DANCE

Performances Postponed: Tonight’s and Friday’s Wiltern Theatre performances by the Montreal-based dance company La La La Human Steps have been postponed until early December due to an injury to lead dancer Louise Lecavalier during a chiropractic manipulation. A spokeswoman for the company said new dates for performances at the theater will be announced shortly; tickets will be honored for the later performances. Information: (213) 380-5005.

TELEVISION

HBO Nabs Madonna’s Show: If you have HBO and didn’t get a chance to see Madonna during her brief stops in the United States, tune in Nov. 20 for a live broadcast of her “Girlie Show” from Sydney, Australia. Make sure you set that VCR correctly, though--HBO says this will be a one-time-only broadcast.

‘Harts,’ IATSE Agree: The “Harts of the West” strike is over--for now. After a weeklong “cooling-off period,” the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees and Kushner-Locke/Acme Prods., the show’s producers, will get together to try to reach an agreement. But the situation could potentially continue: Part of the agreement says that the union may resume its strike if a settlement is not reached after 10 days of bargaining. IATSE has been picketing the “Harts” shooting location in Canyon Country for six weeks.

Live, From Cuba: CBS News’ Giselle Fernandez will report live from Cuba next week on “CBS This Morning.” Fernandez will focus on changes under way in Castro’s communist state, which is seeing creeping capitalism with incoming foreign investments.

MOVIES

An Auction Before Christmas: Animation cels are popular collector’s items, but now Sotheby’s will give collectors a chance to own a different kind of animation memorabilia: some of the sets and characters from Tim Burton’s “A Nightmare Before Christmas.” More than 20 original sets and modeled characters used in the film will be sold, including Jack Skellington, Sally and Lock, Shock and Barrel. The items will be sold Dec. 16 as part of Sotheby’s Animation Art auction.

MPAA Plans Film Labeling: In an effort to ward off legislation, the Motion Picture Assn. of America announced that its members will voluntarily label films on TV and the home video market that have been colorized or otherwise materially altered. The Directors Guild of America, the Writers Guild of America and the American Society of Cinematographers have been lobbying heavily for a federal law requiring a similar, though more comprehensive, labeling.

Remake Planned: Director Chris Columbus closed a deal to write, direct and executive-produce a remake of one of Vincent Price’s most famous starring vehicles, “Theatre of Blood.” Coincidentally, the agreement was made on Monday, the day Price died.

Woody Allen Cleared Again: The state of New York dropped its child molestation investigation of Woody Allen and called the charges against him “unfounded” in a letter to Allen dated Oct. 7. Earlier, the state of Connecticut had dropped its investigation after a study group at Yale-New Haven Hospital concluded Allen had not abused his adopted daughter Dylan, although Frank Maco, the state attorney of Litchfield County, said he believed abuse had occurred. But Maco said he lacked any evidence. Allen’s lawyer, Elkan Abramowitz, has filed complaints against Maco with the Connecticut Bar Assn. and the state’s Criminal Justice commission for his remarks.
