Dream of a Common Language is a new evening-length ballet inspired by lesbian writer and activist Adrienne Rich’s 1978 poetry collection by the same name. Directed by Adriana Pierce, founder of Queer the Ballet, the program includes choreography by Adriana Pierce, Minnie Lane, Rosie Elliott, and Lenai Alexis Wilkerson with dramaturgy by Emily DeMaioNewton. The story follows six dancers’ journeys through community, friendship, romance, and heartbreak, bringing to light the similarities between Adrienne Rich’s yearning for queer community in the 70s and queer ballet dancers...

Leon Gast, the veteran filmmaker who won a Documentary Feature Oscar for helming the 1996 “Rumble in the Jungle” pic When We Were Kings, died Monday. He was 85.
The news was confirmed by the Woodstock Film Festival, of which Gast was a founding advisory board member and a 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award honoree.
Gast also won a Spirit Award, a Sundance Special Jury prize and a DGA Award nomination for When We Were Kings, which he also produced and edited. It told the fascinating story about the 1974 heavyweight title fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman held in Kinshasa, Zaire. The filmmaker later produced and directed The Trials of Muhammad Ali (2013), which aired the following year on PBS as under the Independent Lens banner. Gast won a News & Documentary Emmy and an International Documentary Association Award for that project.

Oh, there will be Reprisal against some very bad men, and Abigail Spencer is gunning to deliver it via Hulu’s palpably pulpy hyper-noir revenge drama.
Created by Josh Corbin (StartUp) and releasing all 10 episodes on Friday, Dec. 6, Reprisal stars Spencer as Katherine Harlow, a bold brunette who in the very first scene is brutally punished for undisclosed transgressions, and left for dead. Years later, she resurfaces as Doris Quinn, a soft-spoken blonde who is furtively unfurling a dark revengenda. The stylized thriller’s ensemble also includes Rodrigo Santoro (Westworld), Mena Massoud (Aladdin), Rhys Wakefield (True Detective), Madison Davenport (From...

The incredible show "Mad Men" ended almost two months ago and, honestly, I think I'm going through withdrawal. The show, filled with domestic tensions and drama in every episode, followed the life of the charming, powerful, mysterious Don Draper. Right from the beginning of the show, it's obvious that Draper is far from faithful to the women in his life. Within the seven seasons of the show, he hooks up with countless women, and usually during a time when he is already married. Now, I'm not going to list every single woman Draper ever hooked up with (this is an article, not a novel), but here are some of the more memorable ones.
1. Betty Draper/Betty Francis
Obviously, it would be an injustice if Betty wasn't leading this list. She is Don's first wife, and the mother to his children. While married to Don, she was deeply unhappy what with...

“Rectify” star Abigail Spencer dished about her role on the hit Sundance TV series, female roles in Hollywood and revealed the funny story of how she first met AMC Networks’ President & CEO Josh Sapan. “Most of the great female roles are happening on television right now. I got the great fortune to be on ‘Mad Men’ a few years ago. I got to play Suzanne Farrell, the teacher of the show,” Spencer said. “It really showed me it's possible to have great female characters in the cinema of television right now.” See video: ‘Rectify’ Season Finale Preview: Daniel's Surprising Love Triangle Confession.

Don Draper certainly has a type. To use the comparison brought up by a memorable Sterling-Cooper ad pitch, Mad Men's mysterious protagonist has always gone more for Jackies than Marilyns. (As his marriage to Betty proved, when it comes to blondes, Don prefers the Grace Kelly model.)
To celebrate the premiere of Mad Men's final season, let's look back at the bevy of intellectual brunettes who have loved, lost and even sometimes married the cipher at the heart of the AMC drama.

Usually there are several layers to Best Movie Ever? candidacy: acting, cinematography, direction, screenwriting, the way Madeline Kahn squawks, fist fights with Elizabeth Taylor, etc. But in the case of today's candidate Public Speaking, the 2010 HBO documentary about longtime wit Fran Lebowitz, there's only one criterion I care about: priceless quotations. Director Martin Scorsese closes in on Lebowitz's unamused mug at her signature booth in Manhattan's Waverly Inn, allows her to crank out commentary and witticisms on any number of topics for 82 minutes, and lets her salty confidence stand for itself. There's no moral. No rebuttal. Public Speaking is just a good talker talking, then stopping when she's done. Also interspersed are wonderful archive clips of James Baldwin debating with William F. Buckley Jr., Cole Porter trilling "You're the Top," and of course Dorothy Parker -- Lebowitz's natural forebear -- deadpanning one of her wittiest and most dour poems. There've been plenty of deified wits,...

This question originally appeared on Quora.
By Rahul Shankar, Technology Consultant, Kpmg
If you want a short answer -- At a personal level, Don Draper is a deeply flawed human being.
The symbolism in the show's opening credits is quite telling. It starts off with Draper walking into his office, staring for a second at all his professional accomplishments. This is when things begin to fall apart. It pictures him falling; passing by pictures of many, many women. One of the last images is that of a family, with two children; a boy and a girl. His fall however doesn't end with him crashing to the ground. It ends with him comfortably seated on a couch. Smoking another post coital cigarette. Rewind and repeat. That is essentially his life.
He lives a life that is practically devoid of any rules. He usually doesn't take no for an answer. He wants...

Actress Abigail Spencer won over Mad Men fans as schoolteacher Suzanne Farrell, Don Draper’s “other” woman during Season 3 of the acclaimed AMC drama. The pretty brunette actress also wowed genre fans with her role as Alice in last summer sci-fi/western mash up Cowboys & Aliens. Spencer made her genre fan base even happier today with news in The Hollywood Reporter of joining the supernatural romance In Your Eyes, the story of two people with little in common who are supernaturally connected, written and produced by Joss Whedon. Brin Hill signed on to direct the film with Whedon producing along with his Bellwether Pictures partner Kai Cole.

The Kennedy Center Honors have been handed out since 1978. Recipients hail from various branches of the American performance art world — including film, stage, music, and dance — even though performers more closely associated with British show business have managed to sneak in every now and then, e.g., Paul McCartney, Roger Daltrey, Elton John, Pete Townshend. Since recipients are supposed to attend the Washington, D.C., ceremony in order to take home their Kennedy awards, Doris Day has remained unhonored by the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Katharine Hepburn kept putting it off until she finally relented in 1990. (Irene Dunne, see above photo, was one who managed to be honored though absent due to ill health.) Ginger Rogers, for her part, was present at the ceremony, but her films with Fred Astaire weren't — because Astaire's widow, Robyn Astaire, demanded payment for the televised clips. At the time, Kennedy Center Honors...

Ok, calling Abigail Spencer a "star" from "Mad Men" is a bit much--she did only have a six-episode stint during season four as Suzanne Farrell, yet another conquest of Don Draper--but she's definitely on the rise. She visited the set of "Hawthorne" for an eight-episode run, she'll appear in "This Means War" with Tom Hardy, Chris Pine and Reese Witherspoon, she's got a part in the upcoming "Cowboys & Aliens" and it looks like she's bagged another fantasy role in a future tentpole. THR reports that Spencer has joined James Franco, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams, Joey King and…...

Just received over the Movieline transom, here's AMC's description of Sunday's all-new Mad Men, "Christmas Comes But Once a Year": "The agency gets a new account and adds staff. Don and Betty's daughter Sally runs into an old friend. The agency throws a party." So! Does that mean the return of Ken Cosgrove and/or Paul Kinsey? And is that "old friend" Suzanne Farrell? Um, spoilers guys! Whatever, it's cool -- just don't tell Matthew Weiner.

Season four of Mad Men will premiere on July 25 and we have three promos for you below. AMC has also released a summary of season 3, which we have for you below, in case you need to catch up.
It’s early 1963. Lane Pryce, the financial officer installed by Sterling Cooper’s British parent Puttnam, Powell, and Lowe, demoralizes the staff with mass layoffs and pits Ken and Pete against each other as co-heads of account services. Calling Don Draper "the face of our business," Lane sends him and Sal to Baltimore to mollify client London Fog. There, Don witnesses Sal in a compromising situation with a male bellhop.
Back in New York, client Pepsi requests a sexy riff on the musical Bye Bye Birdie for a television commercial for their new diet cola, Patio. Peggy questions whether this approach will appeal to female consumers, though she later imitates the routine herself.

Fred Hersch had arguably become the most arrestingly innovative pianist in jazz over the last decade or so. That changed, abruptly, when Hersch developed AIDS-related dementia in 2008, then fell into a coma for two months, before recovering—but only after losing all of his motor functions. After intensive therapy, he retrained himself to play. And his new, comeback album, “Whirl” (Palmetto)—which Vf.Com streams here exclusively, in its entirety, for one week only—is a testament to Hersch’s deep reserves of talent and resolve. While he has traded some of his fearlessness and sheer surprise for a more temperate fluidity, the CD maintains his unconventional rhythms, his disdain for cliché, and his ear for fashioning heaven-sent melody: two tracks, “Snow Is Falling” and the Latin habanera “Madevilla,” both highlights of his recent appearance at New York's Village Vanguard, come from the same sublime place as his earlier works...

I know, saying "Don Draper's mistress" doesn't really narrow it down, does it?
Abigail Spencer, who played (plays?) schoolteacher Suzanne Farrell on AMC's Mad Men this past season, has landed a role on the new NBC drama Rex Is Not Your Lawyer. I guarantee that will be one of the odder titles for a new show in 2010 or whenever the show debuts. It's about a lawyer who gets anxiety attacks (that has to be a career killer) so he actually teachers his clients how to represent themselves in court. Spencer will play another lawyer.
What does this mean for Miss Farrell? Who knows. She could appear on both shows though. Alison Brie appears on two different shows too (Mad Men and NBC's Community), so it's possible that Spencer could still appear on Mad Men while on this show. Of course, I hope she's out of the picture and we see Rachel or Midge again.

Do we see the world as others see it? And do we see ourselves as others see us? These two questions form the basis of this week's sensational episode of AMC's Mad Men ("The Color Blue"), which revolved around Don's ongoing affair with Sally's former teacher, Suzanne Farrell, and Betty realizing that she doesn't know her husband at all. The question of perception first arises from a conversation between Don and Suzanne in bed as she recounts how an eight-year-old student asked if the way he sees the color blue is the same as she sees it. Don has a pat answer that speaks volumes about his leveraging of advertising to persuade people to believe one thing or another but it's a profound puzzle of a question straight out of the mouths of babes. Are we colored by our experiences? Do those perceptions, whether it be of color or character,...

Don Draper is clearly becoming hungry for overtime work mainly because working overtime means hooking up with Suzanne Farrell. We all saw it coming ever since they met in "The Fog" and it all became lucid in last week's episode of Mad Men.
When we last saw Mad Men, the boys were doing a commercial for Lucky Strike and Sal got propositioned by client Lee Garner, Jr. But Sal turned him down, consequently upsetting the client, who now wants Sal to be fired. This week, though, the firm is focusing on its 40th year but it looks like some of the men aren't looking forward to the anniversary party.

Previously on Mad Men – Sal's a commercial director now, Sterling Cooper has the Lucky Strike account, Conrad Hilton is changing Don's life, Suzanne Farrell (Sally's teacher) is attracted and repelled by Don, Don's pissed at Roger, and Betty and Henry have the hots for each other.
A gorgeous looking Betty reclines on her fainting couch while a man leans over her, opening the bodice of her dress. He trails his finger on her lips as the phone rings, waking Don, Betty and Baby Gene, who starts howling in the background. It's good ol'Connie Hilton, who apparently never sleeps. Don fumbles for paper and pen as Connie rambles some foreshadowing. "We have an impulse and we act on it," Connie babbles. "Very interesting," Don replies. "But how do we know to do it? How do we know to do something?" Connie goes on. "Instinct," Don rather blearily replies. "So, you're just like a dog?...

Mad Men has always succeeded at creating some indelible and powerful images but this week's episode ("Wee Small Hours"), written by Dahvi Waller and Matthew Weiner and directed by Scott Hornbacher, featured one in particular that eloquently summed up the episode as whole. Heading into work in the wee early hours after being awakened by Connie Hilton, Don spies Sally's former teacher Suzanne Farrell (Abigail Spencer) running alone in the dark. It's a gorgeously shot sequence in which Don sees Suzanne almost glowing like a beacon in the darkness, in full sprint, tearing away from some unseen demons. If that doesn't sum up Don's state of mind right now, I don't know what does. It seems like each of the characters on Mad Men this week seem to be running toward or away from something. Set against the distant backdrop of the civil rights movement in the South, this week's...

So there I was, minding my own cheeseburger at my favorite neighborhood diner and mingling with the common folk, when I see my own boldfaced name leaping from the salmon-colored page: Guests invited into Graydon Carter’s revamped Monkey Bar on East 54th Street for intimate “friends and family” dinners this past weekend were already raving—those big red booths are fantastic! “If you were sitting in the booths, you could watch everyone and not even have to turn your head!” said one publishing industry guest, who attended a dinner on Saturday, March 21, and asked not to be identified. The booths faced outward along the upper level and lower levels, making it easy to ogle fellow diners. Look, there’s Dick Cavett!
