Message from Vijay + Mike:<\/p>\n

Tonight we’re presenting the beginning phase of a new project, Holding it Down, about the dreams of young veterans of color returning home from the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

We’re honored to be joined by a third collaborator, poet, ex-Marine, Iraq veteran, and project co-author Maurice Decaul. We’re also working with a stellar group of performers, many of whom have worked with us on previous projects.<\/p>\n

Listen to a radio feature<\/a> that ran this morning on WNYC

\nWe had an amazing experience performing this work-in-progress for the first time in Milan last weekend. Now we’d like to share it with those of you here in New York.\u00a0 More info here<\/a>.
