popcorn youth

Thanks again to everyone that came to last week’s EATS TAPES and FYOELK show, and sweated their butts off in the steamy Chanti Loft. Heaps of thanks and praise to Bob Proehl and Luke Fenchel for contributing their (excellent!) DJ services (Ariel Pink, Junior Boys, Syd Barrett, Ducktails spun in between sets? Yes plz.) and […]

Hello everyone! I’m happy to announce a show that’s slightly outside of the typical Popcorn Youth programming. In my first collaboration with No Radio Productions AND Deep […]

Everyone has GrassRoots on the brain this week. Here’s what else is going on this week besides at the Trumansburg Fairgrounds. To be fair, a lot of these events are GrassRoots-related — in particular, we’re recommending Zydeco master Keith Frank at the Commons tonight at 6pm, and the Hell Drivers at Barangus (pictured above, Steve […]

Maybe you’ve noticed that former intern Corey Millard has been writing quite a bit for the Ithaca Times. We’ve finally gotten around to posting the great stories he’s written about the following people. Read the full story in our interviews section here!

He spoke with NYT film critic A.O. Scott.

Then he spoke with local man-about-town Bob […]

This is the best thing I’ve seen all week. I dare you to not smile when you try it. I dare you! See, it’s so cute. I may Cornify Popcorn Youth, so beware….

Moving along. This is a verrrry full week, events-wise, so I’ll stick to descriptions of State Theatre and Chanti events, and then go […]

American Weekends tonight, free, 10pm at the Chantiloft on 101 W. State St. You know the deal. Their description: “American Weekends is about combining the essence of a Detroit roller rink in the 70’s, a Minneapolis discotheque in the 80’s, Atalanta club hopping in the 90’s, and the Seattle house party scene in the 00’s.” […]

Tonight heralds the main event of this summer’s 2nd annual Love Shoe Festival, as curated by choreographer and Cornell dance professor Jim Self. From Kate’s article, as it appears in this week’s Ithaca Times:
>>>The third event of the festival, Salsa, Meet Hip Hop… & Other Dances, will be held on July 22 at the Schwartz […]

It’s that time of the month again. American Weekends will take over the Chantiloft downtown from 10pm-1am tonight. As always, the night is free. In case you need a reminder, from their website:
American Weekends is about combining the essence of a Detroit roller rink in the 70’s, a Minneapolis discotheque in the 80’s, Atalanta club […]

“Spoglia,” the dance concert developed by director and Cornell lecturer Byron Suber, takes an unusual multidisciplinary look at modern dance. In its creation, Suber combined his passions for dance, digital media, cinema, architecture, classical music, and pop music into a complex meditation on what it means to be an American scholar, tourist and artist abroad […]

Here’s the following article about dancer/choreographer/performance artist Jonah Bokaer that appears in this week’s Ithaca Times. I’d spoken with Bokaer almost exactly one year ago (in preparation for his excellent ” | underscore | ” performance at the Kiplinger Theatre), and, once again, I was amazed at how pulled-together and smart Bokaer is at such […]

Wednesday night, we were lucky enough to catch the superb Mark Morris Dance Group perform at the Schwartz Center. It was impeccably produced, and the dancers had an incredible presence and energy (no doubt due to their enviable muscularity and athleticism — I suppose a waifish or frail dancer simply would not cut it in […]

The huge event of the weekend is Ithaca’s Light in Winter Festival, which aims to bring together artists, musicians and scientists to experiment, think and innovate. If you look closely at the program of events, you’ll see that nearly everything looks interesting — I doubt you’ll regret attending any number of these events. But here […]

Tonight Cornell Cinema screened “Last Dance,” a documentary following the collaborative process between author Maurice Sendak and the experimental dance company Pilobolus. Pilobolus will be performing at Ithaca’s State Theatre this Friday at 8pm. Unfortunately, Cornell Cinema did not receive the second reel of the film, and everyone had to leave halfway through! The free […]
