SPEAKERS:
ELLEN MARIANI
Lost her husband Neil on UA 175, is among the more than one hundred
families of Sept. 11th who have refused the U.S. government's hush-money
settlement (average award: $1.8 million) so that they can pursue legal
action to discover the truth.

PHIL BERG
Former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania, is Mrs. Mariani's counsel
in her historic lawsuit against the Bush administration for racketeering
(RICO), allowing the Sept. 11th attacks, and obstruction of justice.

SANDER HICKS
Publisher of Jim Hatfield's controversial Bush biography "Fortunate Son,"
journalist with INN World Report, is a powerful voice within the 9/11
Truth Movement.

And special guest SCOTT RITTER
Former Marine and UN Chief Weapons Inspector for Iraq, boldly stated
before the invasion that Iraq had no significant weapons of mass
destruction. He is a powerful voice against war and against the challenge
to constitutional government at home.

Join 9/11 Widow Ellen Mariani and her lawyer Phil Berg, former Deputy
Attorney General of Pennsylvania to learn about their RICO (federal
racketeering) suit against President Bush and other high level members of his administration based upon prior knowledge of 9/11; knowingly failing to act, prevent or warn of 9/11; and the ongoing obstruction of justice by covering up the truth of 9/11.

In this historic convergence of the 9/11 truth and anti-war movements, Ms.
Mariani and her attorney Philip Berg will be joined at this event by
outspoken Iraq war critic and former UNSCOM weapons inspector Scott
Ritter, in his first appearance at a 9/11 centered event in what is
largely seen as a sign, along with the high visibility of the 9/11
cover-up issue at large March 20th anti-war events in New York and San
Francisco, of the increasing perception among the anti-war movement that government complicity in the events of 9/11 is a very real possibility.

On May 22nd, at the Riverside Church, where Martin Luther King delivered
his historic April 4, 1967 speech against the Vietnam War, the new Antiwar
movement and the 9/11 Truth movement shall combine into a powerful new presence that declares:
"Those who seek peace and justice must fight first for truth and freedom."

Learn about what's going on around you.

Directions to Riverside Church

We want you.

“When the student protest movement refers to "the establishment," we are not kidding. That which we are out to change--be it a university or a government--is built on a tremendously powerful structure of material and organization. The money and resources available to it are immense. We will change nothing unless we organize ourselves, forge ourselves into a united and disciplined force and match the strength of the establishment in confrontations. We can do so because our strength is based on people, not cash. M2M is building an organization of students that recognizes, and works to satisfy, our needs as students and as men and women. These needs are inseparable from the worldwide struggle for liberation.” - May 2nd Movement, September 1965

Fresh from March’s pro-peace street protests with tens of thousands of others worldwide, THAW returns in full force with this month’s Freedom Follies!

April’s Follies features dynamic workshop-generated material from THAW’s Teach-in – Resistance 101: Theater, Activism, Change – facilitated by members of Billionaires for Bush, the Living Theater, the New York Protest Drummers, SLAM and others. The rest of the evening’s festivities include additional short performances and readings showcasing the impact of student activism, past, present and future.

How to participate:
Take part in the Teach-In and collaborate in an interactive workshop! Or, join the Follies as a reader and performer responding to this month’s theme! Choose from material related to the current student responses to the war as well as the rich history of student protest: the student sit-ins during the civil rights movement, The Free Speech Movement (FSM) at Berkeley in the 1960’s, the Paris Commune, Students for a Democratic Society’s Port Huron Statement, Abbie Hoffman-- the Yippies and the Chicago Seven, Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the Kent State Massacre, the ’68 protests at Columbia. Take the stage with the electric work of youth activism today – Books Not Bombs, the current top activist campuses and their innovative work, and more! Reserve a slot by e-mailing sophia_skiles@yahoo.com with your interest in reading or presenting.

Every month THAW's Freedom Follies assemble a posse of rough and tumble NYC theater, poetry and music all-stars for performances, readings and speak-outs.

Beginning in July of 2003,THAW’s crew of volunteer artists has curated monthly extravaganzas of pro-peace/anti-war texts, illuminating a timely
theme-of-the-month. Since then, hundreds of diverse artists and concerned citizens the world over have joined their voices in powerful dissent.

For more information on the Teach-in, log onto www.THAWaction.org!

THAW (Theaters Against War) is an international network of theater artists
responding to the United States' ongoing "War on Terror", aggressive and
unilateral foreign policies, and escalating attacks on civil liberties in the US and throughout the world.

Event information
"We've Come Undone"
A series of monologues, often humorous, sometimes touching, but always provocative. NYC-based artivist Kayhan Irani looks at the impact of recent legislation on Arab, Muslim and South Asian communities within the U.S. Using research and personal interviews, the monologues portray women and girls struggling to make sense of life in an America caught in the grip of distrust. Kayhan created We've Come Undone out of a sincere desire to open communication "post 9/11" - a term so overused it has perhaps been rendered meaningless. Precisely because there are so few channels to facilitate the exploration of these doubts and fears communally, Kayhan finds joy in creating a safe space for open dialogue and interaction among various communities and individuals, and provide more than the one-dimensional, narrow depictions offered up by our mass media.

Reviews from her performance at THE BRIDGE
"...I loved her work"

"It made me think about things differently."

"Please let me know when you will be presenting Ms. Irani's work again."

"I was laughing one minute and wanted to cry the next."

"The characters seemed so real to me."

"Thank you for presenting her, that was excellent."

"We actually saw Kayhan perform at Burning Man, pretty moving stuff,
will try to make the show."

Q: What happens when you randomly combine 4 DJ's, 4 VJ's, and 4 movement improvisers?

Darryl Hell is a mixed-media musical performance artist who's composed
and created soundscapes since he was eight. Hell was a bicycle
freestylist from 1979-89 (he co-designed the first trials/freestyle bicycle frame), and co-created trigger mechanisms for the world's first video sampler (created by Emergency Broadcast Network). He is the founder of Sektor 6 Kommunikations www.s6k.com.

David Linton works with live-percussion, electronic music and scores for traditional instruments. He's jammed with Karole Armitage, Charles
Atlas, Diamanda Galás, David Parsons, Elliot Sharp, Randy Warshaw and the Wooster Group. In 1985 and 1986 he received a New York Dance and Performance Award.

Horchata aka Mike Palace creates strange voice collages, tape loops,
twisted beats and some very delightful noise pieces. Play it loud and
get prepared for a solid introspection. His dark ambient music makes you
feel you are on the run.

VIDEO
Naval Cassidy is an instant cinema and sound performer. He's worked on
his own and with Valued Cu$tomer, as Stackable Thumb and The Hands of Orlak.
He has spent most of the last few years pulling delirious visions out of
discarded broken objects as they are placed under the watchful eye of
his camera.

Angie Eng combines common objects, atmospheric sound, and moving
pictures to create physical environments probing the surface of awkward journeys of everyday existence to the depths of the subconscious. She balances between being a visual artist, video performer, and art educator.

Video Fly is a set of interactive video processing tools that
manipulates live or recorded video on the fly. The performer can swing a lightweight web camera to move to smear the image into abstraction. Terry Mohre and Pam Payne perform with the Video Fly in NYC.

w2 aka Walter Wright is a member of VideoSpace and a professor of
interactive media. At the Experimental Television Center from 1973-76,
he pioneered video performance touring with the Paik/Abe synthesizer. He
uses his own system, the Video Shredder, to mesmerize audiences whenever he can.

MOVE
Joe Burgio has been inspired by his teachers Jennifer Hicks, and Debra
Bluth. A compulsive burning man attendee and Frank Zappa impersonator, Joe would like to bring the sparse, arid and polychromatic dance of the masses.

Teresa Czepiel has been dancing since the age of five. Her influences include the urban landscape, Frank O'Hara, Buddhist meditation, indie
rock, and constant contemplations on the term "postmodern."

Heather McQuiston directs Royal Jelly Collective, a performance
collaboration group, which co-produces Open Floor at the Green Street
Studios in Cambridge. Her choreography has been shown at Dance Complex, Zeitgeist Gallery, Artists At Large, Evos Arts Institute, the Berwick
Institute, Mobius, and MIT.

Edisa Weeks of Delirious Dance Co. merges theater with dance to create loosely narrative and physically dynamic works that explore the beauty
and complexity of life. She has performed with Spencer/Colton Dance, Jane Comfort, Dance Brazil, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Co., Reggie
Wilson, and The Kevin Wynn Collection.

We would like to thank everyone who was part of this installation as a performer, artist, or viewing participant. The thousands of people who walked by and the hundreds we watched read and take in the exhibit will be our inspiration to produce similar exhibits in Bed-Stuy, Harlem and wherever else we can...and not only during Black History month.
THANK YOU ALL.

Complete info for B3 event

A series of moving monologues inspired by stories from the Arab American, Muslim and South Asian communities.

From a young girls' bewilderment at her father's disappearance, to an INS agent's rant and a Sikh woman's humorous conversation with an arsonist, the characters' truths aim to enlighten, activate and inspire.

Interweaving drama, dance, music and multimedia, this poignant multidisciplinary piece explores the impact of recent legislation on several communities in the US that are experiencing the trauma of detention, disappearance and deportation.

Written & Performed by Kayhan Irani
