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>ml>.
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).

*Screening of Bright Star, February 24th, 7pm, GSL*

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 (

*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:

*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.
