Hebrew Mamita  |
Actress/Poet/Playwright/Native New Yorker Vanessa Hidary grew up on Manhattan's culturally diverse Upper West Side, graduating from LaGuardia High School of the Arts and Hunter College. Her experiences as a Sephardic Jew with close friends from different ethnic and religious backgrounds inspired her to write "Culture Bandit," a solo show that chronicles Vanessa's coming of age during the golden age of Hip-Hop and her dedication to fostering understanding and friendship between all people. |

Juez |
Juez is a breakbeat-klezmer-jazz band of Orthodox kids from D.C., Chicago and New York. The four-member ensemble's influences range from Yemenite niggunim to hip-hip; from John Zorn to DJ Shadow. Onstage, they resemble a punk band, with manic solos, frenzied interplay, audience call-and-responses and stage-diving. Juez is totally sweet! |

Frantic Turtle |
Frantic Turtle merges poetry, music, and performance into philosophically viral mixtures like existentialist dancehall, punk-prayer, and toasted jazz poetry. We're into strictly avant expression - the over-fed language of the urban god-piece. And jumpy grooves on the background to keep your ids dancing. www.myspace.com/franticturtle | ||||
