MPR News Arts Reporter Marianne Combs joins Jade and Sean McPherson to talk about three happenings in the local art world.

Here's the rundown:

Radical Recess — This celebration of dance is a grass roots performance series designed to put dance in front of existing audiences in Minneapolis' downtown atriums and public parks and to encourage audiences of all backgrounds and ages to experience dance.

RoosevElvis — This new work at the Walker features Elvis Presley and Theodore Roosevelt battling over the soul of Ann, a painfully shy meat-processing plant worker, and what kind of man or woman Ann should become.

Joy of Japan — This family day at Mia features two special exhibitions featuring Japanese art from ancient to modern times.
