It is better to beg for forgiveness than ask permission

Bwog’s new Constable of Culture, Kyra Bloom, spreads the word on arts-related events in the area, whether for your hot date or an evening alone. If you’d like us to know about a certain happening for next week, email events@bwog.com.

Ongoing

Thursday

  • Barnard Theatre Department’s Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl at 8 pm, directed by David Paul. A beautiful rendition of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth and “an interrogation of its place in contemporary cultural politics.” Continues Friday at 8 pm and Saturday at 3 and 8 pm. $5 with CUID.
  • Cinema Thursdays: Voisin Voisines at 7:30 pm on the 2nd floor of Buell Hall (La Maison Française). Movies are usually screened every Thursday at the same time, followed by a moderated discussion en français. Free with CUID, and great for practicing your French!
  • Ghost-Writing, a literary open mic presented by Quarto and the IRC at 8 pm. Come and share your scariest stuff in the IRC at Hillel’s Kraft Center at 606 W 115th St on the 5th floor.

Friday

  • Museum Meet-Up: Music in Images at The Cloisters. Join Columbia’s Chair of Music Humanities Susan Boynton on a guided tour of the Met’s Medieval Europe branch. Free standby reservations will be accepted in person at 2 pm in Lerner Lobby.
  • BaccHAUNTae at 6:30 pm. The lovely ladies of Bacchantae perform their first concert of the semester in the Glicker-Milstein Theatre on the Lower Level 2 of Diana. Special guest performance by Carnegie Mellon’s The Originals included. Free, and you don’t even have to remember your CUID.
  • The Muse’s Voice, a panel and performance featuring New York Women Composers at 7 pm in Sulzberger Parlor, 3rd floor of Barnard Hall. Panelists include Marie Incontrera, self-described “composer, wayward pianist, and heavy metal ballerina”; Faye-Ellen Silverman, BC ’68, composer of The Miracle of Nemirov; and Rain Worthington of the New York Women Composers. To top it all off, students will perform music by these women after the discussion. Free.
