if you are in los angeles don't miss this event! mikhail baryshnikov performs for one evening only in los angeles this monday, june 7, as a benefit for the merce cunningham dance company and REDCAT (the roy & edna disney/calarts theater). the costumes for the evening were designed by romeo gigli (still love and miss his designs!) and the event is hosted by marisa tomei. a special screening of acclaimed filmmaker charles atlas' with merce will also be shown. tickets for this benefit gala are still available and can be purchased here. what a great way to give back to the arts and see a legendary dancer. i saw him dance once years and years ago and it was magical.
