In response to the WTC bombing, and to help bring the newly-being-rennovated C.U.A.N.D.O. performance space and arts venue to life, numerous New York performers are participating in this evening of dance.  Brian will be premiering a new work, yet to be titled.


There is also the possiblity of a CultureWorks benefit show for the WTC relief efforts, in Austin, TX.  More details as that possiblity becomes a reality.

Special thanks to all those who have passed on your thoughts, prayers, and wishes in these most monumentous times.  If there was ever a time for understanding the power of culture, now is that time.  Ultimately, that is CultureWorks' main purpose, understanding the power of culture and its' effect on our perceptions and behavior.  Any person or people interested in becoming part of CultureWorks, contact Brian Shapiro at bshapiro@cultureworksinc.org or (718) 496-9703.

Wishing all well, and look forward to seeing you at a performance soon.
