Time Sensitive

Performed by Ragged Wing Ensemble
Wed, April 18, 2018
6:30 PM - 9:00 PM @The Flight Deck
$32 - $120 TICKETS HERE
Join us for a reading of TIME SENSITIVE, at The Flight Deck in support of The Borneo Project. Facebook Event here.
A crack is growing.
The shape of time is changing.
Only a few can see it.
This daring play by Amy Sass urgently asks: How do we hold a moment if we constantly crave the next big thing? Explore with us the impact of our perception of time on the decisions we make personally, professionally, and politically. Examine the dilemmas, paralysis, and opportunities we face in a world of technologically accelerated communication, increased connectivity, and dwindling resources.

COMMUNITY MEETING TONIGHT
by The Kilbanes

We're ex-military so we know how to avoid detection.

And we've had some moments that were pretty touch and go, but so far so good.

Association Building Community presents Peace Practices -- Aikido 2.0 and Conflict Done Well
All levels are welcome - Click Here for more Class Information
An RSVP is required. Email administration@abcglobal.net or call, toll free: (866) 236-0346 and leave a message.
Aikido 2.0 introduces language within the physical techniques of the martial art of aikido, so students may practice effective physical self-defense and redirective language at the same time and under pressure. Those who continue learn Martial Nonviolence, which adds elements of improvisation and facilitation to Aikido 2.0 so that practitioners may become conflict professionals, paid instructors in the Peace Practices project, and apply Conflict Done Well in any situation.
