Looking for an occasional dog-walker

2012-02-08T11:46:00.000-05:00

Hello!

I'm looking for a dog-walker in Ditmas Park/Midwood (near Foster & E. 18th Street) for a 40-lb, 1 year old, shepherd-dingo mix named "Charlie". She is very friendly, ridiculously cute, and walks well on a leash (but likes to sniff everything). If you are a runner, charlie is a great furry running buddy.

I'll need help every now and again on weekday afternoons (anytime between 11am - 4pm) or weekday evenings (anytime after 5pm, before 8pm). This would not be a very regular gig (maybe 5 or so walks a month?). I can pay up to $15 for a 30 minute walk, and $30 for an hour walk.

If you or anyone you know is available/experienced, please let me know! email: onebluedoor@gmail.com and leave a phone number.

Thanks muchly,

Meredith (and Charlie)

Media Advisory: Media Literacy Comes to Brooklyn Public Library

2012-02-07T21:08:00.001-05:00

Media Literacy Comes to Brooklyn Public Library

LA Times journalist teaches free workshops on how, why news is made

BROOKLYN, NY: The LAMP (Learning About Multimedia Project) and the Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) are holding a series of free media literacy workshops during the spring. Designed to build critical thinking and basic media production skills, the workshops will be available to youth, parents and families at branches throughout the borough.

"We are thrilled to be working with the BPL to bring our unique brand of media literacy to a wider audience," said D.C. Vito, Executive Director of The LAMP. "We think it's really important for families to work together in learning how media shape our lives. At the same time, we know this can be a real challenge for families and schools that are already stretched thin, and so we're grateful for the opportunity to offer workshops for free."

Workshops will cover a range of topics within digital and media literacy, such as how and why news stories are reported in different ways, and how messages in advertising, television and other media can affect the way people think. Other workshops will cover Healthy Digital Relationships, teaching young people how to interact with others online, maintain privacy, grow friendships and use the Internet to find a job, go to school or get involved in local community issues. In some workshops, hands-on activities will also lead participants to create their own media projects.

"It is so important for our patrons to learn how to think critically about media," said Judy Kamilhor, Coordinator of Digital Literacy Outreach at Brooklyn Public Library. "That means that they not only need to know what questions to ask about what they see and hear in ads, movies, TV shows, music and the Internet, but they also need to know how to use those media to create their own media for learning and personal expression."

Workshop facilitators are frequently veterans of the media industry, such as Paul Brownfield, who spent a decade writing for the Los Angeles Times. "I think media literacy has never been more important as a concept for everyone," said Brownfield. "Working with young people through the Brooklyn Public Library to think about the technology and news they consume and live with, and interact with it in a different way, as The LAMP would have them do, is a very valuable mission."

A complete listing of workshops offered by The LAMP with the Brooklyn Public Library can be found on the events calendar at brooklynpubliclibrary.org and thelampnyc.org/programs. Interested parties should contact their library branch directly for more information.

About The LAMP:

The LAMP (Learning About Multimedia Project) is a non-profit organization bringing free media literacy workshops to youth, parents, families and educators throughout New York City as part of a grassroots effort to reform and improve media through education. Founded in September 2007 by community organizer D.C. Vito and Katherine Fry, Ph.D., professor of media studies at Brooklyn College, The LAMP's workshops have drawn over 700 participants at schools, community centers and library throughout New York City. Visit The LAMP online at http://www.thelampnyc.org.

About Brooklyn Public Library:

Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) is an independent library system for the 2.5 million residents of Brooklyn. It is the fifth largest library system in the United States with 60 neighborhood libraries. BPL offers free programs and services for all ages and stages of life, including a huge selection of books in more than 30 languages, author talks, job search help, literacy programs, public computers and the largest WiFi network in the borough.

LOST GREY CAT

2012-02-03T14:23:00.001-05:00

We have lost our grey, female, adult cat named Pearl. She has yellow eyes and has not been spayed. She was lost in central Flatbush, on East 21st Street between Caton and Woodruff. If you find her, please call 516 263 3860. Thank you so much.

Anybody lost a large, long-haired, black/white tuxedo cat?

2012-02-03T10:36:00.001-05:00

Is anybody looking for a large, long-haired, black and white tuxedo cat? All black with white nose and throat. He has been sighted around the neighborhood and seems skittish and scared of strangers, but I think he once belonged to somebody and is not a feral.

I saw him last night racing south through the intersection of Cortelyou Road and E. 16th St (fortunately unscathed - this time) and people have seem him in other locations. Given the wide range of his roaming, I don't think anybody has taken him in.

Please email honeywood5@yahoo.com for more information.

Thanks.

Looking for an apartment share...

2012-02-02T18:00:00.001-05:00

I'm looking for an apartment in the Ditmas/Kensington area for March 1 (flexible), ideally in a shared house (rather than an apartment) -- maybe even something with some outdoor space!

I'm a young professional/academic who is clean, quiet, and fiscally responsible. I've lived in Brooklyn for many years, and in NYC for a majority of my life. I like cycling, cooking, music, and many other things that we Brooklyn folk are normally into. I shop at the Park Slope Food Coop, don't play an instrument, and spend most of my days at the library or my office working on my thesis. I like to think I'm easy to live with and would be happy to provide references attesting to this fact.

If you've got a room opening up in March (or maybe a bit sooner, or a bit later), don't hesitate to give me a shout!

large room in 4br townhouse with artsy roommates

2012-01-29T22:10:00.001-05:00

Hello! I am moving out of my 16'x11' bedroom on 2nd floor of 4BR / 2.5 bath limestone row house in Ditmas Park. I need someone to sublet for the remainder of my lease, which runs until April 1, but to be fair to the roommates who are still living there you must be willing to stay on past then as well. Which I am sure you will once you check the house out and meet the other roommates!

Your bedroom has a bay window with view of leafy backyard (which will be covered in ornamental cherry blossoms come May), a walk-in closet and smaller normal-sized closet. High ceilings and old-house details, hardwood floors. Washer and dryer in basement. First floor has foyer, kitchen, a huge living room with bay windows, and a dining room with sliding glass doors exiting into the backyard. The living room is furnished, but because of its size there's space for additional furniture if you want to bring yours.

Exclusive, fenced-in backyard for summer BBQs, gardening, etc.

The house is located on E23rd St. between Newkirk and Ditmas Aves., ~8 minute walk from Newkirk B/Q and 2/5 subways. Also right next to the B41, B48 and B8 bus routes.

Loc'n at edge of Caribbean neighborhood with excellent cheap eats. C-town grocery around the corner has great Asian sauces and Jamaican curry selection.

CORRECTION: THIS EVENT IS CANCELLED (Winter Jam 2012)

2012-01-26T17:30:00.001-05:00

**Please note that this event has been cancelled due to weather.

STATEMENT FROM PARKS COMMISSIONER ADRIAN BENEPE

ON THE CANCELLATION OF WINTER JAM 2012

“We are disappointed to have to announce that due to the unusually warm weather, the Parks Department made the hard decision to cancel Winter Jam 2012, originally scheduled for Saturday, February 4^th in Prospect Park. It is simply too warm to make snow, and the long-range weather forecasts and current ground temperatures make it extremely unlikely that snow could be made.

Winter Jam has been an official NYC Parks tradition for the past ten years, and has afforded thousands of New Yorkers the opportunity to try out winter sports for free. We are grateful to our partners at the Olympic Regional Development Authority, Lake Placid, I Love NY, and other sponsors for their continued support of this one-of-a-kind event, and I encourage everyone to take advantage of the outdoors this month by visiting one of the six skating rinks in City parks, or checking out a nature program offered by the Urban Park Rangers. For New Yorkers who are really missing the snow this season, I hope you’ll consider a trip to one of New York State’s great ski areas. And for those who crave exercise in a warmer environment, our indoor recreation centers are also open for use.”

PLEASE LIST through February 4, 2012

"IN THE VOICE OF OUR MOTHERS" a riveting play at EMJC - SAT 1/28 at 7:30pm

2012-01-25T22:41:00.001-05:00

The Show

****************

"In The Voice of Our Mothers" is a powerful play that breathes life into ancient texts, told this time from the point of view of the women. Intimate, powerful, and personal narratives of our Biblical matriarchs, told vividly as imagined by renowned playwright and director Carol Fox Prescott. Although based on Sacred Texts, the play transcends its setting while its characters become Everywoman, talking with her neighbors, confiding in her friends about real life challenges and day to day living. Sarah may be sharing her shifting feelings for Abraham and Isaac, and yes, even God, but she could just as easily be a woman of today, talking about her beloved—because life as we know it, with all of its subtleties and complications, happens again and again and again.

The Audience Buzz

*************************

"Startling and Provocative"

"The matriarchs' stories brought me closer to my humanness, my yearning for love and connection, my ongoing grappling with faith, belief, and spirit, with roles, with life in this world, with my becoming more fully myself…."– Audience member

"This is an event for people of any faith, or none; for men as well as for women; for mature teens as well as elders. I have seen men crying at these performances, because their own buried longing for spirit, for reconciliation, for peace and understanding, for wholeness made itself known. The dialogue after the performance yielded the connection, and some of the answers, they were seeking. For those of us present, there is the possibility that in being together, we can be carried to a place we would not come to alone."– Rev. Perri Ardman, interfaith minister

"I loved getting into the hearts and souls of these iconic women." Audience Member

"Changed my view of religion, the Bible, women, and myself." Audience Member

"I loved the mix of ancient tales that became close because they were told in a very contemporary way that is at the same time ageless!!"– Shoshanna

Strike Anywhere Presents "Same River" on Hydro-Fracking @ Irondale, Feb 23 - March 3

2/23: "SAME RIVER" ON HYDRO-FRACKING @ IRONDALE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE/LISTINGS REQUEST

STRIKE ANYWHERE'S SAME RIVER ON NYC'S ENDANGERED WATER PREMIERES FEBRUARY 23, 2012

NIGHTLY POST-SHOW TOWN HALL DISCUSSIONS

"SAME RIVER" is a multi-media, interview-based, improvised production. As hydro-fracking is poised to affect NYC's water supply, "Same River" brings the upstate war over this controversial method of drilling downstream. Strike Anywhere Performance Ensemble, whose production of "10 Brecht Poems" was heralded by the Village Voice as "poignant and appreciated," will premiere "SAME RIVER" starting February 23, 2012 and run until March 3, 2012 at the Irondale Center on 85 S. Oxford St. Brooklyn, NY 11217. Tickets $20-$40 ($15 tickets Wed/Thurs only). Shows Thursday-Saturday 2/23-2/25 and Wednesday-Saturday 2/29-3/3 at 8PM; student matinee at 1PM on Friday March 2nd, 2012. Tix: 866-811-4111 or www.irondale.org

Including live music, modern dance, physical theater, and video, this improvised show will be different every night. Following each show, there will be a tightly facilitated "town hall" discussion on the issues the piece presents. Experts will be on hand to propel the conversation.

Audience members will experience a visual art installation upon entry to the theater. The artwork is the result of a seven-week residency at nearby Brooklyn High School for the Arts with the science, theater and technical theater classes. Art work will also be developed during a community art-making day for families on February 11 at 2:00 PM at Irondale Center (ages 6 and up).

Strike Anywhere Performance Ensemble began to develop SAME RIVER in July 2010 as part of the North American Cultural Laboratory's (NACL) Catskill Festival of New Theater. During this 10-day residency, Strike Anywhere interviewed local residents about water and researched community water issues. Now, as the decision to lift the moratorium on fracking in New York creeps nearer, Strike Anywhere seeks to engage the Fort Greene neighborhood in this discussion. The ensemble will trace the path of Brooklyn's water supply and illuminate the struggles of communities upstate which are in the thick of the gas-leasing gold rush. Interviews with Brooklyn residents will examine their relationship to water, their knowledge of local water issues and their familiarity with fracking. The piece seeks to draw connections, to give voice to multiple viewpoints and to acknowledge that we are all downstream, that the earth's water supply is all the same river.

Established in 1997, STRIKE ANYWHERE is a permanent ensemble of world-class jazz musicians, modern dancers, and actors. Known for their use of SOUNDPAINTING, the live composing sign language, the ensemble creates art in the moment, allowing intuition, the sounds of the room and audience suggestion to shape what they play. SA performances always feature live music, physical theater and modern dance. The company applies structures and concepts from American jazz to their inter-disciplinary improvisations to create performances that are provocative and alive. Strike Anywhere has toured nationally and internationally. The company was in residence at The Zipper Factory and St. Clements developing new works. It has appeared at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the American Airlines Theatre, The Irondale Center, P.S. 122, Theatre for the New City, and HERE Arts Center. Additionally Strike Anywhere has been featured on Radio France, NPR, WBAI and German Public Radio.

Irondale was created by Jim Niesen, Terry Greiss and Barbara Mackenzie-Wood, in 1983. Through the power of the ensemble process, Irondale creates and presents theater, performance, and education programs that challenge traditional assumptions about art, and help us to better understand today's world. The Irondale Center is the company's theater, laboratory, and classroom. It is also home for ensemble artists of all disciplines and cultures.

Local College-Educated Babysitter Available

2012-01-18T19:56:00.001-05:00

Hi Neighbors,

I'm a 27-year-old woman looking to gain some experience caring for young children. I currently work at the Food Bank for NYC. Prior to that I worked as an office manager at a local trade union for four years, after graduating from Mount Holyoke College with a degree in history in 2007. I'm originally from rural Minnesota, but moved to the Kensington/Ditmas Park area right after college. My childcare experience is somewhat limited - I have a 1.5 year old nephew who I have looked after on occasion. But I love kids, and they seem to like me, and I'd like to learn more about them, and even see if I'd like my own one day. I'd be happy to help with homework and do light cleaning when necessary. I also have experience volunteering at an animal shelter - Bideawee - in Manhattan. So caring for dogs, cats, or any other pets would be my pleasure!

I'm more than happy to provide personal and professional references, to help assure you that I'm a very mature, responsible, and caring person. If hired, I would charge $15 for the first hour and $10 for each additional hour, but compensation is certainly negotiable depending upon circumstances. I'm available Monday through Friday from 5:30pm to Midnight, and any time Saturday or Sunday.

If interested, feel free to contact me via email at kayla.ditmaspk@gmail.com.

Brooklyn, NY: Roulette presents DANCEroulette, a five night festival of performing artists working within movement, sound, spatial design, visual cacophony, choreography, improvisation, ephemeriality, and theatrical re-imagining. These 15 New York-based dance artists arrive at dance and performance through various points of view, and each evening will host three performances of diverse results. Roulette has presented dance since it's earliest days, and is happy to offer artists a larger space to present their work. Viewing dance in the context of a music venue confronts the way we watch music and listen to movement, the similarities and differences of the forms.

U.S. Premiere Multimedia Concert of Olivier Messiaen’s Modern Orchestral Masterpiece DES CANYONS AUX ÉTOILES To Be Performed by the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra at Roulette in Downtown Brooklyn

2012-01-17T15:21:00.001-05:00

U.S. Premiere Multimedia Concert of Olivier Messiaen's Modern Orchestral Masterpiece

DES CANYONS AUX ÉTOILES

To Be Performed by the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra at Roulette in Downtown Brooklyn

DES CANYONS AUX ÉTOILES

The Hamburg Symphony Orchestra

with conductor Jeffrey Tate, piano soloist Francesco Tristano, and video installation by Daniel Landau

Monday, January 23, 2012, at 8:00PM, $20

at Roulette (509 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn, NY)

On Monday, January 23, 2012, the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra, with Chief Conductor Jeffrey Tate, will perform a new multimedia concert of Olivier Messiaen's modern orchestral masterpiece Des canyons aux étoiles (From the Canyons to the Stars) at Roulette in downtown Brooklyn, one of New York's newest venues for adventurous contemporary music and new media performances.

Olivier Messiaen's 1974 Des canyons aux étoiles (From the Canyons to the Stars) was commissioned for Lincoln Center by Alice Tully to commemorate the American Bicentennial.

In 2010, the Hamburg Symphony presented the first concert with the modern video presentation created by acclaimed Israeli visual artist and composer Daniel Landau, who has taken Messiaen's spacious, picturesque tableaux of nature and the divine as starting points for a cautionary essay on humanity's looming destruction of our fragile world.

The Hamburger Abendblatt said it had "the emotional intensity, visual power and bewildering complexity of a true myth."

Chief Conductor Jeffrey Tate says, "The production is a total event. Particularly in the context of a work that was actually commissioned for America, it seems wonderful to be able to bring this work back to America enriched, we hope, with this extraordinary visual element as well." The conductor describes the evening as "a mix of a walk through a modern art exhibition and a concert."

Three screens suspended above the orchestra display Landau's haunting visions of creatures venturing from primeval landscape into dystopian vistas. The filmed elements — which have shades of directors David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick, Godfrey Reggio (Koyaanisqatsi) and music videos — are controlled by Landau during the performance. He also created modern depictions of the Catholic images and ideas that permeate Messiaen's work.

The work is scored for a small but diverse orchestra of 44 musicians with a formidable percussion section that includes a wind machine and a geophone (Messiaen's own invention), a metal drum with swirling pellets inside. The ensemble presents unique logistical and acoustical challenges, yet will fit Roulette's flexible space well.

The piano soloist in this concert is Francesco Tristano, an artist who is no stranger to unusual repertoire and alternative venues. This young pianist and composer has appeared at Le Poisson Rouge with pianist Bruce Brubaker and collaborated with Detroit techno legend Carl Craig.

Tonight @ Sycamore Bar: Toli & Adventures of Femm Nameless feat Val INC.+ Derek Reese

MUSIC @ 9:30PM
DEREK REESE
SINGING GUITARIST

Derek Reese
In May of 2011, Performer Magazine reviewed Derek Reese. They called his self-title debut album, "Heart and soul, to the tune of music. The great thing about the album is that each element – the drums, the guitars, and the vocals – is distinct, but they meld together at all the right moments to create a cohesive sound." Written by Emily Taylor. As for a bio; Brooklyn, NY native, Derek Reese has marinated in the experience of life for sometime. His voice, percussive guitar grooves are something to be heard not explained. He's had a career in music starting at the tender age of 10 years old on drums and vocals, with circulation on MTV. He has most recently played to sold out houses on double billings with legendary artist such as The Last Poets and Doug E. Fresh. He's working on his second solo release and spring tour to Europe. Like all nourishments that are worth the wait, the music of Derek Reese will get you in the mood for a perfect day.

Choose Your Own Reality Workshop, Saturday 1/14 3-5pm

2012-01-07T20:34:00.001-05:00

Remember those Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books that allowed the reader to choose the protagonist's next step? What if you could LIVE as that protagonist instead of just reading about someone else's journey? What if life was one big live-action Choose-Your Own-Adventure? Led by the interactive performance ensemble Playing with Reality, this workshop begins with several exercises that create a safe, nonjudgmental space and teach the fundamentals of interactive improvisation. Workshop participants will then step into the role of the protagonist of personalized, improvised stories that they get to co-create on the spot. By remembering how we played make believe as kids, we can learn valuable, real-life lessons about the choices we make, the connections we nurture (or neglect), and the challenges we can ultimately overcome.
