The Timeless Torches Are Dance Warriors. We Need Them.
'Be your best cheerleader!' Christy Tolbert, also known as Coach Christy, was urging the Timeless Torches to move with confidence. To complete shapes. To use their plié in a deeper way that would create the necessary momentum to spiral into a spin. 'It's never too late to feel like an Ailey dancer,' Tolbert said during a recent rehearsal at Ripley-Grier, a Midtown studio. 'Stop limiting yourself, telling yourself you can't do something.' A performance by the Timeless Torches, the dance team of the New York Liberty, is a shot of adrenaline, a burst of vitality. Some numbers lean funny; others are more fierce. All insist on the power of movement as the foundation for a full life. In a way, what these dancers offer is bigger than dancing. But dance is their expression, and dance they do. On a recent night at Barclays Center, the dancers — men and women, ages 40 and up — met center court. They stood still, their gazes down and hands held low in front of their bodies. The opening notes to Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' began to play. Separated into four groups, each responded to Lamar's lyrics — an aggressive leg spiral, a runway walk with rippling arms, a blast of fast footwork — before arriving, via a triplet march, into a wedge formation. Here they exploded as one, crossing their feet and hopping in place in crystalline unison. It was tremendous. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

From Rails to Trails Docu, Narrated by Edward Norton, Gets PBS Premiere Date and Trailer (Exclusive)
If you're a rail trail fan like I am, you'll want to park your bike on Wednesday, Oct. 15, and sidle on up to From Rails to Trails, a new documentary narrated by Edward Norton. Airing Wednesday, Oct. 15, on public television stations nationwide (check local listings) and streaming on From Rails to Trails chronicles the 60-year struggle — and transformative triumph — of one of America's most unlikely grassroots movements. More from TVLine PBS, NPR to Lose All Federal Funding as Congress Votes to Pass Rescissions Bill — 'This Is Big!' Cheers Trump Grantchester to End With Season 11 — Find Out When It Will Air Loot Season 3 Gets Fall Release Date - Plus, Watch New Teaser Get an exclusive first look at a trailer above. Trails whose origins are featured include the Illinois Prairie Path in suburban Chicago; the Burke-Gilman Trail in Seattle; the Atlanta Beltline; the West Rail Trail in Brownsville, Texas, which became one of the most bike- and pedestrian-friendly cities in the state; The High Line in New York City, built on an elevated railroad track from the 1930s; the Washington and Old Dominion Trail, which introduced the rail-trail movement to decision-makers in Congress; and The Great American Rail-Trail, which is halfway complete and aims to connect 3,700 miles of rail trails into a coast-to-coast route, from Washington, D.C., to Washington State. From Rails to Trails also visits Queens, N.Y., where government and nonprofit organizations are lobbying to turn abandoned LIRR tracks into a linear park à la The High Line — though opponents hope the city will use the tracks to restore train and subway service to the cut-off community Directed by Dan Protess (Up'N Running, 10 That Changed America), From Rails to Trails navigates the complex legal and political landscape that shaped the rail-trail movement, from property rights disputes to the landmark 'railbanking' legislation passed by Congress in 1983, which preserved abandoned rail corridors for future rail use while allowing them to be repurposed as trails. Interview subjects include former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, former Vermont Governor Howard Dean (who shares the story of how Burlington's Island Line Trail became the subject of a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case), former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson (whose father had a role in creating the 32-mile Elroy-Sparta Trail, often regarded as America's first successful rail-trail and famous for its three cavernous tunnels), and Rails-to-Trails Conservancy co-founder Peter Harnik, who's also an executive producer on the documentary. 'Having spent my career advocating for the rails-to-trails movement, I've seen firsthand how abandoned rail lines — once scars across the landscape — have become lifelines for communities,' says Harnik. 'From the unlikely launch of the movement to today's coast-to-coast vision, From Rails to Trails captures the grit, imagination and passion that made it all possible.' Adds director Dan Protess, 'I use my local rail-trail twice a day: for a morning run, and an after-dinner walk with family. Working on this program, I came to realize that the green space that is so integral to my life didn't just happen by accident — people had to fight hard to make it a reality.'
