TICKETS + INFORMATION

Bringing Hip-Hop into mainstream Modern dance might no longer seem as (or at all) radical as it did when Rennie Harris started out 30 years ago — but Harris is still great. A piece like the 20-some-year-old one being revived here — one of Harris’s greatest hits, a Hip-Hop retelling of Romeo and Juliet — sure seems better now than, say, Gerald Arpino’s Trinity did 20 years on. (Because Hip-Hop and Hip-Hop culture are smarter and better than Rock and Rock culture? I didn’t say it.)

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: How nice that Basque fave Txikito is open again.
