Judson Memorial Church—the site of the legendary Judson Dance Theater performances of the ’60s—hosts an artist-curated weekly event by Movement Research, a wonderful downtown organization focused on experimental dance.

Don’t be scared. Just go to Judson on Mondays—it’s casual and lively and even though the dances are generally works-in-progress, it’s never dull.

Opening night features the excellent Deborah Hay, an actual Judson choreographer, and Juliette Mapp, who has danced with her (along with John Jasperse, Vicky Shick and more) and is currently obsessed with war. As in the horror and ridiculousness of it.
