There’s a lot of dance and film going on around here lately: Tomorrow night Miro Dance Theatre presents Miro Through the Lens, a dance film and video workshop featuring works by Miro’s own Tobin Rothlein. The works include several local artists, including dancers from the Pennsylvania Ballet and Phrenic New Ballet, and the evening is moderated by award-winning experimental filmmaker Maria Teresa Rodriguez; after the screenings she will lead a discussion with the audience about the place and use of film in dance performance. Look for our review of the whole shebang later this week. As always with Miro’s performances, this is a cheap date; both the screenings and discussion are free.

So even though it may have been more appropriate to celebrate the Cinco de Mayo last weekend, we're giving Miro Dance Theatre a pass, especially because their Cinco de Miro event sounds so darn cool. Featuring food, live music, and professional dance performances, the event will also host a salsa dancing competition. For a taste of what you may see there, watch the video of the day, below.

Sure, you can wander through art gallery after art gallery tonight. The same places you always go, with the same cheap wine you always drink. Or, you can take advantage of the fact that there's always a First Friday during the Live Arts and Fringe Festivals, and there are plenty of free or pay-what-you-can PLAF events you can hit tonight and for the next week. A few that we think sound interesting:
