2 Arts Fairfax, VA The work of acclaimed modern choreographer and former Martha Graham principal dancer Pascal Rioult returns to the Center for the Arts with his company, RIOULT Dance NY, in a two-part dance program titled From Purple to Pärt. Te Deum, set to the music of Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, is a reimagining of one of Pascal s earliest works. The newly-premiered Fire in the Sky is inspired by club dancing from Rioult s youth and the music of Deep Purple, the famed British rock band whose sound flourished through the '70s and '80s. Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day Thursday, February 10:30 am Thursday, February 12:30 pm Friday, February 10:30 am Saturday, February 11 am Saturday, February 2 pm Saturday, February 4:30 pm Sunday, February 11 am Sunday, February 2 pm Adventure Theatre MTC Glen Echo, MD Alexander is having a bad day. A terrible day. A horrible day. To be quite honest, it's a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. But then, everybody has bad days, sometimes. Not only does Alexander wake up with gum in his hair, but his mother forgets to pack him dessert, and his best friend decides he's not his best friend anymore. And if that's not bad enough, Alexander's brothers don't have any cavities but he does. And just when it can't get any worse, there are lima beans for supper and yuck! kissing on TV. It is enough to make anyone want to go to Australia. Uuuugggghhh. Thur Mar 31.
