Jasmin Vardimon Co. (Friday through Sunday) Publicity materials for Ms. Vardimon’s “Freedom” issue a warning: the production contains volatile contents, including “tube jungles, Led Zeppelin, rinse cycles, balloons,” and “a swan with an altitude problem.” On her company’s first visit to the East Coast (and only its second to the United States), the British choreographer and her adventurous dancers offer this raucous multimedia mash-up, which claims to be “taking the rule book and throwing it through the window.” Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 8 p.m., Sunday at 3 p.m., Alexander Kasser Theater, Montclair State University, 1 Normal Avenue, Montclair, (973) 655-5112; $15.

★ Works & Process (Sunday and Monday) The only problem with the lively Works & Process series at the Guggenheim is that it tends to sell out to subscribers before the general public ever hears about its events. But all credit to the Works & Process organizers, who have seized on the possibilities of live-streaming with alacrity. It is my happy duty to report that although there are no more tickets for the two live programs of “American Ballet Theater — The Versatile Dancer,” you can watch the event on Sunday, and hear (perhaps) answers to the question, “What makes an ABT dancer?” The event is moderated by John Meehan, who used to direct Ballet Theater’s studio company, and who will chat with (unnamed) artistic staff and dancers between excerpts from various pieces. These include a mouthwatering assortment: Mark Morris’s “Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes,” Antony Tudor’s “Leaves Are Fading,” Bournonville’s “Flower Festival in Genzano,” Frederick Ashton’s “Month in the Country,” Ratmansky’s “Carnival of the Animals” and more. And then there are the dancers: Isabella Boylston, Stella Abrera, Sascha Radetsky, Hee Seo, Alexandre Hammoudi, among others. You can see the whole marvelous lot at 7:30 on Sunday at ustream.tv/worksandprocess. At 7:30 p.m., 1071 Fifth Avenue, at 89th Street, (212) 423-3587; sold out. (Sulcas)
