SUMMARY:Radical History Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space\nSATURDAYS & SUNDAYS\, 3:00-5:00PM | $25/person | No reservations needed!\nMeet @ The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space – 155 Ave C\, 9th & 10th St\nTours need three people to run – and almost always do.\nMuseum of Reclaimed Urban Space organic historian Bill Weinberg reveals the stories behind squats\, gardens\, riots\, uprisings and more. From the Civil War Draft Riots of the 1860s — to the Young Lords\, Black Panthers\, hippies\, Yippies and Up Against the Wall Motherf*ckers of the 1960s — to the Tompkins Square anarchists of the ’80s — to the tree-hugging urban enviros of the ’90s to the neighborhood Earthies keeping the legacy alive today. Unlike other neighborhood tours\, we broaden beyond individual anecdotes to paint a strong historical\, academic\, and cultural big picture of the Lower East Side. \n\n\nFive things you will learn on the Lower East Side Radical History Tour that you probably didn’t know:\n1. The radical politics of the songwriter who penned the “Wizard of Oz” soundtrack.\n2. What building in the East Village links the Gershwin brothers\, the Black Panthers and Iggy Pop.\n3. What park in the East Village was the secret birthplace of both the Hare Krishna movement and Occupy Wall Street.\n4. How New York City’s recycling program began as an initiative of East Village community activists.\n5. Why the same area of the city has been variously known as Burnt Mill Point\, Drydock\, Little Germany\, Klein Deutschland\, the Lower East Side\, Loisaida\, the East Village and Alphabet City.

SUMMARY:Archives in Motion
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the New School with Performance Project @ University Settlement\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArchives in Motion is a site-specific performance created in partnership with University Settlement and staged in their historic gymnasium—one of the first basketball courts in the United States. \nLed by faculty member Irina Kruzhilina\, the project brings together students from The New School to engage with the physical\, historical\, and social layers of the site. Drawing from materials found in the University Settlement archives\, the performance emerges through a process of research\, improvisation\, and collective creation. \nFounded in 1886\, University Settlement is the first settlement house in the United States and remains one of New York City’s largest social-service and community-support organizations. \nArchives in Motion explores how meaning is constructed from archival fragments—what archives preserve and what they leave out. Rather than presenting a complete narrative\, the work stages the act of reading\, assembling\, and interpreting archival materials\, bringing them into the present through the bodies and voices of performers in the very space where these histories unfolded. The result is a performance that activates the archive in real time\, placing past and present\, document and body\, in dialogue. \nThe project also carries a historical connection to The New School: David Mannes\, founder of the Mannes School of Music\, once taught at the Settlement. A record recently uncovered in the archives notes\,“There is a string quartet class every Thursday evening in charge of Mr. David Mannes.” \n  \n*Site-specific projects are an immersive activation of the chosen space and how students engage with and respond to it. \n \nThe project includes an audio walking tour through the stairwells. Some areas of the space can only be reached by stairs and are therefore not wheelchair accessible. \n \nTo experience this immersive event\, you will need: \n–A smartphone with the ability to scan a QR code for the moving audio tour \n–Earphones/headphones to connect to your phone \n–Willingness to walk several flights of stairs and stand for an extended period of time \n   \n*Please note\, the Friday evening showing is the final dress rehearsal/preview. \n  \nABOUT SITE SPECIFIC PROJECTS \nSite Specific provides students with a practical appreciation of the processes and methodologies associated with the development\, rehearsal\, and production of site-based performances. Students engage in performative activities in response to the physical\, historical\, and social layers of the chosen site\, as well as various thematic\, textual\, and visual sources. These responses form the basis of improvisational\, visual\, and multimedia content for a devised site-based performance. While faculty provide overarching themes\, creative prompts\, artistic provocations\, and technical guidance\, students take primary responsibility for creating and executing the performance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by the College of Performing Arts at The New School.
