Today
“Rebels and Innovators” performance: 2 p.m., Dairy Arts Center, 2590 Walnut St., Boulder. Innovation doesn’t happen by playing it safe. “Rebels and Innovators” dives into the fearless spirit of creation, where breaking rules and challenging norms isn’t just encouraged, it’s essential. This dynamic program features bold, boundary-pushing works by renowned choreographers Amy Seiwert and Stephanie Martinez, alongside rising voices Ching Ching Wong and Ben Needham-Wood — their mentees and creative protégés. Through the power of mentorship and the rebellious drive to redefine tradition, these artists prove that to be an innovator, you have to think differently, take risks and leap beyond the expected. $25-$50, 303-443-0028, boulderballet.org.
Collage Collective at NoBo on the Corner: noon, NoBo on the Corner, 4600 Broadway, Boulder. The Collage Collective is a relaxed, collaborative gathering space for creativity and connection, centered around paper collage making. It’s open and accessible to everyone. This event is free and supplies are included. Registration required. Free, noboartdistrict.org.
Upcoming
International Women’s Day celebration: 10 a.m. Sunday, The New Local, 741 Pearl St., Boulder. Celebrate in creative community with free art activities for all ages.
“Oklahoma!” performance: 2 p.m. Sunday, Macky Auditorium Concert Hall, 1595 Pleasant St., Boulder. In a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colorful background for Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl, to play out their love story. Their romantic journey, as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, contrasts with the comic exploits of brazen Ado Annie and hapless Will Parker in a musical adventure embracing hope, determination and the promise of a new land. $18, 303-492-8008, eventvesta.com.
Teen Athletes discussion panel: 2 p.m. Sunday, George Reynolds Branch, 3595 Table Mesa Drive, Boulder.

“The Misfits” film screening: 7 p.m. Monday, Dairy Arts Center, 2590 Walnut St., Boulder. What can be better than a screenplay by Arthur Miller for a John Huston film starring Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable and Montgomery Clift? With relatable characters that might be on the losing end of life, whether by circumstance or personal flaws, audiences are carried away by their dogged hopefulness and humanity. This would be the last film that either Gable or Monroe worked on. $7-$14, thedairy.org.

Micky & the Motorcars concert: 7 p.m. Wednesday, The Velvet Elk Lounge, 2037 13th St., Boulder. Twenty years can put a hell of a lot of wear and tear on even the hardiest of rock ’n’ roll bands. But don’t be fooled by all those hundreds of thousands of miles on Micky & the Motorcars’ odometer. Two brothers and founding members Micky Braun (lead vocals and guitar) and Gary Braun (guitar, mandolin, harmonica, and vocals) have been invigorated and supercharged by a transfusion of new blood from fresh recruits Pablo Trujillo (lead guitar/pedal steel), Bill Corbin (bass) and Bobby Paugh (drums). bandsintown.com.
