Acclaimed choreographer/dancer Karen Goodman’s latest work,
“Close Dancing,” is a dancer’s perspective of dance itself. The audience will share the stage with Goodman as she performs her stories of dance and its sometimes unlikely appearance in our lives. From the marketing of jeans to ancient Hebrew celebrations of the new moon to Olympic competition, Goodman’s modern pieces reflect on how dance may be more a part of our lives than we often notice. 3 p.m. $20 (general admission); $12 (students and seniors). Luckman Fine Arts Complex, Cal State L.A. For more information or tickets, call (323) 343-6600.

Long known for their Jewish philanthropy, the Rothschilds also put their international banking fortune to use amassing an exquisite art collection. Of particular note was the collection of decorative arts which filled the rooms of the family’s English home, Mentmore Towers. Much of the collection gathered by Baron Meyer de Rothschild, largely rare and finely crafted silver, remains with Lord and Lady Rosebery, descendants of the family. Tonight, the Countess of Rosebery presents a lecture on that decorative art, “A Quart of Cream in a Pint Pot: The Collection of the English Rothschilds”. 7 p.m. Bing Theater, LACMA, 5905 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles. $15. For tickets or more information, call (323) 857-6528.

Tues.-Sat., 11 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Robert Berman Gallery at Bergamot Station Art Center, 2525 Michigan Ave., Santa Monica. For more information, call (310) 315-1937.
