Since then, Fenley has returned to working quietly on new material, building on her nearly 50 years of making dances as the founder of Molissa Fenley and Company. Opening night, on Wednesday, felt like a private glimpse into her choreographic mind: no splashes, just a steady, rigorous exploration of movement to music. The program’s greatest force is Fenley herself, who, at 69, dances with a searing clarity and equanimity, no matter the limitations that naturally come with age. This is not one of those shows in which a veteran artist makes a cameo to be momentarily revered. The recurring themes are the lines and curves of Fenley’s limpid movement vocabulary, based in ballet and reminiscent of the Merce Cunningham technique, but developed, as she has said, around the idiosyncrasies of her own body.

A Manhattan jury found Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll on Tuesday. After deliberating for 2 1/2 hours, a Manhattan jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse against Carroll in an incident that took place in the 1990s in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room. The jury did not find Trump liable for rape, which was an option. "There wasn't even a 'he said,' because Donald Trump never even looked you in the eye and said she was a liar," he said. Donald Trump, on the other hand, failed to even show up in court."
A Manhattan jury found Donald Trump liable for the sexual abuse of E. Jean Carroll. "They're trying to take parts of Donald Trump you dislike and stretch it over Ms. Carroll's story," Tacopina said. Carroll's lawyers, for their part, said their willingness to bring the case to court only made them more believable. "There wasn't even a 'he said,' because Donald Trump never even looked you in the eye and said she was a liar," Ferrara said. "You heard from Donald Trump himself — this is just how he treats women," Ferrara said.
Carroll receiving a monetary award from this trial hinged on whether the jury unanimously believed her claims against Trump. “For E. Jean Carroll this lawsuit is not about the money,” attorney Roberta Kaplan said during closing arguments on Monday. Trump appears the most agitated on the video when he denies Carroll’s rape allegation. Two friends that Carroll testified she told soon after the alleged rape testified about their recollection of Carroll’s account in 1996. Tacopina in his closing argument Monday also accused Carroll of fabricating her rape allegations to sell her book.
By the time he won an acquittal in a high-profile, 2011 Manhattan criminal trial, Tacopina had attacked what he called her "functional tolerance" for alcohol. She remembered in graphic detail being immobilized in her bed — too drunk to resist — as she was allegedly raped, she told jurors. "She called him a rapist," Tacopina told the jury in openings Monday. "I can dance backwards and forwards in four-inch heels," she told Tacopina when he questioned her dressing-room balancing act. "It caused me to realize that staying silent does not work," she told Tacopina of the courage she saw in that #MeToo wave.
