Shante Paradigm: News and Such

I'm writing, reading and listening for inspiration...It will be worth it, believe me.

thank you for all your support!

Right now, I seem to be chest-high in fun scholarly work--black performance, unpopular film and teh artist-scholar balance.

Earlier today, I got to do a Performance Studies panel with Tavia Nyong'o, Frank Leon Roberts and Marti Newland, it was organized by MA students Ellen Cleghorne and Eric Miles Glover. The panel was a discussion about black popular culture.

I conducted two workshops on Domestic Violence (or Intimate Partner Violence) and its Intersections. One was on LGBT issues and one on HIV/AIDS.

This was done as part of the Clinical Training Institute (CTI) of the CONNECT program. For more information see: www.connectnyc.org

Last night, I had the pleasure of performing with some great NYC artists: baron, Fucci, Noa D and Rose Royce at Outpost Lounge on the Bed-Stuy/Clinton Hill border. We roasted hot dogs, s'mores, and cigarettes over an open fire. It was good, chill vibes all around at this Autumnal Garden Party. Fucci and Noa D throw the Garden Party during the Summer, but wanted to give us one more to enjoy for 2007. Thanks for inviting me ladies!

Just got a little mention in GO NYC's August issue. Check me out:
