The Purchase PAC Presents: Complexions Contemporary Ballet November 1
Location: The Performing Arts Center, Purchase College 735 Anderson Hill Road, Purchase, NY 10577 Date/Time: November 1, 7:30 PM
A Complexions Contemporary Ballet performance is a liberating experience. Led by dance icons Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson, this is ballet like you’ve never seen it before — high-octane movement, stunning physicality, and a groundbreaking mix of methods, styles, and cultural influences.
The program begins with a selection of mixed repertory; after intermission, you’ll experience For Crying Out Loud. Set to songs from U2’s acoustic album Songs of Surrender, the piece unfolds in an interconnected “wandering narrative,” the full company shines in its diversity, and the raw physicality of individual dancers is undeniable.

Cocktails & Stories in the Raven’s Nest
A haunting blend of literature and libations
This fall, professional storytellers bring to life the “powerful graphic effect” that Washington Irving once praised in Edgar Allan Poe’s writing, with haunting renditions of The Raven, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat, and The Masque of the Red Death. Each tale is paired with a complementary cocktail or mocktail designed to capture the spirit of the story.
The evening begins in the Library, where visitors enjoy their first drink while standing among the shelves, listening to a creepy tale. From there, the experience deepens in an intimate theater setting, with three more of Poe’s dark masterpieces performed in turn, as those gathered sip drinks, nibble biscotti, and savor a piece of fine chocolate—indulgences to savor in the night’s shadows.
RECOMMENDED FOR AGES 14+.
General Admission: $60

Pocantico Center Presents: Shen Wei: Still/Moving
Date/Time: October 18, 2025–April 18, 2026, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 11 AM-3 PM Location: The Pocantico Center, 200 Lake Rd.
Tarrytown, NY 10591
Shen Wei: Still/Moving commemorates thirty years of Shen Wei’s visionary career as a dancer, choreographer, visual artist, filmmaker, and global cultural ambassador. This joint exhibition of The Pocantico Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Katonah Museum of Art will illuminate the full scope of the artist’s trailblazing practice, offering viewers access to Shen Wei’s extensive paintings, works on paper, choreographic compositions, and short films, including new pieces never before exhibited in the United States.
At The Pocantico Center, the exhibition will focus on Shen Wei’s landscape paintings, reflecting his ongoing dialogue with Chinese traditional painting and nature. Often monumental in scale, these compositions possess a cinematic quality that compels the viewer’s eyes to dance. The exhibition at the KMA will emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of Shen Wei’s body of work: the generative influence of music on his dance practice and the central role of choreographed movement in his paintings. While each section stands alone, audiences are encouraged to visit both sites to experience the complete exhibition.
Shen Wei: Still/Moving is co-organized by The Pocantico Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Katonah Museum of Art. The exhibition is curated by Michelle Yun Mapplethorpe, director and chief curator of the KMA, with support from Elizabeth Monti, associate curator at KMA, and Katrina London, curator at The Pocantico Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.
