  Making Tutus is a practical guide to making these traditional costumes for classical ballet dancers. As with the tutu itself, the book approaches the task in three parts – the tutu plate, the bodice and the decorative sections. It shares the secrets of a leading costume-maker as it explains the challenging task of, on the one hand, creating a light and beautiful ballet outfit suitable for performance and, on the other, making a comfortable and hardwearing costume that suits a character. In doing so, it reveals the extraordinary talent and techniques required by the costume-maker.

  The Most Interesting Man in the...

  Born Vincent Capuccio on December 3, 1955, Vinnie Stigma—as his countless friends and fans lovingly refer to him—is the founder and guitarist of New York City's legendary hardcore band Agnostic Front. He's also one of the Big Apple's earliest punk rockers, having frequented such eclectic downtown haunts as Max's Kansas City, The Electric Circus, and of course, CBGB while it was still known as Hilly's on the Bowery during the early 1970s. 
   
   
   
  The Most Interesting Man in the World stretches from Vinnie's upbringing in Little Italy amongst the tight-knit Italian families, as well as some prominent wiseguys, to teaming up with Cuban-born vocalist Roger Miret to carry punk's angrier successor across the globe; from no-show jobs in his youth obtained by people who "protected" him, to lighting up some of the world's biggest stages. However, Vinnie Stigma is not your run-of-the-mill rocker of many decades. He has dabbled in cooking, professional wrestling, acting, martial arts, yoga, and other creative disciplines. He is a father and a cancer survivor who helped pioneer skinhead and tattoo culture in America, and has mentored hundreds of fledgling musicians and artists. 
   
   
   
  The Most Interesting Man in the World is a journey through a life unlike any other. No one sees or experiences the world quite like Vinnie Stigma.

  Christopher Columbus and the...

  "Christopher Columbus and the Afrikan Holocaust," by John Henrik Clarke, shatters the hero's-journey narrative surrounding Columbus, exposing him as an architect of exploitation. The book recasts the "discovery" of America as a brutal invasion, paving the way for centuries of Indigenous suffering and laying the groundwork for the African Holocaust – the transatlantic slave trade. 
   
  Clarke argues that neither Indigenous nor African subjugation was incidental. Instead, they were calculated moves fueled by insatiable European greed. The book deconstructs the myth of benevolent colonization, revealing its core as a resource-hungry machine reliant on forced labor and extraction. This system, christened "European capitalism," thrived on the dehumanization and exploitation of entire populations. 
   
  Clarke doesn't merely paint a grim picture; he also illuminates resistance. He highlights the agency of colonized peoples, their unwavering fight for freedom despite unimaginable suffering. This Pan-Africanist perspective weaves together the struggles of both Indigenous and African peoples, demonstrating the interconnectedness of global oppression. 
   
  Beyond historical analysis, the book serves as a potent call to action. Clarke urges readers to confront the legacies of colonialism and slavery, dismantling the very systems that perpetuate inequality. He doesn't shy away from uncomfortable truths, demanding critical examination of narratives that continue to shape our understanding of the world. 
   
  This book is not for the faint of heart. It confronts sensitive historical events with unflinching honesty, potentially exposing readers to disturbing descriptions of violence and oppression. Yet, through its unflinching analysis and unwavering call for justice, "Christopher Columbus and the Afrikan Holocaust" offers a crucial roadmap for navigating the complex legacies of the past and building a more equitable future.

  Remission

  This is a full recording of Daniel Martin Berkey performing the play Remission, which Backstage magazine called "mind-blowing" and NYTheater called "90 intense and harrowing minutes of spectacular wordplay." Written by playwright Kirk Wood Bromley ("Shakespeare on mushrooms" - LA Weekly), produced by NYC's Inverse Theater (“Best Downtown Theater Company" - NYPress 2001), scored by John Gideon, and originally performed by Berkey himself in the NYC Fringe Festival in 2009 (winning "Outstanding Solo Show"), Remission tells the story of Berkey’s journey into and out of schizophrenia in dramatic verse that one reviewer termed "a terrifying, violent freefall into insanity" (JustShowsToGoYou). 
  With his symptoms beginning at age six, Berkey experienced a spectrum of challenges, including berating voices and haunting visions, paranoia and catatonia, and addiction to sex, heroin, and alcohol. Then, at the age of 51, homeless and deranged, while walking along a freeway on Long Island, he saw a vision – a giant golden cube suspended in the sky from which emanated 3000 winged humanoid figures beckoning him to join them in the World Self. Awaking from the splendor, he walked home, flushed his medications, and has been symptom-free ever since. 
  And while this journey is central to Remission's narrative, the play is more than a retelling. With each line, the play "stretches, exercises, jolts, and exalts the audience" (NYTheater) by immersing it in an experience of actually having schizophrenia, creating a "one-of-a-kind, undiluted and unforgettable trip into the crazy." (JustShowsToGoYou).
