Diana Arnold in Monologues

Monologues, an evening of solo performances of monologues, spoken word and hip-hop, explores Jewish identity inspired by a 10-day trip through Israel. It is directed by the Hebrew Mamita (Vanessa Hidary) and written by Taglit-Birthright Israel alumni. All of the stories are original and told by their creators.

Diana told me about this video: "This was one of the first times I told a story instead of reading a poem. it is the story of the steps: the steps we all must climb...the steps it took for me to reach my father again."

Jeffrey Cyphers Wright plays David Byrne's Organ

Jeff told me about this video: "David Byrne's installation of an organ the was hooked up to pipes and vents in the Maritime Building was a perfect space for a guerilla performance. I decided to get a gang together and go down there and film a dance/ poetry performance. Afterwards we had a great time editing and splashing jumpcuts together. Finally Kim Keever and I used a pretty little ditty we'd laid down as a musical score for the event."
