On January 15, 2011, Marsi Burns presented an improvisational performance responding with dance and movement to feelings evoked by Joyce Ellen Weinstein's "Denial" art at the Ceres Gallery in Chelsea, NYC

Marsi Burns is a performing artist specializing in improvisations. Ms. Burns is sometimes known as "MARSI In The MOMENT" or "Marsi Burns Dancing In The MOMENT". On January 15, she responded with movement to the "Denial" art of Joyce Ellen Weinstein, accompanied by world jazz flutist, Mark Weinstein.

Artist Joyce Ellen Weinstein has created an extensive and varied body of work. Her "Denial" prints were exhibited in January 2011 at the Ceres Gallery.

Discussing her "Denial" prints, Ms. Weinstein said, "During a residency at Europos Parkas Open Air Museum of the Center of Europe in Vilnius, Lithuania, I observed a group of employees from a local furniture factory practicing trusting and bonding exercises. Some people were blindfolded and others walked on tight ropes attached high up on the trees. I took many photographs documenting this activity. Later when I looked at the photos, I found the imagery very startling, intriguing, mysterious and ominous, lending them to interpretations related to the human condition. I reinterpreted these images into the series of silk screen/linoleum block prints I call Denial"

Jazz flutist Mark Weinstein plays World Jazz and Straight-Ahead with world-class musicians rooted in Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, African, Jewish and Indian traditions. A Latin Jazz innovator, Mark was among the first jazz musicians to record with traditional Cuban rhythm sections.
