    Contact Improvisation Class, Sunday February 5 @ 9 am  View Printable Version  
    Friday, February 03 2012 @ 08:47 PM GMT+5
    Contributed by: Anonymous

    SpiritualPutney continues to grow its dance community... and this Sunday morning, February 5th, we'll be sharing a third intro and workshop into the great exploratory dance form, Contact Improvisation. For those new to the form, CI isn't so much about learning the ..."moves"; as it is learning how -you- move, what your language of motion and connection is alone and with others. This weekend workshop is open to beginners and advanced practitioners alike: I'll lend some ideas and offer a few exercises to help us move toward "fluency and fluidity" in our dance, and we'll have some time to practice those new ideas with the other participants.

    Tai Chi Demonstration at the Co-op  View Printable Version  
    Friday, February 03 2012 @ 08:46 PM GMT+5
    Contributed by: SK-B

    SpiritualFrom my parking space opposite the Co-op entrance, I could see that a young mom was dealing with her toddler, who was refusing to move.

    When her mom tried to pick her up, the little girl's body arched and stiffened, and I could sense how impossible it would be to lift her. I thought of the Tai Chi Exercise in which the instructor tells the students to visualize their chi extending down from the ball of their foot, rooted clear to the earth's center, making it impossible for an opponent to uproot them. As a student, I never could convince myself that i had become impossible to uproot, but watching tonight I had no doubt that no adult would be able to uproot this three year old.

    Winter Songs: A Romantic Evening of Opera, Art Song & More  View Printable Version  
    Friday, February 03 2012 @ 03:58 PM GMT+5
    Contributed by: fomag

    MusicThe next event in Friends of Music at Guilford’s 46th annual season of concerts is Winter Songs, at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, February 11, in the sanctuary of Guilford Community Church. Featured performers are Julie Johnson Olsson, soprano, and Kenneth Olsson, known in the area for his work as both a pianist and an organist.

    This program of art songs and arias will warm the chill of winter and open our hearts for Cupid’s inspiration on Valentine’s Day. The repertoire is presented in three sections, beginning with two songs of longing by Satie, a torch song by Poulenc (composed for a favorite Parisian chanteuse), and a tango by Weill, as well as the aria “Il est doux, il est bon,” from Massenet’s opera Herodiade.

    Friday, February 03 2012 @ 01:12 PM GMT+5
    Contributed by: cgrotke

    Town NewsBrattleboro’s skatepark project will be a topic of conversation at the next regular meeting of the Brattleboro Selectboard. The board will be accepting a grant toward the design and building of the project as well as planning to fill vacancies left by resignations of both David Longsmith and Josh Steele from BASIC. the Town’s skatepark-building committee.

    The police will be getting funding for dispatch radios and “installing and getting power and internet feeds to the downtown cameras.” Patrick Moreland will propose projects for (and explain difficulties with) the Hazard Mitigation grant program, permits will be permitted, certificates will be certified, and much more.

    You can watch on BCTV (tv or streaming), or head to the Municipal Center on Main Street and attend in person. There’s even time for you to bring up things that aren’t otherwise on the agenda.

    Contributed by: Anonymous

    FoodCome and join a conversation on how to prepare for the gardening season, whether it is which seeds to buy and where or how to plan for more bounty. Following the discussion, we will walk to the Community garden and celebrate together this special time of year by blessing some seeds.

    Adrienne writes: "This is the time of the quickening. A time when the longer days bring up the sap and we begin to stir from a long winter's nap. It is during this time that our hearts and minds turn to dreaming the spring's planting. We will gather together to honor our sacred collaboration with nature with a seed blessing."
