Abstract
Sketches out the organizing activities that were, over the course of decades, interfacing with the concepts generated by Holzman, Newman, and their East Side Institute discussed in the previous chapter. It looks at the key activities that generated and shaped this stream of performance activism: The All Stars Talent Show Network and other youth programs of the All Stars Project; the Castillo Theatre; The Barbara Taylor School; Performance of a Lifetime; and this community’s fundraising work on the streets of New York.
