Growling, flailing, kicking, screaming, the experimental British musician Aya clutched a microphone and ranted about her hormones. If anything, the progesterone is doing wonders right now, she cackled in her Yorkshire accent as she triggered an unpredictable minefield of bone-rattling bass and clattering breakbeats. The crowd in New York City's Knockdown Center on Friday whooped as their bodies moved without thought.

DMB started their 20-song set with “So Right” and “Warehouse” before doing an extended intro to “American Baby.” They busted out “Only Takes a Moment,” also known as “Cha Cha,” an unreleased song that the band hasn't played since 2023, according to DMB set trackers. The band also performed “Broken Things,” which is even rarer on setlists.

“They are overjoyed on those days,” said Ethan Chessin, the Camas High music teacher who pairs choir members with professional industry musicians on special projects to conceptualize, create, and share works each year. “I've had students tell me the only reason they want to come to choir is because they get to work with Lizzy. They've connected to her, and she's connected with them.”

Pen + Brush offers something far more seductive than another stop on the cultural circuit. It offers a place to exhale, gather, look, toast, move, and perhaps most importantly, remember that art has never belonged solely to hushed institutional rooms or the transactional glare of fairs. Art has always belonged to the body as much as the mind, to the dance floor as much as the gallery wall.

I usually start with the conceit: What if you had endless attempts at this one day? What would you do, and how long would it take you to break with your regular routines? This question explores how unlimited opportunities might fundamentally alter personal choices and established patterns of behavior.

The variety of guest artists joining Downes in the genre-defying, centuries-spanning program exemplify the nation's more optimistic themes-diversity, resilience, protest, and the power of American art.

Legendary New Yorker Fran Lebowitz is, once again, ready to tell you exactly what she thinks and, this time, you can hear it live. The sharp-tongued writer and cultural critic will return to the stage for two nights only this December, bringing both her acerbic observations and perfectly timed complaints to The Town Hall.

"Hopefully, it feels boundless in a good way. One of the things we've tried to do is make the experience intense and hard to describe, which is the point."

I hopped out of my bed because I needed to pee, and my left leg just collapsed under me and I fell to the floor. I couldn't even break the fall with my left arm because it wasn't working either. I tried to hop back up again, and I couldn't. I realized I had 'fallen and I can't get up!' It was this point I thought, 'Oh shit, I'm having a stroke! I still have a lot of great stuff in me, but right now I gotta lotta of rehabbing to do.'
