What time is it?

The Rubin Museum of Art presents a conversation, about time, between screenwriter/director Charlie Kaufman (Synecdoche, New York and The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and Brian Greene (physicist and foremost proponent of string theory).

Greene is currently working on a cantata with Philip Glass and David Henry Hwang based on his children's book Icarus at the Edge of Time. The cantata will premiere at New York's World Science Festival 2010.

What time is it? is part of the museum's wide-ranging and provocative Brainwave series. Get full schedule and ticketing details here.

She dances me with science

New York's brand new World Science Festival (May 29-June 1) is way, way cool! Visit the WSF Web site for its extensive schedule of programming for adults and families. And, yes, there's a dance tie-in!

Dance genius Bill T. Jones joins a panel of various artists and neuroscientists entitled Illuminating Genius: Unlocking Creativity (Thursday, May 29, 8pm at Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, NYU), moderated by John Hockenberry, co-host of WNYC's new morning show, The Takeaway. And what's more, Karole Armitage weighs in with a dance work inspired by Brian Greene's bestseller, The Elegant Universe at Works & Process at the Guggenheim Museum, Friday, May 30 and Saturday, May 31 (both at 7:30pm).

Ticket prices for these and many more fascinating events can be found--although buried deep--on the WSF Web site. Have a little patience: the site can be slow. It all looks very good and maybe next year, with some advance warning, I'll be able to schedule my dance-going to avoid missing this terrific stuff. (Oh, did you know I was a science nerd, too?)
