Lucinda Childs: Dance at The Whitney
Lucinda Childs: Dance, brings together material that choreographer Lucinda Childs, composer Philip Glass, and artist Sol LeWitt generated for Dance, commissioned by the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 1979. Glass’s musical score formed the framework for Childs’s choreography, to which LeWitt responded by creating a 35mm black-and-white film of the dancers performing passages selected from each of three dances. The materials on display include drawings by Childs; three large storyboard diagrams by LeWitt related to the making of the film for Dance; the original score by Glass for ‘Dance # I’; black and white photographs from the first performance of Dance in 1979 by Nathaniel Tileston; and a video of a performance of Dance in Paris in 1991. Seen together, the material reveals the working process behind a unique performative collaboration by three key figures.
Through November 8.
The Whitney is located on Madison Avenue at 75th Street.

In celebration of Columbus Day, we thought we’d point out a convenient local source for spices — Kalustyan’s at 123 Lexington Avenue at 27th Street.
Kalustyan’s offers a bountiful selection of teas, spices, culinary and medicinal herbs, including an aphrodisiac tea – which in itself blends 32 herbs and spices.
Today you can also enjoy the Columbus Day Parade on 5th Avenue, from 44th to 79th Streets , from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
And the Veneto Jazz Festival continues at Grand Central, from 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm with Daryl Sherman on piano.
