Performance | Cookie: Italian Picaresque-Inspired Performance Unfolding around a Sculpture
The play follows the traditional picaresque format, a literary style developed during the height of Spain's ... more >> Golden Age in which a clever but poor hero, a picaro, uses their wits and tricks to survive in a corrupt and crumbling society. Drawing inspiration from 16th-century picaresque novellas like Lazarillo de Tormes and Francisco de Quevedo's The Swindler, Cookie is a story of desperation disguised as elite ambition. At its center is Gunnar Churchwell, a sleazy yet charismatic suit salesman who arrives in Madrid, only to be recruited by the egomaniacal ringleader of a grifting crew of makeshift "tailors." Their baseline rule for survival is simple: "never let them know you are hungry." Cookie unfolds around The Lair, a twisted aluminum sculpture resembling a street scaffold. The performance is a story of desperation disguised as elite ambition, highlighting anti-heroes who maneuver through the cracks of a glittering superpower purely to secure their next meal. Georgia Gardner Gray works across painting, performance, and theater. Her vivid canvases depict exaggerated figures in social spaces--bars, apartments, rehearsal rooms, city streets--each imbued with the comedy, absurdity, instability, and contradiction inherent in our modern lives. As an accomplished playwright, Gray captures the tension between intimacy and display, self-awareness and satire.    Manhattan, New York, NY

A staple of chamber music in the late Classical and early Romantic era (circa 1780-1830) was the Italian Notturno for two voices with continuo or fully-composed keyboard part. This genre, a descendant of the Baroque chamber cantata, remains very little explored today; hundreds of gems await rediscovery.

Dance Performance | Site-Specific Dance Duet, Physical Dialogue Finding Balance
This performance brings together dancers Asha Thomas and Robert Cornejo in an intimate dance that offers ... more >> a sensitive lecture on communication across generations. By placing these two artists at distinct, contrasting moments in their lives and careers, the choreography becomes a living conversation where maturity and youth meet. Their physical dialogue navigates the deep-seated difficulties of finding balance, letting the human relationship play out directly within the environment around them. Choreographer Leo Lerus's practice frequently draws inspiration from the Guadeloupean Gwoka music tradition, exploring the island's natural and cultural ability to adapt to change. Through his movement research, Lerus explores environments in a delicate natural balance and examines how that equilibrium is altered by contemporary input. By weaving these ideas into the duet, the performance reflects the complex mix of feelings around environmental preservation--using the movement of two different generations to juxtapose disappointment and anger with an enduring hope and a shared movement toward a positive future. The performance takes place as well at 2:00 pm and 3:30 pm.    Manhattan, New York, NY

Classical Music | One of NYC's Most Exciting Chamber Orchestras and Its Widely-Praised Conductor
Parlando Orchestra distinguishes itself by integrating historical and cultural context into every performance. ... more >> Founder-conductor Ian Niederhoffer, described by New York Classical Review as "charismatic, enthusiastic and articulate," leads the ensemble with a uniquely engaging approach. About the Piece In 1924, Austrian director Hugo Bettauer released a satirical film imagining a Vienna emptied of its Jewish population -- a dark comic warning drawn from the rhetoric of rising nationalist politicians. One year later, Bettauer was assassinated by a Nazi sympathizer who was acquitted and celebrated. Banned in 1933, the film nearly vanished until a pristine print surfaced at a Paris flea market in 2015. Parlando presents a live screening with orchestra of the newly restored Die Stadt ohne Juden (The City without Jews), featuring Olga Neuwirth's 2018 score -- a visceral, urgent work that transforms this century-old cautionary tale into an unsettlingly contemporary one.    Manhattan, New York, NY

Lecture | Biographer Explores the Groundbreaking Work of Jazz Dancer & Choreographer Buddy Bradley
Maureen Footer has written a new biography of Buddy Bradley, Feel the Floor, that delves into his far-reaching ... more >> influence. Nearly every famous name in dance in the mid-twentieth century was touched by the innovative, often groundbreaking work of the jazz dancer and choreographer. Iconic choreographers from George Balanchine to Frederick Ashton, Jerome Robbins to Agnes deMille, were among the many major artists who drew inspiration from his work. Here, with a panel including tap, jazz, and ballet dancers, the subject of how one art form can significantly influence another will be discussed and demonstrated, live. When Balanchine and Bradley were brought together in London in 1931 to co-choreograph Charles B. Cochran's famous revue, the star, and the chorus had been trained by Buddy Bradley, providing Balanchine with his first hands-on opportunity to experiment with jazz mechanisms and movement. Some of Bradley and Balanchine's "creative synergies" will be displayed by the dancers in work such as Agon, Rubies and Symphony in C.    Manhattan, New York, NY

Lecture | DIscussion on Newfound Artwork by Franz Kafka
A lecture by Andreas Kilcher (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich). The lecture will be ... more >> followed by a conversation between Andreas Kilcher and Paul North (Maurice Natanson Professor of German and Professor of Philosophy at Yale University). The year 2019 brought a sensational discovery: hundreds of drawings by Franz Kafka that had been kept under lock and key for decades were made accessible. Although Kafka is renowned for his written work, his drawings are evidence of what his literary executor, Max Brod, termed his 'double talent'. Irresistible and full of fascinating figures, shifting from the realistic to the fantastic, the grotesque, the uncanny, and the carnivalesque, they illuminate a previously unknown side of the quintessential modernist author. Four new and fascinating stories can be told in relation to Kafka's drawings: the story of their transmission, the story of Kafka's engagement with the visual arts, the story of Kafka as a draftsman, and the story of his drawing practice in the context of his writing, which implies a complex aesthetic question: How are these drawings to be understood in their own right, yet at the same time as connected to his writing?    Manhattan, New York, NY

Across four centuries and especially over the last 250 years, Greenwich Village has been a magnet for misfits and a refuge for outsiders.

In the 20th century a Who's Who of global culture came to "the Left Bank of America," from Kahlil Gibran to John and Yoko, Marcel Duchamp to Jimi Hendrix. They came because this tiny speck of real estate, a neighborhood they could stroll through in twenty minutes, was the one place in America where they were not only allowed but actively encouraged to live and express themselves freely.    Manhattan, New York, NY

Book Discussion | Art Historians Discuss Their New Book, What Was America?
Elise Armani and Katy Siegel will be joined by Lauren O'Neill-Butler in a lively conversation about artists, ... more >> communities, and citizens at a moment when art and culture were seen (and supported) as a civic good. Where is art going, who is it for, and what can it tell us about our world? To think these questions through, we might begin by looking back. Published this month, Elise Armani and Katy Siegel's book, What Was America? offers a prismatic view of American art and culture in the years leading up to the 1976 Bicentennial. Over ten years of planning, the Bicentennial inspired and supported an unprecedented culture boom across the United States, as artists, designers, performers, historians, writers, and participants of all kinds wrestled with the pressing issues of the day, including the environment, immigration, heritage, media, and what it means to be American. From individual artworks and blockbuster exhibitions to community quilts and time capsules, projects unfolded across wildly disparate venues, demographics, and geographies, eliciting mass participation in negotiating US history and imagining the nation's future. Many of the questions asked in 1976 resemble those of 2026, but the responses offered in that earlier moment make for an electric contrast with those of our own present--they also hold genuine potential for remaking our own future.    Manhattan, New York, NY

The late 1970s and early 1980s was a period of imaginative intensity, wild recklessness and magnificent mutation in Germany. Not just in Berlin, but in cities and regions across the country, teenagers who had caught the punk virus unlearned their instruments, made strange synthetic sounds that the radio stations and major labels regarded as anti-music, and created a fierce, fractured poetry out of the German language. Abwarts, DAF, Der Plan, Einsturzende Neubaten, Malaria!, Palais Schaumberg, Xmal Deutschland: at the peak of the Cold War, a time of No Wave and No Future, these bands--and hundreds like them--radiated an energy, dark wit and a spirit of experimentation that is still arresting, and in some cases waiting to be discovered still in 2026.    Manhattan, New York, NY

Film | Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026): Culture Documentary (+ Filmmaker Discussion)
A decade after his death, genre-defying filmmaker William Greaves has one last trick up his sleeve with ... more >> what he considered the most important event he captured on film: a 1972 party he engineered with the living luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance. For four hours, this extraordinary group--many of whom had not seen each other in fifty years--reminisced, critiqued, argued, laughed, and drank while wrestling with their place in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape. Shot on 16mm film, newly restored and now directed by Greaves's son David, this landmark film is at once a self-exploration and an inquiry into the heart of the critical mass of energy called the Harlem Renaissance. William Greaves's intent was not only to document these artists and intellectuals as they spoke about their lives and work. but also to plumb the meaning of the extraordinary creative period in which they lived to help us better understand how culture has been passed on from one generation to another and the role that the artist plays in keeping it alive. Director: William Greaves, David Greaves Followed by a conversation between filmmakers David Greaves and Liani Greaves and Racquel Gates, Associate Professor, Film and Media Studies.    Manhattan, New York, NY

Film | Korean Film Festival: Karma (2026) -- Korean Documentary (+ Director Q&A)
Inside a small judicial scrivener's office at the Seongnam Branch of Suwon District Court, people arrive ... more >> daily carrying the weight of debt. The father helps them file for rehabilitation and bankruptcy, though he himself is drowning in what he owes. Eight years ago, the filmmaker - who once dreamed of becoming a poet - abandoned his studies and took a seat beside his father, fearing that debt might one day drive him to suicide. As a clerk, he witnesses the endless circulation of suffering caused by money, obligation, and survival. Threaded through this struggle is the quiet presence of his mother, a Buddhist nun who returned to monastic life to repay the debts of her temple, and who eventually achieved financial peace. Between a father still struggling and a mother who endured, the film searches for a modest hope: not redemption, but the possibility of continuing to live.

Emily and Michael worry that their odd, intense friendship and obscure reference points make it hard for them to have long-term relationships with "normal" people. Currently, Emily's marriage is falling apart, and she goes a final round with her soon-to-be-ex-husband when he stops by. Meanwhile, Michael, after years alone, is thinking of starting a new relationship with Connor, who is much younger and knows nothing of the literary figures the three friends admire. But maybe that does not matter, and maybe Connor should not be underestimated. Directed by Judy Klass. Written by David Barlow.    Manhattan, New York, NY

Nichols & May were one of the greatest comedy duos of all time-- they performed together for only four ... more >> years (and were lovers for only three days, or so the legend goes), but their comedy shaped a generation. After disbanding their act, the talented and charming Mike Nichols goes on to be an incredibly successful director of stage and screen, while the brilliant but "difficult" Elaine May has more of a roller coaster career, struggling as a screenwriter and director, ultimately making a living as a ghostwriter and go-to script doctor. When her old partner approaches her to write the screenplay for a comedy he's set to direct-- an English adaptation of the French film La Cage Aux Folles -- Elaine must wrestle with what matters more: succeeding on her own or reuniting with the partner who has always known her true worth. A comedy with plenty of belly laughs and a couple of solid gut punches. Written by Beth Kander.    Manhattan, New York, NY
