AC2: Twice the dished dirt with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen
On tap this week: A food and beer fest in Brooklyn, multimedia LGBT art and AC2, three nights of live tea-spilling featuring Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper!
Is there a drag fan in the known universe who isn’t aware that RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars third season premieres tonight? Or that every gay bar with a flatscreen will be showing it until their bars run dry? You can see the premiere (and subsequent showings and episodes) at Boots and Saddle Drag Lounge, Mr. Biggs in Hell’s Kitchen, Lot 45 in Bushwick, the Museum of Sex, the Gateway in Bed-Stuy and Hinterlands in Prospect Park, to name but a few.
“Where Do We Fit? Choreographers Address Gender, Sexuality and Race” starts the weekend off on a highbrow note, as a panel appears at the 92nd Street YMCA to drill down into their craft. Five diverse choreographers share personal stories in new dance works that explore questions of identity and sexuality, personhood and power, inclusion and exclusion and the universal desire to belong. In addition, you’ll see erformances by Jasmine Hearn, Pamela Pietro, Trebien Pollard, Aimee Rials and Chuck Wilt.
AC2, as it’s come to be known, translates to three nights of CNN anchor Anderson Cooper and Watch What Happens Live’s Andy Cohen as they swap opinions, conversation and stories. The two buddies dish on pop culture, the world of gay celebrity and their longtime friendship. Perhaps the usually reserved Cooper will let loose with pressure (and tequila) from the Bravo maestro at the Beacon Theatre.
