Discussion | Living Room Conversations on Dance


This evening of conversations with a diverse group of artists, choreographers, writers, and thinkers is organized to avoid the usual dreaded post-performance discussion, and to side-step the hackneyed question: "What is your work about?" Instead we offer actual conversation on topics of interest to Susan and her guests. There will be time slots allotted to particular topics, though the structure of the conversation will be loose. Topics include, but are not limited to, "emotion and space," "writing about dance," "describing the indescribable," and "the need for meaning." Guests include 2010 Whitney Biennial artist Dawn Clements, architects from the international design/architectural team Snøhetta Craig Dykers and Elaine Molinar, choreographer Ursula Eagly, cross-disciplinary artist Ralph Lemon, cinematographer Babette Mangolte, choreographer Tere O'Connor, choreographer Melinda Ring, and internationally acclaimed visual artist Pat Steir.

Author Reading | Greg Lindsay discusses his book Aerotropolis: The Way We’ll Live Next


The author presents an eye-opening look at the new phenomenon called the aerotropolis - a combination of giant airport, planned city, shipping facility, and business hub - and gives us a glimpse at the way we will live in the near future and the way we will do business. Learn about the aerotropolis- the intersection of air travel and urban planning and explore how air travel and transportation are largely responsible for the shape and scope – and winners and losers – of globalization. He examines how cities such as Hong Kong, Dallas, Detroit and Dubai are changing (or being built anew) to reflect the interests of corporations that effectively scattered pieces of themselves across the world, relying on the Internet and Airbus planes to tie themselves together.

"First proposed in 1808 and completed 17 years later, the Erie Canal was the first great feat of macroengineering undertaken by the infant American republic. As economic consultant Bernstein (Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk) shows in his eloquent account, the canal—stretching 363 miles from the Hudson River to Lake Erie—reshaped not only the economic landscape of the eastern seaboard but the political and social landscape as well." - Publishers Weekly

Screening | Korean Film: Lim Woo Sung's Vegetarian (2010)


Like a Korean version of Todd Haynes’s SAFE, this movie starts when a perfectly normal woman develops a meat phobia that shatters her ordinary life. Unable to stand the sight or smell of meat, soon she can’t even stand to be in the same room as her husband if he’s eaten meat that day. Turning darker, from a tale of a phobia to a story of erotic obsession, Vegetarian was an official selection of the Sundance Film Festival 2010 and it stars a posse of Korean indie scene veterans. 113 min.
