The New York Times has reviewed some of the art events currently on stage in Harlem. If you were in the audience, give us your reviews, UPTOWN flavor style!
WEBEIME by The Negro Ensemble Company, @ The Harlem School of the Arts
“The Negro Ensemble Company, hoping to sink roots in Harlem, is announcing itself with a distinctive show called “Webeime” that racks up plenty of style points, though not so many in the substance department.”

E-Moves @ The Harlem Stage Gatehouse
“This year’s E-Moves showcase, now in its ninth year, is devoted to tap, though it represents only a sliver of the offerings. On Friday night Harlem Stage presented E-Merging and E-Volving artists, the first of two programs, which featured an array of choreographers taking on ballet, flamenco, voguing, postmodern dance and, of course, tap.”
E-Moting, E-Volving and Tipping Toward Tap
Flow @ The Studio Museum
“The artists in “Flow” choose among these options, which means the show has no essential look, though there are broad patches of formal common ground. A lot of what’s here is based on an aesthetic of assemblage and fragmentation, the piecing together or taking apart of materials and ideas, including art-historical precedents.”
