The fall arts season is usually when we rescue our brains from summer atrophy and stimulate our creative and intellectual juices. But this is no ordinary year. It feels like the Bay Area, and all the arts world, has been in hyper-drive as America comes to grip with a new and troubling political/social landscape. Performers and productions throughout the Bay Area have taken aim at the political turmoil and the racial strife, social inequality and general tumult that has defined the American experience. Even works not even directly aimed at current politics (say, Shakespeare’s tragedies) are taking on a new relevance.

This fall, arts fans can find more of the same or a whimsical diversion, as the Bay Area serves up another riveting array of dance, theater, music and exhibitions, And as I always find myself saying this time of year, we are truly blessed to live ballet on pointe, dance wall art, dancer feet drawing, pointe shoe painting, ballet art, illustrations prints, black and white a in an area so rich in arts and cultural offerings, The theater world is abuzz with the return of one-of-a-kind performer Taylor Mac, who’s bringing his epic look at music history to the Curran Theatre, We can also look forward to a brand new jukebox musical focusing on The Temptations as well as a stage adaptation of the beloved film “An American in Paris” (sigh!)..

A guide to the top of the fall theater season is here. In dance, some Bay Area companies this fall are taking the sociopolitical landscape head-on, delivering works and projects that tackle everything from homelessness to immigration to body image. But dance fans will also be able see former New York City Ballet star Wendy Whelan and catch the high-energy whimsy of the annual San Francisco Trolley Dances. Here’s a look at the best of the new dance season. In classical music, the big news is Berkeley composer John Adams’ new opera, “Girls of the Golden West,” drawn from the writings of Frederick Douglass, Mark Twain and “Dame Shirley.” The production is getting its world premiere by San Francisco Opera in November. Meanwhile, Philharmonia Baroque is performing a work devoted to Judas (yes, THAT Judas).

Our guide to the best of the new classical season is here, The popular music landscape is notable this year for one beloved annual tradition that will NOT be with us — the Bridge School Benefit, which was canceled this year as organizer and host Neil Young announced he is cutting ballet on pointe, dance wall art, dancer feet drawing, pointe shoe painting, ballet art, illustrations prints, black and white a most ties with the event, Its future remains uncertain, But several worthy events will be back, including the Monterey Jazz Festival Sept, 15-17, which boasts another jaw-dropping lineup, And what does it say about the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival in Golden Gate Park in October that we can call it one of the fall’s highlights even before we know the lineup? Yes, the event is THAT wonderful, Oh, and Katy Perry, with her reputation perhaps a little roughed up these days is bringing her tour to the Bay Area, Let’s hope she blows us all away..

A full roundup of the fall concert highlights is here. And Bay Area museums are delivering a nifty blend of iconic American images and glimpses at cultures from around the world and throughout history. SFMOMA is hosting a huge exhibit featuring the historic photographs of the legendary Walker Evans. Also on tap are exhibits focusing on ancient Mexico and China as well as a big look at Korean culture. And the San Jose Museum of Art takes a provocative look at the selfie craze.
