Tin Ceiling Presents ... kicks off with a lively musical performance by saxophonist Tom Tallitsch and his jazz quartet. Tom has performed at a number of notable jazz clubs in and around NYC, Philadelphia and New Jersey. He has toured frequently across the United States as both a leader and a sideman. His compositions and arrangements have been performed by many other vocalists and musicians, as well as individual dancers from the Martha Graham Dance Company.

The series continues on Friday, April 18, with the premiere of "Turpentine," a short film by Elijah Amant, along with screenings of two award-winning short films: "Spring's County Psycho" by Christopher Stern and the critically acclaimed animated short "Teeth" by Tom Brown and Daniel Gray. Following the screenings, Elijah and crew will discuss filmmaking and cinematography techniques. Please be advised that these films are for mature audiences only and contain material that some may find disturbing.

The Spring 2020 lineup concludes on Saturday, June 27, with rhythm artist Jin Won. Won, an accomplished kathak dancer and tabla player from South Korea, spent more than 15 years in India training in Indian classical percussion and dance under Pandit Divyang Vakil and Shrimati Shubha Desai, respectively. Won's work explores rhythm as a unifier across cultural expressions.

Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door for $10 per person (general admission) or $8 per person for West Windsor Arts Council members. Proceeds from the event will support the West Windsor Arts Council's education programs and multidisciplinary arts programming.
