We'd like to invite any dancers to come along on a movement field trip . . . right here in Astoria. As part of the Astoria Music Festival, there is a program Wednesday night called "The Arts Collide, Reloaded" featuring new music, dance, and visual arts. This program presents cutting edge music and dance--definitely an exploration of movement, music, and spoken word combined with a visual arts component. So in place of class on Wednesday, June 24, we will meet at the PAC for the 7:30 concert. Those who wish to join in a potluck supper, please come to Elia's (2625 Irving Ave., green house on the south side of the road) at 6pm. Elia will have soup and green salad; bring whatever else you like. It's a moderate walk or short drive from Elia's to the PAC on 16th and Franklin. The concert costs $15 and tickets most likely will be available at the door, although they can be purchased in advance. Check the Festival website for more details.
Thursday class will take place as normal.
Now is also a good time to mention our summer schedule:
Wednesdays, 6:30 - 7:45pm Divas
Thursdays, 6:30 - 7:45pm Explorations
Sundays, 6:00 - 7:45pm Sanctuary
Note the time change for the Sanctuary class. The first half hour of the class will feature opportunity for meditation, writing, stretching--an individual coalescing of energies before we bring the intention at 6:30 with the opening circle. Bring your own yoga mat, meditation cushion, journal--whatever you like to help you deepen into your experience. The theme and music will be as before, with a spiritual focus and more down-tempo music. The perfect ending (or beginning) to a busy week.
