★ PILOBOLUS (Tonight, tomorrow, and Monday through Thursday) The company is presenting three programs of dance that offer something of a retrospective. Program 2 (tonight, tomorrow night and Monday), for instance, includes "Walklyndon," which epitomizes the company's early humor, simplicity and inventive gymnastic dance.

Correction: August 9, 2007

A dance entry in the Listings pages of Weekend on Friday about the exhibition "Invention: Merce Cunningham & Collaborators," at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, included outdated information about when the library is open. (The error also appeared on the previous three Fridays.) It is now open on Mondays, as well as Tuesday through Saturday. The hours are noon to 8 p.m. on Monday and Thursday; 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday (not noon to 6 p.m.) ; and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday (not noon to 6 p.m.).
