A Rediscovered Treasure

Classical Chinese Dance vs. Ballet

THE CHINESE REGIME DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SEE

OW IS CLASSICAL CHINESE dance different from ballet? Classical Chinese dance is related to Chinese martial arts. It has many moves not found in ballet, like dynamic ﬂips, spins, and kicks. Because it comes from the cultural heritage of the East, classical Chinese dance also has more rounded, circular movements, instead of the more direct, linear movements of ballet. And female dancers don’t go en pointe. They take tiny steps that allow them to almost ﬂoat across the stage. It’s one of the most demanding and expressive art forms in the world, so artists often train for at least 10 years before they can take to t e t .I the ica !

Originating in 15th century Europe, ballet emphasizes linear, distinct movement.

ating in t China, al Chinese emphasizes ents that und and uous, o pauses.

YOU CANNOT SEE the authentic Chinese culture Shen Yun presents anywhere else. Not in another show. Not even in China. Traditional Chinese culture is based on harmony between heaven, earth, and humankind, whereas the Chinese Communist Party that rules China advocates struggle against nature and man. It sees this culture as a threat to its power, and for decades has tried to destroy it... and nearly succeeded. But ten years ago, a group of Chinese artists came together in New York and decided to change that. They created Shen Yun and have brought the culture back from the brink of extinction. Shen Yun cannot perform in China, but it is now sharing this heritage with millions around the world. In fact, Chinese people ﬂy from China speciﬁcally to see Shen Yun.

ALONGSIDE ANCIENT LEGENDS, Shen Yun presents stories from China today, like the inspiring tale of people who practice Falun Dafa—a meditation practice that follows China’s ancient spiritual traditions. Despite facing persecution from the Chinese regime, these people continue to live by their principles of truth, compassion, and tolerance. Beijing is pressuring Shen Yun not to tell this story, but Shen Yun remains true to its mission.

PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY Deonte Carraway was considered trustworthy by some — a man who did a good job keeping children entertained at the local recreation center and taking them to church on Sundays. To others, he seemed unusual — sometimes showing up as a volunteer at the elementary school near his home in pajamas and slippers.

TRANSPORTATION

$125M

The amount Maryland’s lightrail Purple Line would receive in federal aid in the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, under the Obama administration’s proposed transit budget. The rail project would receive federal money — the Federal Transit Administration has recommended a total of $900 million — only if the state finalizes a full funding agreement with the FTA. That agreement won’t be signed until the state has finalized the project’s estimated cost and secured the rest of the 16-mile line’s funding. (TWP)

But despite what many parents and neighbors thought about Carraway, one thing was constant, they say: The 22-year-old was often seen walking the streets of Glenarden, Md., in the company of young children. Now, shock, anger and confusion have consumed much of the Prince George’s County city of about 6,000 after community members learned that Carraway was arrested for allegedly producing 40 pornographic videos featuring at least 10 youngsters. Parents are demanding to know

how Carraway apparently was left alone with students long enough at Judge Sylvania W. Woods Elementary School to produce the videos on school grounds and during the middle of the school day, as police have stated. “He always had six or seven kids around,” said Neftari Argueta, whose children attend the elementary school where Carraway volunteered. “It’s a little strange.” Michelle Williams, the principal of the school, was placed on paid administrative leave.

Deonte Carraway, 22, was charged Feb. 5 with 10 counts of felony child pornography and related charges.

Attempts to reach Williams for comment were unsuccessful Wednesday. Carraway was charged Feb. 5 with 10 counts of felony child pornography and related charges in connection with videos he produced on his cellphone camera, Prince George’s County police said.

U.S. suing city of Ferguson With reforms on hold, feds say residents are deprived of civil rights WASHINGTONPOST.COM THE SWITCH DAVID CARSON (ST. LOUIS POST DISPATCH VIA AP)

FERGUSON, MO. The federal government filed a civil lawsuit Wednesday against the city of Ferguson, alleging that the municipality’s police and court system violate the civil rights of residents. The suit — a contentious next step in what has been a monthslong negotiation process between federal and city officials over potential reforms — says the “ongoing and pervasive” violations come from the city’s use of law enforcement to generate revenue, echoing the findings of the Justice Department’s investigation into the city in 2014. The original investigation said the city unfairly used traffic citations to generate revenue and imposed excessive fines for minor municipal violations. Wednesday’s lawsuit alleges that Ferguson’s police department and municipal courts engage in unconstitutional “patterns and practices” of using force without legal justification and “engaging in racially discriminatory” law enforcement conduct. “Residents of Ferguson have

They should not be forced to wait any longer.” The suit follows a request by the city Tuesday to modify key parts of the consent decree that was in discussion for months. The city said the changes, including higher wages for police, would be too expensive and could bankrupt Ferguson. In the lawsuit, the federal government alleges that one of

A leader of the Black Lives Matter movement in Ohio fatally shot himself Monday night on the steps of the Ohio statehouse in Columbus, police said. MarShawn M. McCarrel II was 23. He left no note, but on social media he had seemed troubled. He said via Twitter on Monday morning: “I love y’all. All of you.” (EXPRESS)

Ferguson’s problems is the failure to properly train and supervise its law enforcement officers. While the suit acknowledges that the city has made some

reforms since the Justice Department began its investigation, it also states that they are insufficient to both eliminate the practices and prevent them from happening in the future. The federal investigation was sparked by the police shooting in August 2014 of Michael Brown, an unarmed black man whose death prompted nationwide protests. The probe is one of more than two dozen such investigations into police departments conducted by the Justice Department under the Obama Administration. (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP)

In Google cars, ‘driver,’ by law, is the software If you hop into one of Google’s pod-like self-driving cars, you won’t be considered the driver, according to a letter sent to Google by federal transportation officials. Instead, the law will treat the software as the driver. “We agree with Google its [self-driving vehicle] will not have a ‘driver’ in the traditional sense…,” the letter reads. “If no human occupant of the vehicle can actually drive the vehicle, it is more reasonable to identify the “driver” as whatever (as opposed to whoever) is doing the driving.” The “driver” reinterpretation by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration marks a huge moment for Google and the auto industry as it races to build the first fully autonomous motor vehicle. While most carmakers are building self-driving cars with steering wheels, brake pedals and the like, Google imagines its cars will have none of these things. That raised questions about how the government would view those cars. The response to Google clarifies the word “driver,” but it doesn’t categorically give Google the benefit of the doubt. For example, regulations for cars require brake pedals and parking brakes that operate independently of one another by “hand or foot control.” Google will still have to follow those rules until the agency rewrites them for driverless cars — or Google asks for an exception.

Russia: Cease-fire in March U.S. counters proposal, demands that fighting in Syria halt immediately MUNICH Russia has proposed a March 1 cease-fire in Syria, U.S. officials said Wednesday, but Washington believes Moscow is giving itself and the Syrian government weeks to try to crush rebel groups. The U.S. has countered with demands for the fighting to stop immediately, accompanied by full humanitarian access to Syria’s besieged civilian centers,

the officials said. The talk of new cease-fire plans comes as the U.S., Russia and more than a dozen other countries meet in Munich to try to halt five years of civil war in the Arab country. The conflict has killed more than a quarter-million people, created Europe’s biggest refugee crisis since World War II and allowed the Islamic State to carve out its own territory across parts of Syria and neighboring Iraq. Russia says it is supporting Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government as part of a

counterterrorism campaign. But the West says the majority of its strikes are targeting moderate groups that are opposed to Assad. The most recent Russian-backed offensive, near Aleppo, prompted opposition groups to walk out of peace talks last month in Geneva, while forcing tens of thousands of civilians to flee toward the Turkish border. One official said the U.S. can’t accept Russia’s offer because opposition forces could suffer irreversible losses before the ceasefire ever takes hold. MATTHEW LEE AND BRADLEY KLAPPER (AP)

GOP’s nightmare in N.H. Hoping for a clear-cut choice, establishment Republicans instead got 3 middling candidates

Sanders’ win has big payoff in donations

AP PHOTOS

POLITICS It’s hard to imagine the New Hampshire primary going any worse for establishment Republicans. Desperate to find a candidate to coalesce around in hopes of stopping the populist insurrection of Donald Trump and the conservative uprising championed by Ted Cruz, the establishment instead got the opposite: a three-way split decision between John Kasich, Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio that ensures an extended, nasty and expensive fight simply to emerge as the third guy in the top tier. The goal for most unaligned establishment Republicans heading into the eight-day gap between Iowa’s caucuses and New Hampshire’s primary was for Rubio to emerge as the clear-cut favorite for their wing of the party with a second-place finish in the Granite State — behind only Donald Trump. Rubio seemed on his way to doing just that until Saturday night’s debate when he kept repeating the same line about President Obama knowing exactly what he is doing. That brain glitch, which was seized on and exploited by Chris Christie, stopped Rubio’s momentum — a fact he acknowledged in the wake of his disappointing fifth place finish on Tuesday. Rubio’s debate stumble left New Hampshire Republicans in search of a candidate not named Trump or Cruz. Kasich, the Ohio governor, was the most obvious beneficiary — winning 21 percent of those who made up their minds in the last few days before the primary. But Bush benefited, too. And Rubio didn’t completely

collapse either. That left establishment candidates in second (Kasich), fourth (Bush), fifth (Rubio) and sixth (Christie) when all the New Hampshire votes were counted. For Kasich and Bush, the results in New Hampshire were good enough to justify continuing on to South Carolina, which is set to hold its primary on Feb. 20. And Rubio’s fifth place showing was bad but not nearly bad enough to drive him from the race. (Sidenote: Bush’s case to continue on — fourth place in a state where he spent $36 million on ads — is somewhat suspect, but the strength of his family name and the fact that he has money left to spend means he will go forward.) The next 10 days will be a battle royal between Bush, Rubio and Kasich — all clamoring for the establishment spot before the race goes national on March 1 in the so-called SEC primary; “Bush plans scorched-earth attack on Kasich, Rubio “ read a headline

establishment vote in South Carolina for it to be split three ways. South Carolina’s Republican party does have a country club/ business wing — largely based in and around Charleston — but the evangelical/tea party wing, based in the northern reaches of the state, is larger and more important in a presidential primary. 3. It’s hard to see how South Carolina produces a final verdict in the establishment side of the primary. Rubio and Bush should do best in the state — given current polling and their profiles — but Kasich is the momentum candidate. A(nother) muddle is the most likely scenario. What New Hampshire did was ensure that the fight to be the establishment candidate wasn’t going to be a knockout but rather decided on a decision after 12 rounds of boxing. That’s a terrible thing for a party that faces not one but two existential threats in the form of Trump and Cruz. CHRIS CILLIZZA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

POLITICS Sen. Bernie Sanders is barreling out of his win in New Hampshire in a position few anticipated when he first entered the 2016 White House contest: financially competitive with Hillary Clinton. After asking voters to help him raise funds in his victory speech Tuesday, the response was so overwhelming that his website buckled under the traffic. Between the close of polls and mid-afternoon Wednesday, his campaign brought in $5.2 million, his best 24 hours of fundraising yet. Boosted by an online fundraising juggernaut, the Vermont senator has been scooping up donations at a faster clip than Clinton this year, giving him unexpected resources for the rush of coming votes in Nevada, South Carolina and the 11 “Super Tuesday” states that hold Democratic contests March 1. Clinton started the year with $10 million more than him in the bank, but Sanders raised $20 million to her $15 million in January, helping him narrow her edge. In the 24 hours that followed his close loss in Iowa, he collected $3 million. His campaign plans to use its funding surge to build up its ground operations and roll out robust ad campaigns in upcoming states. Sanders outspent Clinton in TV ads in New Hampshire in the final weeks before beating her resoundingly there. MATEA GOLD AND JOHN WAGNER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

S. Korea to shut down joint industrial park with N. Korea SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA South Korea said Wednesday that it will shut down a joint industrial park with North Korea in response to its recent rocket launch, accusing the North of using hard currency from the park to develop its nuclear and missile programs. The decision to end operations at the industrial complex in the North Korean border city of Kaesong, the last major cooperation project between the rival countries, comes after North Korea on Sunday launched a long-range rocket considered by other nations to be a banned missile technology test.

Manslaughter charges possible in water crisis

The Kaesong industrial complex was the last major joint operation between North and South Korea.

Korea killed 50 South Koreans in 2010. It is among the strongest punitive measures available to her. South Korean Unification Minister Hong Yong-pyo said at a news conference that the suspension of operations at the park would stop the North from using currency earned there to develop nuclear and missile technology.

The Unification Ministry, which is responsible for relations with North Korea, said in a statement that the government had “decided to completely shut down” the park. It notified North Korean authorities of the decision and asked them to help ensure the safe return of South Korean citizens from Kaesong. There was no immediate reaction to the move from North Korea. The U.S. Senate on Wednesday unanimously approved legislation that aims to derail North Korea’s drive for nuclear weapons by hitting Pyongyang with tougher sanctions. Japan also announced tough new sanctions, including a complete ban on visits by North Korean ships to Japanese ports. (AP)

THREE POINTERS

Warriors hit the road

Far from finish line

OLYMPICS Long before Usain Bolt lines up in the starting blocks or Katie Ledecky dives into a pool, a big Olympic race is already underway. Organizers for the Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro have a long checklist of tasks that still need to be addressed — from infrastructure to competition venues to budding health concerns — and precious little time to get it all done with the opening ceremony Aug. 5. “What’s important is not the size of the challenge. It is the size and the strength of the response you give to this challenge,” said Mario Andrada, a spokesman for Rio’s Olympic organizing committee.

Zika virus Brazil is among the countries battling a breakout of the Zika virus. The World Health Organization has deemed the virus a global health emergency, and Olympic, government and health officials are on high alert. The virus is believed to have infected more than a million people in Brazil and has been linked to babies born with microcephaly, a rare birth defect. The International Olympic Committee sent a memo last week to countries participating

in the Summer Games outlining some of the planned precautions, including the daily inspection of competition venues for standing water where disease-carrying mosquitoes might breed. Government and Olympic officials have stressed that the Olympics will take place during Brazil’s winter, a low season for mosquitoes because of cooler, drier conditions.

3 At Clippers, Feb. 20 On the second night of a back-to-back, the Warriors head to L.A. to face a Clippers team that’s on a roll despite missing Blake Griffin.

Economic struggles Olympic tourists will see a scaled-back operation compared with some recent Summer Games. Government funding has been cut, and the vision for the Olympics has continually been tweaked and trimmed. Brazil’s economy is still struggling, unemployment is spiraling and inflation has topped 10 percent. The World Bank estimates the nation’s economy shrank 3.7 percent last year and could contract another 2.5 percent this year. The Rio state government has reached such dire straits that some public hospitals closed for the Christmas holiday. Olympic organizers have tried to cut costs wherever possible, replacing some permanent structures with tents, altering the ticketing structure, even removing TVs from athletes’ rooms. When reports circulated that athletes staying in the Olympic Village would have to do without air conditioning, officials quickly found the money to quell concerns. This has become even more

Six months away from the Olympics, Rio faces a long list of obstacles

Golden State won its 42nd straight home game Tuesday and is on pace to break the NBA record of 72 wins. But the Warriors began a seven-game road trip Wednesday, and a few tough challenges await after the All-Star break.

With the opening ceremony Aug. 5, Rio organizers have little time to address concerns about the Zika virus, water pollution and infrastructure.

important following the Zika outbreak — Andrada said that athletes are advised to keep windows closed and the air conditioning on to avoid mosquito bites in the Olympic Village.

Safety concerns Although violence in Rio’s many favelas has been worsening over the last year as cracks increasingly show in a “pacification” program that installed armed police bases, government and Olympic officials insist that security will not be impacted. Rio will have a variety of police and security forces throughout the Summer Games, more than 85,000 officers in total. “Rio will be the safest city in the world during the Games,”

North Carolina coach Roy Williams says he’s fine after collapsing and leaving Tuesday’s game with vertigo

Andrada said. “So we have no worry with the security of the tourists, of the athletes and those who will work on the Games.”

Water pollution The former chief executive of World Sailing says he was forced out for trying to move the Olympic competition away from polluted Guanabara Bay after independent testing conducted by the Associated Press found disease-causing viruses linked to human sewage at levels thousands of times above what would be considered alarming in the United States or Europe. The tests include the sailing venue as well as those for rowing, canoeing, open-water swimming and triathlon. RICK MAESE

2 At Heat, Feb. 24 Hassan Whiteside missed the teams’ earlier meeting, a narrow 111-103 Warriors home win Jan. 11. Maybe the athletic center will be the difference in this one.

1 At Thunder, Feb. 27 Ending a long road trip in Oklahoma City just isn’t fair. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook combined for 67 points in last weekend’s 116-108 loss to the Warriors.

Could D.C. lure Arena Football? Ted Leonsis, right, is close to expanding his Washington sports empire by adding an Arena Football League team that would play at Verizon Center beginning in the spring of 2017, according to a top official at his ownership group. “We’re in serious negotiations, and we’re excited about the opportunity,” said Randall Boe, executive vice president and general counsel for Monumental Sports & Entertainment, which owns the Wizards, Capitals and Mystics. Arena League commissioner Scott Butera said: “We love the market, and it fits our strategic plan.

Vickers likely to fill in for Stewart at Daytona

Kenyan athletes accuse official of asking for bribe

Brian Vickers is expected to replace injured driver Tony Stewart for the NASCAR season opener at Daytona International Speedway, The Associated Press has learned. Stewart-Haas Racing has scheduled a Friday news conference to discuss its plans for the No. 14 Chevrolet. A person familiar with the situation told AP on Wednesday that the team wants to use Vickers, who must be medically cleared. He ran only two races last season before suffering a recurrence of blood clots. Stewart will miss the start of his final NASCAR season because of a fractured vertebra. (AP)

Two Kenyan athletes serving fouryear bans for doping at the 2015 world championships said the chief executive of Athletics Kenya, the country’s governing body for track and field, asked them each for a $24,000 bribe to reduce their suspensions. Joy Sakari and Francisca Koki Manunga said that CEO Isaac Mwangi asked for the payment in an Oct. 16 meeting, but that they could not raise the money. They were then informed of their four-year bans in an email Nov. 27. Mwangi dismissed the allegation as “just a joke” and denied ever meeting privately with the athletes. (AP)

BARS Stuck on someone and not sure how you’re going to weather Valentine’s Day? Try shredding a photo of your ex. At Capitol City Brewing Co. and Hooters, the lovelorn can bring in photos of a former flame and drink or eat away all the pain. Al Chadsey, general manager of Capitol City’s Shirlington location (4001 Campbell Ave.), says he hosted his first Shred Your Ex event in the 1990s when he owned Lulu in downtown Washington. Now Chadsey runs his Shred Your Ex promotion at Capitol City each Valentine’s weekend. “It started as a joke,” Chadsey

says. Bar patrons bring in a photo, pop it in the paper shredder and then trade the remains for a free beer. “These restaurants all discriminate against singles on Valentine’s Day,” he says, noting that Cap City will offer a prix fixe dinner for couples, “but we’re also gonna do things for people who didn’t quite make the grade.” (Note: Shred Your Ex will happen at the Shirlington Cap City, but not at the D.C. location.) “This is a way to put a smile on their face,” he says, “and have a lot of fun.” Chadsey thinks he’s the first to host a Shred Your Ex event; he

contributed the concept, he says, to a bar revitalization seminar, and the idea was then published in a booklet of promo ideas for bar and restaurant owners. Hooters is also getting in on the game: At the Chinatown location (825 Seventh St. NW), for example, if you bring in an ex photo and submit it to the shredder, your second set of 10 chicken wings is on the house.

Election frenzy hits Smithsonian with new display The spirit of the political season has reached the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History (14th Street and Constitution Avenue) with a small display greeting visitors at its Constitution Avenue entrance that’s enthusiastically titled “Hooray for Politics!” Rally signs from the remaining 2016 presidential candidates — a dwindling number destined for the museum’s vast political history division — contrast with an array of antique ballot boxes and early voting machines that are more than a century old (like the one pictured above right that was invented in 1898).

The exhibit, on display through Nov. 11, comes as the museum is preparing activities around the theme “America Participates” leading into next year’s opening of “American Democracy: The Great Leap of Faith,” a large permanent exhibition that will focus on civic engagement.

be a blonde, a brunette. GIL: People ask all the time, “What kind of girls turn you on?” And the two types that drive us crazy are blondes and then it’s brunettes. GEORGE: If someone is a dirty blonde, which is half-brunette, oh my God. GIL: Redheads are welcome too.

As comedy duo ‘Oh, Hello,’ John Mulaney and Nick Kroll are having a senior moment IF YOU’RE GOING TO SEE stand-up comedians Nick Kroll and John Mulaney perform at the Warner Theatre this week, don’t expect to see

Nick Kroll or John Mulaney performing stand-up comedy. Instead, the two longtime friends and Georgetown alums will stage an off-Broadway play written by their alter egos, Gil Faizon (Kroll, right) and George St. Geegland (Mulaney, left), otherwise known as the comedy duo “Oh, Hello.” The old, cranky New Yorkers are misinformed and overconfident, and they tend to mispronounce words randomly. Kroll and Mulaney honed the characters at New York comedy clubs in the mid-2000s and eventually brought them to Comedy Central on “Kroll Show,” where they pranked unsuspecting people with too much tuna. Fresh off their off-Broadway run, we spoke to Kroll and Mulaney, who stayed in character as Gil and George. RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS) Congrats on the rave reviews for the “Oh, Hello” live show. GIL: You’re welcome and it’s expected. How was the off-Broadway run? GEORGE: We rule, so this has just been another home run derby for the two kings of theater. And to return to the Beltway — to return to D.C. — it’s a big day for everyone that lives there. You know no one is actually from D.C. It’s a Las Vegas with zero nightlife but it’s a city of people from all over the country — from Maryland, from Delaware, from Maryland — so we’re so psyched to get on that stage at the Warner and really show you what real culture is. How do you feel about D.C.?

GIL: We did a March on Washington when [Michael] Dukakis lost. We thought we were going to start an uprising. GEORGE: We had an Easton baseball bat and we were going to take over the place and physically put Dukakis in the White House. But we ended up staying at that Marriott across the Key Bridge in Virginia so we didn’t actually get into D.C. proper.

But you were close enough? GIL: Yeah, we could see it. We were at the Marriott and one time we were going to visit Chevy Chase. The person or the place? GIL: Well, we thought we were visiting the person, but we ended up at an Einstein [Bros.] Bagel in

Chevy Chase and that was confusing because the people at the bagel store were very nice and we said, “This isn’t Chevy Chase.” Tell me a bit about the show you’re bringing to D.C. GEORGE: This is a play. Rudi, you’re too young to know this, but we are very important people. Oh, I’m aware. GEORGE: Oh, good, good. I was kidding when I said you were too young. We know that we’re in the zeitgeist. So we wrote a play. Gil and I, we’ve done many plays. I think most people know us for our hit existential drama “Waiting for Godot, Hello.” And it was a ripoff of “Waiting for Godot” but in our version Godot comes

out in three minutes and we prank him with too much tuna. GIL: The audience was in stitches because we were performing at a burn ward in Washington Heights but the point is that … GEORGE: … it’s a new play. It’s an evening with us. It’s a narrative. We go deep into the narrative of this beautiful play we’ve written and we’ll also take some questions from the audience. You’ll be in D.C. on Valentine’s Day. What are your thoughts on the holiday? GEORGE: To me, Valentine’s Day isn’t about spending money, it’s about getting a nice Shoebox greeting card and a box of Milky Way Darks and giving them to a beautiful 10 blonde, or if it can’t

Some people may be going on Valentine’s Day dates to see your show. GEORGE: Sometimes, at a show, we’ll go, “Hey, a guy here wants to propose marriage to his girl.” We like to force that. We like to wade into the audience and make things uncomfortable for couples that have been dating for a while. We go, “Why won’t you commit?” There’s just frank, uncomfortable discussions about what commitment means with the audience. But really, we love love and we love 10s and we love blondes and we love brunettes and I don’t want to leave out redheads — redheads drive us crazy. And we love women, we’re such feminists. I didn’t realize that. GEORGE: Oh, we are such feminists. If a woman’s doing a good job, we’ll lean in with coffee breath and we’ll go, “You’re doing great, sweetheart.” That’s your form of feminism? GEORGE: I think it’s a really nice form. GIL: You gotta call girls “sweetheart” so they know you wanna be nice to them.

Pursuit of sappiness Alan Cumming sings his way to the heart beneath all the cheese

“I’m committing to [these songs], I’m being truthful. It’s about authenticity, and how not being yourself is such a waste.”

STAGE You might know Alan Cumming from “Cabaret,” which earned him a Tony Award in 1998 for his creepily campy performance. Or from “The Good Wife,” for which he’s been nominated for three Emmys and two Golden Globes. Or from “Burlesque.” Or from “X-Men 2.” Or the “Spy Kids” films. Or from “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.” And or and or and or and or. You probably don’t know him from his cover version of Miley Cyrus’ “The Climb.” “I like things people aren’t supposed to like,” says Cumming, who’s bringing his one-man show “Alan Cumming Sings Sappy Songs” to Strathmore for Valentine’s Day. “I think the message of [‘The Climb’] is so beautiful. And the theme of the show is about authenticity, being true to yourself; they’re all songs I feel like I agree with the message, and me singing them presents them in a different way.” Aside from Miley, Cumming’s show include songs by Rufus Wainwright and Billy Joel and a mashup of Adele, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry called “Someone on the Edge of Firework,” but none of them are strict covers. “It’s a more pared-down interpretation; we don’t have a huge production,” Cumming says. “I think I act the songs. When

Alan Cumming mixes personal stories and pop tunes in his one-man show.

STEVE VACCARIELLO

I start singing Avril Lavigne, people start tittering, of course. Then they listen to it and what it’s saying is really lovely.” Between songs, Cumming delivers “stories about my hideous childhood” and other autobiographical tales. That balance, he says, is what takes the show beyond mere Karaoke with Alan. “These songs aren’t necessarily suitable for me,” he says. “But I’m committing to them, I’m being truthful. It’s about authenticity, and how not being yourself is such a waste.” Part of that, Cumming says, is rejecting the cynicism that derides anything that’s popular as cheesy. “There’s a kind of slightly jaded age that we come to when people don’t want to seem foolish, to be overly emotional,” he says. “That’s the thing I fear I’m going to become like. It means you’re losing your authenticity, that childlike joy.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS) Music Center at Strathmore, 5301 Tuckerman Lane, North Bethesda, Md.; Sun., 8 p.m., sold out.

‘Where to Invade Next’

indies It would be easy to assume that “Where to Invade Next,” Michael Moore’s latest (out arties Friday) is another one of the progressive documentarian’s anti-war screeds. Instead,

it’s pro-invasion — in a way. Moore travels to countries that do things better than we do to steal their ideas: Italy for its extensive, government-mandated vacation policies; Portugal for its innovative way of dealing with drug addiction; Finland for its school system, largely ranked as the world’s best. “Invade” is more playful than Moore’s earlier, often angrier films, but it does play to his largely liberal audience. Still, it could persuade anyone to become a French child, if only for the school lunches — real food, on real plates, with a cheese course to end. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY FILM RIFFS

Going in style In “Zoolander 2,” out Friday, models Derek and Hansel smize their way through international intrigue. Their adventures stretch way beyond the runway, as films about fashion tend to do. ‘READY TO WEAR’: This Altman film follows a group of people in Paris for Fashion Week. It also features Hollywood’s signature style of assuming Americans can’t learn three words in another language — everywhere else, the film’s title is “Pret-a-Porter.” ‘THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA’:

Meryl Streep stole the show as an Anna Wintour type, but the film’s unsung hero is Emily Blunt, who, as her assistant, works just as hard as heroine Anne Hathaway with twice the style and half the freakouts. ‘THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE’:

You don’t have to like fashion to be intrigued by this 2009 documentary about Vogue’s biggest issue of 2007 — you just have to like smart women with sharp wits, a drive for excellence and just a touch of insanity. ‘FUNNY FACE’: When a fashion maven tires of models who are stupid, she and her photographer (Fred Astaire) search for one with brains. They find Jo Stockton, an intellectual bookstore clerk who fortuitously looks like Audrey Hepburn (Audrey Hepburn). ‘MANNEQUIN’: An ancient Egyptian princess (NO REALLY) is transported into the body of a Manhattan department store mannequin (REALLY), who then becomes the object of love for a window dresser (NO REALLY. THAT’S THE PLOT.).

April, 1984. 13:00. Comrade 6079, Winston Smith, thinks a thought, starts a diary, and falls in love. But Big Brother is watching him—and the door to Room 101 can swing open in the blink of an eye. George Orwell’s chilling dystopian future is brought to life in a radical multimedia production. This haunting dystopian crime drama, featuring Ed Gero in his Woolly debut, hacks into the dark side of technology and desire. Discovered in a parking lot in England, an ancient manuscript proves to be the long-lost play first play by Shakespeare! The wildly hilarious Reduced Shakespeare Company throw themselves into this fast, funny, and frenzied festival of physical finesse and witty wordplay. An incendiary adaptation, a satire, a meta-theatrical melee; When you’re inside Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ head, nothing is off-limits. Love and litigation, deep passions, and predatory lending are grappled with in this retelling of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice. Set among the Black & Jewish populations in post-Civil War Washington, DC, “Merchants” is a remarkable tale of money, merchandise, and mercy. This wildly popular comedy whodunit keeps the audiences laughing as they try to outwit the suspects and catch the killer. New clues and up to the minute improvisation deliver “the most fun I ever had at the Kennedy Center.” (Arch Campbell ABC News)

weekendpass GO IT ALONE AT:

I’m the first to admit I have issues with sharing — only child alert! — which makes dining out alone an absolute joy. I can drop the “I’d give you a bite but I’m sick!” shtick and concentrate on the glorious, mine-all-mine meal before me. Some cuisines lend themselves to dining solo, such as tapas, which allow you to sample a number of dishes. Others make more sense with friends, but that’s why to-go containers were invented. Plus, I’d never judge anyone for eating an entire pizza alone. Dining by yourself can also be a good strategy: Scoring a table for one is relatively painless at Rose’s Luxury (717 Eighth St. SE; rosesluxury.com) and means you can bypass the three-hour-plus wait times. What’s more, when I eat at the Barracks Row hot spot, I’m usually seated at the chef’s counter alongside other solo diners. Recently, I had a question-filled conversation with someone in town for an apple growers convention. During another meal, I met a woman who runs a battle re-enactment company. Moral of the story: Let your guard down, pick your fork up and be prepared to leave enlightened. HOLLEY SIMMONS

Snag the solo seat in front of the kitchen at Bad Saint to watch the chefs at work.

DAYNA SMITH (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

DINING

Bad Saint: This 24-seat Filipino joint fills up quickly. Not only does dining alone increase your chances of nabbing a spot, but there’s a lone seat in front of the open kitchen just for solo diners. 3226 11th St. NW; badsaintdc.com.

Bourbon Steak: Sometimes if I’m in a playful mood, I’ll go to a hotel restaurant (where I’m less likely to run into people I know) and assume a completely

different identity — like, say, the owner of a battle re-enactment company, to choose an example completely at random. 2800 Pennsylvania Ave. NW; bourbonsteakdc.com.

Beefsteak: For a healthy bite in a hurry, I love hitting up Jose Andres’ fast-casual concept. One downside: You can’t ask your dining companion if you have broccoli in your teeth. Multiple locations; beefsteakveggies.com.

CONCERTS

MUSEUMS

I used to dread going to concerts alone. Who would I talk to during the breaks? Who would I high-five when the band played my favorite song? Who would save my spot when I went to grab a beer? Now I realize that when you’re alone at a concert, you have the freedom to do as you please. Arrive as late or as early as you want. Dance like nobody’s watching (and if they are, at least they’re strangers). Roam freely in search of the best view, the best sound or the spot closest to the bathrooms. Plus, just because you arrive alone doesn’t mean you’ll be alone all night. You’re with hundreds or even thousands of people who like the same music as you: Strike up a conversation, make a new friend. Most musicians end up going solo at some point, so why not give it a try? RUDI GREENBERG

Visiting a museum is like reading a book: You don’t read with someone else. You move at your own pace, perhaps going back over a portion that you enjoyed or didn’t fully grasp the first time. And you can skip a section whenever you please. So going to the National Portrait Gallery and Smithsonian American Art Museum (Eighth and F streets NW; npg.si.edu, americanart.si.edu) — two museums in one — is like reading an encyclopedia, or falling down a Wikipedia rabbit hole. In the Portrait Gallery, every painting, photograph and bust comes with biographical information on the subject; maybe you don’t want to read about President Millard Fillmore, but you might want to watch some greatest hits from presidential speeches. And you certainly don’t want to wait for someone to catch up. In the American Art Museum, stare at Nam June Paik’s “Megatron/Matrix” and “Electronic Superhighway” for as long as you like. And when you’re done, stop at the museums’ gift shops, where you can pick up something thoughtful for the person you didn’t invite to join you. JOHN TAYLOR

GO IT ALONE AT: 9:30 Club: It’s hard to move around during a sold-out show, but if you’re alone, you can more easily maneuver through the crowd. Once you’ve gotten a good look at the band, head up to the balcony, where the sound is just as good and there’s more room to dance. 815 V St. NW; 930.com. Gypsy Sally’s: An intimate space that rarely gets too packed, the Georgetown venue specializes in jam bands and Americana

acts, and happy-go-lucky, dancing fans. Don’t want to stand? Grab a seat at one of the club’s two bars or the raised section of tables behind the dance floor. 3401 Water St. NW; gypsysallys.com.

GO IT ALONE AT:

Black Cat: During the Foo Fighters’ soldout, three-hour show in 2014, I worked my way from the soundboard at the back to 10 feet from the stage by the encore. Good luck doing that with two or three friends.

National Gallery of Art: This behemoth offers audio tours — and if you’ve ever tried sharing a museum listening device, you already know solo is the way to go.

MOVIES

DRINKING

Here’s some unsolicited love advice: Going to the movies is a terrible date idea. Why do you need to find a plus-one to see a movie anyway? So you can say things like, “Sure, I guess that Zac Efron movie looks interesting” instead of seeing what you really want? So you can fight over armrest space — or worse, have to extricate yourself from a date who insists on holding hands? Cinema should make us fall in love with storytelling, gasp at technical feats and forget there’s anything else beyond the screen in front of us. And nothing ruins that quite like hearing “What TV show is that guy from again?” hissed in your ear. So choose your own seat (I’ll be halfway between the screen and the back wall and on the end of the row, lest I get blocked in by THAT guy who waits through the credits to see the name of the key grip he’s appreciating), grab some popcorn the way you want it (my standing order is “all the butter and salt you have”) and get lost. LORI McCUE

Tell friends you occasionally and willingly drink alone and they’ll give you a look full of worry, pity or both. But the truth is, having a drink by yourself can be therapeutic. Sometimes after a busy, deadline-heavy day at work, I just want to sit down with a flavorful beer or well-made cocktail and be alone with my thoughts, scribble ideas in my notebook or finally get around to that #longread that’s repeatedly popped up in my Facebook feed. It feels wonderful. The key is finding the right place: Your convivial neighborhood bar, where everyone is allowed to join in the conversation of the day, is a good place to go when you’re on your own, but not when you want to be alone. (These are two very different concepts.) When I’m in the latter mood, I prefer quieter places, such as Quill, the bar in the Jefferson Hotel (1200 16th St. NW; jeffersondc.com), where bartenders can read their guests and know who’s in the mood to talk and who isn’t. A piano tinkling in the background while I sip a perfect martini only makes it more relaxing. FRITZ HAHN

GO IT ALONE AT: Landmark E Street Cinema: It’s hard to top the Oscar-bait film selection, but the best part about this swanky movie house is that it’s underground and out of the reach of cell service. 555 11th St. NW; landmarktheatres.com.

Angelika Pop-Up at Union Market: Come to this pocket-size theater before noon

and get a free cup of coffee with your indie release or foreign flick. 550 Penn St. NE; angelikafilmcenter.com/dc.

AMC Courthouse Plaza 8: There are two good reasons I schlep this far from home for a film: the luxury seating and to avoid running into anyone I know when I’m going to see something I’m ashamed of. 2150 Clarendon Blvd., Arlington; amctheatres.com.

GO IT ALONE AT: Galaxy Hut: Grab a two-top table on the patio, or a video game table across from the bar. 2711 Wilson Blvd., Arlington; galaxyhut.com.

Bedrock Billiards : The subterranean pool hall’s layout includes tables, couches and

nooks perfect for hiding out, and darts is a great game to play solo. 1841 Columbia Road NW; bedrockbilliards.com.

Pizzeria Paradiso: Head straight for the basement bar and grab one of the corner stools. 3282 M St. NW; eatyourpizza.com.

BASEBALL

BALLET

I’m not a Nationals fan, but I love baseball, and attending games by myself is the best way for me to concentrate on the action and fully appreciate the many unique plays and players within it. When I go to a game with a group, the focus is rarely on the field. When I’m there alone, there’s nothing to distract me from dissecting every pitch and considering every angle of the strategy within it: Why did the pitcher throw a curveball in that count? Why did the infielder position himself there against that hitter? Why did the manager leave the closer in the game after he just choked the MVP in the dugout? I’m more likely to keep score when I’m by myself, and I’ll often move to a different part of the ballpark every few innings to get a different perspective. The standing-room areas behind most 100-level sections at Nationals Park (1500 S. Capitol St. SE; nationals.com) provide great vantage points without requiring a top-price ticket, and they give you the flexibility to move quickly to a new perch between innings. Weekday and weeknight games generally provide the best bargains on online ticket sites such as StubHub and SeatGeek, and single tickets are almost always among the cheapest options available. GREG SCHIMMEL

For a brief moment in time, I thought I might have a future as a prima ballerina. I’d been chosen as the star of my preschool dance recital, a job that mostly involved plucking a rose from a vase. I’ve since grown up and given up on performance. But I still love watching dance. And the best way to do it is alone, often at the Kennedy Center (2700 F St. NW; kennedy-center.org). As an amateur, I don’t have the vocabulary to chat about what I’ve seen. Alone, I can enjoy the primal, visceral sensation of watching humans do something they shouldn’t be able to, given the rules of gravity and anatomy. I move my feet; I bounce up and down. Sometimes, I feel my arms rising in time with the dancers. I savor the crazy-making pirouettes of the Black Swan or the way Alvin Ailey’s dancers melt into each other during a pas de deux at the Kennedy Center (where, by the way, there are usually great seats available for single showgoers). And afterward, I can skip and twirl out of the theater, moved by the power of movement without feeling like an idiot in front of my friends. AMANDA ERICKSON

KARL VILLANUEVA (ART MUSEUM OF THE AMERICAS)

Shooting history Karl Villanueva was a 24-yearold photojournalist on that fateful day in 1981 when the former British Honduras was granted full independence (and became a member of the Commonwealth). His journalistic credentials allowed him to be wherever the action was, but he shot photos mostly for himself. “I tried to make sure I covered everything,” he says, “because I knew it was a historical event that would never happen again.” He covered the reactions of the general public as well as key moments in the official ceremony — it

was a peaceful transfer of power — with George Cadle Price, leader of the independence movement, and the British royal family. One of Villanueva’s favorite photos features soldiers folding up the Union Jack. “It was lovely to see that moment,” he says. “There was so much pomp and circumstance. The British are the best when it comes to poise.” Then there’s the close-up of Price at a press conference, above. “It’s as if he was posing for the shot,” Villanueva says. “I’ve seen lots of shots with George Price. I think mine is the best.”

SANTIAGO CAL

3&4

Through a child’s eyes Santiago Cal was still in grade school when Belize became a sovereign nation. So when the Art Museum of the Americas approached him to create a project for “Belize 35,” he thought back to his own experiences in 1981. Cal’s 15-foot-long, untitled installation is entirely carved from wood and contains an elevated pathway with a row of 35 tapirs, the piglike national animal of Belize. In the piece, a meditative George Cadle Price is riding the tapir in front. “George Price’s slow, peaceful commitment to bringing this

country to autonomy reminded me of a tapir, a docile, peaceful creature,” Cal says. His work isn’t all nostalgia and playfulness. The artist chose symbols of peace to draw attention to the present-day crime and violence in Belize that have tarnished its reputation 35 years on. Meanwhile, a quetzal (neighboring Guatemala’s national bird) mounted on the wall represents both Mayan culture and the ongoing border disputes between Belize and Guatemala. Art Museum of the Americas, 201 18th St. NW; through March 13, free.

Kathy Griffin

New York-based rock band TAUK, above, is currently on a cross-country tour supporting veteran jam band Umphrey’s McGee, and the pairing couldn’t be more apt. TAUK’s allinstrumental compositions, which touch on funk, jazz, prog rock and electronica, aren’t too far removed from the improvised jams Umphrey’s McGee lays down nightly. Both groups have also covered Nirvana’s “In Bloom,” but TAUK’s version, released on the live album“Headroom,” mashes the song up with the original song “Never Remember.”

An Emmy-winning reality TV star and a Grammy-winning comedian, Kathy Griffin is also a best-selling author. Her next book, for which she just signed a seven-figure deal, will feature more of her brand of celebrity gossip.
