"The Kick Butt Body Conditioning Workshop":
a special body conditioning workshop with Paula Wilson from NYC!
Farkas Hall Dance Studio (formerly the New College Theater)
Friday, May 4th, 5-7pm
$10 (per-registration open now!)
**Registration is now open for a very special workshop with visiting
professional dancer, Paula Wilson, from NYC. Spots are limited, so
sign up in the Dudley House office (third floor) as early as possible
to reserve a spot in this exciting workshop tailored for anyone who
wants to train the body in a series of easy-to-do exercises and
specifically designed to strengthen dancers' core muscles.**
Description and bio:
"The Kick Butt Body Conditioning Workshop"
Similar muscle groups are used for multiple partner dances. The more
control you have over them, the better you can dance. This 2-hour
workshop explores 17 easy-to-do exercises culled from Pilates,
Gyrotonics/Gyrokinesis, Yoga, Aerobics, Callanetics, and classical
dance that strengthen the muscle groups most important for dances such
as tango, swing, salsa, and zouk. It is also a great class for people
who simply want to vary their workout. No special equipment is
required and all exercises are easy on the knees and lower back. Wear
comfortable clothes that are easy to move in. To get the most out of
the workshop, please bring a tennis ball, a towel, a bottle of water,
a pencil, and a notebook.
Bio: Due to an injury as a child, Paula Wilson did not begin dancing
until she was 19. Two years later, she was accepted to a conservatory
program in New York. After completing the course, she danced
professionally for various stage, television, and music video
projects. She also fell in love with tango, swing, and zouk, and
began to form her own conditioning series in order to remain injury
free. She combined her experience as a trained dancer, her
understanding of adult beginner dancers, and her training in
rehabilitative movement, and traditional conditioning practices, into
the "Kick Butt Body Conditioning Workshop". She has taught all over
the world, including South Korea, Argentina, and the US, and loves
sharing her knowledge with other partner dancers.

Best wishes,
Thomas

*Sackler Gallery Talk on Friday, April 13*
Join us for a gallery talk on *Lyonel Feininger, Photographs: 1928-1939*,
an exhibition at the Harvard Art Museums of the photographic work of the
American-born modernist Lyonel Feininger (1871–1956). Although best known
as a painter, Feininger began experimenting with photography and a range of
avant-garde techniques while at the Bauhaus, creating works that explore
night imagery, negative printing, multiple exposures, and radical cropping.
The talk, organized for Dudley House members, will be led by Laura Muir,
Assistant Curator of the Busch-Reisinger Museum, Division of Modern and
Contemporary Art. We will meet at 2:45pm in the lobby of the Sackler
Museum. Space is limited; RSVP to Ivanna Yi (iyi(a)fas.harvard.edu).
*Outing to Emmanuel Music’s Performance of Mozart’s Opera La Clemenza di
Tito*
Saturday, April 14th, 8pm, preconcert talk at 7pm by John Harbison
Don’t miss your chance to hear Mozart’s last opera, *La Clemenza di Tito*,
which immediately followed his composition of *The Magic Flute*. The opera
brings a story of desperate intrigues, unrequited love, and heart-stopping
reversals of fortune taken directly from Roman history. Roman aristocrat
Vitellia plots the assassination of Tito, Emperor of Rome. Tito’s
forgiveness of his enemies catches all off guard, turning the opera’s theme
into one of clemency and redemption. Emmanuel Music will perform the opera
as a concert production. A limited number of $10 student tickets are now
available at the Dudley House office. Contact Ivanna Yi (iyi(a)fas.harvard.edu
).
