\u00a0<\/span>When attending Studio 5, my friend and I have a ritual: early supper in a Thai restaurant on 58th Street, jaywalking across the street into one of the City Center buildings and taking the ornate elevator to the fifth floor to a well lit rehearsal room surrounded on three sides of folding chairs. The early birds grab the center section. We sit on the stage right side. Studio 5 was invented by <\/i>Damian Woetzel who is now the seventh president of Juilliard. The president has left the premises but he\u2019s been succeeded by other ballet luminaries. This evening Kate Lydon, the Artistic Director of ABT Studio Company, moderated American Ballet Theatre: From Trainee to Luminary.\u00a0 <\/span>The average age of the dancers was nineteen. They discussed where they came from, what it was like training and living in ABT housing but the focus of the evening was when they danced. We were treated to excerpts from Giselle<\/em>, William Tell<\/em> and Le Jeune<\/em>. So backstage, so NYC.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The next evening we went to Juilliard Jazz. Wynton Marsalis introduced A Tribute to Blue Note Records. In the playbill, there was a short interview with Conductor Marsalis in which he stressed the importance of jazz\u2019s history for musicians and named some of the Blue Note musicians with whom he\u2019d played: . Juilliard Jazz played nine pieces including Woody Shaw\u2019s The Moontrane<\/em> and Dexter Gordon\u2019s Ernie\u2019s Tune<\/em>. The evening ended with Wayne Shorter\u2019s Free for All<\/em> with a tremendous drum solo. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Graphic Lessons: Recent thirty-five-year-old widow Millie Fitzgerald applies for a private school teaching job, faints on a stabbed and dying man in the school kitchen, deals with the only witness to the stabbing – a troubled nine-year-old, develops a crush on a NYPD detective and her dog dies.<\/p>\n

Graphic Lessons: Nine-year-old Dana is the only witness who overhears a person fighting with George Lopez, the soon to be stabbed Windsor School kitchen worker. Who can she tell? Her mother who never listens or accuses her of lying? Her father who\u2019s started a new family in Singapore? She tells Millie.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Graphic Lessons: Something\u2019s eating at NYPD Detective Steve Kulchek: a failed marriage? surviving a car bomb? his girlfriend marrying his corrupt boss? screwing up an important case?\u00a0 <\/span>It doesn\u2019t matter because he\u2019s relentless.<\/p>\n
