The annual Bryant Park Fall Festival concludes with several excellent programs, beginning today at 12:30 with the Rubin Museum of Art presenting “A Conversation with Peter Sellars,” in which the theater impresario will discuss his dramatization of The Vimalakirti Sutra, rehearsals of which can be seen Friday and Saturday night at the Rubin. On Thursday night at 6:00, the extremely talented Elisa Monte Dance will perform, followed on Friday night at 6:00 by Pascal Rioult’s RIOULT company, which will present Celestial Tides, set to Bach, and two works set to Ravel, Wien (La Valse) and Bolero. Each dance performance will be preceded at 5:00 by a workshop for kids. (For our recent twi-ny talk with Rioult, please click here.)
