The Henry Hicks Gallery is walking that thin line right now, with a new group show celebrating a grant from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, which will give the gallery the last boost into the bold financial black. Sixteen of the gallery%u2019s members will roll out their works for the full month of December in a pastiche of abstracts, figuratives, pattern painting, acrylic, watercolors, pastels, graphics, and sculpture, celebrating the past the keeping an eye out for what's up ahead.The Henry Hicks Gallery will run a group show, December7-30. Fridays, 3-6pm, weekends, noon-6pm at 93 AtlanticAvenue.

Both groups managed to leave the audience stunned and breathless.Gene Hill Sagan's choreography for %u201c La Valse%u201d is grandiose in keeping with the music by Sibelius and Ravel to in which it is danced. Debora Chase, Deborah Manning and David St. Charles exemplify the exuberant spirit and technical expertise of this young company. Pennsylvania%u2019s contribution to the modern dance world strikes a triumphant note in a season more remarkable for its quantity than for its quality.The capoeira, a Brazilian martial art disguised as a dance, was developed by Angolan slaves. Today it is a popular Brazilian art/sport. Jelom Vieira%u2019s choreographed %u201c Capoeira%u201d combines the best of dance, acrobatics, and gymnastics in a graceful flow of movement. Timothy Moe and partner demonstrated the skill required in executing a series of lightning fast turns punctuated with deadly kicks.C h r i s t m a s B a z z a a rPark Slope Methodist Church6th Ave. & 8th St.Sat., Dec. 8 -1 0 A.M . - 4 P.M .--------------H andm ade-----------------Hats%u00bbMittens%u00bbClothing%u00abGiftsQrnaments%u00abBaked Goods and JelliesPlants-White ElephantsBreakfast & Lunch Available(Aconcert artists guildTHE HEIGHTS PLAYERS INCPresentsT h e a tre for C h ild re n2 6 W illo w P la c eTHE SNOW QUEENDirected by Gloria CohenDec. 8-9,15-16,22-23 at 2 p.m. admission: $1.50 children $2.00 adults For reservations call 237-2752M n rin 9.
