A Hollywood remake of your fast-food memoriesNEW YORK, NY.- The air smelled of yeast and cheese and weed, and though what I had in front of me looked like a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut, it was in fact a more expensive dupe. Some of the original pizzas flaws had been airbrushed and overwritten, as in a favorite childhood memory. No veins of raw dough, no discouraging sweat of vegetable oil. The best qualities of the original were exaggerated in a buttery, gold-washed bottom and a fine, crackly edge, draped with a light brown confetti of cheese. The puff and fluff of the dough were doubled, bubbly and weightless. Whats hard to explain is why this pizza this impostor pizza felt more like a Pizza Hut pizza than the source material. Chef Tim Hollingsworth made it for what he called Pizza Haute, one of the meticulous themed dinners he cooks at Chain in Los Angeles, a regular ... More A pathbreaking singer arrives at the Met, With pearls and tattoosNEW YORK, NY.- Bass-baritone Davóne Tines, wearing Dr. Martens boots, a sleeveless black shirt and six vintage pearl rings, stood on a rehearsal stage at the Metropolitan Opera in Manhattan the other day and began to sing. My souls above the sea and whistling a dream, he sang, a passage from the Nativity oratorio El Niño by John Adams, in which Tines makes his Met debut this month. Tell the shepherds the wind is saddling its horse. Tines, 37, known for his raw intensity and thundering voice, has quickly become one of classical musics brightest stars. He has won acclaim for performances of Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frederick Handel and Igor Stravinsky, and he has helped champion new music, originating roles in operas including Adams Girls of the Golden West and Terence Blanchards Fire Shut Up in My Bones. Tines has also used his art to confront social problems, in ... More At Harlem stage, bringing downtown dance uptownNEW YORK, NY.- Since the inception of Harlem Stages dance series E-Moves 25 years ago, that E has stood for several categories of artists: Emerging. Evolving. Established. But the series itself has always stood for one goal in particular: providing space and resources for artists of color to develop their work. We found that there was an uneven playing field, Harlem Stages artistic director, Patricia Cruz, said recently about the series origins. Choreographers of color, especially African American ones, had less support, she said: We provided that platform. To date, the series has helped more than 300 dance artists. One of its intended effects has been to take choreographers who work mainly downtown, in white-dominated dance institutions, and bring them uptown to Harlem. For the 25th anniversary season, Cruz invited back five major ... More In 'Sally & Tom,' plantation scandal meets backstage farceNEW YORK, NY.- If I were reviewing The Pursuit of Happiness, produced by a low-budget-no-budget troupe called Good Company, I might note that the subtlety, cleverness and humanity with which it approaches the story of Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson come as quite a surprise. After all, Good Company is best known for politically charged, finger-waggy provocations like Patriarchy on Parade and Listen Up, Whitey, Cause Its All Your Fault work that leaves audiences running for the exits while casts bid them farewell with the bird. But The Pursuit of Happiness isnt real: Its the play within Suzan-Lori Parks backstager Sally & Tom, which opened Tuesday at the Public Theater. Still, my review stands except for one thing. The subtlety, cleverness and humanity with which Sally & Tom approaches the story of Hemings and Jefferson, dazzlingly doubled in the story of ... More Magdalena Wosinska's 'Fulfill the Dream' opens at The Fahey/Klein GalleryLOS ANGELES, CA.- The Fahey/Klein Gallery announced the debut solo exhibition of Magdalena Wosinska, held in conjunction with the release of her newest monograph, Fulfill the Dream.

Through intimate portraits she explores the complexities of selfhood, highlighting the interplay between inner emotions and outward appearances. Her subjects are portrayed genuinely, without artifice or ... More Sworders to sell Louis Vuitton luggage collection from gentleman who travelled in style - with his rubber duckSTANSTED MOUNTFICHET.- An extraordinary single-owner collection of 37 pieces of Louis Vuitton luggage including a bespoke trunk made for a large rubber duck - comes to auction this spring.

More Let's keep this vintage fashion boutique just between usNEW YORK, NY.- Vintage-clothing aficionados are either pawing through piles of polyester looking for that one treasure, arms itching and aching ... or paying an obscene amount for something that the passage of time has made fragile, even if it doesnt have sweat stains (and it might!). Robyn Goldberg, owner of the Kit Vintage, shows a glamorous middle way. At her store on Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles, there are just a few racks, but whats there, to quote Spencer Tracy in Pat and Mike, is cherce. With the help of Goldberg, a special-occasions specialist who also does a brisk bridal business, you will discover the work of unjustly forgotten designers like Mary Ann Restivo, Bill Tice and Luis Estévez among the Vuitton and Versace. Accessible vintage luxury is the goal, she said. I want someone to be able to come in and take it home ... More Anne Innis Dagg, who studied giraffes in the wild, dies at 91NEW YORK, NY.- Anne Innis Dagg, who broke ground in the 1950s as one of the worlds first biologists to study giraffes in the wild, then spent decades fighting sexism at Canadian universities before finding long-overdue acclaim in the 2010s, died April 1 in Kitchener, Ontario, west of Toronto. She was 91. Alison Reid, who documented Daggs life in the 2018 film The Woman Who Loves Giraffes, said the cause of her death, at a hospital, was pneumonia. Dagg was often called the Jane Goodall of giraffes, but in a different world the attribution might have been reversed. Dagg traveled to Africa in 1956, four years before Goodall did her first fieldwork with primates; in fact, she is believed to have been the first Western scientist to study African animals of any type in the wild. At the time, very little was known about the behavior of giraffes, ... More FKA twigs dances Martha Graham: 'This Is Art in Its Truest Form'NEW YORK, NY.- The rebellious spirit of Martha Graham has found a rebellious soul mate in another creative powerhouse. A classically trained dancer, shes known in the world as an acclaimed recording artist. She moves like water. Her pole dancing is pretty astounding, too. This is FKA twigs. On Thursday, she will make her debut as a dancer with the Graham company in the solo Satyric Festival Song (1932). To me, this is, honestly, like winning a Grammy, she said. I feel like Im winning a Grammy. At the companys gala performance, FKA twigs will slip into her costume, a bold and graphic striped dress designed by Graham. She will pop into the air as if the floor were on fire. She will twist and bend her body into jagged edges. And she will tease the audience with tilts of the head and dancing, expressive eyes. This is a solo inspired by rituals ... More |
