PEARSONWIDRIG DANCETHEATER performs the compelling work Katrina, Katrina: Love Letters to New Orleans a full-evening live documentary of powerful dance, spoken word, video and extraordinary music from New Orleans that embodies the unfathomable loss and love felt by so many. “Heart-wrenching and wryly humorous” (The Washington Post), the piece includes original text developed in workshops by New Orleans evacuees. The work continually evolves as it tours the country, since PEARSONWIDRIG DANCETHEATER invites both New Orleans evacuees and people who may or may not yet have a connection with the city to participate in workshops, video portraits or as members of the performing cast. Katrina, Katrina: Love Letters to New Orleans offers a transformative experience that is healing in the deepest sense. As a new kind of community is forged in workshops and performances rich in humor, honesty and compassion, a new way of creating and being together comes into existence, one which can touch the deepest places of grief and love. This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts. PEARSONWIDRIG DANCETHEATER’s work is supported by the National Performance Network Residency Program and is commissioned by Contemporary Arts Center in partnership with Dance Place and the National Performance Network Creation Fund. The Creation Fund is sponsored by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, Ford Foundation, Altria, and the National Endowment for the Arts (a federal agency).

In Defense of Liberty: The Relationship Between Security and...
Where: The Heritage Foundation
Date: 2008-06-03 11:00:00
Type:
Host: The Heritage Foundation. Since September 11, 2001, it has become popular to suggest that our liberties have been gratuitously trampled upon, out of either political expediency or false worries about foreign and domestic terrorists. In fact, while it is often difficult for an American to cite specific ways in which he is less free, it is easy, on the other hand, to identify loss of freedom of expression in the West—in a variety of media that touch on questions of Islam, from film and fiction to cartoons and papal speeches—brought on by self-censorship and fear of murderous retaliation. Join us as author and columnist Victor Davis Hanson discusses the challenge facing the Western nation state in the present postmodern age of asymmetrical warfare, globalization, and worldwide terrorism: to ensure that its own citizens can express themselves freely without fear of violence and retribution, from enemies who are quite different from those our security forces have dealt with in the past. Dr. Hanson has written or edited thirteen books, including Warfare and Agriculture in Classical Greece (1983); The Western Way of War (1989); The Wars of the Ancient Greeks (1999); The Soul of Battle (1999); Carnage and Culture (2001); An Autumn of War (2002); Ripples of Battle: How Wars of the Past Still Determine How We Fight, How We Live, and How We Think ( 2004), and The Immigration Solution: A Better Plan Than Today’s (2007). He was awarded the National Humanities Medal in 2007.
