Sticky Stars and Sheets: A Spoken Word Play
Friday, May 15. 8 - 9:15 pm
Club Car, 12 W. North Ave, Baltimore, MD 21202
Regie Cabico takes on queerphobia in the classrooms and the dive bars with poetic lyricism and self-effacing humor, and resilience. Cabico presents his signature performance of poetry and stories of Asian appropriation and the daily triggers he confronts from a multiverse that gets smaller stepping out of a pandemic and surviving dive bars, bathhouses, teen stalkers, as he tries to get his groove back.

This past Saturday, as part of our day-long poetry program presented in conjunction with the DC Finals of Poetry Out Loud, CAH was pleased to once again host Words on Fire, an exciting open mic event for DCPS students in grades 8 - 12 to share their voices and perform their original poetry.
We are grateful to our teaching artists, especially Charles Barnes and Dr. Patrise Holden, for encouraging our youth participants to actively participate and share their creativity at this event, as well as our program emcees, Dior Ashley Brown and Regie Cabico, for ensuring a smooth transition of energy in between each of the various student performances that afternoon!

KUMPUL — Kuntau–Silat
with Jacob Walse-Dominguez (he/they)
Kuntau–Silat is a shared traditional movement practice found across Maritime Southeast Asia: the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Shaped by migration, trade, and everyday life, these practices were used for self-protection, communal celebrations, and embodied training, and are closely tied to music, rhythm, and social gathering.
Kumpul is a afternoon workshop introducing Kuntau–Silat through guided movement, footwork, partner-based exercises, and improvisation alongside traditional music from these cultures. Kumpul is a shared word across these regions meaning “to gather.”
In this spirit, the session draws from practices found across different areas, emphasizing shared movement principles rather than a single fixed style. Participants will explore balance, coordination, rhythm, and timing, and how these movements shift between everyday, social, and ceremonial contexts.
The workshop is designed to be accessible to first-timers and people with varying movement backgrounds. Emphasis is placed on listening to the body, adapting movements to individual ability, and building confidence through repetition and exploration—supporting self-trust, presence, and a grounded sense of agency.
This workshop is part of Moving Rasa, a 7-week interdisciplinary practice lab.
🗓 Jan 25 – March 8

What if your relationship to practice began with flavor, not form?
Moving Rasa is a 7-week interdisciplinary practice lab exploring rasa: the Indonesian term for the intuitive, felt quality that moves through body, word, making, and being. The flavor of our presence.
Through movement, food, conversation, shared inquiry, and material practices, we gather to notice what animates us, to savor how we can work with our own depths with honesty.
Faculty for this season are: Andrew Suseno - @movingrasa , Jacob Dominguez @riverandcaiman , Kimberly Tate @architate , Miranti Kisdarjono @thejoyoffeasting and Regie Cabico @regieguy
Open to beginners and experienced practitioners across disciplines. No single lineage required. Curiosity, care, and commitment welcome.
🗓 Sundays 2-5pm (Jan 25 – March 8), @ Prime Produce, 424 W 54th St, New York, NY 10019

A Gathering of the Tribes Presents Ghost Towns, an evening of poetry and performance curated by Tribes’ beloved international artist-in-residence Eva H.D. (poet, playwright, filmmaker) and features works by Diana Goetsch (poet, memoirist), Charlie Kaufman (writer, director), Tom Cole (writer, performance artist), Ariana Reines (poet, playwright, performance artist, translator) and Samantha Sea Sea (performance artist).
Ghost Towns—a gesture to the various iterations of our cities that we carry, their complicated histories, the shadows and wreckage they leave behind. The wreckage that becomes the infrastructure we ourselves haunt on our way to the next erasure. A toast to the ghosts that layer under and over the metropolis that embraces and / or abandons us today.
