About: Chair-bound exercises are ideal for people with lower body injuries or disabilities, those with weight problems or diabetes, and for people looking to reduce their risk of falling. This is an excellent routine for any fitness level or age; from those who are wishing to work out while on the job to those who are injured or trying to stay active with a health condition such as fibromyalgia or arthritis. This low impact workout is easy on the joints but still very effective for toning. Cardiovascular, strength training, and flexibility chair exercises can help improve strength, posture, and reduce back pain. They’re also a great way to squeeze in a workout while you’re watching TV!

The beginner exercise class will begin with a warm-up session and then focus on the upper body or lower body, and then end with a cool-down. The classes will alternate between upper body and lower body each week. Each session will include a variety of different exercises with an individualized progression of difficulty throughout the class. Exercises will include a chair with dumbbells and resistance bands. Handouts will also be given to encourage exercise throughout daily life. For more information: call the center at 876-3383 ex. 515.

“The Taste of Seduction: Arousing Desire with Edible Aphrodisiacs”
Taste of Seduction examines the rich tradition of linking the enjoyment of food and drink with romance and sex, through a display of works of art and cultural artifacts from the Kinsey Institute. Curators combed the collection for depictions of food and beverages and selected more than 50 photographs, prints, paintings, ceramic and glass objects, and artifacts that relate to the consumption of food and beverages and its association with sexual desire, romantic love and seduction. This exhibition is part of the 2014 Themester: Eat, Drink, Think: Food from Art to Science.

Featured artists include Albert Arthur Allen, Herbert Ascherman, Lynn Bianchi, Gili Chen, Ian Cook, David Deaubrey, Anthony Droege, Beryl Fine, Gene Greger, Bill Haigwood, Naomi Harris, Danielle Kaltz, Maureen Kaveney, R. Leftwick, Henri Monnier, April Renae, Feodor Rojankovsky, Mark Sawrie, Sam Steward, Betsy Stirratt, and Marie Weichman.
The exhibit runs through December 19.

“Undress Me”
Undress Me presents a selection of playful vintage photographs of women in lingerie from the Kinsey Institute art collection paired with period underclothes such as corsets, petticoats, brassieres, drawers, robes, and other garments on loan from the Sage Collection at Indiana University. Ranging in date from the late 19th century through the 1920s, the clothing on display illustrates the dramatic shift in desired body shape from the hourglass, to the S-curve, to the straight boyish lines of the Roaring Twenties. Tight-fitting corsets were eventually replaced by simple brassieres, and the volume and number of undergarments worn by women dramatically diminished. While the historic undergarments on view served the functional purposes of shaping and protecting, their decorative elements reveal that undergarments, though private, were also meant to be seen and appreciated for their erotic possibilities.

Overseen by the Department of Apparel Merchandising and Interior Design, the Sage Collection serves as a resource for students, professionals, and the public. The Collection contains both a high-quality permanent museum collection intended for exhibition and research and a hands-on collection used in classroom instruction and fashion design studios. The Sage Collection was founded by Elizabeth Sage, the first professor of Clothing and Textiles at Indiana University. For more information, go to http://www.indiana.edu/~sagecoll or call 812-855-4627.
The exhibit runs through December 19.

Set during the advent of “talkies,” Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) has risen to stardom during Hollywood’s silent-movie era— paired with the beautiful, jealous, and dumb Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen in her Oscar®-nominated performance). When Lockwood becomes attracted to young studio singer Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds), Lamont has her fired. But with the introduction of talking pictures, Lockwood finds his career in jeopardy when audiences hear Lamont’s shrill voice for the first time … that is, until the studio decides to use Selden to dub her voice.

The relationship between food and love is magically manifested in this sensual and sensuous fairy tale of a film, adapted from Laura Esquival’s novel. A passionate young woman, frustrated in love by the strictures of family tradition, imbues the food she cooks with such strong emotion that it affects everyone who tastes it. Touched by the Latin American magical realist tradition, the film is a sumptuous feast for the senses. In Spanish language with English subtitles. (35mm presentation)

Jenn Cristy is our Rocker girl, and an uber talented, classically trained musician who has performed with John (Cougar) Mellencamp, and since moved on to her own career as one of the best local talents. Actually voted #1 female musical artist in a recent survey!. Sarah Grain put her music on the back burner for a bit as she became a new mother – twins?

Still a young talent, and with nice classical guitar skill, this excellent Singer-Songwriter has smitten the audiences here in Bloomington each time she has appeared on the Showcase. Ralph Ed Jeffers is a Blues, Bluegrass, Americana writer who has some very cool songs – somewhere between Mountain Music and Blues is where this multi-talented Musician / Songwriter lands musically. He often performs with Pablo Adams and Chris Wolf – fellow entertainers residing in Mooresville IN, as CPR, but tonight we’ve got him solo and look forward to the music of Ralph Ed Jeffers. Also on this evening’s Showcase is relative newcomer Clint Zimmerman – also from the Martinsville/Mooresville area, who will be performing his Country, Country-Rock style music for us this evening. We first heard Cling Z. at one of our monthly Open Guest ‘Share-A-Chair’ evenings, where this big, good-looking Cowboy took the stage and blew our socks off. Welcome back Clint Zimmerman!
