About European Stages  For almost a quarter of a century, from 1969 until 2013 the journal Western European Stages (founding editor Marvin Carlson) provided one of the most detailed and comprehensive overviews of the season-by-season activities in this major part of the theatre world available anywhere in any language. From 1981 onward, parallel coverage of Eastern Europe was provided by its sister journal, Slavic and East European Performance, edited by the late Professor Daniel Gerould. This was an extremely exciting and innovative period, marked by the work of many of the greatest directors of the twentieth century, by actors and designers of equal achievement, and by remarkable changes in theatre design and technology. At the turn of the century WES offered two special issues that gave a complete survey of the current theatrical scene in every country, down to the smallest, in that part of the world, a kind of overview unavailable anywhere else. Many of the larger countries, such as Germany and Sweden, received special issues, as did certain aspects of the contemporary stage, such as the growth of women directors in Europe. Both journals have offered interviews with leading artists and detailed reports on most of the leading European theatre festivals. The European continent has undergone radical changes during this quarter century. When WES was founded, Eastern and Western Europe were two quite distinct political and theatrical spheres. With the disappearance of the Russian control in the East, the rise of the European Union, and the rapid increase of productions combining the artists from a variety of countries, east and west, this cold war division today is largely an historical memory politically and theatrically. Thus, in 2013, these two journals combined their activities to reflect this more integrated continent, and metamorphosed into European Stages. We hope that the new, merged resource will continue to provide English-language readers with the most comprehensive source available on current theatre in this most important area of such activity.

The interaction between animals and their environments is the engine that keeps the planet healthy. But for many species, time is running out. When you remove one, it affects us all.

The National Geographic Photo Ark is a multiyear effort to raise awareness of and find solutions to some of the most pressing issues affecting wildlife and their habitats. Led by National Geographic photographer, Fellow, and 2018 Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year Joel Sartore, the project aims to document every species living in the world’s zoos and wildlife sanctuaries, inspire action through education, and help save wildlife by supporting on-the-ground conservation efforts.

Hi All if your on Boston Catch this! Steven Zevitas Gallery, "We Speak Upon the Ashes" June 27th.

Jordan Seaberry, Blueberry (The Right to Self), 2019, acrylic and mixed media on canvas82 x 50 inches Featured in the Boston Globe:  JORDAN SEABERRY | We Speak Upon the Ashes open until July 27, 2019

Jordan Seaberry, Blueberry (The Right to Self), 2019, acrylic and mixed media on canvas82 x 50 inches

"If you took our tip to take in the deCordova New England Biennial, you likely spotted work of Jordan Seaberry, a painter-turned-community-organizer-turned-painter, who also serves as director of public policy at Providence's Nonviolence Institute. This weekend, and through July 27, you can catch Seaberry's first solo show, "We Speak Upon the Ashes," which brings together what the 29-year-old artist considers "two threads in the same practice." "His large-scale, imagistic mixed-media paintings address systemic injustice, family wounds, and moving forward," writes Globe contributor Cate McQuaid. "His process on canvas, like community organizing, is incremental, the outcome unpredictable." "We Speak Upon the Ashes" is on view at Steven Zevitas Gallery in the South End. Find more info here."
