92NY

In Ghosts of a Holy War, award-winning journalist Yardena Schwartz presents a meticulously researched and dynamic history of the 1929 massacre of Jews in Hebron — an event that became ground zero of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Drawing on century-old letters discovered in a Memphis attic, alongside contemporary interviews with Israelis and Palestinians living in Hebron today, Schwartz reveals how the causes and aftershocks of 1929 have reverberated for the last century — including in the aftermath of October 7, 2023. As Yossi Klein Halevi writes, “If you are going to read one book to help you understand the current Middle East tragedy, this is it.” It was also just announced that Schwartz’s narrative is being adapted into a feature film by Crystal City Entertainment.
Joining her in conversation is Noam Weissman, Executive Vice President of OpenDor Media and host of the Unpacking Israeli History podcast and co-host of the Wondering Jews podcast. Weissman is known for approaching Israeli history with intellectual rigor, educational depth, and a commitment to complexity — challenging both romanticized and reductive narratives. The conversation will be guided by 92NY Senior Director of Jewish Life Rabbi David Ingber. His spiritual insight will be asking not only what happened, but how the stories we inherit shape Jewish identity, communal discourse, and Israel education today.
Together, Schwartz and Weissman and Rabbi Ingber will explore the origins of the conflict, the power of historical memory, and the urgent need to rethink how Israel is taught in Jewish spaces.

Author Maureen Footer is joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning cultural critic Margo Jefferson to talk about Footer’s new biography of groundbreaking jazz and tap choreographer Buddy Bradley, Feel the Floor: Restoring the Life and Legacy of Jazz Choreographer Buddy Bradley.
A pioneering but unsung figure in the development of jazz and tap dance in the 20th century, Bradley’s revolutionary style electrified dance on Broadway and London’s West End in the 1920s and ‘30s. He introduced the language of jazz dance into the ballets of giants Frederick Ashton and George Balanchine. And his students – Eleanor Powell, Ruby Keeler, Adele Astaire – became legends. But the racism of the era left his work in the US uncredited, making him the most influential dancer and choreographer many have never heard of. Hear Footer talk with Jefferson about Bradley’s journey from Jim Crow-era Birmingham to the nightclubs of the Harlem Renaissance and beyond, his influence as a Black artist on white performing stages, the innovations that live on in the work of Jerome Robbins, Bob Fosse, and on Broadway today, and much more. And hear her explore with one of our leading arts critics how this under-celebrated genius used African American dance to transform an art form.
Book will be available for purchase.

Featuring performances by dancers from Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Gauthier Dance//Dance Company Theaterhaus Stuttgart among them Andrew Cummings, and others.
“Choreographer Aszure Barton speaks a language of raw emotion: a punch to the gut, a tightening heart. Her works tell the never-ending story of what it means to be human.” — Carmen Kovacs, dramaturg
Aszure Barton is among the most original and sought-after choreographers of her generation — a singular voice whose work has moved audiences around the world, from Nederlands Dans Theater to Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. We are honored to close our Women Move the World 2025/26 Harkness Mainstage Series with a landmark event that celebrates her holistic vision.
As director of Aszure Barton &amp; Artists | AB&amp;A — a multidisciplinary dance hub founded in New York in the early 2000s — Aszure has expanded beyond the conventional choreographer-company structure by reshaping what it means to build a body of work, “a mobile home for trusted humans,” as she says. Since its inception, she’s been generating dance language with her most-trusted AB&amp;A crew while simultaneously creating commissions worldwide — all through a rigorous, collaborative process that simultaneously respects and dismantles classical and contemporary forms. AB&amp;A serves as both a watering hole and connecting thread for this choreographer and her collaborators.
This 92NY celebration shares her interconnected web of community with ours by bringing together AB&amp;A artists from across the globe, including dancers from Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Gauthier Dance//Dance Company Theaterhaus Stuttgart among them Andrew Cummings, and others. In a single evening, audience members will witness a breadth of Aszure’s artistic voice through artists who have inspired her process over the years. This gathering highlights her path as a prolific choreographer, celebrating where the work has been and will go while uplifting her love of music and longtime collaborators — giving you a grasp of how she has and will continue to reshape the dance landscape internationally.

Garry Trudeau, the Pulitzer Prize-winning creator of Doonesbury, joins us for a conversation about his boundary-busting comic strip, his invention of a new kind of visual journalism, and Joshua Kendall’s definitive new biography, Trudeau &amp; Doonesbury.
Emerging at the height of the Vietnam War in 1970, Garry Trudeau’s Doonesbury helped shaped American politics and pop culture for more than 50 years — the first comic strip to win a Pulitzer Prize, the sprawling narrative reflected the nation back to itself with wit and penetrating insight. Drawing on newly uncovered archival materials and extensive interviews with fellow cartoonists, prominent journalists, and even politicians who were mocked in the strip, Joshua Kendall’s Trudeau &amp; Doonesbury is more than a biography — it is an incisive cultural history told through Trudeau’s remarkable life, showing how Trudeau became "one of our nation’s greatest journalists" (Henry Louis Gates, Jr.) and a preeminent chronicler of the Baby Boom generation.
In a conversation celebrating the book’s launch, hear Trudeau and Kendall discuss Trudeau’s life and the remarkable arc of Doonesbury — the strip’s emergence from the Vietnam era, its rise to prominence at the height of the Watergate scandal, and its innovative visual blend of reportage and barbed political satire, and the changing world that the strip reflected through 50 years of American history.

“FIVE SESSIONS…A War in Therapy”
A RAW AND EXPLOSIVE NEW YORK THEATRICAL EVENT THAT CHALLENGES THE LIMITS OF THERAPY AND JUSTICE
“FIVE SESSIONS…A War in Therapy”–, a gripping new play by the playwright&nbsp; (JS/MSW) Jaime Estades. Set in present-day New York City, this intense psychological drama confronts audiences with urgent questions about systemic injustice, and the limits of institutional care.
Over the course of five charged therapy sessions, the audience is drawn into a confined space where two individuals collide: a recent graduate therapist with a privilege background–trained with clinical tools and good intentions but non-experiential, and a Latino building superintendent, labor organizer, and a man on the edge, shaped by grief, exploitation, and systemic neglect. “FIVE SESSIONS…A War in Therapy”—it is a theatrical confrontation. It is a necessary one.Production Details:

The 4-Step Strategy to Attract an Equal Partner Without the App Fatigue
<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dating-is-dead-why-nycs-most-successful-women-like-you-are-still-single-tickets-1988244035432?" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">BUY&nbsp;YOUR&nbsp;TICKETS&nbsp;HERE</a>
The more successful you become, the harder dating gets. You already know this. What you don't know is exactly why — and what to do about it.
You dread opening your DMs. Blind dates feel like a second job interview. You've taken more breaks from dating than you can count. And you're starting to wonder if love is just not in the cards for you.
Here's the truth: there are more than 30 reasons why dating is so hard in New York for a woman like you. Most workshops only cover 3 factors (time, dating apps, and a shrinking pool of men). Not only is this the only workshop covering them all, but it's the only workshop giving you real, practical solutions to overcome them, step-by-step.
Dating Is DEAD: How NYC's Most Successful Women Are (Finally) Finding Love—And You Can Too is a 5-hour live masterclass and workshop for successful single women in NYC who are done being razor-sharp in every area of their lives except their love life. No recycled advice. A full reset — built specifically for modern, high-achieving NYC women who want an equal, emotionally intelligent, values-matched partner.
This is an investment in a strategic approach to your love life, designed to equip you with actionable insights and a supportive community.
WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
✔ We don't just talk about the 3 reasons you feel powerless in love (app algorithms, time, and a smaller pool of men). We discuss the 8 patterns and 30 + reasons the most successful women struggle in dating—but more importantly, tools you can use to overcome all of these patterns.
✔ Clarity on the patterns keeping you stuck — people-pleasing, over-functioning, tolerating misaligned values, and more — and a real plan to break them
✔ A values-aligned partner profile built around your ambitions and your vision for your life, not a generic checklist
✔ A practical dating strategy you can implement immediately, designed for feminist women who refuse to compromise on what matters
✔ Real connection with a community of like-minded single women in New York who are also done shrinking — and done doing this alone
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
→ You're a successful, independent woman who wants a real relationship on your terms
→ You're exhausted by dating apps, situationships, and emotionally unavailable men
→ Your values aren't a talking point — they show up in how you live and who you are — and you want a partner who can say the same
→ You want to date intentionally, attract an equal, and stop feeling behind in your love life
YOUR GUIDE
Expert guidance from Sophie Kaemmerle, a dating coach and professional matchmaker who specializes in modern, high-achieving women and has worked with executives, doctors, founders, and other successful women. With Sophie's expertise, clients don't just leave with better dates — they leave with a clearer understanding of themselves, what they actually need, and the confidence to recognize it when it's in front of them.

TESTIMONIALS
"Sophie is a keen listener, highly observant, and incredibly empathetic. She takes the time to intentionally guide you through your core dating philosophies, and has helped me uncover things I had no idea existed in my own perspective."
"Sophie is an exceptional NYC matchmaking coach! Through her professionalism, attentive listening, and wise advice, I moved forward confidently in a relationship, overcoming doubts and laying a solid foundation. Her approach is both human and effective, blending empathy with practical tools. Highly recommend for tailored advice and support."
PITCH-A-FRIEND
Your Next Connection Awaits! At the end of the masterclass, we do something no other dating event does. You'll have the opportunity to champion a high-value single male friend to the group — vouched for, vetted, and introduced by a woman who knows him well. Real connections. No apps. No swiping. Please see the agenda in "More" for details about this segment of the Masterclass.
