Sherlock Jr.
The Boat
MONDAYS, MAY 23 – AUGUST 8

(1924) Sleep-fantasizing projectionist Buster jumps right on to the movie screen, finding himself furiously edited from garden bench to city street to cliff — then becomes the ace detective of his wildest cinema fantasies. Approx. 45 minutes. The good ship Damfino goes from disaster to disaster in The Boat (1921). Approx. 19 minutes.
“Wonderfully imaginative. A piece of native American surrealism.”
– Pauline Kael
“Keaton’s appreciation of the formal paradoxes of the medium is astounding;
his observations on the relationship between film and the subconscious
are groundbreaking and profound. And it’s a laugh riot, too.”
– Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
“An incredible technical accomplishment, but also an almost Pirandellian exploration
of the nature of cinematic reality.”
– Tom Milne, Time Out (London)

About the show
Carnal and spiritual collide in this search for what nourishes the infinite possibilities of our hearts’ desires. In the world premiere of Epyllion, the story we are becoming unfolds through puppetry, movement, and song, developing new rituals that tap into the innate intelligence of the body and reawaken this understanding in those who bear witness to it. Through everyday practices we identify ourselves in the moment but also touch upon an ancient, visceral subconscious.
A Dream Music Puppetry Production

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012The Canterbury Tales Remixed at SoHo Playhouse
Updated: Wednesday, January 25th, 2012
SoHo Playhouse in Hudson Square presents: The Canterbury Tales Remixed
Wednesday February 1, 2012
7:30 pm
The Canterbury Tales Remixed
Written and performed by Baba Brinkman
Featuring music and turn-tablism by Mr. Simmonds
Directed by Darren Lee Cole
Geoffrey Chaucer’s timeless Canterbury Tales come to vivid life in an “entertaining and brilliant” (Time Out) virtuoso performance linking modern hip-hop lyrics with the greatest stories ever told. Framed by gripping re-imaginings of the epic poems Gilgamesh and Beowulf, Canadian literature scholar and rap dramatist Baba Brinkman forges a new masterpiece out of the rawest material etched on vellum, or carved into clay tablets. Just like the most heart-wrenching songs by Eminem or Kanye West, these ancient Tales are infused with lust and betrayal, infidelity, greed, jealousy, ambition, and the endless struggles between men and women seeking happiness.

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012The Future of Financing Renewables and Cleantech
Updated: Wednesday, January 4th, 2012
The Jerome L. Greene Performance Space at WNYC
44 Charlton Street (at Varick St), New York, NY 10014
Livestream via greentechmedia though WNYC’s livestream platform
7:00pm – 9:00pm (doors open at 6:30pm)
The beginning of 2012 signals the end of the cleantech gold rush and ushers in a new era in renewable energy funding. The cash grant of the Investment Tax Credit is gone, and prospects are low for the renewal of the Federal Production Tax Credit. As we move into an uncertain financial landscape, where will today’s innovators find funding for their projects and companies? Will cleantech be able to flourish with fewer federal dollars? Leading financial experts will examine these issues and offer a realistic assessment of where cleantech is headed now that the buck has stopped.
This event is open to the public. General admission is $25 and student admission is $10 with a valid ID. Register at www.cleanecnyc.org

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012Joe Henry with Marc Ribot at City Winery
Updated: Wednesday, January 18th, 2012
City Winery presents: Joe Henry with Marc Ribot
Tuesday, January 31, 2012
6:00 pm seating / 8:00 pm show
Tickets: $30 – $40
Revered musician and producer JOE HENRY new album Reverie is now out on Anti-Records. The album is a stirring acoustic affair, stripped and lean but not demur, more lifelike, fuming and nervously ticking than any Henry has managed. It is also a work that addresses, albeit subtly, some very profound themes. “With Reverie I am nodding to time,” Henry explains. “But also to all the love, hope, despair, and revelation that stands naked inside its weather.”
In addition to being a critically heralded solo artist, Henry is a multi Grammy winning producer with credits that include Solomon Burke’s 2002 album Don’t Give Up On Me, which won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album as well as works by esteemed artists such as Bettye LaVette, Mose Allison, Aimee Mann and Ani DiFranco, and an additional Grammy for “Best Traditional Folk Album” with the 2010 album by the Carolina Chocolate Drops. This work with other iconic artists, in turn, informs Henry’s own unique and ever evolving sound.
