Audiences will be given the option to write a note for each artist, sharing their experience of the work. This is a wonderful opportunity for artists to receive feedback about the impact of their work, and for audiences to feel into the impact of each piece. The mixture of pieces – from dance, to music, to theater, to visual art, to experimental art – makes for a fun, inspiring, and diverse evening.

In June we are thrilled to present a variety of experimental theater, comedy, aerial arts, improvisation, and dance, created and performed by local artists ⎯ Shailly Agnihotri, Jolly Joe Jester, MaiKSence, Bound Aerial Collective.

The Supremes

Book & Lyrics by: Shailly AgnihotriComposed by: James Bally

Performed By: Raphael Sacks, Alaina Margaret, Marion Avila, Bilal Walker

Description:

“The Supremes” is an 18-minute participatory musical that transforms audiences from witnesses into participants in America’s constitutional crisis. The piece follows Justice Sotomayor’s tribute to her mother’s sacrifice, public defender Lisa’s fight for justice, defendant Jones’s confrontation with audience complicity, and the institutional breakdown that occurs when a court bailiff escalates from surveillance to authoritarian control. Blending Latin ballads, blues, stride piano, and gospel anthems, the work uses America’s diverse musical traditions to examine how democratic institutions can fail while offering pathways to renewal through collective engagement. Created through collaborative development, the musical concludes with audiences invited to join “We The People,” literally practicing the shared democratic action the piece advocates. More than entertainment, “The Supremes” serves as an artistic call to civic participation, using the power of live musical theater to explore urgent questions about justice, complicity, and constitutional democracy while creating space for audiences to experience their own agency in democratic renewal.

Shailly Agnihotri brings thirty years of experience in America’s justice system as prosecutor, public defender, and professor at Georgetown Law Center and Southern University Law Center. She holds a J.D. (cum laude) from Tulane Law School, LL.M. from Georgetown Law Center, and certificate in filmmaking from The New School. Her work consistently explores themes of justice, restoration, and human transformation through peer-reviewed legal scholarship (“Reclaiming Restorative Justice,” 20 CUNY L. Rev. 323, 2017; “Orders of Protection & the Disappearance of Due Process,” ATTICUS, 2012), award-winning documentaries (Three Soldiers, The Bride Wears Red), published

fiction examining moral complexity (“Avoid Agony,” Queens Noir anthology, Akashic Books), and theatrical works developed through competitive programs (Mata Gee, Cosmic Dancer, Audrey residency). Her diverse portfolio demonstrates mastery of both analytical and narrative storytelling, developed through mentorship with acclaimed playwrights Bernard Kops and Emilio Williams.

As founder of The Restorative Center, she has trained thousands of attorneys, educators, and community leaders through conference presentations, workshops, and Continuing Legal Education programs in her circle-based methodology that transforms conflict into connection and retribution into restoration. Her integration of ancient wisdom practices with modern justice work informs her approach to theater as civic engagement and democratic participation.

James Bally is a pianist, singer, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist based in Brooklyn who earned a bachelor’s degree in Jazz Piano Performance from William Paterson University in 2024, studying with Bill Charlap, Mike LeDonne, and Dr. Carl Bolleia. He has performed at prestigious NYC jazz venues including Mezzrow, Brvsh Cul7ur3, Clement’s Place and Dizzy’s Club, and released his own music with Neptune and the Sailor and a self-produced solo album in 2025.

Jolly Joe Jester Saves the World

Performed by: Joseph Anthony Davis

Description:

Jolly Joe Jester is a Hudson Valley–based comedian, improviser, musician, and host blending clowning, storytelling, and live looping into joyful, unpredictable performances. Founder of Happenstancery, he has built a welcoming improv community since 2020, offering low-cost, inclusive workshops and shows across New Paltz and beyond. His work draws inspiration from boundary-pushers like Andy Kaufman and Reggie Watts, embracing sincerity, chaos, and connection. Whether hosting variety shows, teaching beginners, or performing as his alter ego Mad Jad, Jolly Joe invites audiences to play, laugh, and rediscover creativity. His mission is simple: bring people together, spread love, and maybe, just maybe, help save the world.

Off The Meaning of Art

Performed by: Mai Kfir Sabag

Description:

This is a multidisciplinary performance research combining movement, dance, theater, and voice, questioning what art is and what makes something art. Through improvisation and living presence, an honest inquiry unfolds into the space between personal expression and collective perception. Rather than offering a single answer, the piece reveals the experience of art as it emerges in the moment – through the body, e motion, and the encounter with the audience.

Mai Kfir Sabag is a multidisciplinary artist, yoga teacher, and dancer exploring the connection between body mind and consciousness through movement, voice and improvisation.Her work emerges from deep listening to the present moment, integrating influences from axis syllabus, body mind centering contact improvisation and theater.She creates spaces of honesty, e motion and presence- where the audience is invited to become part of a living, evolving process.Through the meeting of inner and outer, personal and collective, she seeks to dissolve definitions and rediscover a simple human connection. For her, art is a way to explore, to feel, and to create connection – with herself, with others, and with the world.

Overload

Performance by: Bound Aerial Collective

Performers: Patti Ennist, Hayley O’Donnell & Lydia Soueidan

Description:

Overload explores the contrast between overwhelm and stillness, tracing the quiet moments that surface within an overloaded mind. Rooted in the ground or suspended in the air, the movement reveals the beauty of rare, quiet moments of true peace.

Bound Aerial Collective, featuring aerialists Patti Ennist, Hayley O’Donnell, and Lydia Soueidan—is a performance project investigating the intersection of aerial arts, contemporary dance, and visual storytelling, exploring new ways of storytelling in the air and on the ground.

Performance Location

WildHeart is located on 46+ beautiful acres in the Hudson Valley at 183 East Road, Wallkill, NY. This event will take place in the Barn, the large building at the end of the driveway.

interludes & in.cantations: a concert of dreamy music
2026-06-20 19:30 - 21:00
The album in.cantations dives beneath the surface of the body, into subconscious dreams, inner landscapes, and hidden stories. On June 20th, the eve of the summer solstice, flutist Jane Rigler brings this music to the Hudson Valley, presenting tracks from the album as interludes woven between live premieres of her new compositions.

in.cantations was made in the summer of 2024 in Colorado Springs — spontaneous, improvised pieces created with guitarist Janet Feder. By the time the album was released in November 2025, Jane had moved more than a thousand miles away. Now, presented as a solo show, she weaves her sonic textures of dreams, imagination, and languages from long ago, inviting listeners to conjure their own inner stories. Come gather on the land at WildHeart and celebrate the light: one of the longest, brightest days of the year.

Option to stay overnight at WildHeart before or after – come early or stay late. Reach out to us at contact@wildheartcenter.art to confirm your stay.
