'SAVION GLOVER'S IMPROVOGRAPHY'

With most dancers, the fact that no publicity bulletins have been forthcoming and everyone's in the dark about plans for his three-week season would be reason enough to relegate this event to a corner of the dance listings. But Glover is the consummate tap artist of his era, almost single-handedly (now that Gregory Hines is gone) dragging this uniquely American art form into the 21st century. His shows are always rousers; his troupe, Ti Dii, includes some of the foremost tap dancers in the country. Take a gamble. ZIMMER

At 8, and December 17 through January 4, Joyce Theater, 175 Eighth Avenue, 212.242.0800

JOEL MEYEROWITZ

Following eight months of daily visits to the teeming pit at ground zero, Meyerowitz returned to familiar landscapes in Tuscany and made these lovely, peaceful pictures. Primarily landscapes of the timeless countryside in every season, the photos are suffused not just with the pale Italian light but with a palpable sense of relief and pleasure.
