songs, dances and stories, 
led by Rabbi Jeff, Keith and 

Marni. To create an envi-

comfortable for all, this free 
event will be limited to 20 
families (it’s a big park where 
we can all spread out). Bring 
your own blanket to sit on. 
Snack and craft bags will 
be provided. As our littlest 
kiddos have yet to be vacci-
nated for COVID-19, we ask 
that all participants (who are 
old enough to do so) wear 
a mask until safely seated 
on their blankets. Once your 
family is in your own area, 
masks may be removed.

DFT AT HOME
THROUGH AUG. 21
“Can You Bring It: Bill T. 
Jones and D-Man in the 
Waters.” The creative pro-
cess that culminated in 
choreographer, dancer and 
director Bill T. Jones’ tour 
de force ballet, D-Man in 
the Waters, one of the most 
important and influential 
works of art to come out of 
the AIDS crisis, is brought to 
life in this extraordinary new 
documentary. In 1989, D-Man 
in the Waters gave physical 
manifestation to the fear, 
anger, grief and hope for 
salvation that Bill T. Jones 

and Arnie Zane (both part-
ners at the time) felt as they 
were embattled by the AIDS 
epidemic. Cost $12. Visit dia.
