In "… They Stood Shaking While Others Began to Shout," which was first seen last spring in New York and returns courtesy of Danspace Project, Gibney and American Realness, eight dancers and two singers enact a modern folk dance of faith that is in conversation with the past.

The scene captured some of the best and worst aspects of American Realness, the festival of contemporary performance that takes over the Abrons each January: on the one hand, irresistible dancing grounded in smart, subversive choices; on the other, a sense of complicated work too hastily assembled.

Despite Lee's annoying habit of beating viewers over the head with social messages, he managed to inject BlacKkKlansman with an effective mix of beauty, pain, humor, and realness, mimicking the reality of what it means to be Black in America, even with the effects of racism shaping our existence.

Today, when newscasters announce that we're "headin' into some chilly weather" and blogs publish headlines like "An Intriguing, Totally Not Recommended Method for Clearing Your Earwax," we hear casual speech as "real" — a realness that no one expected of a Franklin D. Roosevelt or even a Lyndon B. Johnson.

"I think if you try to have a show that's set in 2017 in Los Angeles and you don't talk about the world at large you're being so incredibly disingenuous that I feel like you lose the authenticity and the realness and the honesty of the show," Watkins says.

Masterminded by Thomas Benjamin Snapp Pryor, Realness coincides with the citywide conference of the Association of Performing Arts Presenters — international curators and producers in the market for new work — which returns each year like a recurring dream, or nightmare, depending on your relationship to the idea of shopping for live art.

Over the last few years we've seen the realness in familial comedies about people of color like Black-ish, Fresh off the Boat, and Jane the Virgin, but seeing women of color as heroines is inspiring in a different way—especially to those who feel like their representation is severely lacking.

The hyper-realistic reflection of light on the ground in front of the car should've given it away, but I was so distracted by the realness of everything else that I didn't pick up on the clues that the BMW 8 series coupe I was looking at wasn't the real thing.

When: Thursday, January 21983–Thursday, January 21986 (prices vary) Where: Abrons Arts Center (73 Grand Street, Lower East Side, Manhattan) and Gibney Dance (27 Broadway, Tribeca, Manhattan) American Realness was once the upstart of the January festival set, but now that it's in its eighth edition, it's hardly a newbie.

She's the heart of the series, by dint of her engaging realness as a woman getting a crash course in how to be an honest-to-god spy, which sometimes means hastily shaving her armpits over a hotel sink in order to wear a sleeveless dress out to flirt with a source.

Tully has already attracted the wrath of some corners of the "mommy world" on the internet who felt that they were sold a bill of goods: lured in with promises of funny maternal realness, only to be faced with a woman experiencing a psychotic break triggered by exhaustion, loneliness, and self-doubt.

The newly released first-look at the upcoming young adult romp not only promises Élite will serve up the kind of prep school realness we haven't seen since Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) walked the halls of Constance Billard School for Girls, but, it will also breath the same soapy, sexy, rarified air.

Easter, a professor of emergency medicine at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, sees this couple's actions as a success story for the course, which he helped found a few years ago: The simulation had enough fidelity that even romantic entanglements went out the airlock in favor of Mars-dilemma realness.

But, while her new book (the follow-up to her 2014 memoir Redefining Realness) traces the autobiographic path its author took, it is also the story of a young woman grappling with how to tell it on her own terms, and what parts of herself she chooses to share with the world.

Despite releasing two solo mixtapes, Loyalty Is Everything and Realness Over Millions (three if you count his MySpace-era debut, 23 Everything Fast, which even he doesn't have a copy of), and a group effort with Mid-Town Money, the soft-spoken TeeCee is probably more widely known for his guest appearances.

Pether, who is of Kalkadoon heritage (a people indigenous to present-day Australia), performs as part of both the American Realness festival and First Nations Dialog: KIN, a series of conversations, workshops and performances at Performance Space New York from Saturday to Thursday that is led by indigenous artists and explores indigenous experiences.performancespacenewyork.

Rather than having the participants led by an expert or curriculum of some kind, he leaves the nonactors more or less to their own devices, to role-play, team-build, dance and otherwise generate intimacy in a process that resonates on screen as both authentic, in its loosely directed realness, and bizarrely stilted by ritual.

Programming takes place across the city with organizations like The Lenape Center, Amerinda, American Indian Community House, Abrons Arts Center, American Realness, Danspace Project, Gibney Dance, La MaMA, Performance Space New York, Safe Harbors Indigenous Collective, Under the Radar, the Association of Performing Arts Presenters (APAP), and the International Society for the Performing Arts (ISPA).

More rhythmically attuned to straightahead bounce than the elegant glide of retrodisco, he must have been delighted when the giant inflatable hooks currently bursting all over the radio came into fashion, and if this album doesn't reach the instant grace of 2015's Realness, it compensates with its own herky-jerky style of angular keyboard momentum.

Where Realness foregrounded a style of blissful/soulful dance anthem whose catchiness was inextricably linked to a sense of universal anonymity, this time around the point is dialogue — an array of organized, sampled, looped, perfectly timed drag queen voices chattering at each other over stark beats that suit the cadences of Vjuan Allure, AB Soto, and RuPaul himself.

The climatic scene of a black-tie dinner gala at the museum — in which a performer acting as a wild ape (a creature who adheres to very different social mores) harasses the guests until they turn on him to beat him to pieces — especially demonstrates how "realness" is often no better option that the agreed-upon script.

It's the late 1980s and New Jersey everyman Stan Bowes (Evan Peters) is sitting on the couch with his transgender girlfriend, Angel (Indya Moore), and asking her, earnestly, to take him to the balls she's always talking about: The events where she and her LGBTQ family, mostly people of color, strut in evening competitions to determine who can bring the most realness.

As unexpectedly strange, haunting, funny and magical as the novel is, and as committed to highlighting the fascination of white music fans with the authenticity or realness of the black performers they love, I can't understand why it is written from a third-person point of view rather than from Jay's perspective or that of a white journalist following Jay throughout his life.

Both "Don't Take the Money," which features Lorde, and "Hate that You Know Me," which features Carly Rae Jepsen (in case you somehow didn't already get that Antonoff is pop royalty) sound like they'd fit pretty comfortably on the soundtrack of a John Hughes movie, and if that's not the mark of 80's realness, I'm not sure what is.

"And I know people back home that I've represented for six years in the state Legislature in Michigan are kind of used to my realness, used to this passion that I have, and I know for many people it did get the best of me at that moment, and for many people it might have been a -- very much a distraction."

There's a multi-faceted realness that clings to ANTI in ways that are absent from her other albums—think of the earnest crack in her voice on "Higher," the self-confidence that has made her a modern style icon in aural form on "Sex With Me," or the audacious choice to record a straight cover of Tame Impala's "Same Old Mistakes" just because she liked the song.

And we'll always be pushing to the realness, but you need songs like that to bring people to it because nobody really discovers the left field stuff, and to go on and do what we do and keep making music you have to make the singles—as much as we want to be like Frank Ocean and be able to fuck all of that off.

And by transposing some of the grit and silly shibboleths of contemporary city life onto that alternate landscape, the map (and the little blog posts he wrote to accompany it) prodded you to entertain the possibility that this ruined future might not feel like an emergency to those living it, that life in that archipelago might have all the richness, realness and inanity of ours.

They didn't try to keep a professional distance, which added a sense of realness that had been absent from my IRL work relationships; the women who found their way into my feed, and eventually into my inbox and group texts, were unafraid to openly share their learnings and admit that careers, like life, are journeys with wins, losses, and, most importantly, lots of lessons.

In the case of "Boasy", that realness refers to a wild month last year, when, in terms of spending, it was "about twenty this month that I ran through", by which he means twenty grand, on duck down jackets, Bape—all of that, all of that, off the back of having more money than he'd ever seen in his life (he's since got an accountant to handle things).

Which means if NHK is right, an 8K TV in the same space as a 4K TV should feel more "real" when sitting the same distance from the TV. (This ITU paper on the state of UHD TV has one of the easier to grasp explanations of "realness" in TV.)I say "should" because I haven't seen a perfect demonstration of this theory as there are other factors besides resolution which affect picture quality.

The week-long series of events, running from January 5 through 12, is a series of Indigenous-led performances, discussions, workshops, and ceremony, held in partnership with The Lenape Center, Amerinda, American Indian Community House, Abrons Arts Center, American Realness, Danspace Project, Gibney Dance, La MaMA, Performance Space New York, Safe Harbors Indigenous Collective, Under the Radar, the Association of Performing Arts Presenters (APAP), and the International Society for the Performing Arts (ISPA) — quite an impressive list.

They've traditionally been homes for big vocal talents ranging from Frank Sinatra to Elvis to Ms Dion herself—who, these days, is a Vegas mainstay, returning periodically to perform Celine and serve up some more of that power-walking-across-the-fucking-stage-because-I've-had-some-wines suburban mum realness that you know and love from all your 2AM YouTube "celine dion vegas performance weird funny" deep dives (would be very surprised if it was just me).

I'm sure different people would have different touchstones in terms of what has brought on this recent spate of nonfiction books related to race and gender, but the books that I think of as the ones that showed how personal writing by minorities can be big successes are Roxane Gay's Bad Feminist and Ta-Nehisi Coates's Between the World and Me. Among trans memoirs, Janet Mock's Redefining Realness came out in February 2014 and it definitely influenced my own decision to write on trans issues.

Speaking by telephone from his hometown of Douglas, Ga., he said that in terms of structure he was initially inspired by Rem Koolhaas and Bruce Mau's book, "S, M, L, XL," as well as by David Hammons's "Bliz-aard Ball Sale," in which the artist sold snowballs on the street in sizes from XS to XL. But that was just a starting point for Mr. Harrell, who added more sizes to his conceptual project, with dances that related Greek mythology to vogueing houses and explored notions of realness and authenticity.

Some celebrities couldn't help but tweet out lyrics: Sophia Bush gave us some throwback realness to celebrate: Solange was there for her sister with some Knowles family love: Zendaya said it all with one word: Rowan Blanchard knows that Bey is a "Black Bill Gates in the making": Laverne Cox and Gabrielle Union were all of us: John Legend had to meme it: Southwest Airlines had to get in on the "Formation" fun: Red Lobster was ready: Uzo Aduba was all about the unapologetic Blackness: Beyoncé made Chance feel good about himself: Mindy Kaling tweeted the Beyoncé appreciation trifecta, including lyrics, love, and #HotSauceInHerBagSwag: But mostly, people were ready to put hot sauce in their bags:
