I recently stumbled onto Lauren
\nWheeler’s web site.<\/a> Although I honestly can’t remember having long or meaningful
\nconversations with this woman while we were together at Cornell (this is because
\nthey never happened by chance, not because either of us was incapable of such
\nthings – or so I’d like to think), I do have a handful of fond memories where
\nI had the pleasure of seeing her perform some poetry up in i-town. And from the
\nfew brief conversations we did share, I think she was\/is a bit of alright. Admittedly,
\nreading her words on screen is not as dialogical or powerful as seeing her live,
\nbut that is Mos Def not to say that power is lacking. Check
\nher out.<\/a><\/p>\n

Another note, Pat Benatar playing live, and for free, in NYC.<\/a> Sorry to miss it.<\/p>\n

And, for those of you on my side of the globe, Anti-Retroviral
\nTheatre (ART)<\/a> has its first showcase of student work this Sunday, beginning
\n2PM @ The Dance Factory, Newtown Cultural Precinct (downtown, next to MegaMusic),
\nJohannesburg. Background:<\/em> ART<\/a>
\nis a course aimed at providing people living with HIV with a range of new skills,
\nin order to transform their own lives and find innovative ways of creating positive
\npossibilities for themselves and their communities, to become more actively engaged
\nin social transformation.
\nI’ve done a few poetry workshops with these peops, and I have to say that they
\nare doing amazing work – and I’m talking about the students, here, even more than
\nthe facilitators. Ages range from 17-45, and the backgrounds of the participators
\nare even more diverse (most are coming in from the townships, daily; ART<\/a>
\nprovides transport money and lunch, and the workshops are all free free free).
\nBe prepared for some amazing and dynamic people, doing even more amazing and dynamic
\nthings – the course has included workshops in arts, holistic and positive living,
\ndance, trust, music, painting, photography, storytelling, performance poetry,
\nsound journeys, acting, mime, physical theater, yoga, PNI (psycho-neuro-immunology),
\nnutrition and home based care. The showcase will feature its students speaking
\nback to, and conversing with, these skills and topics. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
