The Day: Lots of Dancing This Halloween

Good morning, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.

Halloween may not officially be until Thursday, but many people spent this weekend dressed up for early celebrations? If you did, we want to hear all about your pre-Halloween shenanigans around the nabe. Tell us how you celebrated in the comments and don’t forget to send your photos to us at TheNabe@thenabe.me or by sharing them in our Flickr group.

• Want to get into a spooky mood? Don’t miss The Brooklyn Academy of Music‘s presentation of “Dark Theater,” a performance by Dance Heginbotham. “Dark Theater” is a new work inspired by “Relâche,” a 1924 ballet by the Dadaist painter Francis Picabia. In “Dark Theater,” six dancers traverse a surreal world set to a score by Erik Satie. Performed as part of the Next Wave Festival, “Dark Theater” is Dance Heginbotham’s debut at BAM. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased here. Performances take place at 7:30 p.m. in the Fishman Space at 321 Ashland Place from Oct. 29 through Nov. 1.
• Greenlight Bookstore is hosting a free reading and discussion tonight on Black pop culture and civil rights with award-winning journalists and writers Sam Freedman and Ericka Blount Danois.

After the conversation, the authors will be available for book signing. The evening begins at 7:30 p.m. at Greenlight Bookstore on 686 Fulton Street.
