SUMMARY:The Great Miscalculation: The Race to Save New York City’s Citicorp Tower
DESCRIPTION:Thirty years ago a New Yorker article\, “The Fifty-Nine-Story Crisis\,” recounted the little-known drama of the threatened collapse of a Manhattan skyscraper. In a new book\, The Great Miscalculation: The Race to Save New York City’s Citicorp Tower\, author Michael Greenburg further investigates the full story of how in 1978 structural engineer William LeMessurier became aware of a critical flaw in his innovative design and the chain of events and responses that followed. A team of engineers and building experts mobilized to analyze and correct a miscalculation that\, a generation before 9/11\, threatened Midtown Manhattan with a catastrophic collapse of a major tower.

SUMMARY:Battery Dance: The Frozen Zone
DESCRIPTION:Battery Dance\, a lower Manhattan–based dance company\, held a public dance festival at the World Trade Center Plaza every year between 1982 and 2001. Just two weeks after the 9/11 attacks\, the company presented a spontaneous performance entitled Pavilion at the Franklin Street subway station on the cusp of the “frozen zone.” In conversation with Museum Director Clifford Chanin\, Founder and Artistic Director of Battery Dance Jonathan Hollander\, Dancer Tadej Brdnik\, Composer and Tabla Player Samir Chatterjee\, and Composer and World Percussionist Yousif Sheronick\, reflect on the importance of the performance and what it means almost 25 years later. The discussion will be followed by a re-staged performance of Pavilion by Kar’mel Small.

SUMMARY:Fresh Prints
DESCRIPTION:This open house will feature a breadth of printing equipment that you will be invited to use. You’ll get to see how the designers at Bowne lock up limited edition designs that showcase some of the more eccentric parts from the Seaport Museum’s printing and graphic arts collection. Established in 1775\, the original Bowne & Co.\, Inc. was one of New York’s oldest printing firms. The Bowne & Co. that you can experience today at the Seaport Museum is an offshoot of the original and continues the age-old tradition of job (or small batch) printing.

SUMMARY:Films At The Museum: “Sabbath Queen” Screening and Talkback
DESCRIPTION:Screening and discussion. Sabbath Queen\, a feature documentary filmed over 21 years\, follows Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie’s epic journey as the dynastic heir of 38 generations of Orthodox rabbis including the Chief Rabbis of Israel. He is torn between rejecting and embracing his destiny and becomes a drag-queen rebel\, a queer bio-dad and the founder of Lab/Shul—an everybody-friendly\, God-optional\, artist-driven\, pop-up experimental congregation. Sabbath Queen joins Amichai on a lifelong quest to creatively and radically reinvent religion and ritual\, challenge patriarchy and supremacy\, champion interfaith love\, and stand up for peace. The film interrogates what Jewish survival means in a difficult rapidly changing 21st century.
