Must Marvel
Sculptor Chris Antemann’s “Forbidden Fruit” at BAM

Must Watch
Dana Michel’s Yellow Towel at On the Boards
(3/3 to 3/6, times vary) Montreal-based choreographer and performer Dana Michel’s current work, Yellow Towel, was inspired by her childhood practice of wrapping such an item around her head to emulate the blonde girls in her midst. Based upon this memory, she creates a performance alter ego, at once familiar and grotesque, through which she explores racial stereotypes.
