THIS WEEK IN DANCE
Modern technology meets dance on Saturday as Lula Washington celebrates her dance company's 30th anniversary at the Luckman.
Lula Washington will reprise her newest ballet "www.connections.2010" for the 30th Anniversary Retrospective Performance. This work focuses on the way that cell phones, the internet and technology dominate all aspects of life, including romantic relationships. Pasadena visual artist, J-Walt (Spontaneous Fantasia), will create on-the-spot video visual art for the performance. They're offering Eye Spy LA readers a 15% discount. On Sunday Tatsuya Nagatani, Oguri, and Roxanne Steinberg join in

PLACES TO GO ANYTIME
 A fine dinner, music, art and a walk about the East Village at the 2nd Saturday Art Walk in Long Beach. Then onto the opening of Lights... Camera.... Art! with a side of ham on red carpet at the Belsito-Roche Gallery a few blocks away. Long Beach almost always has something going on.  I
was down by the L.A. River at the Sepulveda Dam and it was
spectacular. April showers bring May flowers, but not usually in L.A.
- but this year they did. You may be surprised to
find our river isn't just a cemented over drainage ditch - not
everywhere anyway. Friends of the Los Angeles River will be leading a tour of the river in the San Fernando Valley this Sunday.
The only downside to lunch at the Farmers Market at 3rd & Fairfax is choosing where to eat...
