Angela Duckworth changed the way we think about achievement with Grit, her landmark book on passion, perseverance, and success.
Now she returns with a provocative new question: what if individual determination is only part of the story? She joins # 1 bestselling social scientist Jonathan Haidt, author of The Anxious Generation, for a conversation about creating a social context that sets you up for success.
In her new book, Situated: Find the People and Places that Bring Out Your Best, Duckworth turns her attention to the hidden power of circumstance — the people, places, habits, routines, and surroundings that shape what we are able to become. We are often told to make the best of our situation. Duckworth argues that the wiser move may be to make the situation better first. Drawing on stories from high performers, groundbreaking research, and her own life as a writer, teacher, psychologist, and parent, Duckworth explores how we can design conditions that help us — and others — thrive.
In a rich and revealing conversation about the research behind Situated, Duckworth and Haidt discuss how social environment affects the arc of our lives — and what Duckworth’s new work reveals about ambition, talent, motivation, success, and human potential. Join us for a fascinating evening with two of today’s most influential thinkers on achievement, character, and the science of human behavior.

Established
in 1775, the original&nbsp;Bowne &amp; Co., Inc. was one of

What if miracles were not rare events, but possibilities available to each of us to receive and even create from within ourselves?&nbsp;
New York Times-featured, world-renowned psychic medium&nbsp;Carissa&nbsp;Schumacher — spiritual guide to tens of thousands worldwide from celebrities to thought leaders to people of all walks of life — stops by for an evening of healing, sharing, and conversation about her new book,&nbsp;The Alchemy Transmissions: A Pathway to Miracles, a guide to personal transformation and spiritual awakening.
Carissa&nbsp;Schumacher has been a channel for spirit since she was a child. For the past 17 years, through her mediumship, channelings, ceremonies, and teachings, she has provided spiritual guidance to and changed the lives of people from many different faiths or belief structures, as well as great many atheists and skeptics. With a background in neuroscience, her offerings are not just “spiritual.” They are grounded in simple, accessible, original, and relatable wisdom that is not just for some people, it is for all people.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;
Designed to liberate our hearts, minds, bodies, and spirits from the traumas, judgments, and fears that keep us bound to stress and pain, her framework of “Divine Alchemy” helps you move toward a life grounded in greater purpose, peace, authenticity, and joy. Blending spiritual insight, personal stories, and practical tools, Schumacher invites audiences of all backgrounds into a conversation about transformation, service, and the sacredness of coming together in community.
In a rapidly changing world in which there is so much division and fear, on this special evening, Schumacher invites us to come together to heal, share, grow, laugh, and learn in co-creation with one another. Attending this special evening is a simple act and service of love, for yourself, your communities, and for humanity.

Amanda
Selwyn Dance Theatre&nbsp;welcomes&nbsp;Caleb Ballantine,
Justice Jackson,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Amari Snead&nbsp;to its
professional dance company.

“My
Company dancers deepen, shape, and animate every aspect of my
choreographic work. I am incredibly grateful for the long-standing
creative relationships I share with so many remarkable artists –
many of whom have danced with us for over 10 years. I am equally
energized by the vibrant new voices joining our company. With Caleb,
Justice, and Amari adding to the mix, we now are a community of 16
diverse, talented, and unique performers. Each dancer brings a
distinct physicality and perspective to the work, alongside
extraordinary movement clarity, expressive theatricality, precision,
technique, passion, and diligence. As we enter our 27th Performance
Season and continue the development of&nbsp;Exposed&nbsp;toward
its forthcoming premiere March 11-13, 2027 at Tribeca Performing Arts
Center, I am inspired by the artistry, curiosity, and commitment of
our exceptional ensemble,” said Amanda Selwyn, Artistic/Executive

of art and theater in the time of shutdown, and now to ensure that
these crucial conversations continue going forward.

<ul><li>Making Something from Nothing: How Bare Bones Theater Companies</li></ul>
Survive and Thrive.&nbsp;In
the room:&nbsp;Andrew
Beck,
producing artistic director of Outta Bounds Productions, which in the
last 4 years has incubated over 25 new scripts of varying length in
their&nbsp;Warehouse Works series; and&nbsp;Alicia
Foxworth,
founder of Brownstone Steps Entertainment, curator of Brownstone
Steps Play Festival since 2018, dedicated to producing culturally
affirming content by, about and/or including people of the African
diaspora to reflect a myriad of cultures and generations. Given
today's economic challenges, it's a wonder that anyone can get a show
up on a stage. We always hear an earful about the soaring costs in
commercial theater, particularly on Broadway; but what about the
thousands of small scrappy theaters around the country and around the
world? How does a company on a shoestring budget survive in today's
no-string economy? Are they able to use union artists? What are their
secrets and strategies to keep costs down? What are some of their
favorite venues to work in? How did they make it through shutdown?
How have they found and grown their audience? Visit
