Performing The World 2010:
Can Performance Change The World?
The sixth Performing the World conference will be held in New York City from Thursday, September 30 through Sunday, October 3, 2010. The sponsors of Performing the World — the East Side Institute for Group and Short Term Psychotherapy and the All Stars Project, Inc. envision PTW 2010 as a three-day “performance of conversation” with people from all over the world — scholars and researchers; teachers, therapists, social workers and community organizers; doctors and other health workers; theatre and other performance artists; union activists and business leaders; economists and political activists — on the subject of performance and the transformation of the individual, the community, and the world.

A Collective Play Reading: Mr. Hirsch Died Yesterday
Saratoga Springs, NY
During the first part of our evening, volunteers will be chosen to perform a play reading of one of Fred Newman’s earliest works.  The rest of those attending will “perform” the audience, with scripts, direction and simple “improv” exercises provided.  During the second half of the evening, we will have a developmental conversation to give everyone a chance to respond to the play and performance.

A Mini Performance Cafe, Saratoga Springs, NY
We invite you to join us for a New Year's Day celebration!  Perform on stage, as an audience, even as a "food presenter" - this is a pot luck - and also volunteer to plan future events.  This is a family friendly event.

Friday, October 12-Sunday, October 14, 2007

Film Event: Nothing Really Happens, Saratoga Springs, NY
This award winning film is a story about Tillie, a concentration camp survivor in her 80's who makes up stories in which nothing really happens, a collection of which has just won the Nobel Prize.  Her search for new stories leads her to a college class on burlesque taught by sociology professor Paula Brownell, whose research has led her to Carmela, a working class stripper from the Bronx.  As the women learn about each other, something really happens: three very different women's stories intertwine, in a painful and joyous journey of discovery.  Join us after the film for a panel discussion with the co-producer and lead actress from the film.
