  • Triniy Church Organist George Dave<br />
<br />
In 1697, a little over 70 years after the Dutch settled New York as a trading post known as New Amsterdam, Trinity Church was granted a charter by King William III of England. Since then, Trinity has been an integral part of New York City. Today, Trinity Church and St. Paul's Chapel (just a few blocks north) are the cornerstones of Trinity Church Wall Street, a growing and vibrant Episcopal community.<br />
<br />
St. Paul's Chapel is a chapel building of Trinity Church, an episcopal parish, located at 209 Broadway, between Fulton Street and Vesey Street, in Lower Manhattan, New York City.  Built in 1766, it is the oldest surviving church building in Manhattan, and one of the nation's finest examples of Late Georgian church architecture.<br />
<br />
In 1960, the chapel was named a National Historic Landmark;it was also made a New York City Landmark and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966

  • Portrait of Mexican (smiling)  Acatlan folk  dancer, member of The Danza De Tecuanes Acatlan Puebla. He is holding craved wood mask and wearing large Sombero hat.<br />
<br />
The dance of the tecuanis is staged in the states of warrior and people, represents the work of the peasants when dismantling and preparing the planting and its fight against the tiger. Tecuanis pretend first to dedicate themselves to their labors, then narrate the tiger's outrages, making jocular improvised allusions about well-known people of the town, that provoke great rejoicing among the spectators, and the search for the animal begins until once the tiger hunts and dies. <br />
<br />
In this dance, the Chichimeca and Zapoteca tribes join forces to defeat the tiger, or Tecuani (Náhuatl for people eater) that attacks their flocks. They are led by the huehues (elders) Moranchi and Lucas, who wear red and blue hats, respectively.<br />
<br />
The Zapoteca and Chichimeca make two lines and dance and shout to the rhythm of the music.<br />
<br />
Besides them, there is a gallery of characters who help or hinder their efforts: the Devil, who tempts them; the Witch, who helps them with remedies; Death, who will ultimately kill the Tecuani. And there’s also a dog, a bull and a donkey.<br />
<br />
But the Tiger, or Tecuani, is the central figure in the dance. Much like the Devil in the traditional Christmas plays called pastorelas, though supposedly an intimidating character, he actually jokes around with the children and the rest of the audience. He wields a whip to go after his captors and get everyone to ridicule them.

  • Portrait of Mexican (smiling)  Acatlan folk  dancer, member of The Danza De Tecuanes Acatlan Puebla. He is holding craved wood mask and wearing large Sombero hat.<br />
<br />
The dance of the tecuanis is staged in the states of warrior and people, represents the work of the peasants when dismantling and preparing the planting and its fight against the tiger. Tecuanis pretend first to dedicate themselves to their labors, then narrate the tiger's outrages, making jocular improvised allusions about well-known people of the town, that provoke great rejoicing among the spectators, and the search for the animal begins until once the tiger hunts and dies. <br />
<br />
In this dance, the Chichimeca and Zapoteca tribes join forces to defeat the tiger, or Tecuani (Náhuatl for people eater) that attacks their flocks. They are led by the huehues (elders) Moranchi and Lucas, who wear red and blue hats, respectively.<br />
<br />
The Zapoteca and Chichimeca make two lines and dance and shout to the rhythm of the music.<br />
<br />
Besides them, there is a gallery of characters who help or hinder their efforts: the Devil, who tempts them; the Witch, who helps them with remedies; Death, who will ultimately kill the Tecuani. And there’s also a dog, a bull and a donkey.<br />
<br />
But the Tiger, or Tecuani, is the central figure in the dance. Much like the Devil in the traditional Christmas plays called pastorelas, though supposedly an intimidating character, he actually jokes around with the children and the rest of the audience. He wields a whip to go after his captors and get everyone to ridicule them.

  • There was an event at the end of March at the Westbeth Gallery on Bethune and West Streets.  The event was the opening of a five-woman art show, called “Worlds Seen and Unseen,” using all four rooms of the large gallery.  There were five distinct and very different styles of painting. <br />
<br />
Karin Batten’s smooth, accompllshed semi-abstracts, colorful and imaginative in scope, and holding within them some current troubling ideas such as the fouling of our oceans, are the most sophisticated.<br />
<br />
Then comes the two different styles of Carolyn Oberst.  The first style, colorful abstract patterns (many triangles) floating on a pale background.  The second style, with many human figures arranged on patterned backgrounds, has themes aboutmemory and the mind, and the processing of experience, possibly with the aid of a<br />
therapist.  These are among the “unseen” worlds in the show’s title.  So we, theviewers, are left with questions such as, What is being remembered?  Why is it important?  Who is this person or that person, in Oberst’s life and memory?<br />
<br />
Carolyn Golden pastes, meticulously, little scenes of just slightly off corners ofhomes.  Two huge eggs rest on a love seat, for example, and a tiny rowboat isstashed in a nearby corner.  And all of the scenes are framed in a homey green multiple frame which is part of the picture.  <br />
<br />
Maggie Hinders, who also curated this show, is another of the five artists; she paints very strong canvases with blatant stripes and great splashes of color, and the<br />
bizarrely happy faces of small animals smiling at the viewer.  Sometimes the bold yellow-and-black stripes seem a kind of prison for the animals. <br />
<br />
Finally, there is Barbara Rachko, whose very large and dark pictures, derived from Mexican folk art figures placed in everyday but bizarre settings.  She reproduces them with 25 to 30 layers of pastels, painted onto sandpaper.  The results are mystifying and somewhat Mexican-looking.  <br />
