Two events on the horizon (one near, one far) that might be of interest:
* On February 2 at 8 pm,
Arlington Independent Media is hosting a showing of
Chocolate City, the 2007 documentary by Ellie Walton and Sam Wild about families who were displaced by the redevelopment of
Capper/Carrollsburg. There will be a conversation after the screening with Walton. (It would be interesting to know whether any of the families portrayed in the movie have since come back to the area by moving into any of
Capitol Quarter low-income units, since the movie was filmed and completed before any of the construction at CQ started.)
Tickets are $6, and the movie begins at 8 pm at the Artisphere, 1101 Wilson Blvd., in Arlington. (h/t reader P)
* Coming to the
Yards Park in April is
Sensorium, a "culinary and sensory experience featuring creative atmosphere and cutting-edge production." According to the
press release, this will be a "sophisticated 12-course culinary production" from Executive Chef Bryon Brown, founder of
Artisa Kitchen and the DC Supper Club series. A temporary structure (called a "geodesic dome" by the producers, but described to me by the BID as a tent) will be set up on the eastern side of the park, just south of the Trapeze School's tent, and there will be audio/visual and performance elements woven through the 12-course meal. (Cirque du Soleil meets Top Chef?) Each show will have only 30 tickets available, with two seatings per day (5:30 and 9 pm), running for six weeks beginning on April 12. Tickets are $150, but are discounted to $125 for the first four shows.
