DANCE Body talkin’ Photo by Jordan Rathkopf They’re using the universal language of dance. A Ditmas Park performer is using a new theater piece to bridge her family’s generational — and linguistic — divide. Haruna Lee, who speaks very little Japanese, and her mom, Aoi Lee, who speaks very little English, will take the stage together for “Communing with You,” which combines the tra- ditional Japanese dance-theater style known as Bu- toh with contemporary moves. The project, at the Brooklyn Arts Exchange in Park Slope on Nov. 19, has given the mother-daughter pair a new way (718) 260–2500 Brooklyn Paper’s essential guide to the Borough of Kings November 11–17, 2016 to communicate, said Lee. “I thought maybe we could dig deeper and cre- ate a piece, and maybe figure out a way to com- municate through this piece,” she said. During the 30-minute show, the two will use movement and large images to explore their con- nection and their differences, said Lee, and she hopes the audience will appreciate the complex cultural identities that they bring to the stage. “My mom is coming from this very iconic traditional Japanese form of dance and I con- sider myself Japanese, and yet I’m so immersed in my American identity.

We are NYC’s transit workers. We safely move nearly 8 million bus and subway riders a day: 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. And with growing ridership, we will transport 150 million more riders in 2016 than just a few years ago - with the same number of workers.

These are uniquely dangerous and stressful jobs. We are physically assaulted hundreds of times each year. Spitting incidents are at all time highs. Thousands of our brother and sister transit workers, meanwhile, are injured annually by on-the-job industrial accidents. Twelve were killed on duty since 2001.

Our contract with the MTA is expiring. We will kick off our campaign for fair raises, solid benets and no givebacks with a rally on ov. 15th in ower Manhattan. We are NYC’s transit workers and We Move NY.
