New Yorker Festival 2007: Parkour with David Belle Parkour New York: David Belle talks with Alec Wilkinson David Belle will discuss, and demonstrate, parkour, the sport he created. Parkour is a system of leaps, vaults, rolls, and landings designed to help a person surmount any obstacles in his path. David Belle moved to Lisses, a suburb of Paris, at the age of fourteen. Inspired by his father, an acrobat and fireman, and by the French sports theorist Georges Hébert, he began performing stunts on a nearby climbing wall. Through online videos, his sport, whose name he coined, caught on internationally. He has performed in Madagascar, Italy, Germany, and Portugal and will appear in the upcoming film "Babylon A.D." Alec Wilkinson has been a staff writer for The New Yorker since 1980. He is the author of seven books, including "My Mentor," "Mr. Apology," and, most recently, "The Happiest Man in the World: An Account of the Life of Poppa Neutrino," parts of which first appeared in the magazine. "No Obstacles," his piece on parkour and David Belle, appeared in the April 16th Journeys issue. Tags: Parkour David Belle New Yorker Festival York Alec Wilkinson |

Newyorker.com: Rebirth Brass Band Second Line, by Dan Baum The cold and damp weather that had been bedeviling New Orleans for weeks has finally broken, and on Saturday the Treme Sidewalk Steppers, one of the city's many Social Aid & Pleasure Clubs, held a second-line that began at the African American Museum of Art and History in Treme. A huge crowd filled Governor Nicholls Street as, precisely at noon, the Rebirth Brass Band began blowing. The Sidewalk Steppers—in matching gold linen shirts and pants, black-and-gold sashes, black alligator shoes, and black homburgs—came dancing down the museum's steps and out into the street.
