Broken Legs to Optimist Theatre's Shakespeare in the Park

6/21/2012

Optimist Theatre's FREE Shakespeare in the Park opens this year's production, Macbeth, tonight on the campus of Alverno College.

I'm sending out lots of energy to friends and acquaintances who are involved with the show, both on-stage and behind-the-scenes. It takes so many people to bring a project like this to the audience. And it comes to you FREE!

Reserved seats have all been reserved, but I understand that many walk-ins are able to get seats, and there is lawn seating.

Follow the link above for all the details. The show runs this weekend and next, Thursday-Sunday at 8 pm each night.

Antique postcard of children dancing ~ Gathering Peascods

I’ve recently had the opportunity to teach Antique and Heritage Dances to several groups of 6–11-year-olds as part of the City of Evanston Arts Camp on the theme of Inheritance where we were Discovering Dance History.

It was loads of fun for me, and I’m pretty sure the kids enjoyed it, too! They certainly learned the dances, including “Gathering Peascods” and “Strip the Willow” with enthusiasm. All the groups learned one in common, and then dances of different social classes and periods by group.

The range of activities offered a the Noyes Cultural Arts Center are well worth investigating if you live within proximity. You need not be a resident of Evanston to enroll; check them out and support the terrific work they are doing with kids of all ages (adults included!).
