Performing Arts
OCTOBER: Get in the swing of autumn at PASS: With the changes, a full-length site-specific contemporary dance piece by performer and choreographer Janice Rosario. The project explores how the way we relate to each other and ourselves is dictated by the changing of the seasons. The aim is to unveil the human psyche through dance. Get your tickets today.
BONUS: Rosario will lead a free dance class at 5 PM before the performance event.
In the1960s, jetliners changed passenger travel forever. They also changed the lives of a few fortunate women. With the free screening of the Smithsonian Channel’s I Was A Jet Set Stewardess on September 22, go back to this golden age of commercial flight, when pilots looked like movie stars, passengers ate seven-course meals, and young, charming stewardesses became the glamorous faces of the industry.
