"Modern Moves" Presented By The New York City Ballet Young Patron's Circle
Even if you're working with a recent-grad's budget, that doesn't mean you can't enjoy a little fancy art and culture in NYC. This week the New York City Ballet Young Patron's Circle will be presenting three ballets —Alexei Ratmansky's "Russian Seasons," Christopher Wheeldon's "DGV: Danse à Grande Vitesse," and a new ballet by Benjamin Millepied — with tickets starting as low as $30. That price is way less painful than toe shoes ever were.
When: Wednesday, May 16, 7:30 p.m.
Where: David H. Kock Theatre, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, 212-870-5500.
The Met's Cloud City
When you hear Cloud City you may think storms are brewing, but at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it's quite the contrary. Thanks to Argentinian artist, Tomás Saraceno, you can now visit an interactive sculpture on the museum's roof. Mirrored and modular structures cluster together to create a new way of interacting with the space on the roof and the city, reflected in the spheres. Ironically, we're guessing this amazing exhibit will be best experienced on a sunny day.
When: May 15 through November 4
Where:The Met, 1000 5th Avenue (at 82nd street); 212-535-7710.
