Congratulations to Lily Sloan of Denton, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest!

You didn't manage to get to the Arts District Sunday? Still stuck on the Green Line? Feeling left out of the whole sunshine-y, people-happy, arts-splendid, crowded-parking experience? Well, we've got a video for you. Two of 'em, in fact.

Saturday is Diwali, the Festival of Lights, celebrated by a billion or so Hindus worldwide. Barely known in the United States, more and more people are celebrating it in North Texas, as the South Asian population has grown to a hundred-fifty thousand or so. KERA's Bill Zeeble reports:

Lots of performances this week, of course, with all the galas at the AT&T Performing Arts Center. But only one is a world-premiere dance work. Acclaimed choreographer Christopher Wheeldon — formerly of the Royal Ballet and the New York City Ballet — is in town with his own company Morphoses, and we visited during a rehearsal of the new work he's cooking up for Dallas.

A pair of new exhibitions, All the World’s a Stage and Performance/Art, serve as welcome-to-the-neighborhood parties for the museum’s new Arts District neighbors.

North Texas is littered with the remains of dead dance companies. Ballets, modern troupes, solo choreographers: It's often seemed like a mass extinction happened here the past 20 years. So Wil McKnight's new Texas Dance Theatre is a risk. It's even riskier — and notable — for its impressive ambitions. Next week, TDT begins its first full season of 14 works — with nearly half of them world premieres.

When the leaves on the trees die, that's when the arts come back to life. If you've checked the Art&Seek calendar lately, you've noticed that we've added hundreds of events coming up over the next few months as organizations large and small announce their seasons. We've already begun writing down some dates in our calendars, and we thought we'd share with you some of the arts events this season that we're definitely not going to miss.

Seven weeks and 68 teens, one gallery exhibition and a musical theater show. Add it up, and you have a national award-winning program that tries to impart life skills to kids in trouble. The Creative Solutions summer camp finds juvenile probation officers working with Big Thought, the creative learning organization. Jerome Weeks reports on this year's program at Southern Methodist University.

In the Saturday Spotlight, we're attending the 6th Annual Modern Dance Festival in Fort Worth.

The 2006 Broadway revival of A Chorus Line has now come to the Dallas Summer Musicals. A recent documentary, Every Little Step, follows the auditions for that revival while recounting how the original 1975 show about Broadway's "gypsy" dancers was created. Jerome Weeks talks to Michael Serrecchia, a North Texas actor-director-teacher who made the cut for that first Broadway show.
