City’s choice: dance
Pilobolus Dance Theatre kicks off an exciting
fall dance season in the greater Rochester
area. The company formed at DartmouthCollege in 1971 and since
then has become one of the top contemporary dance troupes in the nation. As
part of the 35th anniversary season, the dancers will perform three pieces: Walklyndon, a
slapstick silent piece from Pilobolus’ early years; Prism, a film noir-inspired piece set to
the music of Coldplay, Yo
La Tengo, and more; and Symbiosis, paired with music by the Kronos
Quartet.
Pilobolus Dance Theatre performs
Saturday, September 30, 8 p.m. at the Nazareth College Arts center, 4245 East Avenue,
389-2170. $35-$40. www.naz.edu/artscenter.
City’s choice: lectures
The Caroline Werner
Gannett Project seeks to yank science out of the classroom and explain its
effect on everyday life. The new lecture series, which starts Wednesday,
September 20, with Dr. Eugenie Scott on the topic “Making Sense of Biology,”
also covers topics ranging from why humans are susceptible to disease after
generations of evolution, to why stepparents treat their surrogate kids like
crap.
Lectures take place at 8 p.m. at R.I.T.’s
Ingle Auditorium., and are free to the public. For a full schedule or more
