MIDDLETOWN Navaratri Festival, with music, dance, lectures and more.
So instead of a glitzy inauguration, this month's anniversary festivities are built around music, dance, lectures and exhibitions.
The Breaking Ground dance lectures are "Converging Movements: Modern Dance and Jewish Culture" (Dec. 5) and "Check Your Body At the Door: Underground Club Dancing in New York City" (June 12).
Music and dance, lectures and conferences will also be offered as part of the R4's mandate to serve a local population that has in the past resisted urban planning and development on the Île Seguin.
Built on a magnificent site on the harbour, surrounded by water on three sides, it contains a concert hall; a large theatre for opera and ballet; three smaller theatres for plays, dance, lectures, seminars, and music; and a reception hall.
Hot Time The atmosphere will be warm and perhaps even hot from 11 a.m. to 5 30 p.m. on Sunday at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, where the Chile Pepper Fiesta offers music, Mexican folk dance, lectures, workshops and cooking demonstrations.
4 30 P.M. Visit St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery, 131 East 10th Street, (212) 674-6377, a longtime neighborhood clearinghouse for dance, lectures and poetry, and take a stroll among the old graves, including that of Peter Stuyvesant, who was buried in an underground vault there in 1678.
I was experiencing this moment as a 20 year old where you're so eager to absorb everything – theater, dance, lectures, concerts – and then there were all these political performances and funerals where people were in some ways rageful privately and publicly, and that was deeply impactful.
The three largest spaces are still under construction and may be used for performances, dances, lectures, classes or exhibitions.
"Bleed" was neither about jazz nor about opera, per se, though it contained some of both, and much else: film, video, dance, poetry, lecture, diary, journalism and alternative medicine.
