This week on an all new episode, Nimbus Dance goes on stage with the full New Jersey Symphony for a reimagined Firebird, casting Stravinsky’s classic ballet in a present-day world of love, trauma and loss.

Deborah Jack fuses film and poetry in immersive video installations exploring shifting coastlines affected by climate change. State of the Arts goes on location with the artist in New Orleans and at her studio in Jersey City.

And at Rowan University, artists Syd Carpenter and Jack Larimore connect the campus to its Pine Barrens surroundings with Batsto Homestead, a public art piece created for the new Student Center.
