Metropolitan Faces Society & Culture Podcast · A podcast about subway photography. Host Blake Eskin talks to other people who take pictures on the subway about their practice.

I often miss New York in a general sense, but very rarely does something make me miss the day to day experience of living in New York. One of them is @blakeeskin.com’s Metropolitan Faces. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

In major blow to arts scene, one of L.A.’s most vital dance troupes to shutter after 20 years After 20 years of bringing new contemporary dance to Los Angeles, Bodytraffic will cease operations in July. The unexpected news comes a little more than a year after the company received a $1-million...

Huge bummer. Bodytraffic's staging of Trey McIntyre's Mayday was one of the most thrilling performances I've seen in recent years. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Really this was a time-change post, but you’re not wrong to point out that it’s not really an outlier.
