Still Standing    is an intimate portrayal of the challenges faced by Katrina
survivors as they rebuild their lives in New York City and in New Orleans.
Still Standing puts a human face to the stories of corruption and
incompetence that jeopardize the lives and well-being of Katrina survivors
six months after the storm. Daina is a single mother looking for housing,
employment and the chance to reunite with her children; while Bilal's
post-Katrina experiences drive him to become politically active. Bilal's
mother, Ms. Gertrude, is a New Orleans homeowner caught in a real estate
frenzy. Still Standing reveals familiar issues in American urban
communities: the neglect of poor and minority neighborhoods, the
inadequacy of public assistance to provide long-term solutions and the
struggles necessary to bring about positive change.

Thursdays 4:30-7:30p:  Youth Theatre y Algo Más: Youth from Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn converge at Art for Change on Thursdays. From 4:30-7:30 the space becomes a laboratory for collaborative, issue-based original theater in Spanish and English. Gathering inspiration from international playwrights and theater practitioners (such as Migdalia Cruz, Teatro Campesino, Augusto Boal, Maria Irene Fornes and others) the troupe is working on creating an outdoor political performance piece to be debuted in May in a public arts festival. The pieces developed out of discussions about power and revolve around interpersonal relationships, family issues, street life and immigration. Please contact Kira at youth_theater@artforchange.org for any questions, or if you're a young person who would like to get involved.

NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, all our events take place at 1699 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10029.  We are between 106 and 107 street, basement north.
