Postnatal Pilates for you and your friends on YOUR schedule, every weekend
Hi Everyone,
I’m offering a new weekend option for postnatal Pilates at the SPINE house in Williamsburg, here’s how it works:
#1 You schedule a time on Saturday or Sunday for yourself and a couple friends.
#2 The schedule can change from week to week depending on your needs.
#3 If you can’t find someone to take class with I will find someone.
#4 Class will always be held at least 10mins.for late-comers.
#5 REPEAT EVERY WEEKEND
The SPINE house is a casual, comfortable place for you to do postnatal Pilates with your friends, and even hang out after class for tea and snacks prepared by our Tall Table Chef, Kristen Revier.
Plan on doing a Pilates mat workout mixed with yoga, strength training and Pilates equipment. Each class holds only 3 people, so each class is a semi-private. Please forward to your friends.
See you soon,
CN

More Cory More Greenpoint!
Cory is showing up in two new places in Greenpoint:
Caribou Baby, a gorgeous shop with a large, beautiful, sunlit studio in the back. She is teaching postnatal Pilates on Monday afternoons starting Sept. 12th for $20 a class. The space is big, bring your friends. The shop has everything you can think of and all of their products are organic, sustainable, artisanal, and progressive leaning.
Greenpoint Tattoo Company, an equally beautiful venue that feels like an artist's studio and gallery. At the moment, their Pilates class is only open to the artists and their friends, but they may be willing to accept a couple crashers next month. Watch out, they may want to "initiate" you, if you know what I mean...

Introducing Tall Table, a supper club at SPINE house
Hi friends,
As some of you know I have spent the last several months consumed by cooking. Long story short, I started recipe testing for Dirt Candy, a restaurant in the East Village, and I can't stop. It is a delicious addiction. But, in order to support and feed my addiction, I need to feed YOU. See long story.
So, I invite you to Tall Table, a supper club at SPINE house, our beautiful and spacious apartment in South Williamsburg. Please help me get started by first liking Tall Table's Facebook page, then coming for dinner and finally spreading the word.
INFO:
Tall Table features recipes from the restaurant Dirt Candy, and other fun dishes curated and prepared by Kristen Revier with the assistance of SPINE house co-founders Cory Nakasue and Brent Felker. There will be occasional, surprise wine and cocktail tastings as we get access to them, and when available, live performances from local artists.
Price: Suggested donation $30. BYOB
Location: SPINE house in Williamsburg (5 blocks from Lorimer L stop).
When: Sundays, and upon request for private parties.
Tall Table's Inaugural Dinner
We are having a very special first dinner on Sunday, Septe
mber 25th at 7:00PM. Along with delicious Dirt Candy dishes, our maiden dinner is unique because it comes with a select Italian wine service courtesy of Aroma Kitchen and Wine Bar, and of course, you'll be able to enjoy the meal with access to Kristen's Italian wine expertise. An added perk to this evening's seating is that all proceeds from the evening go to Brent Felker's latest project that he will be exhibiting this month; he will be on hand to talk a bit about that. If you or anyone you know would like to enjoy a scrumptious intimate dinner with delectable wines please email Kristen.spine@gmail.com for a reservation, and feel free to forward this to your friends.
SEPTEMBER 25TH MENU
Jalapeno Hush Puppies w/ Maple Butter
Portobello Mushroom Mousse
Grilled Asparagus Paella
Roasted Pear Sorbet with Crystallized Ginger/Molasses Cookies
All dishes paired with Southern Italian Red, White, Sparkling or Desert Wine.
All dishes are vegetarian.

Island living
I've been installing some video art for the past week on Governors Island. My work was selected by 4heads for the the Governors Island Art Fair. After a slightly rocky start where I was offered a room with no outlets that people could not enter, we worked something out. I had initially applied with 4 pieces, and when accepted said my only requirements were as many outlets as I could get. As a video artist, they come in quite handy. The plan was to install 6 pieces into a room as a cohesive installation.
In college we had a theater called the Cellar. Because it was a cellar. The beauty of naming its entrance aside, the place was a logistical nightmare. 8 ft (at best) ceilings meant the lights were so low, no one over 6ft could effectively be on stage. There were 4 entrances to the space. One "entrance" led to the prop room from which there was no exit, so anyone exiting there had to remain in storage for the rest of the play. The other three could only be accessed by leaving the building and running outside to another door. Not fun in a Maine winter. The floor, walls and ceiling were all cement and acoustically atrocious, not to mention hell for any dancing or stage combat. It was as if someone dropped a giant cinder block into the foundation of the theater, and we were left to perform in the cavity it formed.
It was a wonderful space. We did dozens of shows there in my four years. We did shows in the round, proscenium, thrust, alley you name it. The space forced us into heights of creativity by its very intractability. I spent the first day at Governors Island trying to get a different space, but ended up compromising by taking a few rooms with no outlets and running power up from the floor below. In fact, they gave me a whole section of the attic including the hallway, so people can view the different pieces from different doorways. I spent the next day figuring out exactly how it would all work, and ended up rearranging just about everything. The end result is a much better exhibit, I think, that incorporates the space in a way that would be impossible using a neutral room.
All in all, I am grateful for the restrictions that force creativity, even if the initial reaction is to rail against any imperfection. While I would like to get everything I want to realize my vision (obviously) and will try to create the opportunities that allow it, I know I will also look for the boundaries to push against. Knowing that those concrete walls are never as solid as they first appear.
