Hailing from Hempstead\, NY\, but now residing in Worcester\, MA\, Manipulator is a hip-hop DJ and producer who has steadily built up a solid repertoire of releases and live shows since 2012.Having first been drawn to hip-hop as an 8-year-old boy\, thanks to his older brother’s influence\, Manipulator first tried his hand at rapping\, graffiti and breaking\, before realizing his real passion resided with DJing and beat-making.Skip to 2002 and he acquired his first set of turntables\, with his first production setup following a year later\, and drawing on influences from artists such as J Dilla\, Madlib and The Alchemist\, Manipulator set about honing his skills in both disciplines. Having followed his natural desire to work with samples\, he also embarked on a lifelong crate digging obsession.Fast forward to now and that obsession has paid off\, with a stack of notable releases under his belt\, including two instrumental projects\, The Synth Tape and The Soviet Tape. The two releases provided an insight into Manipulator’s beat-making prowess and demonstrated the value of his sample hunting. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGibson Alcott\, professionally known as GIB DJ is a producer and composer and DJ from Allston\, MA.

SUMMARY:FableVision Presents: Day of Play!
DESCRIPTION:Boylston T Stop\, Boylston St & Tremont St\, Boston\, MA 02116 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Emerson UnCommon Stage and Harpoon Beer Garden Day of Play is a day of connection\, fun and in-person play at the Emerson UnCommon Stage and Harpoon Beer Garden\, located at the corner of Boylston and Tremont in the Boston Common.  The event is inspired by the Come Out and Play Festivals in New York\, San Francisco and Philadelphia.  \n\n\n\nEmerson students and local game designers have built six original\, in-person outdoor games related (albeit tangentially) to life in Boston to get Bostonians new and old excited about the new school year. Visitors will run\, hop\, have cut-throat games of friendship\, frantically throw beanbags\, utilize hula hoops\, ride in inflatable boats\, toss tea\, miss trains and hunt goblins. We welcome all students\, families\, and passers-by to drop in or spend all day with us at the UnCommon Stage and Harpoon Beer Garden between 12 and 5PM. Play\, be loud\, have fun and meet some new friends!  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDifficult Hop-Scotch\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGetting around Boston is easy! It’s just a hop\, skip and a jump away. Take the Red Line (unless it has slow zones). Or the Green Line (unless it’s disabled for track maintenance). Take the Orange Line (unless it’s on fire). Or you can just take the Blue Line and stay in Eastie forever. Four players play competitive\, simultaneous hopscotch on four T lines to try and be the first to make it home safely.  \n\n\n\nGame Designers:\n\n\n\nHabeebh Sylla\, Henry Kacik\, Evan Tsapatsaris\, Regan McKenzie \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmerson Troll Hunt\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSo you’re going to become a media student? Congratulations! You’d better get used to trolls early. Don’t worry\, we’ve got you covered. Start training to look for trolls hiding all around the Day of Play UnCommon Stage and Harpoon Beer Garden space. When you find one\, see what it has to say and assemble the message…but don’t think too hard about it\, they’re just trolls. After a while they even start to look sort of cute! \n\n\n\nGame Designers:\n\n\n\nZoe Deyermond\, Peyton Schweibert\, Zeang Fang\, Chris Fortin \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoston Tea Party\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoston is a city of history: the freedom trail\, the shot heard around the world and the infamous Boston tea party! Join us for this almost accurate reenactment of the Boston tea party where patriots feverishly try to throw tea bags into the harbor and tories feverishly try and throw them back out of the harbor. We’re pretty sure it happened like that. \n\n\n\nGame Designers:\n\n\n\nNicole Armbrecht\, Mikayla Lastowski\, Helen Bo\, Liwei Wang \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCompetitive Friendship\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s good to have new friends. But who’s the BEST friend? Will you win this friendship? And most importantly\, how do you prove to your new friends that you are the best at friendship? By playing Competitive Friendship of course! In this game you’ll have an intense two-player competition at simple “getting to know you” games. Whoever reaches their side of the board will be victorious. May the best friend win! \n\n\n\nGame Designers:\n\n\n\nSarina LoPresti\, Emma Millin\, Lang (Oscar) Qin \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCharles River Regatta Go\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Charles River divides Boston from Cambridge and on crisp Boston autumn mornings\, you can see collegiate rowers silently slicing their boat through the still water. Jealous? Don’t worry\, this in-person game will train you to be exactly like a professional crew member. First don your Personal Floatation Device and then step into the inflatable boat. Use two to four facsimile oars to row your boat along your digital Charles River. Just make sure you steer straight\, avoid obstacles and go as fast as possible! \n\n\n\nGame Designers:\n\n\n\nZiba Scott\, Ichiro Lambe\, Kellian Pletcher\, Luigi Guatieri and Members of the Boston Indie Games Collective \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMoving Day\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDid you know that ALL RENTAL LEASES in Boston begin on September 1st? If you don’t\,  you will someday when you join Boston Christmas:  the insane\, competitive\, speed-based packing puzzle that is Moving Day in Boston every September. By moving more boxes than you knew you had\, you’ll collaborate with your new roommates and also compete with your new roommates. You’ll laugh\, you’ll cry\, you’ll probably scream and hopefully\, eventually\, you’ll move into your new apartment. \n\n\n\nGame Designers:\n\n\n\nKellian Pletcher\, Marie Hubert and the Teams From FableVision Studios and Red Fox Escapes \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDJ Lineup\n\n\n\n\n12:30 – 2:30 PM: KNSZWRTH \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOriginally from Haiti\, KNSZWRTH (pronouns: he/him) first arrived in Boston for college in 2004. Kenny then cut his teeth at mission-driven organizations like the West End House Boys and Girls Club\, Cambridge Youth Programs\, the Cambridge Public Library and more recently\, Now + There\, before joining the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture as Chief of Staff. As a DJ\, therapeutic mentor\, film photographer\, board certified basketball referee\, and plant dad\, Kenny is passionate about connecting with communities and individuals that share a passion and excitement around conversations and experiences that open minds and help co-create spaces to celebrate the creative diversity of Boston’s dynamic and ever-changing cultural fabric.  \n\n\n\n\n3:00 – 5:00 PM: Little Kil0 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Hailing from Houston\, Texas\, I am Little Kil0. I’m latinx\, queer\, and I see my therapist weekly. I like good music and I’m pretty good with flags.”
