A page from Alvin Aileys notebooks. (via Whitney Museum of American Art via The New York Times)
NEW YORK, NY.- The name Ailey is synonymous with dance. Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is more than a company: Its a brand, an integral piece of the cultural fabric of this country. Its huge. But somehow the man who created the Ailey empire has become lost inside it, obscured as if by an eclipse. Alvin Ailey was a choreographer who seamlessly melded dance forms, a dancer of extraordinary strength and beauty, and a man a queer man with an expansive, restless ... More | |

Surprise! A class of college seniors learns their tuition will be free.NEW YORK, NY.- The first day of the semester at the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York on Tuesday came with a surprise for seniors that will make them the envy of college students everywhere. Their tuition for the year will be free. The announcement marks an unexpected milestone in the colleges effort to return to free tuition for all students, a model that had distinguished Cooper Union, a school for art, architecture and engineering, for nearly all of its 165-year history. The students learned of the gift just before 1 p.m. at their annual convocation. The schools Great Hall, where Abraham Lincoln gave an address in 1860, erupted with cheers. It was electric, said Talmadge Parnell-Ward, an art student. Everyone jumped up immediately. ... More 'The Notebook' will end its Broadway run in December. A tour is next.NEW YORK, NY.- The Notebook, a musical adapted from the bestselling novel by Nicholas Sparks, will end its Broadway run Dec. 15 after struggling to find sufficient ticket buyers during a competitive spring and summer. But this is not the end of the road for the musical. The producers, who announced the closing Friday, said they plan a national tour of the show starting next September at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. Some musicals, particularly those with well-known titles, fare better on tour than in New York. The musical, like the 1996 book and a 2004 film adaptation, is about a lifelong romance, told from the perspective of an older couple, one of whom has Alzheimers disease. Featuring songs by Ingrid Michaelson and a book by Bekah Brunstetter, The Notebook is directed by Michael Greif and Schele Williams. The show began previews Feb. 10 and op ... More The Black List helped reshape Hollywood. Can it change publishing?NEW YORK, NY.- For nearly 20 years, Franklin Leonard has made it his mission to help undiscovered writers find an audience. In 2005, he started the Black List an annual survey of Hollywoods best unproduced screenplays. Over the years, the Black List evolved to include a website that has hosted tens of thousands of scripts, TV pilots and plays, and became an indispensable tool for studios and producers. More than 400 screenplays that landed on the Black Lists annual survey have been produced, including acclaimed films such as Spotlight, Slumdog Millionaire and The Kings Speech. Now, Leonard is tackling another industry in which writers struggle, and mostly fail, to break through: publishing. Hes adding novel manuscripts to the Black List, aiming to crack the perennial problem of the slush pile. Aspiring novelists can now post manus ... More Internet Archive loses court appeal in fight over online lending librarySAN FRANCISCO, CA.- When libraries across the country temporarily closed in the early days of the pandemic, the Internet Archive, an organization that digitizes and archives materials like webpages and music, had the idea to make its library of scanned books free to read in an online database. The question of that librarys legality became a long-running saga that may have finally ended Wednesday, when an appeals court affirmed that the Internet Archive violated copyright laws by redistributing those books without a licensing agreement. The decision, by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York, is a victory for the major book publishers that brought the lawsuit in 2020, and could set a precedent over the lawfulness of broader digital archives. The defendant attempted to do what no one had done before, which was to call ... More Harry Styles' favorite designer returnsNEW YORK, NY.- Even in the context of end-of-summer, back-to-school Septembers, this September is going to be a doozy. Not just a return to real life, but crammed with attention-demanding events: the U.S. Open finals, the Harris-Trump debate, the Emmys (which have turned into a mini-Oscars, thanks to streaming). How will fashion month, which begins in New York this week before moving on to London, Milan and Paris, ever compete? By accessorizing with associated content. Heres what to know about what may break through the noise. New York Fashion Week officially begins Friday not with a glitzy kickoff cocktail or a news conference about the value of fashion to the municipal economy, but with
a march! Yes, the Council of Fashion Designers of America and Vogue have teamed up with the nonprofit I Am a Voter to organize a nonpartisan ... More V&A announces new exhibitions for 2025 spanning Cartier to Marie Antoinette, and design and disability to ancient EgyptLONDON.- The V&A revealed newly announced exhibitions as part of its upcoming programme for 2025.

More The truth about Patti LuPone and Mia FarrowNEW YORK, NY.- Sweet and sour? Patti LuPone suggested, as if considering options on a menu. She looked questioningly at Mia Farrow, who was sitting next to her in a small atelier in a midtown Manhattan hotel. We were in the heat-soaked throes of early August, and the women had just arrived, depleted, from what they described as an airless rehearsal room nearby. I dont know, LuPone said. Its kind of negative, the sour
. She hesitated. SALTY! she then exclaimed, in the clarion voice that has resonated from so many stages over the past five decades. Sweet and salty. LuPone was trying to define the yin and yang of the most unexpected double act of the new Broadway season. Farrow (she would be the sweet) and LuPone (salty) are the stars and entire cast of Jen Silvermans The Roommate, which is in previews ... More What if orchestras were more like Netflix?NEW YORK, NY.- Perhaps you spend your mornings at the gym, working out with the help of a playlist on Spotify. In the evening, you wind down with Netflix or a movie on Max. As you go to bed, you might even open a meditation app to help you fall asleep. Then you wake up, and do it all again. A routine like that is built on memberships that provide unlimited access to something for a monthly fee, and are tightly woven into our lives in part because theyre convenient. (Dangerously so: Im far from alone in having realized too late how many free trials have turned into valves quietly hoovering up money from my bank account.) Why, then, have they not caught on in classical music performances? The model could go something like this: You pay a monthly membership fee to your local symphony orchestra that entitles you to attend however much youd like. ... More Collector sues to block investigators from seizing Roman bronzeNEW YORK, NY.- A California collector has gone to court to block efforts by New York investigators to seize an ancient Roman bronze statue that they assert was looted from Turkey in the 1960s. In a federal court filing last week in California, lawyers for the collector, Aaron Mendelsohn, 74, disputed the evidence they said investigators had presented indicating that the ancient statue of a man was stolen from an archaeological site in Turkey. The lawyers said investigators had no jurisdiction to seize items in California and so were overstepping their authority. It was the latest in a series of recent challenges to efforts by the Manhattan district attorneys office to seize artifacts believed to have been looted. The Cleveland Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago are also engaged in legal challenges with the investigators over items with disputed histories. In Mendelsohns case, his lawyers have accused the ... More |

Flashback On a day like today, German artist Caspar David Friedrich was born September 05, 1774. Caspar David Friedrich (September 5, 1774 - May 7, 1840) was a 19th-century German Romantic landscape painter, generally considered the most important German artist of his generation. He is best known for his mid-period allegorical landscapes which typically feature contemplative figures silhouetted against night skies, morning mists, barren trees or Gothic ruins. In this image: Two visitors watch the painting "Kreidefelsen auf Ruegen" from 1818 from painter Caspar David Friedrich at the museum Folkwang in Essen, Germany, May 2, 2006. The exhibition "Caspar David Friedrich - Invention of romance" shows a retrospective of the great German painter from May 5 to August 20, 2006.
