Modern Dance (Ages 8--10)
Presented by Fleisher Art Memorial at Fleisher Art Memorial July 9-July 13, 2012 This class is an intro to modern dance. Modern dance encourages dancers to use their emotions and moods to design their own steps and routines. It is not unusual for modern dancers to invent new steps for their routines, instead of following a structured code of technique, as in ballet. Therefore, students will learn basic modern dance steps and combinations as well as create their own steps. The final result will be a short dance to music incorporating all the steps learned and created.

From Pen to Publisher: The Life of Three Sendak Picture Books
Presented by Rosenbach Museum and Library at Rosenbach Museum and Library January 25-July 15, 2012 This exhibit follows the lives of three picture books by Maurice Sendak—The Sign on Rosie’s Door (1960), Outside Over There (1981), and Brundibar (2003)—as they take three radically different paths from pen to publisher.
With dates spanning 43 years, these books reveal how Sendak pursued and preserved a core idea or character through his own artistic refinements and the ever-changing techniques and technologies of the publishing industry.
