Negative Liberty/Positive Liberty asks a single viewer, in an 8-minute performance, to lend their voice to an artistic distillation of Isaiah Berlins 1958 lecture, Two Concepts of Liberty. In this lecture Berlin argues that when concepts of liberty are used rhetorically to control and repress individuals in the name of liberty itself - it will inevitably lead to violent conflict. The piece was installed at the Invisible Dog in Brooklyn, NY from March 18 April 18.Additionally, we brought a live version of Debate: Baldwin vs Buckley, our staging of the 1965 debate between James Baldwin and William F Buckley, to several social clubs in NYC: The Womens National Republican Club in Manhattan, and the Montauk Club in Brooklyn. Finally, we began development on a new play, Shooting Celebrities by John Ransom Phillips, which had its world premiere the following year. 186886 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 14 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 3 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true false false true false false NY X Erica Laird 7187016648 200 Sixth Street Brooklyn NY 11215 Christopher McElroen Artistic Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 60000 0 0 Anthony Micocci Executive Dir. 5.00 0.00 X X 24702 0 0 Michael Goodin President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Andrew Cmiel Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joan Magoolaghan Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 84702 0 false false false 0 92728 343577 436305 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other Income 900099 3 3 3 436308 3 0 0 0 0 84702 57351 12351 15000 0 73673 58673 12000 3000 0 5651 4500 921 230 7597 6050 1238 309 0 0 0 0 0 0 21939 11890 10049 1813 1813 23435 18663 3817 955 0 0 0 1439 1439 0 0 0 0 816 650 133 33 3102 3102 Production expense 27670 27670 0 251837 186886 45424 19527 20817 41192 0 141137 267728 0 0 0 0 0 4760 4899 816 4083 0 0 0 0 0 161954 317763 29099 437 29099 437 X 25218 82826 107637 234500 132855 317326 161954 317763 184471 X true X false true false X 326087 486272 315416 436305 1564080 0 0 326087 486272 315416 436305 1564080 1323273 240807 0 0 501 953 13 3 1470 1565550 59309 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4899 816 4083 4083 X Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization does not believe its financial statements include any material, uncertain tax positions.
