Moving On

For its twenty-fifth-anniversary season, in March, the Mark Morris Dance Group staged a monthlong blowout. There were three full programs of dances at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, plus three programs of smaller pieces - "Solos, Duets, and Trios"-at the company's headquarters, across the street. There were photo exhibitions and panels and interviews. BAM's Rose Cinemas showed Morris's favorite movies; its café featured musicians of his choice. There was even a karaoke night, which Morris led off with a rendition of Patsy Cline's Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray.
