Discussion | “The Class Act”: A Tap Dancing Icon


Tap historian, teacher and performer Ann Killkelly gives a presentation and leads a discussion on the "Class Act," an icon in the tap world that conjures up great tap duos like Coles and Atkins, elegant presentation, and rhythmic sophistication. The idea of class also brings up status and legitimacy, and connects to the development of tap from social and popular origins, street corners and dance halls into more formal concert presentation. Class is also the place where many, maybe most, tap dancers today learn the form. How do these two ideas about "class" connect, and what do they mean to dancers then and now? How do we learn tap? Why do we go to class? How are "class" and "the class act" important ideas in tap performance and choreography? Enjoy film clips from tap history that "send up" the idea of class in choreography and imagery and join in on a conversation about how choreographers, performers, teachers, and students think of themselves as "classy," "classed," and/or "classic."

Slide Lecture | Richard Wiese reads from his book Born to Explore: How to Be a Backyard Adventurer


Living an active, outdoor, nature0filled life in NYC is challenging but certainly not impossible. This illustrated lecture will introduce many aspects of outdoor living that most New Yorkers might not notice such as fossil hunting, navigating with stars, predicting the weather from nature, building a radio that does not require electricity and even how to make coffee from a bean that grows in Central Park. The message is not simply about spending more time outdoors. It is also about the act of doing, being creative, civic mindedness and learning skills that will make you become an interesting and more evolved person.

Author Reading | Ron Currie, Jr. reads from his book Every Thing Matters!


In infancy, Junior Thibodeaux is encoded with a prophesy: a comet will obliterate life on Earth in thirty-six years. Alone in this knowledge, he comes of age in rural Maine grappling with the question: Does anything I do matter? While the voice that has accompanied him since conception appraises his choices, Junior’s loved ones emerge with parallel stories—his anxious mother; his brother, a cocaine addict turned pro-baseball phenomenon; his exalted father, whose own mortality summons Junior’s best and worst instincts; and Amy, the love of Junior’s life and a North Star to his journey through romance and heartbreak, drug-addled despair, and superheroic feats that could save humanity.
