On the heels of a wrenching year, a new season begins. Opportunities for renewal abound. How does renewal happen? What are the different ways in which we experience renewal? And how do we facilitate both individual and collective renewal?

In this powerful online PechKucha, three luminaries – award-winning Choreographer and Performance Maker Letty Bassart, Founder of the Urbanism Summit and Urblandia Andrew Quarrie, and Kabbalah Instructor Yehuda Goldfiner share stories about the significance of renewal in their lives.

It's Random. It's Questions. It's Live. What could possibly go wrong? Audiences are raving "What is this?" "Why's this on my news feed?" and "Where am I?" He's the 12th most popular Google search result for "Larry Fields". He's kind of a big deal. Random Questions with Artistic Director Larry Fields is FTF’s newest virtual program! Just as the title suggests, the show is a fun, off-the-wall take on a talk show based around a series of rapid-fire random questions. Guests are all FTF alumni—both past and present, featuring performers, directors, designers, etc.—all the kinds of people who make FTF possible. This show is our way of celebrating our great and talented artists both on stage and off—and it’s a gig in the pandemic! The show is 30 minutes long, free, and is broadcast live on Facebook and YouTube via remote interview (Zoom) at 8pm on Tues. Dec. 1st. facebook.com/ftfshows
