Galen Bremer and Zoe Rabinowitz have been collaborating since 2013. Their work investigates relationships between the body, sound, physical objects, and the spaces they inhabit through site-specific performance, concert dance, film/media, and technology in order to deepen the awareness between audience, performer, and environment. Their work has been presented throughout NYC, regionally and in Austria, Bulgaria, Mexico and South Korea. Together they have been awarded residencies at Marble House (VT), Lake House Studios (Berlin) and Judson Church (NYC), and funding from the Manhattan Community Arts Fund (2015) and Brooklyn Arts Council (2021).
Zoe Rabinowitz (she/her) is an independent dance artist and educator based in Brooklyn, as well as a yoga instructor and Executive Director/Performer with Yaa Samar! Dance Theatre (NYC/Palestine).

Galen Bremer (he/him) is a Brooklyn-based composer, producer, and multimedia artist. His artwork uses noise, synthesis, and listening to explore elements of performance art and technology. He frequently collaborates with choreographers and filmmakers to create films, new media works, and compositions seen+heard at multiple venues in NYC and abroad. Galen is currently an MFA candidate in the Media Scoring program at the Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema. galenbremer.com
Mary McGrath (she/her) was born and raised in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts where she ran free in the woods often. From a young age, Mary held a deep curiosity and awe for dance and movement expression which eventually led her to receive her Bachelors of Fine Arts in Dance from SUNY Purchase. Mary spends her days teaching a rambunctious and joyful class of two year olds at wBees Forest school, a nature based Montessori program in Ridgewood, Queens.
Connor Sale (he/him) is a New York based lighting designer. Recent design credits include Fire in the Head (Crossing The Line Festival), Queen of the Night (Victory Gardens), Sea Change (Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago), House of the Exquisite Corpse (Rough House Theater), Alexithymia (Third Mask Festival), and Above the Water (Third Mask Festival). He is incredibly interested in the organic way that light moves, especially the way that light affects movement and the way that movement affects light. He enjoys absurd ballet, chandeliers that suspiciously sway, and low maintenance house plants that look nice. More of his work can be found at connorsale.com
Anna Wotring (she/her), Pittsburgh native, is a community minded dance artist, designer and production stage manager committed to the practice of collaborative leadership. She currently works with Annie Heath, Lauren Horn, Jennifer Nugent and slowdanger as a technical design consultant, dancer, and production stage manager. Wotring obtained her BFA in Dance, at the Five College Dance Department in Western Massachusetts. She has had the privilege of working with a multitude of dance organizations, including Alvin Ailey Studios, Attack Theater, Ballet Des Ameriques, BalletNext, Bill T Jones/Arnie Zane Company, the Dance Conservatory of Pittsburgh, Dance Place, H2O Contemporary Dance, Monica Bill Barnes and Company, New York Live Arts, the Pillow Project, Prayers of the People, RoseAnne Spradlin, Scapegoat Garden, Time Lapse Dance, and many others. Wotring is beyond excited to begin working and imagining with the Trisk team. @annaissupercool
This work would not be possible without the contributions of an untold number of conversations, walks through the woods and along shorelines, and inspiration from this incredible planet, to which we owe an endless debt of gratitude; in particular the Cape Cod National Seashore in Wellfleet, MA, Champlain Valley, Vermont, and Newtown Creek in Brooklyn, NY. Likewise we have been gifted beyond measure by our parents Lynn Yarrington and Michael Mode, Nancy and Brad Rabinowitz, and Mari Normyle and Michael Bremer. Special thanks to Mary McGrath for going above and beyond, Marya Ursin and the Dragon’s Egg Residency, Jonathan Zalben, Samar Haddad King, as well as Rachel Mckinstry, Hannah Wendel and Anna Wotring.
This is How We Remember is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC).
Trisk Presents is brought to you in part by:
We respectfully acknowledge that the work of Triskelion Arts is situated on the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of Lenapehoking, the homeland of the Lenape peoples. We pay our respects to their land, water, and ancestors, past, present, and future. This acknowledgment demonstrates a commitment to the process of working to dismantle the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism and to learning to be better stewards of this land.
