Their involvement provided important insights into the process and challenges involved in the delivery of immediate disaster relief and long-term assistance. Special thanks are also due to the many 9/11 relief funds that submitted detailed information to the Foundation Center regarding their grants and beneficiaries as well as their plans for distributing unspent funds. PHILANTHROPY’S RESPONSE TO 9/11 PROJECT The Foundation Center is documenting private philanthropy’s response to the September 11 terrorist attacks. Using our experience in collecting and analyzing giving data, we are constructing a comprehensive picture of giving by foundations and corporations in the aftermath of 9/11, as well as tracking contributions by intermediaries and direct-service providers. We are also presenting news and in-depth interviews concerning the philanthropic response to 9/11 in the Foundation Center’s online journal, Philanthropy News Digest. Some of these have been reproduced in September 11: Perspectives from the Field of Philanthropy.

The dissertation interrogates how modes of architectural production are operative parts of the same project that has historically, and continues to mutate, to produce varying ideas about racial difference. The dissertation works to discern how much of the state, stakeholders, and media’s desire to house hetero-normative familial structures in high-rise residential towers, is an outcome of ideology that regards the black familial order as dysfunctional, pathological improperly ordered, or poorly managed. Towards these ends, this work interrogates dwelling, taking into account the lives lived within these objects, attending to the politics, aesthetics, and materiality of the making of home.

    For Immediate Release Contact: Elizabeth Cooke Communications Manager [email protected] (212) 691-6500 x210 NEW YORK LIVE ARTS presents The Bang Group’s NUT/CRACKED Dec 20 – 22 at 7:30pm, Dec 22 at 2pm New York, NY, November 21, 2012 – New York Live Arts will present the 10th Anniversary of The Bang Group’s Nut/Cracked Dec 20 – 22 at 7:30pm and Dec 22 at 2pm. Nut/Cracked, called “conceptually brilliant and physically hilarious” by The Boston Globe, is a comic/subservice, neo-vaudeville version of The Nutcracker, returning to New York Live Arts to celebrate a decade of lighthearted holiday humor. A journey into innocence through sustained fantasy, Nut/Cracked incorporates an enterprising mix of tap, ballet, contemporary, disco and more. The work’s 22 sections are accompanied by a mix of popular, jazz and novelty versions of Tchaikovsky’s original score and the traditional orchestral suite. By the end of the show, the cast has danced their way to a new kind of childhood, replete with icons from a thumb-sucking fantasia to the Grand Pas de Deux. In addition to performers from The Bang Group, each show features a different group of teenage guest artists from dance schools throughout New York City, including but not limited to The Dalton School, Dancewave, the Brooklyn Arts Exchange and the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts. “You never know what’ll happen next, but when it’s over you find that what started as a series of flimsy sketches has turned into a passionate declaration of naïveté in the best sense: innocence regained,” saysThe New York Times’ Alastair Macaulay of David Parker and The Bang Group’s Nut/Cracked.
