Thank you for a great Festival.
We look forward to seeing you June 13-27, 2009!
Here is a bit of news that should be of interest to Festival Fans regarding artists and thinkers who have been part of past Festivals.
This year’s prestigious Man Booker Prize figures into the lives of both Salaman Rushdie AND Sebastian Barry. You will remember that Rushdie was in New Haven for the Festival in 2005. [...]
Watching Liz Lerman speak to New Haven on June 19 was a proud moment for me. For months I had had the privilege of supporting her and the Dance Exchange in creating 613 Radical Acts of Prayer. There were many car rides, walks through town from meeting to workshop to rehearsal, endless to-do lists, emails [...]

VideoBlog: Mary Lou’s Festival Memories & Future AnnouncementsWe have shared a world of arts, ideas and emotions in just 15 days. And while the banners and the stage may be tucked away for another year, the festival lives on. Personally, I can’t get enough of this year’s festival. There are moments I want to visit and revisit. There are moments and events that I missed entirely and want to recapture. The magic of Festival making, unfortunately, has not translated into the capacity to be in more than one place at a time. I am so happy we have our dedicated video bloggers still at work to bring us moments and memories from this 2008 Festival. Here is one of my favorites—Pistolera and Grupo Fantasma—that night the weather sent us indoors but the dancing kept us going well into the night. Check it out. There are many memorable moments from this year’s Festival already online. See yourself celebrating with us. Visit our calendar regularly for a schedule of video postings throughout the summer. Look for an announcement soon about the release of our great thinkers sharing great ideas from our Ideas programs.

Coming Soon: Our Ideas Series!
On June 28, the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange and hundreds of citizen-dancers converged on the New Haven Green for the final act of 613 Radical Acts of Prayer. On that day the audience was invited not only to watch the action, but become a part of it by moving, speaking and eventually dancing together. Today, you can experience the joy of that moment by viewing this broadcast.
