We hope that you aren't stressing too much about final projects and exams yet!! Below are some ideas for what to do this weekend for a fun time. Enjoy, and don't forget that our club elections are this coming Tuesday!!
Dance Theatre of Harlem:
April 23–27
Jazz at Lincoln Center Rose Theater
Dance Theatre of Harlem's spring 2014 season is highlighted by a New York premiere of past-carry-forward, a piece that considers the legacy of the Great Migration and the Harlem Renaissance. The two programs, which alternate days, also include choreographer Robert Garland's New Bach and Gloria (set to music by Francis Poulenc) and Ulysses Dove's Dancing on the Front Porch of Heaven (set to music by contemporary Estonian composer Arvo Pärt). There's a family matinee performance on April 26.

Andy Warhol's 13 Most Wanted Men and the 1964 World's Fair:
April 27–September 7
Andy Warhol was an up-and-coming artist in 1964. Invited to contribute a piece to the World's Fair that year, he sparked controversy by plastering prints he made of "most wanted" mug shots on the exterior of the fair's New York State Pavilion. The mural was painted over at the direction of fair officials before the event opened to the public, leaving a large silver square as the singular evidence of the artist's only public-art commission. Warhol used the original screens to produce a series of 20 Most Wanted Men paintings, which forms the core of this exhibition. The show marks the 50th anniversary of the fair and celebrates a Warhol work that rubbed the Empire State establishment (namely Robert Moses, Nelson Rockefeller and Philip Johnson) the wrong way.

Brooklyn Flea:
The Brooklyn Flea has grown exponentially since it started five years ago, and now takes place in Fort Greene on Saturdays and in Williamsburg on the East River waterfront on Sundays. Featuring over 100 vendors selling an array of vintage clothing, jewelry, furniture and home décor, as well as gorgeous handmade items and some of the best food in NYC, it’s the perfect way to spend a sunny day this spring or summer. Start the day with a donut from Dough, then sip a homemade cola from Brooklyn Soda Works or cool down with a People’s Pop while you browse the unique vintage and handcrafted treasures. Once you’ve shopped up an appetite, make another stop for brick oven pizza from Pizza Moto’s portable brick oven, a pulled pork sandwich from Porchetta (your dog will get a special treat at this tent, too), or any of the dozens of other equally delectable choices. The vendors vary each week, so be sure to check the vendor layout each Friday at noon for that week's confirmed vendors. For more information, visit brooklynflea.com.
