The Window of Opportunity (WOO) grant provides financial assistance of up to $1,500 to Leeway grant and award recipients to help them take advantage of imminent, time-sensitive opportunities to support their art for social change practice.

Nicole Bindler (WOO ‘26, ‘25, ‘24; ACG ‘15) presented "Sand in My Soda Pop, Part 2" at Movement Research at the Judson Church in New York City on April 27, 2026, performed with Ella-Gabriel Mason, Katherine Desimine, and Kate Seethaler, with outside-eye support from Skye Hughes and Chelsea Thaler. This new work revisited and expanded a dance originally created in 2003 in response to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, now reimagined in the context of ongoing global violence and Nicole’s continued engagement with anti-war and Palestine solidarity movements. Blending dance-theater, Butoh-influenced physicality, clown, and political performance, the work juxtaposed imagery of American leisure and pop culture with sonic and embodied traces of war, grief, and dissociation.

The WOO grant supported Nicole with the cost of props and costumes, as well as transportation and food expenses.

SPOTLIGHTS ARE BACK AT LEEWAY! 💖

This AAPI Heritage Month, we’re spotlighting writer, poet, and multidisciplinary artist Mir Masud-Elias @devianahit — whose work moves through migration, language, spirituality, climate, belonging, and the complicated truths of identity.

Born in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and shaped by Philadelphia, Mir reflects on living “in the in-between.” In her responses, she speaks powerfully about community that makes room for complexity, art as a practice of honesty rather than visibility alone, and the importance of creating work that remains loyal to the people who need it most.

From honoring ancestral histories and the women who created quietly before her, to exploring embodiment, migration, and ecological grief through poetry and installation, Mir reminds us that liberation is not about flattening ourselves into a single story — but becoming “free enough to be complicated.”

Judith Sachs (WOO ‘26, ‘25, ‘22, ‘17; ACG ‘15) will be presenting her program, "Date Night and Intimacy: Reconnecting Parkinson’s Couples and Dating Singles," at the World Parkinson Congress in Phoenix, AZ (May 23-27, 2026), a global gathering held every three years. Her work addresses the often overlooked emotional and relational impacts of Parkinson’s, offering creative, sensory-based approaches through movement, play, and guided interaction to help couples and individuals reconnect beyond the roles of “patient” and “carepartner.” At the Congress, Judith will share her research through a poster presentation, attend informative sessions, and build relationships with practitioners and community members interested in expanding her program. With a specific focus on reaching marginalized groups, including LGBTQ+ couples and those underserved by traditional care models, she will grow the reach of her practice and foster new pathways for intimacy, communication, and connection within the Parkinson’s community.

The WOO grant will support Judith with the World Parkinson Congress registration fee, airfare, accommodation costs, and presentation materials.

Jackie Soro (WOO ‘26; ACG ‘24) will premiere Girl Dolls: The American Musical, their first show as a lead artist, at @fringearts from May 8-17, 2026, presented by the @beardedladiescabaret in collaboration with @paxressler. Blending music, humor, cabaret-style audience participation, and autobiographical storytelling, the show reflects on childhood, identity, and belonging, using nostalgia for American Girl dolls to explore how race, gender, and class shape who is included in “American girlhood.” Rooted in Jackie’s decade-long art for social change practice, the work invites audiences into a shared space of reflection, joy, and critical questioning.

The WOO grant will support Jackie with professional video documentation of the performance, which will serve as an archival record of this deeply personal, queer, community-centered story.

Friendly Reminder PARADE PRACTICE Saturday May 2nd 4-6pm

Join us for the second installment of Parade Practice! As part of the @nextfab_phl x Leeway residency, @esholts is sharing Samba Foundation + Bloco Oya.

Bloco Oyá is rooted in African, Brazilian, and Caribbean traditions of rhythm and movement. Oyá, the orisha of wind and transformation reminds us that change happens through movement—and that transformation is a shared process.

💃🏾 Free to attend April 25th 4–6pm beginning at @nextfab_phl 1800 N. American Street!
🥁 Register to attend via the link in our bio or at https://luma.com/rws0xdp9

This Saturday we’re going deeper—tapping into the rhythms and energy of Bahamian Junkanoo as part of my ongoing research into African diaspora festival traditions.
Junkanoo isn’t just a parade—it’s resistance, identity, and community power in motion.

Through my NextFab Leeway residency, I’m sharing and teaching from this research and documentation—bringing Junkanoo’s sonic sound into conversation with the traditions we’re building here in Philadelphia. Kalik-Kalik 👏🏾

Angel Shanel Edwards’ (WOO ‘26, ‘24, ‘19; MAR ‘25; ACG ‘25, ‘18) first solo exhibition, Mirror is not a metaphor, an Arts League artist-in-residence project in West Philly ran from April 3-24, 2026, with a closing reception on April 24th. The exhibition explored Black intimacy, vanity, and witness as practices of collective futurity. The closing reception gathered community members, including Black elders, queer and trans kin, disabled community members, and fellow artists, for a shared experience of reflection, celebration, and connection with the work, while also emphasizing safe, accessible gathering practices. As both a culmination of Angel's residency and their first solo exhibition, this opportunity represented a pivotal moment in their artistic development, strengthening their portfolio and deepening their capacity to create and sustain community-centered exhibition spaces in the future.

The WOO grant supported Angel with professional photographic documentation of the exhibition, as well as supplies for the closing reception.
