From New York 03/07/08Stamina 2008 permalinkThis is amazing. Stamina 2008 is Agathe Snow’s entry to the 2008 Whitney Biennial. It’s an open, free, 8-day Dance-A-Thon. There are daily dance sessions throughout the Park Avenue Armory over the course of a week, culminating in a twentyfour- hour dance marathon on the last day. Dancers are issued time cards to record their participation, and at the end of the week the winner—whoever has danced the longest—is announced. All are welcome to particpate and you can sign up here. Also, check out the list of djs. It’s crazy long!

From New York 03/04/08Viva Radio’s Adolescent Sessions permalinkThe Adolescent Sessions is a monthly event that stashes bands (like Sian Alice Group, pictured above) in the basement of UnionDocs in Brooklyn while the “audience” watches their performance upstairs on screen. Both voyeuristic and creepy, we’re intrigued by this experimental twist on the way we’re used to experiencing bands perform live.
