The Arts in New York City

On Wednesday we will be going to see “The Violin” at Film Forum. The ticket will cost you $5.50 (this is a discounted rate). The film is in Spanish with English subtitles. There is some violence, especially at the beginning.

Arrive at 2:45pm.

Film Forum is in Soho, 209 West Houston Street, New York, NY 10014, between 6th Avenue and Varick (7th Avenue). Click here for a map, directions, and subway info.

If you’re coming from Baruch I recommend you walk over to 23 St. and 6th Ave. and take the F/V to West 4th St. Exit at the front of the train and walk downtown on 6th Ave. to Houston St. Take a right on Houston and Film Forum is halfway down the block.

So nobody has come forward with any ideas for our final two classes. Sad.

To get the ball rolling, here are some things I would like to see or do with you…

Meet at the Public Theater, 425 Lafayette Street (between Astor Pl. and E. 4th St.), ABSOLUTELY NO LATER THAN 6:45pm.

Hopefully your recent experience of writing a brief piece for an audience gave you some fresh insight into theater, language, and performance. Still I can’t guarantee that this event won’t leave you scratching your head a bit so if you’re interested, here is some info to consult:

• information on the play cycle
• a radio story regarding the plays and the playwright
• the ‘play of the day’ from the play cycle
• a brief article about the play cycle from the NYTimes.
• a long but very engaging profile about the playwright by the critic Hilton Als, from the New Yorker.

You might enjoy this article from the NY Times.

For information regarding the performances discussed in the article see this link.

PS For my part I have enjoyed remembering your spoken-word pieces for the past day.
