1/2/10 Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana @ David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center

Saturday, January 2, 2010 at 11:00am




Lincoln Center
David Rubenstein Atrium
(Broadway between 62nd and 63rd Streets)
New York, NY
Cost: Free
For all ages

Under the direction of Carlota Santana, these magical dancers, singers, and musicians will celebrate flamenco in all its pride, passion, honor, love, and sorrow. Audience members are welcome to express themselves with opportunities to dance, clap, and even shout!

The fiery music and splendid pageantry of flamenco originated in Andalusia, a province in southern Spain, having evolved from the interactions of many cultures over several centuries. The unique interplay among Moors, Jews, Andalusians, and Gypsies has shaped this expressive and culturally-rich folkloric genre. Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana, founded in 1983, has continued to revel in the traditions of flamenco while bridging today's cultures throughout the world.

Ikea Soft Toys AID Campaign: Create Your Own Animated Singing Animal!

Ikea, Save the Children and Unicef have teamed up to raise educational funding for kids with a fun interactive campaign. Although the fundraising will be done in Canada, you can still join in on the fun. You or your kids can easily personalize a dancing Ikea animal. We chose the mouse princess with the pink background!



Go to this following site and click on the big red cloud/blob on the bottom right hand side:



Step 1  Choose animal





Step 2  Record
(Make your animal dance while singing along to the words of the song. Don’t worry if you sing bad...that part isn’t recorded, only the movements are being saved.)


Step 3  Save
(Enter your name and country. Search through the animals and find the one you created. If you can’t find it immediately, click on an animal on the extreme right or left hand side and that will pull over another set of animals to check through.)


You can share your dancing animal via Facebook, myspace, twitter or delicious.


If you create an animal and would like to share it with us, please post a comment and tell us which animal you chose and its name!

About the Soft Toys AID campaign:


IKEA, UNICEF and SAVE THE CHILDREN ask Canadians to help children around the world gain access to education.


Annual ‘$1 is a Fortune’ holiday campaign seeks to raise funds for children’s education globally 


Burlington, Ontario - October 28, 2009 - For many children around the world, $1 is a fortune. It can help them gain access to an education and lead to a better life. Between November 1 and December 24, 2009, IKEA Canada will donate $1 for every soft toy sold at its 11 locations to UNICEF Canada and Save the Children. As part of the IKEA Social Initiative, the funds raised through the annual ‘$1 is a Fortune’ campaign’ will help fund educational projects in more than 30 countries around the world. IKEA continues to be the largest corporate donor to both UNICEF and Save the Children globally.


“IKEA believes that children around the world should have a healthy and secure childhood, and the opportunity to receive a quality education,” said Kerri Molinaro, President of IKEA Canada. “Our co-workers and customers can take pride in the fact that by purchasing soft toys here in Canada will make a real difference in communities around the world.”


New this year to the ‘$1 is a Fortune’ campaign, is Soft Toys Aid, an interactive component housed on the IKEA website, representing a cuddlier version of the famed eighties concert, ‘Live Aid’. Soft Toys Aid will offer online users the opportunity to sing alongside IKEA soft toys in an attempt to create the world’s biggest choir. With a simple click, users can select a soft toy character to represent them and control its dance movements to raise awareness of the program. For more information, please visit www.IKEA.ca.


The funds raised during the 2009 soft toy campaign will benefit UNICEF projects in several countries including: Albania, Bangladesh, China, Côte d’Ivoire, India, Pakistan, Russia, Sierra Leone, Vietnam and many more. The funds will also support a Save the Children project that works to promote the rights of children with disabilities living in the city of Vyborg, Russia, to a quality education.


”We are extremely proud of our continued partnership with IKEA.,” said Leanne Nicolle, Director of Corporate Development, for UNICEF Canada. “This partnership is helping us in our efforts to improve access to education for children in countries around the world. We look forward to building on these programs with IKEA and making the world a better place for children everywhere.”


"IKEA’s partnership with Save the Children helps us provide many children around the world with a happy, healthy and secure childhood," says David Morley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Save the Children Canada. “The 2009 ‘$1 is a Fortune’ campaign will allow us to continue providing better education and health care to children around the world – and making a lasting difference to them and their communities.”


Last year IKEA Canada sold more than 140,000 soft toys. These sales helped the IKEA Group globally donate $8.6 million CAD to UNICEF and Save the Children (a joint fund-raising venture). The funds helped to provide equal access and quality education in a child-friendly environment for all girls and boys. By ensuring all children have access to education, it becomes possible to build the knowledge necessary to combat disease and eradicate poverty and hunger. Since 2003, the IKEA Group has raised a total of €16.7 million worldwide ($26.5 million Canadian) for children in need.

Global Weekends: Kwanzaa Spirit 2009!
Public Programs/Education presents
In Association with Community Works and New Heritage Theatre Group


Kwanzaa Spirit 2009! is an all-day celebration honoring the seven African-based principles of Kwanzaa (called Nguzo Saba in Swahili) featuring an international marketplace and performances of song, dance, and spoken word.
Since its inception in 1966, Kwanzaa is an annual celebration founded to salute African origin and African-American life and heritage. The seven “life” principles of Kwanzaa serve as a compass for the programs of the day: Umoja (Unity), Kujichagulia (Self-determination), Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), Nia (Purpose), Kuumba (Creativity), and Imani (Faith). Kwanzaa Spirit 2009! features African and African-American visual and performing artists, craftsmen and women, and community organizations who demonstrate the Seven Principles of Kwanzaa (Nguzo Saba).

Schedule of Events:
12pm  The Marketplace opens 

1 – 4:30pm  Main stage performances

1 – 2:30pm
Umoja (Unity)
The Unity Processional: An array of dancers, drummers, singers and stilt walkers will begin the celebration with a processional that symbolizes a universal call for unity and world peace. The audience will then be led in a traditional African Libation Ceremony by Artistic Director James Stovall of Community Works and New Heritage Theatre Group.


Kujichagulia (Self-determination)
The mission of inspiring young people with self-determination and empowerment has been the goal of the ADLIB International Steel Drum Orchestra since their founding in 1996. Based in the musical traditions of Trinidad and Tobago, this prize-winning orchestra of young musicians has been successfully nurtured in the art of steel drumming. Their presentation will express a diversity of styles including calypso, sosa, and jazz.


Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility)
Arts organizations in Brooklyn have garnered numerous awards and accolades for training thousands of children and youth in the creative and performing arts. Outstanding among them is Restoration Dance Theatre Company from Bedford-Stuyvesant, under the artistic direction of Karen Thornton-Daniels, which performs traditional African dance with great exuberance and discipline.


2:30 – 3pm
Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics)
An annual highlight of the Kwanzaa celebration is the community of support given to craftsmen, visual artists, vendors, and community organizations through the Marketplace.


3 – 4:30pm
Nia (Purpose)
With a 12-year history of educating and bringing purpose to the lives of young people through the arts, IMPACT Repertory Theatre has raised a harvest of young professionals and community leaders. In 2008, they were honored as nominees for an Academy Award for their participation in the feature film, August Rush. As witnessed by their performance of their song RAISE IT UP at the Oscar ceremony, they continue to touch audiences through their dynamic presentations of music, dance, and spoken word.


Kuumba (Creativity)
Performing for local and national audiences, Vy Higginsen’s Gospel for Teens Choir brings down the house every time they perform. Their natural creative talents have been trained and skillfully articulated as they pay homage to the African-American art form of gospel music. These young artists sing with impeccable vitality and spirit.


Imani (Faith)
“We’ve come this far by faith” is a theme and song that represents the amazing survival of African-Americans throughout the world. Director/Choreographer Obediah Wright & Balance Dance Theatre pay tribute to the African and African-American experience with a 10th anniversary presentation of their acclaimed masterpiece, Higher Ground, Still Rising. This highly praised production, written and directed by Mr. Wright, inspires universal hope for the future!


This event is co-produced by Community Works and New Heritage Theatre Group, under the artistic direction of James Stovall. The Marketplace is organized by the Harlem Arts Alliance.

For the first time, the MTA’s regional rolling stock of Metro-North, Long Island Rail Road, commuter trains and New York City Subway cars will operate on the same bi-level 34-foot long layout, traveling through a Manhattan cityscape towards Santa’s workshop at the North Pole.

These model railroad commuter and subway cars represent the latest in the growing fleet of MTA-licensed, Lionel manufactured rolling stock complete with illuminated interiors, station announcements, end route destination signs, and doors that open and close. As an added bonus, New York Central and Pennsylvania Railroad railcars will also be included in the layout’s rolling stock. Offering a close up look at classic trains, Lionel Trains from the Museum’s Lawrence Scripps Collection of Vintage Trains will also be on static display in Plexiglas cases lining the gallery walls.
