Nathan Trice is the founder and artistic director of nathantrice / RITUALS Dance. Theater. Music, based in Brooklyn NY since 1998. His mission is to present artistic educational programs and performances that reflect the importance of empathy, compassion and understanding for one another, in the pursuit of global humanism. The company has been in-residence at Brooklyn’s Billie Holiday Theater for 17 years.
Trice will be sharing work from three of his most significant projects:
His Recognizing Women Project will share an excerpt from “Alchemist In The Garden,” a work inspired by ongoing discussions with groups of fathers on raising their daughters.
Strange Love: EPISODES will share work inspired by ongoing community discussions on the internal and external look of Courtship, Intimacy & Love.
A.I.D.: The Future, a mentorship program, will show work from six Millennials & Gen Z participants that share their contemplative perspectives on what connects our humanity to our spirituality.
Each work is developed through ongoing discussions with local community and professionals that aim to foster exposure, access and inclusion to art making, as a way to understand our most common humanistic values.
nathan trice / RITUALS creative and community engagement work is supported by funds from the Billie Holiday Theaters resident choreographers fund.
Snug Harbor arts programming is made possible through generous support from the Samuel I. Newhouse Foundation, Howard Gilman Foundation, New York State Council on the Arts, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

Mulching with compost allows for moisture conservation by slowing evaporation and increasing the organic matter that can hold water. Mulching also keeps temperatures more even, protecting your tree’s roots as we move through the seasons. As the compost mulch decomposes, it improves soil fertility and structure. The nutrition in the compost releases slowly, giving roots delicious food through the season. Of course, mulch also helps reduce unwanted plant growth around the base of the tree, reducing competition for that nutritious soil.
This is a great event for all ages and abilities! We encourage every volunteer to bring your food scraps to our food scrap drop-off, so we can make more compost. Prepare to take home some compost to mulch your own trees.
The NYC Compost Project, created by the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) in 1993, works to reduce waste in NYC and rebuild NYC’s soil by providing New Yorkers with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities they need to produce and use compost locally. NYC Compost Project programs and staff are funded and managed through the DSNY Bureau of Recycling and Sustainability (BRS) in partnership with host institutions.
This program is made possible with funding provided by the New York City Council through A Greener NYC, a program of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. Snug Harbor thanks the Staten Island City Council Delegation for their generous allocations. This program is also funded by the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute.
