Repertory Dance Theatre had originally planned to premiere its streaming recorded version of the annual Emerge production on Jan. 8. But the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact arts organizations in ways even beyond forcing them to present their work to audiences in different formats. According to Nicholas Cendese—Artistic Associate and Development Director for RDT, who also choreographed one of the Emerge pieces—work on the production was delayed when dancers had to isolate due to poss...

ARIES (March 21-April 19) As you ripen into a more fully embodied version of yourself, you will summon ever-greater discrimination about where to seek your inspiration. I trust that you will increasingly divest yourself of any tendency you might have to play around with just any old mediocre fire. More and more, you will be drawn to high-quality blazes that provide just the right amount of heat and light—neither too much nor too little. And you will steadfastly refrain from jumping into the f...

Outside the Wire can't carry its critique of dehumanized militarism across the finish line.

It had never happened before in this country. "Were going to take our country back!" was the battle cry of the day and has been the rebel yell of the radical right for some time. The question: Back from whom? Back to where? It looks a lot like the "Lost Cause" dating from the late 1800s and Reconstruction following the defeat of the South in the Civil War, repackaged for working-class white Americans who feel aggrieved.

Compiled by Jerre Wroble Even prior to losing his bid for re-election in early November, President Donald Trump and his minions began floating conspiracies at his rallies and on social media about widespread voter fraud. And despite the Electoral College affirming Joe Bidens win over Trump with a vote of 306-232, Trump continued to complain of voter fraud, even after more than 80 judges found his claims without merit.
