Eastern Time to raise funds ($20 donation suggested). A 34-year-old tradition, this exhibition parodies slasher videos like “Halloween” and “Friday the 13th” with literal buckets of fake blood (the secret recipe: corn syrup, chocolate syrup and red and blue dyes). How will masked killers murder characters when actors act from their respective homes?This is a thorny and incredibly 2020 challenge for administrators Joe McDaniel and Cassidy Russell. An advantage: fake blood can’t splash you through a pc screen. ALEXIS SOLOSKI
Dancing
With a pandemic underway and a choice of global destiny at hand, the art that can soon send you to another life plan can be very appealing this weekend. Pam Tanowitz’s 2018 four quartet dance is this kind of work, and from Saturday morning through Sunday night, it will be available online for the first time, on fisher Center’s online Upstreaming page in Bard (tickets have dropped from $10 to $25; a $100 full access pass adds a realization documentary and a live verbal exchange on Friday night).
Tanowitz gets his name and text from TSEliot’s latest wonderful poem, which deals with death and disease, as well as dance, but at a philosophical distance, meditating musically over time. While Kathleen Chalfant recites the noble words, they merge with the luminous words of Kaija Saariaho. score of the camera, herself all starting and well.
As if by magic, Tanowitz’s choreography and very good dancers take on this challenge, balancing elegance and idiosyncrasies, in accordance with the good appearance of the level panels and the ornate doors of Brice Marden’s paintings. For 80 minutes, in Eliot’s words, “providing and beyond time would possibly be provided in the long run,” yet 2020 is moving away. BRIAN SEIBERT
Classic music
Saxophonist Steve Lehman’s mother prepared him early for his last career through recordings of works through experimental composers to create his own haunted house. If you need to play the same piece with a younger circle of relatives, you can push them to modernists. interest with some of the austere and haunted timbres heard at this summer’s Merkin Hall concert through the JACK Quartet (the exhibition is held on YouTube, on the channel that airs through New Music New College).
But what if you’re looking for convenience instead of being surprised?The loose night broadcast on the Metropolitan Opera online page scheduled for Sunday is seamlessly recommended: the Met production of “Satyagraha”, one of Philip Glass’s first operas, is one of the greatest charming stagings the space has produced in recent times. Tenor Richard Croft, playing a song the role of Gandhi (in a resurgence in 2011), encounters the rigors of Glass’s minimalist motifs with a padded tone and an unperturbable e When the supreme act of opera establishes a link between practitioners of nonviolent action, across decades and continents, the cumulative effect is very important and poignant. Since this winning production has never made its way to DVD, its online streaming, which will be available for 23 hours from 7:30 pm, EAST Time, is noteworthy.
Children
Halloween has a horror that pushes back even rational adults: the monstrous amounts of candy your kids bring home.

Jazz
The Village Vanguard is where the Bad Plus race took off, where the trio played their first major concert in 2002, and where a Columbia Records executive fell in love with their logo of subtle irreverence, providing the band with a contract.
Eighteen years, more than a dozen albums, and a major worker corps replacement later, the band still calls Vanguard their moment home. Original pianist Ethan Iverson played his farewell concerts there in late 2017, and the existing line-up, with Orrin Evans on piano, still plays there when he’s in New York. On Fridays and Saturdays at 9pm ET, the band will return to play live, which will be streamed from the empty club on their website. Visitor passes cost $ 10 per night.
The Bad Plus first became known for its dazzling versions of radio hits, such as Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and Blondie’s “Heart of Glass,” which he deconstructed and reassembled with the diligence of an evil scientist. The emphasis is on the members’ own compositions, which have long been an internal language in their own right, balancing lyricism and counterpoint and half-broken rhythms. For more than two years, Evans has basically adapted to this dialect, while pushing him to open it more with his own curly, blood-filled style. GIOVANNI RUSSONELLO
Comedy
On Planet Scum Live’s Twitch channel, veteran Upright Citizens Brigade performer Connor Ratliff has discovered not only a new virtual home for “The George Lucas Talk Show,” but also the opportunity to broadcast it weekly, every Sunday night at 8 p. m. East Time.
Ratliff pretends to be the filmmaker for “Star Wars,” imagining him as a communication presenter and interviewing genuine guest characters. Griffin Newman presides as his companion, dressed as Watto, the garbage runner and slave owner of a safe Skywalker or two in “Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace”. Meanwhile, Patrick Cotnoir, as the manufacturer of the series, tries to keep everything on track.
One thing Twitch allows live theater to never: interactivity at the speed of kindness between artists and audiences. Last Sunday, audience members contributed fan art and memes similar to real-time discussion topics, while Newman was able to demonstrate a cup topped with a Watto figure as soon as one of the guests, actor Taran Killam, talked about having one as a child.
If you miss a live stream, episodes (and discussions after the show) move to the show’s YouTube channel. Guests at this week’s installment, titled “Halloweekend Spooktacular: COVID-1138: More American Willoweenie: The Battle for Elector, “Come with actor John Ross Bowie and Kerri Kenney from “The State” and “Reno 911”.
