  • Brooklyn Friends School Report to New York Quarterly Meeting October 2017 Quaker Life and Selected Activities at Brooklyn Friend
    Brooklyn Friends School Report to New York Quarterly Meeting October 2017 Quaker Life and Selected Activities at Brooklyn Friends School One of the truly significant and Quaker-related activities that took place during the 2016-17 academic year was the joint planning and hosting of the 2017 Quaker Youth Leadership Conference by Brooklyn Friends and Mary McDowell Friends. The QYLC, an annual 3-day conference gathering high school students from Friends schools throughout the US, Canada and the UK took place in NYC from February 2-4, 2017. Conference activities took place at Brooklyn Friends School, Mary McDowell Friends School, Brooklyn Monthly Meeting House, various cultural institutions such as the Brooklyn Historical Society, and various service organizations such as the Quaker United Nations Office. Mary McDowell teacher Barbara von Salis and Brooklyn Friends teacher Marna Herrity, both members of Brooklyn Monthly Meeting, served as the point people for the student/faculty planning committees at their respective schools. Approximately 200 students and faculty from Friends schools throughout the US, and one school in Canada, took part in the Conference. QYLC participants heard from keynote speaker Niyonu Spann and a panel of social activists, visited NYC cultural sites, participated in community service projects and student-led workshops, and had the opportunity to make connections with one another. Brooklyn Monthly Meeting member Joan Malin received a spontaneous standing ovation from the QYLC students when she was introduced as the President and CEO of NYC Planned Parenthood at the start of the panel. -1- Our NYQM Clerk, Andy von Salis, volunteered as a tour guide to a large group of students and chaperones that visited Ground Zero and the 9/11 Tribute Center.

  • Reviews & Press •
    REVIEWS & PRESS J. Hoberman. On Jack Smith’s Flaming Creatures (and Other Secret-Flix of Cinemaroc). Granary Books, & Hip’s Road, 2001. • Grubbs, David. "Review of On Jack Smith's 'Flaming Creatures.' " Bookforum 9.1: 15. It's a shame that Ted Turner dropped out of the film-colorization business before tackling Flaming Creatures. I'm trying to imagine Jack Smith's washed-out, defiantly low-contrast 1963 film being given the full treatment. Flaming Creatures is the work for which Smith is best known, a film that landed exhibitors in a vortex of legal trouble and quickly became the most reviled of '60s underground features. As J. Hoberman writes, "Flaming Creatures is the only American avant-garde film whose reception approximates the scandals that greeted L'Age d'Or or Zéro de Conduite." Smith's self-described comedy in a "haunted movie studio" is a forty-two-minute series of attractions that include false starts, primping, limp penises, bouncing breasts, a fox-trot, an orgy, a transvestite vampire, an outsized painting of a vase, and perilous stretches of inactivity. The sound track juxtaposes Bartók, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, the Everly Brothers, and an audience-baiting minutes-long montage of screams. Still, one suspects that the greatest trespass may have been putting Smith's queer "creatures" on display. If Hoberman's monograph makes Smith's filmic demimonde less other-worldly—colorizes it, if without the Turner motive—it does so in a manner more akin to the 1995 restoration of Jacques Tati's 1948 Jour de Fête. Tati's film was shot simultaneously in color and in black and white; had the experimental Thomson-Color process worked at the time, it would have been the first French full-length color film.

To some self-appointed arbiters of italianità, the answer is: Roman Catholic, conservative, and indisputably heterosexual.” If we have learned anything from the ongoing scrutiny of the Italian-American “experience” it is that said experience is any thing but singular. Italian-American histories and cultures are diverse, multifaceted, and ever open to new interpretations and revisions. Author George De Stefano [2] began a 2001 book review in the John D. Calandra Italian American Institute’s social-science journal, the Italian American Review [3] (vol. 8, no.2), with a rhetorical question: “Who, or more precisely, what is an Italian American?

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's influence (loud and sloppy garage-blues) was still felt throughout the country, as proven by the Immortal Lee County Killers in Alabama with The Essential Fuck-Up Blues (2001); the Black Keys in Ohio with The Big Come Up (2002); and by the Kills in Florida, playing the version popularized by the White Stripes on No Wow (2005). The Fiery Furnaces (4), formed by Matthew Friedberger and Eleanor Friedberger, siblings from Chicago who relocated to New York, exhibited a versatile and multi-faceted style on Gallowsbird's Bark (2003). Anti- crooning vocals and spiked guitar riffs as well as wildly unstable dynamics evoked the Rolling Stones at their most drunken/deranged, or Captain Beefheart's Magic Band fronted by Janis Joplin. At the same time the exuberant neglect of their arrangements was reminiscent of Pere Ubu. Blueberry Boat (2004) stretched out into longer and more ambitious songs, collages of genres and tours de force of arrangement (including electronic keyboards) that were meant to create a new form of musical theater. That form came to life on Rehearsing My Choir (2005), a work structured as a dialogue between an older woman and a younger one over a substratum of eccentric and cacophonous sounds.
