"Femina" at the Guggenheim

"Works and Process," the Guggenheim's long running performing art series, commissioned choreographers Donald Byrd and Pam Tanowitz to create a new dance number set to John Zorn's work "Femina." The composition celebrates women artists from a number of disciplines: from avante garde artist Yoko Ono to the late American writer and poet Gertrude Stein. Performances are this Sunday and Monday only.

"La Boheme (Spoken)"

Director Jeremy Bloom adapted the classic opera about aspiring artists, empty pockets and young lovers into what he describes as a lyrical dialogue. Performances take place Thursday and Friday only at Chelsea's "The Cell: A Twenty First Century Salon."

The performance will take place this Friday at Lorenzo's cabaret room at the Hilton Garden Inn on Staten Island.
