Prepare for the Unpreparable at MoMA PS1

There’s certainly a lot of variety in this variety show. Eleanor Bauer — a performer, choreographer, artist-in-residence, raconteur, and impressive improviser — is ready to crank out the Bauer Hour at MoMA PS1 this Sunday. It’s a talk show that often seems like a talent show that sometimes looks like an avant-garde tutorial where anything — or nothing — goes. The hostess (with the mostess, of course) invites guests to tell a story. Or dance. Or cry. Or whatever. Small talk, trash talk, pillow talk, straight talk, and even talking shop are allowed. No talk is an option, too, if a guest wants to pantomime.

Details: Bauer Hour, MoMA PS1, 22-25 Jackson Avenue, Long Island City, January 11th, 5 pm, $10/$5 for students and seniors/Free for children under age 16. The Bauer Hour is part of MoMA PS1’s Sunday Sessions, a weekly presentation that invites artists to share their latest projects and ideas.
