Dudley Arts February Events
*Screening of Disney’s Tangled, February 1st, 8pm, GSL*
Kicking off the Fabulous Fellows February Film Series, Dudley Arts presents
a screening of *Tangled* <http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0398286/>(2010), a
new animated classic loosely based on the Grimm fairy tale “Rapunzel.”
Enjoy the film and stay if desired for a discussion of this story’s place
in popular culture and new techniques in animation. Dudley House members
and their guests are welcome to attend. Contact Cherie Ramirez with
questions (cramirez(a)fas.harvard.edu).
*Miracle Fruit Tasting, February 2nd, 5pm (JBM Student Lounge, Longwood) &
February 7th, 7pm (Private Dining Room, Dudley House*)
Join HWISE and Dudley Food Literacy and Arts Fellows for an unusual
culinary and inspirational experience. Get ready to experience the joys of
eating delicious lemons and other sour or bitter foods! We promise they
will all taste magically delicious after miraculin goes to work. Found in
miracle fruit berries, the active glycoprotein miraculin binds to the
tongue's taste buds causing bitter and sour foods to taste sweet for
approximately one hour after consumption. For more information, please
refer to Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synsepalum_dulcificum>or
this special feature in the New York
Times<http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/28/dining/28flavor.html>.
RSVP is required; Due to limited space, you will be notified if your RSVP
request can be confirmed. Dudley House members and their guests are
welcome. Please contact Cherie Ramirez with questions (
cramirez(a)fas.harvard.edu).

*Landscape Photography and Poetry Exhibit in the Gato Rojo, Opening Feb. 3rd
*
Dudley Arts is now accepting submissions for an interdisciplinary landscape
photography and poetry exhibit! Photographs and digital paintings which
involve landscape are welcome. The exhibit will pair photographs with poems
that will be in dialogue with the visual art. The art opening and
reception will be on Friday, Feb. 3rd at 6:30pm in the Gato Rojo. Please
submit your work electronically to Ivanna Yi (iyi(a)fas.harvard.edu).
*Dudley Art Class, Watercolors, beginning Feb. 4th*
The third session of the Dudley arts class will focus on watercolors. The
10-week session will meet on Saturdays, 2-4pm in the Dudley Private Dining
Room beginning on Feb.4. The course is currently full.
*Screening of Bright Star, February 24th, 7pm, GSL*
As part of the Fabulous Fellows February Film Series, Dudley Arts presents
a screening of *Bright Star* (2009), a biopic based on the last three years
of the life of poet John Keats and his relationship with Fanny Brawne.
Starring Ben Whishaw as Keats and Abbie Cornish as Fannie and directed by
Jane Campion, the film depicts Fanny as both artist and muse. Join us for
adventures in poetry and haute couture! Contact Ivanna Yi (
iyi(a)fas.harvard.edu).
*ARTS FILM SCREENING*
*Woody Allen’s “Manhattan Murder Mystery” (1993)*
*February 17th, 7-9pm*
*Graduate Student Lounge*
* *
Join us on what will be an undoubtedly cold Friday evening, February 17th,
for the next screening in the February Fabulous Fellows’ Film Festival:
“Manhattan Murder Mystery,” one of Woody Allen’s best 90s New York
films,* *co-starring
the lovely Diane Keaton. This charming screenplay makes great good fun of
the detective genre film while delighting in toying with its most*
*entertaining
conventions. When Larry and Carol discover that their next-door neighbor
is, in all appearances, a murderer--and guilty, no less, of doing in his
own wife--much hilarity ensues. Brought to you by the Dudley Arts Fellows.
Open to Dudley House members and their guests. Contact Thomas Wisniewski:
twisniew(a)fas.harvard.edu.

*Argentine Tango Lessons*
*Intermediate ten-week progressive series*
*Time and place: TBD*
* *
What better way to stave off the winter chill than in the warmth of the
tango embrace?
An intermediate social dance class, to begin in early February and end
mid-April, is open to Dudley House members and their guests. Welcome are
those with prior experience in Argentine tango and/or those who have taken
tango lessons at Harvard past semesters. Material is progressive, requires
weekly attendance, and will build on dancers’ previous knowledge of
close-embrace Buenos Aires style. Topics to include leaders’ and followers’
technique; paradas; sacadas; cross and parallel systems; intro to milonga;
turns; and floorcraft.
Unless* *preferred, there is no need to register with a partner; partners
will rotate throughout the class. Students will be trained to dance
socially and will be encouraged to explore the many practicas and milongas
of Cambridge and Boston. Cost of the ten-week series is $50; spots are
limited. Pre-registration will open the morning of January 23rd in the
Dudley House office located on the third floor of Lehman Hall. Brought to
you by the Dudley Arts Fellows. Contact Thomas Wisniewski:
twisniew(a)fas.harvard.edu.

*Dudley Arts Chamber Music Initiative*
*Call for Musicians!*
After an auspicious debut at the Lily Pad this past fall, the Dudley Arts
Chamber Music Initiative will continue throughout the spring semester. Its
ongoing mission is to connect GSAS musicians with professionals throughout
the Boston/Cambridge area for interesting collaborations at unusual venues.
If you’re interested in performing on the spring concert and have a chamber
group already formed, or if you are looking for fellow musicians to form an
ensemble, then write this month to Thomas Wisniewski at
twisniew(a)fas.harvard.edu. The spring concert will be held in April at a
venue TBD; rehearsals, individually arranged, will begin in late January
and will run throughout winter and spring.
Hello Dudley Art enthusiasts,
Thanks to many of you for your interest in the Dudley Art class. The class
is currently full. Other local places to look for art classes are the
Cambridge Center for Adult Education and the courses at the Museum of Fine
Arts, Boston. I warmly invite you to some of Dudley Arts' upcoming events:

Dear Dudley art enthusiasts,
I hope this note finds you well at the beginning of term! Just a reminder
that registration for the spring session of the Dudley Art class begins
tomorrow at 9am in the Dudley House office. Joy, the art instructor, and I
are excited to offer a course on watercolors, which is a new medium for
Dudley Arts. The course will meet on Saturdays, from 2-4pm in the private
dining room of Dudley House. The series will begin on Saturday, February
4th (2-4pm), and the following dates are: 2.11, (no class on 2.18 due to
the President's Day holiday on Monday), 2.25, 3.3, (no classes 3. 10 and 3.
17 due to spring break), 3.24, 3.31, 4.7, 4.14, 4.21, and 4.28. Class size
will be limited to 15 students so that there will be time for individual
instruction. The subsidized cost for the 10-week session will be $40, which
is due at the time of registration. Due to spaces filled from participants
who were on the waiting list, we currently only have four spaces available
for the class. For more information, please visit
