Nicholas Brothers: Stormy Weather
In the 1940s, virtuoso tap dancers, the Nicholas Brothers, performed a dance routine so seminal, it prefigured hip-hop dance by three decades. Contemporary dancers Les Twins, inspired by their story, bring this iconic routine out of the shadows, creating a modern incarnation of the groundbreaking original.
TENDER
"Tender" captures the dispersal of a monumental, yet nearly invisible public artwork by artist Jill Magid – the circulation into the economy of 120,000 U.S pennies—equivalent to the first $1,200 stimulus check issued by the U.S. Treasury as part of The CARES Act—throughout New York City bodegas via cash-in-transit trucks.
Shut Up And Paint
Painter Titus Kaphar looks to film as a medium in the face of an insatiable art market seeking to silence his activism.
Unspoken
A world-renowned ballet choreographer opens up the process to creating a masterpiece for his late father.
