LABA: House of Study, a beit midrash for culture-makers at the 14th Street Y in New York City, has selected Cohort I Fellow Clare Burson as one of their 2012-2013 Artist Fellows! Every year, the LABA staff selects a group of 10 fellows to partake in a yearlong study of classical Jewish texts centered around a theme. The fellows then interpret these texts in their work which is featured in the bi-monthly online journal and annual year-end festival.

Hannah Bos’ Six Points Project, Blood Play, will premier this fall at The Bushwick Starr! Created by The Debate Society, Blood Play translates the anti-Semitic medieval perception that Jewish men menstruated into a provocative, 20th century thriller.
Soon, the story spread…Whispers in the basement bars of the homes around the neighborhood. Rumors served at the soda shop. Kids, terrified, telling trembling tales in tents in the backyard. …He’s out there.
Blood Play will perform October 3 – 27th, 2012.
