“Harvey Lichtenstein, chairman of the Brooklyn Academy’s Local Development Corporation, is overseeing a 10-year, $560 million plan to create a cultural district in Brooklyn near the academy, and Twyla Tharp is the first major artist to move into the community. One recent evening Mr. Lichtenstein, who was the head of BAM for 32 years, and Ms. Tharp, one of the most talked about choreographers working today, met at her Upper West Side apartment to discuss her coming season at the Joyce Theater in Manhattan and her hopes for the new space in Brooklyn.” The New York Times (one-time registration required for access)
