May 8 & 9 - Midnight- Mezzanotte!
THE BIG LEBOWSKI Party
IFC Center
www.ifccenter.com.
Descrizione: Siete fan accanitissimi del Big Lebowsky? Sapete il film a memoria, collezionate reliquie, vi vestite come i protagonisti del film, ne ripetete le gesta? Beh, questo party e’ per voi! Come gia’ succede per altri film-culto, tipo il The Rocky Horror Picture Show, cinema independenti offrono questo tipo di evento a mezzanotte. Ci saranno varie attivita’ prima e durante la proiezione del film e se tutto va bene, potrete anche essere premiati con lo specialissimo Lebowsky Prize.
Description: The creators of IFC Center’s previous smash midnight hit, The Buffy The Vampire Slayer Sing-Along, return with two new midnight shows in May that bring your favorite cult movies to life!
The Coen Brothers’ 1998 comedy THE BIG LEBOWSKI has inspired countless bowling parties, drinking games, its own fan convention (Lebowskifest) and even a book dedicated purely to its unstoppable cult following (I’m A Lebowski, You’re A Lebowski). In bringing this oddball slacker classic back, we’re not only showing the filmbut making it a party! Before the film, join us and test your skill at Nintendo Wii Bowling on the big screen, as well as contests of rug peeing (Yes, rug peeing!), trivia, impressions, and the f-word speed round. Winners get special Lebowski prizes and a chance to show off their bowling shirts to an adoring crowd. From IFC presentation.

Corpo di Stato
By and With Marco Baliani
Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò
24 West 12th Street (between 5th and 6th avenue)
www.nyu.edu/pages/casaitaliana/events.html
Descrizione: Un ottimo attore e uno spettacolo forte. Un’occasione unica e rara di vedere un attore di grande calibro recitare a New York. Il monologo parte da uno dei fatti piu’ oscuri o comunque drammatici, fondamentali, indimenticabili dell’Italia degli ultimi decenni per raccontare una generazione che con questi fatti ha dovuto fare I conti per molto tempo.
Description: Actor, writer and director Marco Baliani will be performing “Corpo di Stato” (Body of State), a show on Aldo Moro’s kidnapping, one of the most tragic events in recent Italian political history. The discovery of the lifeless body of Aldo Moro in the baggage compartment of a red Renault on May 9 1978 brings an end to his 55 days in captivity. Fifty-five days that shocked Italy and opened wounds still unhealed. BODY OF STATE is a historical account and an unsparing, open portrait of the generation that split during the crisis of conscience triggered by the Moro kidnapping, but also the story of one man who discovered his vocation in theatre as he lived through it. In his monologue, Baliani reconstructs the story and ruthlessly interrogates himself about his role in the events, driven by a need to understand and confront the meaning of justice and responsibility. The performance moves between two levels: with the great events of national history as the background, the little histories, as Calvino called them, illuminate history with minute but intense tales of life, memory, and lived experience.
In Italian with English supertitles followed by a Q&A with the Director

Roxy Paine on the Roof: Maelstrom
28 Aprile– 25 Ottobre 2009
The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden
Metropolitan Museum of Art
Descrizione: Al Metropolitan Museum, sulla terrazza al quinto piano, dal 28 aprile al 25 ottobre (tempo permettendo) troverete un’istallazione che è un po’ foresta, un po’ crisi epilettica. Se non siete mai saliti sulla terrazza del museo, bisogna assolutamente farlo ora: tra i tubi contorti e scintillanti al sole, si scorgono viste impareggiabili dello skyline newyorkese. (Marta Mondelli)
La terrazza del Metropolitan e’ aperta dalle 10 fino all’orario di chiusura del Museo. E’ possibile bere e mangiare sandwiches.
Description: At the Metropolitan Museum, on the terrace at the fifth floor, from April 28th to October 25th (weather permitting) you will find an art installation that is forest and an epileptic seizure. If you never climbed on the museum’s terrace, you should definitely do it now: among the swirling and shiny pipeline, you’ll catch a breathtaking glimpse of the New York skyline. (Marta Mondelli)
From Metropolitan Museum web-site: American artist Roxy Paine (b. 1966) has created a 130-foot-long by 45-foot-wide stainless-steel sculpture, especially for the Museum’s Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden. Giving viewers the sense of being immersed in the midst of a cataclysmic force of nature, Maelstrom (2009) is Paine’s largest and most ambitious work to date. The latest in a diverse body of work, this sculpture is one of the artist’s Dendroids based on systems such as vascular networks, tree roots, industrial piping, and fungal mycelia. Set against Central Park and its architectural backdrop, the installation explores the interplay between the natural world and the built environment amid nature’s inherently chaotic processes.
Beverage and sandwich service will be available from 10:00 a.m. until closing, including Friday and Saturday evenings.

The son of one couple (Jeff Daniels and Hope Davis) has broken two of the teeth of the son of another (James Gandolfini and Marcia Gay Harden).

Philippe Chow
469 Sixth Aveue
Tel. 212-929 8949 33 E 60th Street
Tel.212-644 8885
Web-Site: www. Philippechow.com
Descrizione: Siamo andati ultimamente con un amico che ci ha proposto il ristorante dicendo che era una versione piu’ alla moda rispetto ad un tipico ristorante cinese. Chi scrive non ama molto la cucina cinese, dunque dire che il posto e’ piu’ che frequentabile, e’ veramente dire molto. Servizio impeccabile, cibo buono, atmosfera carina, prezzi forse meno economici del solito, ma non eccessivi. Noi l’abbiamo provato a pranzo, dunque non c’era molta gente e si stava davvero bene, a parte la solita televisione che deve sempre intromettersi fra la chiacchere a tavola. Lo trovate a New York, Miami, gli Hamptons e persino in Messico!
Description: “Mr. Philippe Chow was born in China in 1958 and went to Hong Kong when he was 16 years old. Philippe spent 5 years learning all the Chinese basic cooking skills and worked in various kitchens in Hong Kong. Philippe came to the United States in 1979 and started working in the kitchen of Mr. Chow located in Manhattan, New York in 1980. Despite the lengthy working hours at Mr. Chow for 25 years, Philippe was fortunate to have the opportunity to learn and work with some of the best chefs including: Mr. Steven Yim, one of the well recognized ‘Dim Sum’ chefs who had worked for Mr. Chow for 20 years and retired in 1995. Mr. Lam Shak Chug who was also the head chef and kitchen manager for Mr. Chow for 38 years and retired in 2002. Philippe became one of the prominent chefs in 2002 and contributed great success to Mr. Chow as one of the best eateries in Manhattan. Philippe demonstrated his ‘hand pulled’ nooddle skills on one of the network cooking shows in 1999 and was well received by the audience. Philippe left Mr. Chow restaurant in September, 2005 after 25 years.” From Philippe Chow web-site

Subways: F, V, A, C, E, N, R, W 14th Street

Descrizione: La Kane School e’ a nostro parere la migliore scuola e il miglior centro di Pilates in citta’. Non e’ semplice Pilates, non e’ quello tradizionale che ormai e’ diventato solo moda senza sostanza. Qui lavorate veramente, capendo gli esercizi, condividendoli con l’insegnante e gli altri studenti. Imparerete a conoscere il vostro corpo, a concentrarvi sui punti deboli e ogni volta che finirete una lezione, vi sentirete piu’ leggeri, piu’ forti e piu’ alti! Consigliamo anche i corsi per diventare insegnanti di Pilates e quelli di aggiornamento. E consigliamo soprattutto le classi con Kelly Kane, la fondatrice della Kane School, una insegnante davvero rara, brava, divertente e estremamente competente.
Description: Kinected, operated by Matt and Carrie McCulloch, and the Kane School, operated by Kelly Kane, are joining forces at 151 W. 19th Street, 2nd Floor, in New York! With complimentary backgrounds in the fitness, medical, and wellness arenas, Kinected and the Kane School are creating a center that will stand alone in its comprehensive approach to client health and instructor education.

La Didone
St. Ann’s Warehouse
38 Water St, DUMBO
www.stannswarehouse.org
Descrizione: Descrivere il lavoro dell’Wooster Group in poche righe non e’ affatto facile. Il gruppo di Elisabeth LeCompte produce da anni spettacoli importanti, che utilizzano vari media e in cui l’attore e’ uno degli elementi in scena. Una delle caratteristiche del gruppo e’ di presentare la loro versione di testi o opere conosciute. In questo caso si tratta de La Didone, un’opera barocca del 1641 scritta da Francesco Cavalli. La storia e’ quella di Enea che arriva sulle coste dell’Africa dopo una violenta tempesta. Attraverso questa storia, trasportata nel 21mo secolo, il gruppo ne approfitta per parlare del potere della passione erotica e della caparbieta’ della natura umana di fronte alla idea di annientamento.
Description: The Wooster Group returns to St. Ann’s Warehouse with Cavalli / Busenello’s baroque opera La Didone (1641), in which Aeneas, prince of Troy, lands on the shores of Africa after a violent sea storm. There he falls in love with Dido, queen of Carthage, and becomes entangled in a web of love, deception, power and madness. In Mario Bava’s 1965 cult movie Terrore nello spazio, the spaceship Argos crashes on the planet Aura, and its crew becomes locked in a desperate battle with zombies over the all-important “meteor rejector.” The Wooster Group stirs these two Italian cultural artifacts together, dropping Aeneas’ ships onto a forbidding planetary landscape, setting the lute alongside live electric guitar, blending acoustic and electronic space, and finding an unexpected synergy between early baroque opera and pre-moon landing sci-fi: A 21st-century retelling of an ancient tale about the destructive (and redemptive) power of erotic passion and the sheer tenacity of human nature in the face of annihilation.
Running Time: Approximately 90 Minutes

Women in jazz Festival 2009
April 24-26
Saint Peter’s Church
Web-Site: www.saintpeters.org/jazz
Descrizione: Abbiamo visto Cynthia Scott molti anni fa durante una jam session in Harlem. La sua voce e’ incredibile e il modo in cui interpreta le canzoni e’ proprio delle grandi cantanti del passato. Purtroppo non la vediamo spesso in giro ed e’ per questo che il concerto che terra’ il prossimo 26 aprile e’ davvero un’occasione unica e rara per conoscere una perla del canto jazz troppo poco conosciuta. Pensiamo che non ve ne pentirete… e anche se non foste completamente soddisfatti, il biglietto minimo (il prezzo suggerito e’ di 20 dollari) e l’esperienza di un concerto in questa chiesa, certamente vi ripagheranno. Ma siamo convinti che non avrete molte lamentele!
Description: International Women in Jazz (IWJ) and The Jazz Committee at Saint Peter’s Church/Midtown Arts Common present the Third Annual Women in Jazz Festival honoring Jazz Vocalist, Annie Ross and remembering Jazz Vocalist, Etta Jones (1928 - 2001). The festival includes live music presented by IWJ bands, jazz chorus and a jam session, a Business Panel for musicians, a Legends Panel at which Annie Ross will be interviewed and Etta Jones remembered. There will be a reception with live music. The Saturday evening concert will feature the Annie Ross Quintet. On Sunday evening after Jazz Vespers, the Cynthia Scott ensemble will perform in concert. IWJ bands will perform at both evening concerts.
Cynthia Scott got her start as a member of the highly acclaimed Ray Charles “Raelettes.” She holds a Master’s Degree from Manhattan School of Music and is on the vocal staff of the New School and City College as a private teacher. Cynthia has recorded 4 CD’s; the latest is “Dream for One Bright World.” She represented her country as Jazz Ambassador 2004 and was the first singer selected to travel abroad as a cultural exchange on the life of a Jazz Singer. She is a 1998 International Thelonious Monk Vocal Competition Finalist. Wynton Marsalis introduced her as “one of today’s finest jazz singers.” “Cynthia sings with remarkable smooth intonation that stands out for its quiet intensity..” (The Chicago Tribune)
