080214-JamapaloozaIt’s time for dance in the Art City August schedule, after the new arts organization put the focus on music in the first weekend and film last weekend.

bullet-gray-smallSaturday brings a two-hour Outdoor Dance Museum, which organizers explain as being “like a sculpture park, but with dancers. They will explore the space. And maybe, if you’re game, you’ll become part of their art.” The event, co-presented with Calamity Co. Dance, includes work by Luminarium Dance Co. (from 5 to 6 p.m., seen below in a 2013 performance); Molly Hess and dancers (from 5:30-6 p.m.); Alicia Condon and dancers (from 6 to 6:10 p.m.); Carey McKinley and dancers (from 6 to 7 p.m.); and Terra Weaver and Kara Fili throughout the evening.

It takes place from 5 to 7 p.m. at Winthrop Park in Harvard Square, by Peet’s and Grendel’s Den.
