Start Time(s): 8 pm

Craig Bickhardt's new CD Brother To The Wind contains some of the best work he has done in a long career dedicated to ennobling the art of song Bickhardt's songs have been recorded by over 100 artists including luminaries such as Johnny Cash, BB King, Allison Krauss, Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, Janis Ian and Art Garfunkle For this project, Bickhardt dug deep into his 800-tune catalog These songs are highly artistic, and throughout his extraordinary career he has picked up many believers among the better artists of his generation Fontaine Cooley is original acoustic instrumental music fusing jazz, funk, blues, country, bluegrass and an occasional latin groove What started as a casual conversation between two old musical friends, grew into the rekindling of their passion for playing music together The instrumentation, acoustic guitar, mandolin, bass and drums, might lead one to expect a certain type of music, perhaps country or even bluegrass But while elements of those genres are evident, there are also liberal doses of jazz, funk, blues and Latin, all of which fuse into a style and sound that is uniquely Fontaine Cooley Each song is a small journey, and just when it seems the route is identified, an unexpected turn, a surprising detour occurs

Misadventures In Stereo, the third album by widely lauded singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Jim Boggia, is unmistakably the work of a true believer and pop craftsman who’s closely acquainted with music’s capacity for transcendent uplift His songs get the balance right between devastating beauty and sadness, and the big fat joke that is life Born blind in one eye and with limited vision in the other, Boggia grew up an only child with an acutely developed ear for music Blackberry selected one of his tracks for a new ad campaign and his songs have also been featured on MTV’s Real World and ABC-TV’s Men In Trees He’s developed a loyal grass-roots fan base for his dynamic, improvisational live shows His work has been embraced by numerous fellow artists and kindred spirits, many of who have lent their talents to Boggia’s albums

If you've seen Jane Austen movies, then you've seen English Country Dancing Some dances are elegant, some rowdy, some romantic, some playful Each dance has its own tune Often the first thing that attracts people to English dancing is the splendid live music This is social, community dancing Dancers take a different partner for each dance of the evening, and join a "set" of couples One of the pleasures of this kind of dancing is that you interact with everyone in the room Dancers are encouraged to be attentive to each other as well as to the dance patterns New people are welcome any time Arrive at 7:30 for a brief orientation to basic dance figures at the beginning of any Wednesday night dance You don't need to bring a partner Wear loose, comfortable clothes, and flat shoes that won't skid or stick on a wood floor If you can walk you can dance!

“Movement Lab’s” goal is to serve as a vehicle for dancers and movers to evaluate muscular/structural potential and limits Through this exploration, we will find ways to move more freely and expressively The Lab is focused on finding cognitive playfulness in a movement practice, which in turn allows us to be more dexterous and agile This class is designed to activate our intellectual curiosity, imagination, and creativity A self-exploratory and self-explanatory approach is the central component to this class There will be a set of exercises that will be taught each week The importance in this class is not about repeating the choreography with precision The choreography exercises simply provide structure for which we can practice moving and gather new information for ourselves and our body as we consciously move We will be working with following themes this Spring - Arrivals and departures / creating dance with transitions - Clarity and precision - Balance and weight shifts - Expansion and contraction of space and time - Choices/visualization

happens all around you You can participate by talking
and dancing with the family members who are all
actors or you can sit back and watch your friends and
