upcoming Arts events: Argentine tango and film screening!

by Thomas Wisniewski

Dear Arts enthusiasts, Two reminders about upcoming events at Dudley House: 1. Have you ever considered learning what Martha Graham once called the fabulous dance of the past one hundred years and the most beautiful? Now’s your chance! Registration for the spring semester series of Argentine tango lessons (absolute beginner and intermediate) opens tomorrow morning at Dudley House. This eight-week series will run from February 20th - April 17th, Wednesday evenings, at the Northwest Labs Café. 7-8pm beginner; 8-8:30pm guided práctica for both levels; 8:30-9:30pm intermediate. See attached PDF for more details. Questions? Email: dudleyhouse.arts(a)gmail.com 2. RSVP for an upcoming Arts Film Screening. Join us on a cold February evening for a charming 2005 French film by Stéphane Brizé. Delicious refreshments will be served. Please write to to dudleyhouse.arts(a)gmail.com if you plan on attending so that we have an idea of how much food and drink to buy. “Je ne suis pas là pour être aimé” (Not Here to Be Loved”) Fellows Fabulous February Film Festival Friday, February 22nd, 7pm Graduate Student Lounge “Jean-Claude is fifty-one and weary. Since his divorce, he has been leading a lonely, cheerless life. His job does not help him. Indeed, as a "huissier de justice," his everyday task consists in bringing despair into the homes of those who can't pay their rent, announcing eviction and/or property seizure. His depressing Sunday afternoons are invariably spent in the retirement home of his old father, a sour, never-satisfied pain in the neck. A glimmer of hope comes from the dance studio across his office. One day, Jean-Claude decides to enroll; there, he meets the charming Françoise. The only trouble is that she’s about to get married.” –imdb.com

Dear Dudley Arts Enthusiasts, Join us for one (or both) of the following art workshops and classes we're offering this term at Dudley House: *Chinese Calligraphy & Painting Workshop* Saturday, March 2, 2:30 – 4:30 pm Dudley House Common Room Instructor: Wen-hao Tien In addition to their meaning, Chinese characters possess aesthetic qualities and appeal to the psyche. As such, Chinese calligraphy and painting materials are often a source of inspiration to artists in both the East and West. In this workshop, we will review traditional and contemporary Chinese calligraphy and practice these energetic strokes. It is said that Chinese calligraphy is a "performing art". We will experience this unique quality by trying out various calligraphy styles. We will also practice selected subjects in traditional Chinese painting as it is branched out from the same principle. No painting experience or understanding of Chinese is required. Registration: $12 due by Feb 28 at the Dudley House Office (3rd floor, Lehman Hall). All materials are included in the fee. Class size is limited to 15. --- *Watercolor Painting: Colors & Textures* Saturdays, March 9, 16, 23, and April 6, 13, from 10:30 am - 1 pm.
