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.

The exhibit runs through December 19.

The Buskirk-Chumley Theater is proud to present songwriting legend John Hiatt in a solo concert.
With a career spanning more than four decades and musical genres from blues to new wave, John Hiatt is one of the most influential singer-songwriters in American music. Originally from Indianapolis, Hiatt cut his teeth early as a Nashville hitmaker, starting work as a professional songwriter at 18 and achieving his first Top 40 hit when Three Dog Night recorded his tune “Sure As I’m Sitting Here” in 1974. Hiatt’s songs are widely covered by everyone from Bob Dylan to Iggy Pop, and in 2008, he received the Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting.
Hiatt has become just as well known as a performer of his original material, releasing more than 24 full-length albums, including his 1987 breakthrough Bring the Family, which included long-lasting hit “Have a Little Faith in Me.”

Dick Gist has lots of stage experience – he is the bass player for uber-popular Brown County IN group’ The Indiana Boys. Dick’s music is Americana, some Folk, Rock, Blues inspired. He loves music and creating it and that is part of what makes this Singer-Songwriter a joy to watch and hear. David Michael Kirk – recently moved back to Bloomington after a very long time in Los Angeles CA – where he worked in Rock Bands while holding down a real job : -) His songs have won awards, and he is a very good writer / performer. Rae Fitzgerald is visiting us from Columbia MO to perform her songs about social injustice, values, and some sweet feelings. This will be her first Showcase with us, and we hope to make her a regular writer on the Showcase as she brings a lot to the party musically and lyrically. She is lovely inside and out and we look forward to adding her to our writer list!
Don’t forget; NO COVER CHARGE to attend this wonderful program each Monday evening and you can bring the entire family as the event is ALL AGES welcomed.
