Led by Achinta Sawhny McDaniel, the OG Bollywood dance master credited with introducing Los Angeles to Bollywood 25 years ago, Mad Hot Bollywood brings legacy, swagger, and pure joy to the dance floor. Backing the heat is a playlist of nonstop Bollywood bangers that keep the room pulsing and the energy sky-high.
Expect:

Sexy, joyful movement
A welcoming, judgment-free dance floor
Real Indian dopeness, no performative nonsense
A room full of grown-ups dancing like nobody’s watching

Liquid courage is available (but never required). Come as you are—leave sweaty, smiling, and a little obsessed.
Mad Hot Bollywood: where LA comes to dance, glow, and feel damn good.

DANCING WITH BOB: RAUSCHENBERG, BROWN & CUNNINGHAM ONSTAGE
2026-05-07 19:30 - 21:30, 2026-05-08 19:30 - 21:30, 2026-05-09 19:30 - 21:30 | Bram Goldsmith Theater, 450 N Crescent Dr, Beverly Hills, CA, 90210, United States
Witness another side of Robert Rauschenberg in Dancing with Bob: Rauschenberg, Brown & Cunningham Onstage, a tribute marking the centennial of this American iconoclast. Rauschenberg is known for his visual art and sculptures, but he was also an avid cross-disciplinary collaborator—most frequently with choreographic legends Trisha Brown and Merce Cunningham. Together, these three figures revolutionized dance, sound, and visual art.
Trisha Brown Dance Company and Merce Cunningham Trust join forces, presenting Brown’s Set and Reset, hailed by the New York Times as “unmistakably Miss Brown at her most tantalizing.” Accompanied by Laurie Anderson’s bewitching electronic score, the choreography ripples with hypnotic, fluid energy.
Dive into Cunningham’s rarely seen comedic piece Travelogue, created with John Cage and Rauschenberg in 1977. This vaudevillian pièce de résistance showcases dancers in playful, absurd exchanges—deadpan yet brilliantly expressive.
Join us for this exhilarating retrospective on three artists whose synergy redefined creative expression.

Gathering a growing body of materials, organic and inorganic, they construct an elemental, sonic system. Structures are continuously emerging, disrupted, and reconfigured. How are things built around us, under us, between us, and through us? When it falls away, what are we left with?
