized is the story of how shell shock became PTSD, how Oprah turned pain into profit, and how “authenticity” became the ultimate brand. It is a history of surveillance capitalism’s greatest coup: convincing us that wounds define us and that accommodating each other’s trauma is more important than challenging the powerful. Catherine Liu delivers an unflinching diagnosis of our current crisis, rooted as it is in the collapse of liberal politics, the ascendance of performance fragility, and the rise of emotional display as a surrogate for political action. Sharp, provocative, and urgently necessary, Traumatized argues that we must reject a politics of permanent victimhood since it destroys solidarity and leaves us defenseless against the systems that cause real harm.

A darkly funny, brutally honest, and riotous journey through the absurdities and ethical minefields of the international adoption industry, Too Fat for China follows Phoebe Potts, comic storyteller and professional Jew, as she tries, fails and eventually succeeds to adopt a baby. After a US adoption goes horribly wrong, Potts finds herself surprised, disgusted and ultimately resigned to the role she plays as a middle-class white lady in the business of adopting babies in the U.S. and internationally. Potts’ tragicomic journey is about looking for more love, more life and more family and will do anything to get it, including having her morals and values fold in on themselves.

Healing & Retreats · 69 Jay St, Brooklyn, NY 11201
Naomi Shu is excited to explore and share the insights that she has gained through her Quantum Healing Hypnosis practice—work that has deeply accelerated her own spiritual growth. Because all the memories and wisdom are held in the subconscious, she has uncovered the deeper meaning of life, who we truly are, why we’re here, and the underlying truth behind many of our mental and physical challenges, such as depression and anxiety. Naomi has learned many of the universe’s deeper mysteries while working with clients, witnessing perspectives and experiences that most people rarely have access to. Naomi is looking forward to sharing these understandings with the world, helping others see themselves and the universe through broader, higher perspectives. Every challenge we encounter is something we’ve chosen in order to grow through it. The essence of the soul is to learn, expand, and evolve—and when we align with that purpose, peace and joy naturally follow. Finally, have fun making new friends!

About the Book. A forest almanac for our time, rooted in a full year observing a rural woodland and its birds. Tapper’s groundbreaking first book How to Love a Forest offered a pragmatic and hopeful vision for our relationship with forests and other ecosystems. His new book, The Forest Year, lives inside the practice of staying, caretaking, and paying attention. Following the author’s forest through a year of life, the book explores flowers, birds, forest ecology, biodiversity, while also reflecting on stewardship, community, and what it means to be rooted in place. The Forest Year is a meditative and lyrical ode to the land, weaving complex scientific and ecological concepts with beautiful narrative prose, making nuanced ideas easy to understand and deeply resonant. Both place-based and practice-driven, Tapper writes not as an armchair philosopher or an academic, but as a working forester and ecologist stewarding real forests in real time, blending emotional insight with ecological rigor. A moving account of what it means to persist in the face of change and to love a place through work, compromise, sacrifice, and humility, this book will inspire readers to think deeply about where they live and who they are.
Portrait Madame Studio · 53 Bridge Street, Brooklyn, 11201
The Dumbo Book Club is a relaxed, in person monthly (every last Wednesday evening) gathering for people who love good books and good conversations. We keep it intentionally small so conversations stay real. Each month we read one book and meet somewhere in Dumbo — the home base is Portrait Madame Studio space, but we also host it in different locations in Dumbo. Each month we alternate between: – Fiction / novels – Personal development, business, or life books So some months we escape into a story — other months we talk about ideas, ambition, work, and how we want to live. HOW BOOKS ARE CHOSEN We choose books through a monthly vote, and after you attend your first meeting, you’re welcome to vote! Try to read the entire book before book club, or be prepared to hear spoilers about the ending. TO JOIN, FILL IN THE APPLICATION FORM AVAILABLE THROUGH THIS EVENT WEBSITE LINK Or reach Alice, the host, at [email protected]

About the Book. A bold look at the unexpected ways porn shapes our lives, with a feminist defense, drawn from Erika Lust’s decades in adult filmmaking, that argues for a more ethical porn that can transform sexual politics For more than two decades, Erika Lust has been pushing back against shame and stereotypes, building a new kind of adult cinema―one that is feminist, ethical, and deeply human. In Lust: Pleasure, Performance, Power, she tells the story of how a shy “good girl” from Sweden came to create one of the most talked-about studios in the world. She takes us behind the scenes of her films, where every detail matters: the casting, the consent talks, the way a set can feel safe, playful, and alive. We meet performers who are treated as collaborators, not objects, and glimpse the passion and chaos of making art about sex. Lust makes the provocative argument that porn is not the root of society’s problems but a mirror of them. Instead of scapegoating it and missing the chance to address those problems, Erika offers pragmatic solutions for how we can develop and improve the industry. She rejects censorship and moral-panic legislation, which history shows only makes things worse, and instead points to the power of telling more complex, nuanced stories of sex and gender. While sharing openly about her experience as a director, Erika argues that pleasure is not shameful or frivolous but a basic right, and that questions of sexuality and representation are inseparable from our broader culture and politics. Raw, passionate, and inspiring, Lust is a manifesto for anyone who has ever felt ashamed of desire, as well as a reminder that telling the truth about sex can change the world.

Hear a play & original EDM Score. Watch the story unfold via dance from site to site on the streets of DUMBO. Inspired by Arthur Schnitzler’s La Ronde, THE CIRCUIT reimagines the classic cycle of intimate encounters as a pulse-driven, fully immersive silent disco ballet. Produced by New York Theatre Company, this bold new work fuses dance, theatre, and nightlife into a visceral experience that is intimate, fluid, and unapologetically provocative. Upon arrival, audience members receive wireless headphones. Through them, the entire world of the show unfolds — a fully realised play and an original EDM score transmitted directly into your ears. You hear whispered dialogue, internal monologues, ambient sound, and a live-mixed soundscape with cinematic clarity. Nothing is projected outward. No voices fill the room. Every confession, every breath, every thought feels as though it’s meant for you alone. And yet, what you see is something entirely different. While you are hearing a play and an original score, you are watching dance unfold in real time — on the streets of DUMBO. As you follow characters from site to site outdoors, choreography erupts against the backdrop of cobblestone streets, alleyways, storefronts, and the Manhattan Bridge skyline. Language lives in your headphones; physicality lives in the city around you. The result is a thrilling dual experience: an intimate narrative in your ears and a visceral ballet unfolding live in the open air. There is no traditional stage. No fixed seat. You move with the performers through the neighbourhood, tracing a looping chain of desire and consequence — seduction, power, vulnerability, violence, longing, and collapse. Each audience member curates their own journey, shaped by who they follow, where they linger, and which moments they choose to witness. The experience is both collective and deeply personal. Though everyone inhabits the same world, no two paths are identical. The constant electronic pulse creates an emotional throughline, transforming even stillness into something electric and cinematic. Co-directed by Josh Zacher and John Kroft, choreographed by Josh Zacher, written by Connor Wentworth, and with an original score and sound design by Jacob Ryan Smith, with associate sound design by Anna Tobin, THE CIRCUIT dissolves the boundary between spectator and participant. This is not just a performance — it’s a charged, sensory loop of sex, rhythm, and reckoning set against the heartbeat of Brooklyn itself.

About the Book. Her touch kills, his saves the dying. Are they fated, or forbidden? Tempest Dunlap loves romance novels, but she knows she’ll never have her own happily-ever-after. She is a sweatpants-wearing doula who homeschools her seven-year-old niece in suburban New Jersey. Unfortunately, she’s also a succubus: Every man she’s ever kissed has died. But Tempest is a good person who never intended to be a murderer, so she’s sworn off love forever. Then she meets Joel Tav, a gorgeous, gentle doctor who makes celibacy feel impossible. Tempest knows she can’t touch him—or tell him his brother was the last man she dated and accidentally killed. Meanwhile, a vigilante is hunting people with dark powers, and Tempest is next. Should she keep hiding in her safe, lonely life, or should she embrace the darkness she fears and risk the ultimate forbidden romance? Maybe Tempest will get her love story after all . . . or maybe she’ll become its villain.

About the Book. Lighten your mental load and end mom burnout for good with a new kind of parenting book that teaches your kids to notice what needs to be done at home—and do it—without waiting to be asked. You’re sick of the constant push-and-pull to get your kids to clean (which, let’s be real, often ends up with you doing it yourself). With Notice and Do, there’s a new way. Through accessible but revolutionary techniques, parenting coach Sam Kelly will teach you how to empower your entire family to share the mental load and proactively contribute at home with eight black and white illustrations and 14 photos. This proven, research-backed method breaks the cycle of burnout and inequitable partnerships, liberating moms from the burden of being the engine that keeps everything running, and sets your kids up to be self-motivated, resilient adults. With Notice and Do, you will learn: the easy and effective way to teach kids cleaning skills so they can confidently get stuff done on their own how to teach kids to notice what needs to be done, for themselves, as the first step to taking initiative age-specific scripts to get buy-in and action from toddlers-teens (even the resistant ones!) how to show your daughters that shouldering the mental load is not their default setting how to show your sons that they are just as capable of being an aware, proactive team player at home ways to work with kids with ADHD and teenagers without yelling, bribes, or constant micromanaging getting your partner on board so everyone in the family is participating in the invisible labor of managing the home Say goodbye to the one-mom-show and exhausting chore chart battles and hello to a life-changing whole family team who shares the mental load together and works with you, instead of one that works because of you.

Naomi Shu is excited to explore and share the insights that she has gained through her Quantum Healing Hypnosis practice—work that has deeply accelerated her own spiritual growth. Because all the memories and wisdom are held in the subconscious, she has uncovered the deeper meaning of life, who we truly are, why we’re here, and the underlying truth behind many of our mental and physical challenges, such as depression and anxiety. Naomi has learned many of the universe’s deeper mysteries while working with clients, witnessing perspectives and experiences that most people rarely have access to. Naomi is looking forward to sharing these understandings with the world, helping others see themselves and the universe through broader, higher perspectives. Every challenge we encounter is something we’ve chosen in order to grow through it. The essence of the soul is to learn, expand, and evolve—and when we align with that purpose, peace and joy naturally follow. Finally, have fun making new friends!

Book Launch: Butter Road by Jaclyn Gilbert in conversation with Adrian Shirk
The Powerhouse Arena · 28 Adams Street (Corner of Adams & Water Street across from the Archway), Brooklyn, 11201
About the Book. A searing novel about a community irrevocably transformed by gun violence. In 2006, a gunman entered a one-room Amish schoolhouse in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, taking the students hostage and shooting ten girls before turning his weapon on himself. Set twelve years after this event, largely in the village of Nickel Mines, Butter Road explores the long-reaching ramifications of tragedy through the imagined lives of three women: Emma Walsh, an eighteen-year-old survivor of the shooting; her mother, Ruth, who lost her eldest daughter to the violence; and Sara Caldwell, an “English” outsider and wife of a doctor researching genetic disorders in the Amish population. At the novel’s outset, Sara enlists young Emma for housework and gardening to help the Walshes alleviate the debt they’ve accumulated caring for Emma’s disabled brother, who has the rare condition Sara’s husband is studying. Over the course of several months, Sara and Emma form a bond, and as Emma explores Sara’s library, she begins writing fragments of memory on the backs of old feed calendars—a process that leads her to grapple with the devastating deaths of her sister and friends, and the insularity of Amish forgiveness. The more Emma writes, the more she questions her upbringing and ingrained beliefs, ultimately seeing her relationship to Isaac Ames, the man she is destined to marry, in a new light. The story culminates with the characters making breathtaking, self-searching decisions that alter the lives of others as well as their own. Emotionally acute and lyrically spare, Butter Road centers on living with what we can’t control, on understanding trauma and collective grief, and on following one’s heart.

Each month we alternate between: – Fiction / novels – Personal development, business, or life books So some months we escape into a story — other months we talk about ideas, ambition, work, and how we want to live.

Hear a play & original EDM Score. Watch the story unfold via dance from site to site on the streets of DUMBO. Inspired by Arthur Schnitzler’s La Ronde, THE CIRCUIT reimagines the classic cycle of intimate encounters as a pulse-driven, fully immersive silent disco ballet. Produced by New York Theatre Company, this bold new work fuses dance, theatre, and nightlife into a visceral experience that is intimate, fluid, and unapologetically provocative. Upon arrival, audience members receive wireless headphones. Through them, the entire world of the show unfolds — a fully realised play and an original EDM score transmitted directly into your ears. You hear whispered dialogue, internal monologues, ambient sound, and a live-mixed soundscape with cinematic clarity. Nothing is projected outward. No voices fill the room. Every confession, every breath, every thought feels as though it’s meant for you alone. And yet, what you see is something entirely different. While you are hearing a play and an original score, you are watching dance unfold in real time — on the streets of DUMBO. As you follow characters from site to site outdoors, choreography erupts against the backdrop of cobblestone streets, alleyways, storefronts, and the Manhattan Bridge skyline. Language lives in your headphones; physicality lives in the city around you. The result is a thrilling dual experience: an intimate narrative in your ears and a visceral ballet unfolding live in the open air. There is no traditional stage. No fixed seat. You move with the performers through the neighbourhood, tracing a looping chain of desire and consequence — seduction, power, vulnerability, violence, longing, and collapse. Each audience member curates their own journey, shaped by who they follow, where they linger, and which moments they choose to witness. The experience is both collective and deeply personal. Though everyone inhabits the same world, no two paths are identical. The constant electronic pulse creates an emotional throughline, transforming even stillness into something electric and cinematic. Co-directed by Josh Zacher and John Kroft, choreographed by Josh Zacher, written by Connor Wentworth, and with an original score and sound design by Jacob Ryan Smith, with associate sound design by Anna Tobin, THE CIRCUIT dissolves the boundary between spectator and participant. This is not just a performance — it’s a charged, sensory loop of sex, rhythm, and reckoning set against the heartbeat of Brooklyn itself.
