Performance Space 122 is pleased to announce the premiere of a new program titled "Conversations with Culture," a series of public panel discussions engaging non-performing arts community members in a dialogue about the art, politics, and life that happens on our stages. These discussions endeavor to reinsert performance into the cultural, economic, and environmental debates coursing through contemporary society, from which it has recently largely been excluded.
On October 20th, PS122 will inaugurate this series with the panel discussion "Contemporary Performance and God," presented in advance of Morgan Thorson's run of Heaven, a new ensemble work exploring emotional and physical manifestations of ecstatic perfection, gleaning forms and concepts from religious practices as strategies for creating the same state through dance. The discussion aims to trigger wider cross-community debates about the role and ramifications of contemporary performance as critique of, complement to, and replacement for other religious practices.
October 20th Participants include:
JAY WEGMAN Director of the Abrons Art Center and and former Canon for Liturgy and the Arts at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine www.henrystreet.org/arts
MORGAN THORSON choreographer: HEAVEN premiering at Performance Space 122 on October 25: http://www.ps122.org/performances/heaven.html

This Friday, September 11, Jeremy and I will be presenting a collaborative performative poetics piece we’ve authored entitled EXTRA! V ORGANZA as part of the Boog City Festival’s Poets’ Theater program. Other poets presenting include Charles Bernstein and Charles Borkhuis.
EXTRA! V ORGANZA description: They are inked up. They are hot off the press. Spinning good yarns. Penciling a National Angle. News Items: His Woman Girl of the Fridays Years (1940) (1942) closes the press box; some curtains. Gets in the wired room; word-ringers, face reporters, and gossipmongers gum up the works. The Rumor Mill, an RSS feed, Perez Hilton, and teeny Tweets are seen slurping Manhattan at the Savoy Saturday. This weak head lines: Wild Parties in Pictureland. Weekend Orgies of the Stars of the Silver Sheet! Singed Startlet Warns of Winding Celluloid Road to Ruin! 80 stab and jab beached bodies, the best and worth less of 1990, the Forbes Celebrity 100-2009. There’s something very important on the teletype, six or seven items back. The Obits read: Bolshevist sweetheart dead, a relation, you knew her.
Poets’ Theater Information:

Sidewalk Cafe, 94 Avenue A (at East 6th Street)
