Carol Hebald’s poem, “The Isolation Room,” which won Big River Poetry Review’s Poem of the Month Award last May, has been nominated by the publisher for this year’s Pushcart Prize.

Lilly Rivlin’s rallying cry throughout her filmmaking career has been “the personal is political.” That philosophy, she says, is ideally reflected in the person of Esther Broner, the co-author of “The Women’s Haggadah” and the co-organizer of the original Women’s Seder.

“Before, women cooked the meal and set the table. … In the beginning, that’s what women did. There was no other place for them,” Rivlin says in a phone interview from her home in New York City. “You never had a woman leading a Seder before this happened. Now many women do.”

Rivlin’s new documentary, “Esther Broner: A Weave of Women,” will be shown on Tuesday, Dec. 3, at Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, on the night Rivlin is presented with the eighth annual Miller Reel Jewish Woman Filmmaker Award.

ABOUT THE COFFEEHOUSE CHRONICLES

Series Director: Michal Gamily

Coffeehouse Chronicles is a free, interactive, educational series exploring the history and development of Off-Off Broadway from its inception within the Village “Coffeehouse Theatres” of the 1960’s through today. Part artist portrait, part history lesson, part community forum, part creative event, it is our mission to provide a home, as did our founder Ellen Stewart, for personal and intimate engagement with art. Since 2005 La MaMa has presented more than 114 Coffeehouse Chronicles featuring personal oral accounts from artists of the day as well as conversations with present day artists who continue to work in the same bold, daring manner.

Coffeehouse Chronicles are held on one Saturday each month (September through June) from 2pm – 4pm at La MaMa. As a free program open to the public, there is no compensation for your involvement. However we believe that your unique and authentic perspective on the development of your work and understanding of theatre will enhance and deepen the audience’s understanding of off off Broadway, as well as your significant contribution to this vital community.

If you want to get in contact about the series, please email Michal at michal@noc-monkey.net

Papers of Lorraine O’Grady, 1952-2012

Wellesley College Library

The Papers of Lorraine O’Grady ’55 have become the first major acquisition of alumnae papers to enter the Wellesley College Archives. The Papers are an extensive record of life and work and include, among others, exhibition records, art notebooks, audiovisual materials, writing drafts, correspondence and personal journals. The whole extends to 65 linear feet and eventually will be supplemented by digital files from 1990 to the present. Contact info for the Papers is on my website. The Finding Aid may be downloaded at the Wellesley College Archives.

Roundtable Discussion w/ Lorraine O’Grady
October 3, 2013 @ 6:30pm – Fales Library, NYU

Should activist and/or situation-specific art be re-performed? Can the myth of performance, conveyed in images, video and critical reviews, be as, or more powerful than physical experience of the work? What is the role of the archive? These questions and others will be considered in the context of the O’Grady archive at Wellesley College. Joining Radical Presence artist Lorraine O’Grady are Glenn Wharton, Art Conservator, Museum Studies, NYU; Lisa Darms, Senior Archivist, Fales Library; and Thomas J. Lax, Assistant Curator, The Studio Museum in Harlem.
Free admission, seating limited. Photo ID required for entrance to NYU Buildings.
