Utp 2019 Program UTP 2019 PROGRAM MOMENTUM in Blak Box, 2019 Photography: Teresa Tan WELCOME TO UTP 2019 This year has been a big one, we have seen two major presentations of Blak Box UTP’s First Nations deep listening experience; Eric Avery and Yo-Yo Ma played to an ecstatic audience in the cavernous Cutaway underneath the Sydney Harbour foreshore; we had 100 people to dinner in Burnie, Tasmania, to begin our three year relationship with Ten Days on the Island; and hosted 27 kids in an exploration of art and language with Arab Theatre Studio for Bilingual Kids’ Art Lab, at our home in Bankstown. To top this off I have taken over from the incredible Rosie Denis, as the Artistic Director of Urban Theatre Projects (UTP). I am honoured to take up the post as Artistic Director and look forward to continuing to develop UTP’s unique brand of contemporary performance as we lead the discussion on the intersection of art and community engagement, and we are ready to take this to the world. I would like to acknowledge our multi-year supporters, without whom we could not exist. Art is not a luxury, and your support makes this statement a reality; UTP Producers’ Circle, the Australia Council for the Arts, Create NSW, Crown Resorts Foundation and the Packer Family Foundation, Western Sydney University, Infrastructure NSW, Bankstown Art Centre, Nelson Meers Foundation and the Saturday Paper. I would like to thank the UTP team, in particular, Adam McGowan, Frank Mainoo, Lukas Bliekendaal, Anna McMahon, Bronwyn Papantonio, Sue Spence, Daniel Browning, Travis De Vries and Company Prophets. Well done on such an epic year. We hope you enjoy remembering the significant achievements of 2019, see you in 2020.

Over the past year UTP has created a prototype and tested the ‘experience’ with various focus groups including counsellors, women with lived experience, high school students and friends of UTP. The response has been positive so we are taking the work into full production.

    Annual Report 2013 Neighbors Helping Neighbors MISSION STATEMENT The Mission of the Interfaith Food Pantry is to: • improve the health and well being of Morris County residents in need by providing access to food, nutrition education and related resources; • provide hands on opportunities for neighbors to help neighbors; • educate the public about the issues of hunger in our area. 2 Executive Drive, Morris Plains, NJ 07950 Phone: (973) 538 - 8049 Fax: (973) 998 - 5086 www.mcifp.org E-mail: [email protected] What is the Interfaith Food Pantry? The Interfaith Food Pantry is a non-denominational, non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization helping families make ends meet by supplementing their monthly groceries in times of need. Established in 1994, the Interfaith Food Pantry was formed when a group from four local houses of worship decided to address the growing issue of hunger by consolidating their food assistance programs. The objective was to create a central collection and distribution center in Morristown. Our Federal tax-exempt # is 22-3618468. What We Do The Interfaith Food Pantry provides groceries to eligible Morris County residents. Groceries are collected from a variety of sources: houses of worship, businesses & schools, community service programs, local groups and organizations, individuals and families. The Food Pantry purchases food whenever donations run low in order to maintain our goal of providing reliable assistance to the community. We distribute groceries to: senior citizens, low-income working families, recently unemployed workers, and other individuals in crisis. In addition to those who come to the Pantry, groceries are delivered throughout the county to those who are disabled and cannot get to us.

  • University Programs
    University Programs Artists & Social Justice SUPPLEMENTAL WORKS The following selections from the Blanton Museum of Art’s collection represent alternatives to works of art featured in Artists and Social Justice. They introduce themes of police brutality, white supremacy, gender expression, xenophobia, and media bias — among others. Those who peruse the collection online at collection.blantonmuseum.org will find many other works of art that might be used to stimulate dialogue or generate assignments on a range of social issues. If needed, University of Texas faculty and staff may access larger image files via the Digital Archives System (DASE) at bit.ly/BlantonDASE. Try showing the image of the artwork first, to encourage student observations, before sharing the close-ups and contextual information. In making your selections, please be aware that powerful images may be disturbing or controversial for some students. We recommend having clear guidelines for respectful dialogue in place. Some students may need alternative assignments, emotional support, or referrals to the University’s Counseling and Mental Health Center at cmhc.utexas.edu. In general, images closely aligned with course readings and discussions will be less charged — but never underestimate the power of art. 2 Mequitta Ahuja, Parade 14 Jacob Lawrence, The 1920’s...The Migrants 20 Frank Moore, Patient 28 Cauleen Smith, Light Up Your 4 Eric Avery, Not the Feet of the One and Only Cast their Ballots, from Kent Bicentennial 22 Shirin Neshat, Ghada Life (For Sandra Bland) Portfolio: Spirit of Independence 6 Dawoud Bey, Oris 2 24 Catherine Opie, Angela Scheirl 30 Vincent Valdez, The City I 16 Jacob Lawrence, The Eviction 8 Jamal Cyrus, Eroding Witness 26 Ben Shahn, From That Day On 33 Charles White, I’ve Been 18 Glenn Ligon, I Feel Most Colored ‘Buked and I’ve Been Scorned Certain materials in this resource are included under the fair use exemption of the U.S.

  • Guitar World #11, Novembre 97
    GUITAR WORLD #11, NOVEMBRE 97 SHOCK EXCHANGE par Alan Di Perna Jane's Addiction is back - if only temporarily - and they got Flea with 'em. Guitarist Dave Navarro and the righteous bass man rap about the good old days and their bad old ways. Dave Navarro and Flea are sitting together on the famous "sideways" rocking chair from the cover of Jane's Addiction's 1988 album, Nothing's Shocking. They're huddled together like two schoolboys on a bus, giggling, exchanging whispered jokes, setting up a force field of friendship to insulate them from the prying eye of the photographer's lens, the glaring floodlights and the coldly appraising gazes of assorted makeup artists, dressers, handlers and assistants. Navarro hates photo shoots. But Flea seems to welcome an opportunity to dress up like his newest heroes, Sixties black power militants the Black Panthers. He's even brought along a Panther uniform (black leather jacket, black turtleneck, black beret, wraparound shades) for Dave. When the world first saw the "sideways" rocking chair, it was, of course, holding a sculpture of Siamese twins, naked, female, created by Jane's Addiction leader Perry Farrell who set the figures' heads alight for the controversial Nothing's Shocking cover photo. Prepare to be shocked once more, because Farrell has now reconvened Jane's Addiction. The return of the band that instigated the alternative rock Nineties will be marked by a CD containing one brand new song and a slew of previously unreleased material, demos and live recordings from the first incarnation of Jane's Addiction.
