Wow, what a breath of fresh air Alysa Pires' Standard Deviation is! With the fabulously contrasting sounds of Jack Frerar's music, the choreography unfolds with intriguing, unforced & constantly interesting interactions. Thank you @nycballet! Ph Erin Baiano

When you see a full park, you can say, let’s shut down that park, there’s too many people in it. Or you can say, wow, people need access to public space, we need to add more. And then of course, you open up the streets. I spoke with ⁦@bruce_arthur⁩: thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

Bruce Arthur: Now is the time to redraw our city. We need more room to breathe, not less
