Fun around town, for $10 or less:

Full cast of BalletX in the final scene of Annabelle Lopez Ochoa's STILL@LIFE. Dancers (left to right): Emily Wagner, Tara Keating, Rosalia Chann (on the floor), Matthew Neenan, Francis Veyette, Anitra Nurnberger (on top), Meredith Rainey, Vincent McCloskey (being held), Ja'Malik.

He was called the “naughty boy of dance” by none other than the grand dame of modern dance herself, Martha Graham. The Paul Taylor Dance Company comes to Philly with five works, the latest,Changes (2008), a Philadelphia premiere. The naughty boy is tricky though: there are two programs, A and B, so you’ll need to head over to the Annenberg twice to catch it all. A includes Changes, Esplanade (1975), and Lines of Loss (2007); B has Philadelphia premiere De Suenos (2007), Changes, and Promethean Fire (2002). Taylor’s dances run the gamut of overwhelming to trivial, so every heavy moment is likely to be counterbalanced with, if not whimsy, at least a little less heavy.

You’ll have to wait until the end of the week to catch these babies, but trust us: they’re worth it.
