Dance12 Things to Do CardThis Week By N i c k S c h r o e d e r

1. PLOT YOUR OWN ARC

The pop-drenched Providence indie band ARC IRIS was born when Jocie Adams splintered from neo-folk abstractionists The Low Anthem in 2012. A trio Adams fronts, Arc Iris have a far fuller sound than their trim personnel may suggest. Their 2018 album Icon of Ego is a danceable, often ecstatic sort of indie chamber-rock full of odd timbres and rhythms, as though Joanna Newsom were to front the Dirty Projectors. They’re a thrill at One Longfellow Square, with an opening set from Portland dream-pop duet act ARMIES. | Dec 28 | Fri 8 pm | One Longfellow Square, 181 State St, Portland | $15

4. STILL IN LOVE WITH U

Where were you when you first heard THE GET UP KIDS’ Four Minute Mile? The year was 1997, so this writer was likely either working at the record store near the mall, driving behind the wheel of his Pontiac Bonneville, or waiting for his family computer’s dial- up modem to connect to the internet so he could update his Firefly account. Like him, countless disaffected punk kids across the country paid attention to the landmark, upbeat, kinda syrupy emo-punk debut from this Kansas City act. Now dads and far less drenched in youthful ennui, the Get Up Kids are still somewhat at it, popping out evolved and quite listenable updates on the upbeat Midwestern rock they rallied around two decades ago. They play with Brooklyn-based disciples ACTIVE BIRD COMMUNITY and Chicago’s party-punk band RETIREMENT PARTY. | Dec 29 | Sat 8 pm | 3S Artspace, 619 Vaughan St, Portsmouth, NH | $23-26

Featuring a 1970s kitchen set that doubles as an installation, actors will perform the show in the front win- dows of the Annex, for audiences both inside and out. More fun for actors comes with Dramatic Rep’s next show, Fabuloso (March 8-17) by John Kolvenbach. It’s about two couples, one “ordinary” and the other kooky — but why give only two actors the fun of playing crazy? DRC’s production has them (Peter Brown and Christopher Holt) trading roles on alternate productions throughout the run. Later in the season brings Annie Baker’s acclaimed The Flick (May 31-June 9), about three lonely people working in one of the last film movie theaters, a relic of a dying medium. It’s an ungulate that’s dying in Mad Horse’s black comedy Deer (January 10-27). Later, the company brings Aaron Posner’s riff on Uncle Vanya, aptly called Life Sucks. (March 14-31) — and, in the spring, a comic strip artist contending with grief in Olivia Dufault’s The Tomb of King Tot (May 9-26).
