Due to the nigh-on wild acclaim for the ground-breaking post, Two Interviews, I link now to two more interviews, because, well, there are two new Flux-related interviews in the world. First up, Dog Act actress Becky Byers, she of People of the Year and Exploding Moments fame, continues to soar like a veritable air minion…
(Photo by Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Mike Mihm and surprise cameo artist Jane Lincoln Taylor) It was good to have another Have Another! In spite of the holiday and cold weather, we had a big warm house to share scenes from Ever Ever, Sacrifice, and Denny and Lila. To learn more about the artists and scenes…
Isaiah here. As I try to do on this day every year, I read through what I (along with Isaac Butler) think may be the greatest American argumentative essay, MLK’s Letter from Birmingham Jail, written to white, moderate clergymen reluctant to support his work protesting segregation. The wonderful thing about returning to a familiar text…
“We can try, we can try to re-write some of the moments, make the history different – the story different. Change the story. That’s the only hope cause it’s all rooted in there. All the hate and the power and the lack of care and the blindness – it’s all in the stories that we’re…

What’s exciting about the genome is it’s gotten us the big picture and allowed us to see the simplicity.”-Jon Cohen, “The Human Genome, A Decade Later”, Technology Review This rather lovely quote about the narrative of the…
Check out this great interview at Works by Women of our own Heather Cohn! Heather has some great thoughts about Flux’s programming, gender equity, and our upcoming production of Erin Browne’s Menders. While you’re at it, our amazing Dog Act postcard illustrator Kristy Caldwell has a fascinating post about her process (and ours) here. I…
It’s back! Our next installment of Have Another is this Monday the 17th from 7PM-9PM. We’ll be returning to the friendly confines of Jimmy’s #43, located downstairs at 43 East 7th Street between 2nd and 3rd Ave. There is no cover, just some of our favorite scenes from Flux Sunday shared over drinks with friends….
What is a SpeakEasy? A SpeakEasy is the regular gathering of Friends of Flux over drinks and food to brainstorm ideas, give feedback, and share updates about our mutual work. SpeakEasy is somewhere between a Town Hall, a party, and a gathering of the knights of the round table. Our first SpeakEasy on December 19th,…
“What I cannot create, I do not understand.”-Richard Feynman, physicist “Bring new light to what life might be.”-Hugh Macleod, cartoonist I had been thinking about writing a post like this for some time, and write it now under the shadow of the recent political murders in Arizona and Pakistan. A question J Holtham asks over…
