The River To River Festival’s Extraordinary Moves dance series is producing some stunning photographs. The series features works by three of the dance world’s "most visually adventurous artists," including the world premiere of STREB’s Human Fountain, which is a 30-foot-high re-creation of Las Vegas’s famous Bellagio Fountains using human bodies instead of water. (This is part of STREB's Essentialist Acts, which will premiere with The Whitney at The Park Avenue Armory this fall). Check it all out this weekend, the 90 minute performance will take place tonight at 6 p.m., and tomorrow at 2, 4 and 6 p.m., at the World Financial Center Plaza.
