Zoetic Dance Ensemble: Dirty Pretty

TL Pixley — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 20:37:04 +0000

Local modern dance company Zoetic Dance Ensemble held an open dress rehearsal prior to tonight’s premiere of Dirty Pretty. The show features multimedia components that enhance the stellar choreography instead of distracting from it and several quirky aspects that make it a highly engaging dance concert. The cute name doesn’t hurt either. See the show at 7 Stages Theater running from Oct. 30-Nov. 1 at 8 p.m. each evening.

BET Awards red carpet

The BET Awards were held in Atlanta at the Civic Center Oct. 18 and, like any red carpet event, it was a visual feast and fiasco. The throngs of press, publicists and hangers-on could have filled a high school football stadium. But instead they were packed behind ropes and in designated areas.

Rubbing shoulders with stars while feigning disinterest is an art form that most in attendance Saturday seem to have perfected. The screams that occasionally came from outside the heavily-secured gates would lead one to think that being inside those gates is what some dreams are made of. But the reality, at least from this photographer’s point of view, is sadly more mundane — glittering and glossy as much of celebrity is, but tiring nonetheless.

N.E.R.D. and Janelle Monae at The Tabernacle

When hip-pop acts the likes of these industry contenders come together, it is almost always a loud, colorful and beautiful thing. Janelle Monae jump-started Wednesday night’s performance at The Tabernacle with her signature antics and stomach-humming voice. N.E.R.D. followed it up with so much jumping around that, between them and the also height-achieving crowd, the floor rarely stopped shaking.

Tommy Hilfiger is promoting his recent partnering with Macy’s by holding signings at three Macy’s in America and bringing heartthrob crooner Gavin DeGraw along for the ride. The two appeared at the Lenox Mall Macy’s Sat., Sept. 13 to sign autographs, smile a lot and then sing for the adoring mass of tweens, teens and mommies.

We Are All One Block Party

A fifteen-hour block party at The Five Spot in Little Five Points brings out all kinds of people ready to love, laugh and dance together. And that was the point of the We Are All One Block Party held August 16. With film screenings, live bands, poets, DJ’s spinning, masseuses on hand and a live graffiti creation going on, the block was defnitely hot. And unified.
