If you’re looking for something fun, free and cultural this weekend, head uptown to 165th Street for The Bronx Museum of the Arts’ First Friday event starting at 6pm. This month will feature Street Dance NYC: The Hitters!, music group RPM, and a screening of the trailer for “All the Ladies Say”.
If you’ve never taken advantage of a First Friday or a First Saturday event at one of the NYC based museums (the Brooklyn Museum does it also), you’ve been missing out on a huge opportunity. While regularly featuring free admission to the museum, musical entertainment, films, speakers, and food and drink, it’s one of the best ways to spend a cash-free evening in the city.
From the invite:
Family Affair
FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 2009, 6:00 to 10:00pm
South Building-Lower Gallery
Admission: Free.
This First Friday’s program, hosted by husband and wife dance pioneers Rokafella and Kwikstep of Full circle Prod Inc., will feature a distinguished panel of original Hip Hop dance crews who will discuss the format and growth of street shows, as well as shed light on their struggle to establish this uniquely American art form. The discussion will be followed by a screening of the trailer for “All the Ladies Say,” a film about national and international female break dancers, and a performance by the band RPM.
.
Panelist include: The Executioners, NYC Float Committee, TheTransformers, The Breeze Team and United Street Artists.
They also have an exhibit that sounds really interesting called “Street Art. Street Life. From the 1950′s Til Now” which is running until January 25, 2009.
