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.

WFIU Public Radio presents Mara Liasson, NPR’s national political correspondent. Her reports can be heard regularly on NPR’s award-winning newsmagazines All Things Considered and Morning Edition. Liasson provides extensive coverage of politics and policy from Washington, DC — focusing on the White House and Congress — and also reports on political trends beyond the Beltway.

Each election year, Liasson provides key coverage of the candidates and issues in both presidential and congressional races. During her tenure she has covered six presidential elections — in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, and 2012.

Prior to her current assignment, Liasson was NPR’s White House correspondent for all eight years of the Clinton administration. She has won the White House Correspondents Association’s Merriman Smith Award for daily news coverage in 1994, 1995, and again in 1997. From 1989-1992 Liasson was NPR’s congressional correspondent.

Liasson will speak to the meaning of the results of the midterm elections to the balance of power in the House and Senate. The conversation will be moderated by Marjorie Hershey, professor of political science at Indiana University. Professor Hershey’s research and teaching interests focus on political parties, campaigns, and elections. An open Q & A will follow.

All aboard for the saucy and splendid new production of Anything Goes—winner of three 2011 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival and Best Choreography. One of the greatest musicals in theatre history, Cole Porter’s first-class musical comedy is sailing across the country and pulling into port at IU Auditorium this November. Based on the celebrated Roundabout Theatre Company’s production, The New York Times hails it a “musical-comedy joy,” and USA Today calls it “glorious and exuberant!”

When the S.S. American heads out to sea, etiquette and convention get tossed out the portholes as two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love…proving that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, an exotic disguise, and some good old-fashioned blackmail. Cole Porter’s iconic score accelerates this fast-paced musical voyage, peppering the timeless classic with some of musical theatre’s most memorable standards, including “I Get a Kick Out of You” and “You’re the Top.” And of course, this tale wouldn’t be complete without top-notch dancing and jaw-dropping production numbers like “Blow, Gabriel, Blow!” and the title number “Anything Goes.”

Anything Goes is a shining example of classic musical theatre, complete with amazing tap numbers, campy jokes, unlikely happy endings, and eminently hummable songs. For those seeking a deliriously giddy night of light-hearted musical-comedy gold, don’t miss what the Associated Press exclaims as, “So delightful, so delicious, so DE-LOVELY!”
