Minds in Motion II
March 12, April 2,
April 30, May 7, 2011
8:30AM to 5PM
Following on the heels of last spring’s highly successful offering, Minds In Motion, Arts|Learning is thrilled to be able to sponsor this course in a newly expanded, 3-credit offering over 4 Saturdays during March, April, and May, 2011, located at Walnut Hill School for the Arts in Natick, MA, and in collaboration with the Critical and Creative Thinking Program of the University of Massachusetts, Boston.
This exciting 3-credit course is designed for teachers interested in integrating the ARTS into academic curricula. It demonstrates how the ARTS (visual, performing, film-making, dance, theatre, etc.) are taught through CRITICAL and CREATIVE THINKING, and how thinking is enhanced through the ARTS. Registration is currently underway!
Minds in Motion II features a variety of hands-on and discussion-based activities. Teachers will stretch their minds, bodies, and senses to explore ways to promote students’ abilities to think critically and creatively through different domains of the arts, while making exciting discoveries about their own artistic interests and strengths in the process.
Instructors will include Nina Greenwald, UMass Boston; John Hooker, Bridgewater State University; David Martin, UMass Boston; and Elaine Sisler, Endicott College.
To register for this course, please click here. For more information, contact Nina Greenwald, or call 617-287-7900. Cost for the course, including 3 graduate credits and lunches for 3 of the 4 days is $139
For the past six years, The Gecko in Winter has been presenting readings of new works by award-winning Boston-area writers on the last Saturday nights of January, February and March in Harvard Square at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education.
Playwright and screenwriter Hortense Gerardo is the creator and moving force behind The Gecko in Winter. [Note: Hortense Gerardo, regional representative of Dramatists' Guild of America, was a presenter at the 2010 NETC convention.]
“I was inspired to start the Gecko after spending time in Scotland, where there was a reading series in Edinburgh called The Monday Night Lizard,” says Gerardo. “It is tremendously helpful for playwrights to hear their words brought to life in a staged reading — as well as hearing feedback afterwards from members of the audience about what worked and what didn’t.”
This year, the Gecko in Winter will feature new works by emerging writers in theatre, poetry, and film, including Scott Welty on January 29. On February 26, emerging poet Lee Aadahl, Jr. will read selections from his 2009 collection, I am… and his three-part epic poem entitled, Tale, published in 2010. On March 26 emerging playwright and filmmaker, Kate Tarker, will present her film versions of short screenplays written by the Lizard Claw Playwriting group, including works by Kathleen Akerly, Rich Espey, Hortense Gerardo, Callie Kimball, Stephanie Walker, as well as Kate Tarker.
The January 29th program will feature three new comedies by Scott Welty and Hortense Gerardo featuring: Bob Mussett, Chuck Schwager, Joye Thaller, Phil Thompson and Andrew Wetmore.
As in previous years, the cost of admission will include delicious pastries and fresh coffee from our sponsors, and will help to support the playwrights and actors.
What: Readings of new theatrical works by Boston area writers When: January 29, February 26, and March 26, 2011 Time: 8:00 pm Where: The Cambridge Center for Adult Education’s Blacksmith House Address: 56 Brattle St., Cambridge, MA 02138 Tickets: $10 (for sale in advance via CCAE’s web site via phone) Phone: 617-547-6789 x1.
