Smutty, sexy, smart.  The downtown performance scene is as hot as ever. Watch a performance from a recent party.

Under the Radar, Mark Russell’s international festival of contemporary theater, is now in its sixth year, and it’s bigger than ever: 20 shows over 12 days through January 17th, spread out at spaces around the city in addition to its home base, the Public Theater.

Writing January wish lists is much more fun than trying to sum up the past decade. Here are 10 things that will never happen in 2010:

Friday, Dec. 25
11:30am-4pm // Upper East Side
The Jewish Museum hosts A Family Celebration, a day-long event featuring a Klezmer concert, tours and kid-friendly activities.

Brooklyn choreographer Reggie Wilson and Andréya Ouamba of Senegal have been collaborators for seven years.  Their newest work, The Good Dance — dakar/brooklyn, stretches from the Congo River to the Mississippi Delta.

That's right, folks: our December outing will also mark our one-year anniversary (nothing like the paper anniversary for an online club...).

P. Club organizer Claudia La Rocco reports back on two recent Performa events: a problematic panel discussion called "Writing Live" and Christian Tomaszewski and Joanna Malinowska's Soviet sci-fi fashion show.

It's possible for a ground-breaking artist to maintain their magic touch even after decades of work.  That's what Performance Club organizer Claudia La Rocco found with Richard Foreman's Idiot Savant.

Doris Humphrey’s 1959 book The Art of Making Dances is part of the bedrock of modern dance, a work that has functioned as a how-to guide for untold choreographers in the 50 years since it was published.

November is upon us, the weather is nicer than it was in July and the Performance Club has two events coming up. Mark your calendars and let me know if you're in or out.

On Saturday I boarded a bus in East Harlem for "The Provenance of Beauty," the Foundry Theatre's tour of the South Bronx. I have mixed feelings about this being the Performance Club's smallest outing ever (just two of us!): on one hand I would *really* like to hear other reactions. On the other, I'm happy none of you shelled out for what I found to be an irritating, offensive and thoroughly misguided work.
