HERE/NOW Festival

$28/25

THE Z SPACE STUDIO presents the HERE/NOW Festival of live
performances celebrating the vitality and promise of the progressive
vision for America in September at the Project Artaud Theater. The
HERE/NOW Festival is a liberating theatrical exploration of politics,
thought, faith, and the state of the planet, that opens with Scoop
Nisker's BE HERE WOW : the crazy wisdom show on Sunday, September 4,
at 7 p.m., and continues (performing in repertory) with Nina Wise's
NOW WHAT? a performance salon opening on Wednesday, September 7, at 8
p.m. in the Project Artaud Theater. The HERE/ NOW Festival also
features a Next Series with works-in-progress appearances by Josh
Kornbluth, and others.

HERE/NOW pairs two vastly different performers and asks them each to
examine the world, its past, and our current state of affairs. Scoop
Nisker's BE HERE WOW : the crazy wisdom show goes inward and takes a
journey through history both global and personal, wandering from the
beginnings of time to the radical 60's and to present day.
Meanwhile, Nina Wise works from now, taking the simple question NOW
WHAT? and asking it of people from all walks of life, distilling
their answers into an evening of improvisational theater. Nina's
guests range from Arianna Huffington (9/11); Jodie Evans and Medea
Benjamin, the founders of CodePink (9/7); Luke Cole, director of The
Center on Race, Poverty & the Environment (9/14); Van Jones, the Ella
Baker Center for Human Rights (9/18to Dr. James Gordon and Dr.
Michael Lerner (9/9); Bokara Legendre (9/21); and Dr. Daniel Siegel
(9/24).


Scoop Nisker's BE HERE WOW: the crazy wisdom show runs Thursday and
Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m., September 4-25, & Friday
9/23 (previews Sept. 1 & 3 at 8 p.m.). Nina Wise's NOW WHAT? runs
Wednesday and Friday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 7 p.m., September 7-23,
