Directed by Kornél Mundruczó (, Pieces of a Woman) and premiering at the Berlin Film Festival, it's filled with brief flashbacks and fleeting bursts of dance, all of which feel like they belong to a more interesting picture. Even Adams, who is at the center of the movie and as a performer has often transcended middling material (see also: Nightbitch), feels like she's been cast adrift.
So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we'd call "indie," and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here's a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.
Then López entered, dancing. Wearing a Popeye shirt, he raised one hand above his head and bounced like a pogo stick. Rocking through some b-boy footwork, he added Latin flavor, shimmying his shoulders. The official weighing (139.6 pounds) seemed merely an interruption to his dance as he continued prowling the stage. Stevenson was forced to walk over to him, so that the two could perform the next part of the ritual and stare at each other, eye to eye.
Printed in both color and black and white, images of dancers and friends took the form of abstract portraits, movement series, and pseudo-stop-motion, featuring local artists including Sophia Ahmed, Muffie Delgado-Connelly, Kenny Frechette, Takahuro Yamamoto, Emily Jones, Allie Hankins, performances by Lu Yim, and others. Layered, dark, and moody self-portraits of Krafcik from 2025 also plastered a dark-painted wall opposite some of the other images.
With over two decades dedicated to ballet and contemporary dance, Marcelo translates a sharp awareness of space, body, and energy into a visual language that prioritises presence over posing. His work is a deep exploration of the transition of masculinity, a journey he has lived from the 1990s to the present day. By dissolving the traditional boundaries between toughness and elegance, Marcelo's lens creates a dialogue where opposites are no longer divided, but united.
Tom Blyth, best known for playing young Coriolanus Snow in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, could soon become known for something more surprising: his dance moves. His most recent film, Plainclothes, in which he plays a closeted police officer who is hired to catch gay men cruising in public restrooms - and then falls for one of his targets - isn't exactly a laugh riot. But there's a small, tender moment where Blyth's Lucas and his mother, Marie (Maria Dizzia), dance around in the kitchen that's truly transcendent.
When Elvis Presley sings See the girl with the red dress on in his 1964 movie Viva Las Vegas, and points across the dancefloor, the gyrating girl in the red dress is Basil. When Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper take LSD at the end of Easy Rider with two sex workers, one of them is Basil. When dance troupe the Lockers showcase their pre-hip-hop street dance moves on Soul Train in 1976, it's six guys and Basil.
Fuse is an Italian digital art studio and production company led by founders Mattia Carretti and Luca Camellini, and a group of engineers, designers, architects and artists who stage artworks, shows and exhibits, including tonight's Dӧkk.
On a Tuesday night in Atwater Village, Teresa "Toogie" Barcelo is creating a portal. With her arms stretched out, she beckons the participants of her movement workshop, Wiggle Room, to join her on the other side, where they will meet a renewed version of themselves. "Walk into the next iteration of yourself," she commands. The participants, who have spent the last hour squirming, shaking and humming, cross the invisible threshold. Their limbs swing loosely, their smiling faces sticky with sweat.
As the curtain rises during The Stars of New York Dance competition, Cheryl Todmann hopes you will be in Brooklyn sitting in The Theater at City Tech.

Cumbo, Commissioner of NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, will be honored. But children will be the beneficiaries of the competition.
Eight spinning robot vacuums near the beginning of the Asian Art Museum's latest exhibition end up spraying around more of the hot pink glitter than they clean up. That's the point of the piece "Puff Out" by :MentalKLINIK. "If they want to rest, they rest," said Naz Cuguoğlu, the museum's assistant curator of contemporary art. "And if they want to party, they party." The same might be said for visitors to the dance-centric "Rave into the Future: Art in Motion," opening Friday, October 24.

A ticking clock, heavy breathing, the squeak of sneakers on the dance floor, and the voices of runners who came to the sport from unconventional backgrounds. These are the sounds that score choreographer Alyssa Mitchel's cast of dancers as they reinterpret what it means to push your body to its limits in Mitchel's new multimedia dance production, "Endure," at Dance Mission Theater, which has its first performance on Oct. 3.
My grandma, Millie, played a huge role in my life. I think a lot of people can relate to being really close to a grandparent and feeling that they understand you more than most. Millie was that person for me. When I was two years old, my mom was hospitalized for a couple of months with a broken ankle, so I stayed with Millie while she recovered. We both lived in Chicago.

Hunter emphasizes the importance of a Deaf-led organization in presenting the work of Deaf artists. Without proper access, many Deaf artists struggle to communicate their vision effectively.
"At 82, Christine Thynne is an emerging artist. Risk! There's a colossal amount of risk, Thynne says. She is about to perform her show, These Mechanisms, over three weeks at the Edinburgh fringe."
The dance is non-stop, a showcase for the tremendous dancers of her company, all quite different bodies but brilliant technicians, rooted in classicism with Tharp's easy synthesis of jazz, contemporary and vernacular dance forms.
"After forty years as Artistic Director of his eponymous company, the Stephen Petronio Dance Company, Petronio has decided to close shop—a financial decision brought on by shifting interests in both private and public sources of funding."
Looking for something new to read? Forget financing another hideous wedding for Jeff Bezos during Prime Day. Instead of Amazon, buy some books from the wonderful Bookshop.org online, which not only benefits local bookstores that you can designate, but also throws in free shipping until the end of the week for its Anti-Prime Day.
"I had been that overwhelmed undergraduate in real life, trying to keep up with demanding economics classes at Stanford University, while simultaneously dancing during a 46-week season as a member of San Francisco's corps de ballet."
Murphy, who performs on the lines with a crew of other dancers, said he used to design his routine around the original, single poles. 'With the single pole, you could do a lot. It's one pole, you could go crazy.' He said he used to be able to seamlessly twirl on any part of the single pole. Now he's relegated to the bottom half, just under where the pole splits, spinning just barely a foot off the ground.
