Bose saw a continuity between the struggles of lower-caste Indian people and the yearning for divinity, a "life rhythm," steady and urgent as a heartbeat, that gives the PMA's gorgeous exhibit its name. In the spirit of collaboration, 11 of the Justseeds' 19 members, hailing from around the country, will wait until they arrive at the gallery — five days before the opening — to get to work.

Time seems to stop when Chhom Nimol pines for a long-gone love, and you don't need to be bilingual to catch her drift. RZA calls Digi Snax a reintroduction and that makes sense; the first single, "You Can't Stop Me Now," is more than a little reminiscent of classic Wu instrumentation and production. With the Chapin Sisters' debut, Lake Bottom LP, playing in the background, it's a coin toss as to whether I'll finish this preview or slit my wrists.

Anonymous Theatre Co. casts a play is cast in secret, and the identity of actors is revealed only to fellow castmates and to the audience the night of the performance. "Bluetoothsome" is used to describe someone so good-looking that even wearing a Bluetooth earpiece doesn't really affect his/her hotness (because we all know how lame those things look). A vibrant figure in both the civil rights and feminist movements, Faith Ringgold will give a lecture on her life and work at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Each participant takes a different tack on the abstractionist path.
