City Guide's calendar of free things to do in Manhattan shows off all the incredible things New York offers at no expense. Museums, parks, concerts, and popups are only the beginning of the rich offerings you can find here. From Downtown to Midtown to Uptown, check out City Guide's suggestions for great free events in Manhattan. First North American Stage Adaptation of "Near to the Wild Heart" by Clarice Lispector - New Stage Performance Space Ildiko Nemeth, Artistic Director of New Stage Theatre Company, is bringing her signature blend of multimedia, inventive choreography and striking visual design to the first English-language stage adaptation of "Near to the Wild Heart," the modernist masterpiece by Clarice Lispector (1920-1977). The Brazilian-Jewish novelist is now the object of a long-overdue surge of worldwide literary popularity. "Near to the Wild Heart" (1943), her sensational debut novel, is the story of a woman trapped in a passionless marriage. Rather than a conventional plot, it offers us a woman's inner life that is as clear and lustrous as any in world literature. Nemeth adapts "Near to the Wild Heart" into a multimedia theatre piece that evokes a rich, expansive female interior as it dramatizes the life and passions of the book's heroine. Her playscript employs verbatim excerpts of Alison Entrekin's faithful translation to reflect--as much as possible--the novel's unique voice and literary effect. The book has been adapted to the stage only twice before and both times in French: in Paris in 2007 and in Belgium in 2008. Tribute to Jimmy Scott - Nora McCarthy Quintet - Triad Theater NYC based Jazz vocal artist, composer and poet, Nora McCarthy and her Quintet, comprised of world renowned musicians will present a night of romantic, beautiful ballads and other jazz classics attributed to the legendary song stylist Jimmy Scott including McCarthys original composition Faith In Time, Jimmys Song inspired by Scotts life story. Her tribute to Jimmy Scott at the Triad Theater is an homage to Scott who shares the same hometown as McCarthy, Cleveland, Ohio, and who she credits as a major influence in her life and music.The Nora McCarthy Quintet Members:Nora McCarthy - VoiceJorge Sylvester - Alto SaxophoneMarvin Sewell - Guitar(s)Kuba Chichocki - PianoGene Torres - BassKenny Grohowski - DrumsPresale Tickets Available Now Jason Moran & the Bandwagon - Village Vanguard Jason Moran is a specialist in the field of jazz abstraction.

See Kehinde Wileys First Monumental Public Sculpture Rumors of War in Times Square - Broadway Plaza between 46th and 47th Streets World-renowned visual artist Kehinde Wileys first ever monumental public sculpture and largest work to date, Rumors of War, is now on display in Times Square until December 1 on the Broadway Plaza between 46th and 47th Streets.

The Last Taboos Literary Salon: This Land Is Our Land - KGB Bar Perrottet in conversation with Suketu Mehta , author of the Pulitzer-nominated Maximum City: Bombay Lost and Found and his controversial new polemic, This Land Is Our Land: An Immigrant's Manifesto. Saint Vitus Presents Batushka - Gramercy Theatre Age Restriction: 16+ Unless Accompanied by a GuardianAs civilisation continues to eat itself, heavy music's dark spiritual quest has never seemed more vital. Emerging from the shadows of eastern Poland back in 2015, Batushka have already established themselves as one of the modern era's most powerful and evocative bands. Harnessing the fire and fury of arcane black metal and channelling it through the reverberant grandeur of ancient rituals of worship, the band's debut album Litourgiya stood apart from the extreme metal hordes: a monument to originality, depth and dark mysticism that swiftly cast its spell over the metal underground and beyond. Harlem Jazz Series - Tony Lewis Trio - Greater Calvary Baptist Church Tony Lewis is a drummer/songwriter from the South Bronx, New York who has worked with a variety of stellar artists including Little Richard, Sting, Cyndi Lauper, Rakim, Sam Moore (Sam and Dave), Michael Hill's Blues Mob, and Craig Harris.'My defining moment in choosing to play the drums came from watching cats and listening. My dad, who used to play himself, was always bringing home Down Beat magazine so I would look at all the drum ads with Max Roach, Louie Bellson and Ed Shaughnessy of the Tonight Show band fame, Bernard Purdie, Jack DeJohnette, and Billy Cobham. One particular visual for me was watching the movie "The Glenn Miller Story" with James Stewart from 1954. There's a scene where he's performing (or acting like he is) in a little club jammin' with Louis Armstrong. In the club there's another drummer, the great Cozy Cole playing. Another drumming legend Gene Krupa, who played with Miller in real life happens to be in the club. So, the two start playing together on the same kit.

An Evening of Indian Classical Music - Carnegie Hall PerformersArtists to be announced Shannon Mattern: Urban Algorithms - The Cooper Union, 41 Cooper Square Human bodies often render their internal operations audible, and for centuries healers have used auscultation the practice of listening to the body, typically aided by gadgets and machines to assess the body's health and diagnose ailments. Cities, likewise, have lent themselves to sonic analysis, and they've been likened to both bodies and machines. This talk examines how methods of urban listening, through human and machinic ears, have "sounded out" the city as an organic or machinic body and how new artificially intelligent ears are "scoring" the city in accordance with their own computational logic.

Diaspora - Parasol Projects 498 Broome Street Being a resident of a foreign country opens up a person's mind to new realities like very few other experiences can. As a stranger in a strange land, one is forced to come to terms with how indifferent the cosmos is to one's identity and that if one is to survive let alone thrive, a process of assimilation has to occur. As a result, one has to find a new identity that allows one to live at least marginally in one's new home.At this charity event, through panel discussion and interactive exhibition, we explore what this identity looks like for Africans living in the U.S. through the eyes of both Africans and Americans.

Prior to starting the brand, both artists worked under other jewelers -- Malu worked with Gabriella Kiss, and Rick with Robin Renzi of Me & Ro. The two designers crossed paths nearly 10 years ago, at a coffee shop, bonding over Baroque art and marble statues. When Byrne began creating her own designs of sculptural jewels made of glass, Rick Van stepped in to cast the jewels into precious metals-- and the brand was created. When deciding on a name, the pair landed on En -- the Japanese word for together. We will be showcasing their debut collection and never seen before holiday pieces during the trunk show. Both Malu and Rick will be in attendance and available for any questions about the brand or collections! Our assortment will include a range of rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings in precious stones at affordable prices.

Dempsey Theater The gospel musical stage play THE EMPTY BOX sheds light on the merging of two families with different perceptions, belief systems and levels of faith.Paris was taught to see only what is directly in front of her.

She was comfortable with her life until she met the smart, kind and handsome Bryson Robbins. Brysons story is different from Paris in that his family could not offer him financial wealth but rather taught him the importance of having a relationship with God. Brysons struggles has made him a prayer warrior, a dreamer and allows him to see what others do not.Watch as this couple along with their families try to bridge their different beliefs.

The images populating Alex Sewells paintings archive an ongoing dialectic between the artists personal memory and the collective identity of the American psyche. A restive sense of melancholy threads through each work on exhibit using a disarmingly personable tone. Sewell meticulously destabilizes all-too-familiar vistas of American suburbia, imposing a translucent scrim of violence onto objects ordinarily earmarked for passive consumption. Video games, television, toys of every kind become eerily macabre, giving the lie to the placid everydayness of his themes. PAPER BORDERS - International Print Center New York International Print Center New York is pleased to announce its first two-person exhibition, Paper Borders, which brings into dialogue the works of Emma Nishimura (b. 1982, Toronto) and Tahir Carl Karmali (b. 1987, Nairobi), artists who share a commitment to unearthing historical and ongoing stories of migration, trans-generational memory, and xenophobia. Using the materiality of print and handmade paper, the two- and three-dimensional works in this exhibition speak to cross-cultural and deeply embedded global struggles. Here, the precarity of paper becomes a metaphor for the precarity of place.

Verdi: Creating Otello and Falstaff - The Morgan Library & Museum After Aida in 1871, except for occasional projects, Giuseppe Verdi (18131901), Italy's pre-eminent composer, retired from opera at the age of 58. This, however, did not prevent constant pleas from his publisher, Giulio Ricordi (18401912), and his future librettist, Arrigo Boito (18421918), for the maestro to return to the operatic stage. Reluctantly coaxed out of retirement, Verdi composed what would become the crowning achievements of his career: Otello, premiered in 1887 and Falstaff, in 1893. This exhibition, based on The Enterprise of Opera - Verdi, Boito, Ricordi created by Bertelsmann/Ricordi and curated by Gabriele Dotto is the first in the United States to present rare documents and artifacts from Milan's Ricordi Archive and will offer visitors insight into the production of these two operas as well as the complex enterprise of bringing an opera to life.

Based on the Greek mathematical theory of the Golden Ratio, the series takes its title from the Haitian French dialect in Sonnier's native Louisiana for 'bath of color' or 'light bath.' They are quintessential examples of Sonnier's ability to masterfully synthesize architecture and light, speaking to a formal inventiveness that has defined nearly six decades of work.

John Singer Sargent: Portraits in Charcoal - The Morgan Library & Museum John Singer Sargent (18561925) was one of the greatest portrait artists of his time. While he is best known for his powerful paintings, he largely ceased painting portraits in 1907 and turned instead to charcoal drawings to satisfy portrait commissions. These drawn portraits represent a substantial, yet often overlooked, part of his practice, and they demonstrate the same sense of immediacy, psychological sensitivity, and mastery of chiaroscuro that animate Sargent's sitters on canvas. The first major exhibition to explore the artist's expressive portraits in charcoal, John Singer Sargent: Portraits in Charcoal will recognize the sheer scale of Sargent's achievement as a portrait draftsman. Important international loans, from both public and private collections, will showcase Sargent's sitters, many of them famous for their roles in politics, society, and the arts. The exhibition will also explore the friendships and the networks of patronage that underpinned Sargent's practice as a portrait draftsman in Edwardian Britain and Progressive Era America. Exhibition, Works by Asian 'New Yorker' Cartoonists - Pearl River Mart Gallery ASIAN BABIES: WORKS FROM ASIAN NEW YORKER CARTOONISTS, a collection of the work of ten cartoonists of Asian descent who have contributed to The New Yorker magazine, from 1949 till today, will gather together in one exhibition for the first time.The exhibition opens Oct. 4 and is on view through Jan. 12.

Big Apple Circus - Damrosch Park at Lincoln Center An astonishing circus world of wonder! Big Apple Circus at the Damrosch Park, New York, NY. October 12, 2019 - February 2, 2020 Guercino: Virtuoso Draftsman - The Morgan Library & Museum Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, known as Guercino (15911666), was arguably the most interesting and diverse draftsman of the Italian Baroque era, a natural virtuoso who created brilliant drawings in a broad range of media. The Morgan owns more than twenty-five works by the artist, and these are the subject of a focused exhibition, supplemented by a handful of loans from public and private New York collections, to be held at the Morgan in the autumn of 2019. The exhibition will include sheets from all moments of the artist's career. His early awareness of the work of the Carracci in Bologna is documented by figures drawn from everyday life as well as brilliant caricatures; two drawings for Guercino's own drawing manual are further testament to his interest in questions of academic practice. Following his career, a range of preparatory drawings includes studies made in connection with his earliest altarpieces as well as his mature masterpieces, including multiple studies for several projects, allowing the visitor to see Guercino's mind at work as he reconsidered his ideas. The Morgan's holdings also include studies for engravings, as well as highly finished landscape and figure drawing... (read more) Illusions of the Photographer: Duane Michals at the Morgan - The Morgan Library & Museum Contemplative, confessional, and comedic, the art of Duane Michals exerts an appeal that transcends the conventional audience of photography. Since the early 1960s, Michals has worked past what he sees as the limitations of the camera: he writes in the margins of his prints, creates sequences of images that explore intangible human dilemmas (doubt, mortality, desire), and derives poetic effects from technical errors such as double exposure and motion blur. Illusions of the Photographer combines a full career retrospectivethe first on Michals to be organized by a New York City museumwith an artist's-choice show, as Michals plumbs the Morgan's vaults for treasures both revered and long-forgotten.

| Posted: 01 Apr 2019 12:00 AM PDT WE HAVE been keeping up with the Kardashians for over a decade now with the sixteenth series of the show kicking off in the States last night. And it's fair to say that the world's most talked about family has come a long way since they first hit our screens back in 2007. Here we take a look at how they've changed. Kim 6 Easily the most famous member of the 'klan', Kim Kardashian used to be best known as Paris Hilton's bff. She has since abandoned her penchant for hoop earrings and halter-necks for more daring fashion pieces, most notably skin tight PVC. She became the poster girl for contouring, with her sheeny lipgloss days now well and truly behind her. The most dramatic change of course is the fact the Kim went from a Kardashian to a Kardashian-West when she married Kanye in 2014. She is now mum to North, five, Saint, three and Chicago, 14 months and has a fourth baby on the way via surrogate. Kourtney 6 Like Kim, Kourtney was a fan of the halter neck top and hooped earrings combo and has followed suit with a far sleeker style. The first series of the reality show saw a 27-year-old Kourtney introducing her then 24-yer-old boyfriend Scott Disick. The couple went on to have three children together but later split amid cheating allegations in 2017. And despite the turbulent end to the relationship, the former couple have remained friends for the sake of their children. Meanwhile the mum-of-three, 39, barely seems to have aged a day. Religiously sticking to an organic diet has enabled the star to keep her figure trim, although she has admitted to having breast enhancement surgery. Khloe 6 Khloe, 34, was a fresh-faced 22 when the pilot episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians aired. Since then she has gone through an incredible weight loss transformation, working out up to five times a week. Since shedding the pounds, Khloe regularly flaunts her enviable figure in revealing outfits. It has been a somewhat challenging year for the star who split from Tristan Thompson, the father of her daughter True, after he cheated on her with Kylie Jenner's former best friend Jordyn Woods. However, Khloe has come away with her head held high thanks to the support of the Kardashian klan. Kendall 6 Fresh-faced Kendall was just 13 when she first appeared in KUWTK. It didn't take long for the pretty teen to land herself a modelling contract, where she's raked in the cash by collaborating with a number of different high-end brands and companies. After being voted by GQ as the "coolest person in the world" in 2015, stylish Kendall has taken the fashion industry by storm. According to Forbes, she was one of the highest paid models in the world in 2016, earning upwards of $7million thanks to her work with brands including Victoria's Secret, Chanel and Calvin Klein. However, her modelling career famously landed her in hot water in 2017 when she starred in a £40 million Pepsi advert which was described as "tasteless" and "tone deaf" as it piggy backed on the Black Lives Matter and the Women's March to flog fizzy drinks. The ad was pulled almost immediately and Kendall admitted she "felt bad" about the fiasco in an episode of KUWTK. Kylie 6 The family's youngest daughter, who was just 9 when she first appeared on the show, Kylie has become known for her social media presence. She has become a make-up mogul since she launched her own make-up brand, Kylie Cosmetics, and last year was named the youngest self-made billionaire of all time. Despite her drastic change in appearance, she has only ever admitted to having lip fillers, and was forced to furiously deny she had cheek or jaw surgery, bum implants or a boob job in October 2016. Two years later she revealed that she'd had her lip fillers removed sharing a snap of her new pout captioning it "I got rid of all my filler" but admitted in a later Instagram story that she had them "touched up". Kylie also became a mother for the first time last year when she and Travis Scott welcomed Stormi Webster in February. Kris 6 Momager Kris Jenner has put her name to a number of exciting projects.

She is also still in charge of all of her children's careers, which has helped her build a £45 million fortune. She is now a grandmother-of-nine, but at the age of 63, she hardly looks old enough to have six grown up children. Elsewhere, we applaud the stars who prove age is no barrier to turning heads following latex-clad Jennifer Aniston's jaw-dropping fashion shoot age 50. Plus, see Liz Hurley wearing a cutaway safety pin gown 25 years after wearing the original - and she still looks sizzling. |
