Alfredo Minetti, musician, scholar, director of “This is Tango Now,” has been offering courses in International Studies on the arts and cross-cultural communication. He is a superb pianist in the classical tradition, but also in the music of Argentine tango and the less-well known form of Chamamé. His evening-long theatre pieces have toured the US, Europe, and China, and he’s working on a book that examines the questions of artistry, interpretation, and partnering. The event will be free and open to the public, and is sponsored by Themester 2016: Beauty, an initiative of the IU College of Arts and Sciences, and IU’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Latin American Music Center.

The class is taught by Carli Astell who has been teaching yoga since 2002. Her classes consist of ashtanga inspired hatha yoga, and vinyasa yoga I and II. In her class the goal is to have fun, be free, and spread love. The class is great for beginners and practiced yogis alike. All levels are welcome and encouraged.

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike
By Christopher Durang

Directed by Jonathan Michaelsen

The tranquility of siblings Vanya and Sonia’s uneventful home life is comically disrupted by the return of their movie star sister Masha, who owns the house. She brings with her unwelcome drama, a preening (and usually shirtless) young lover named Spike, and the devastating news of her plans to sell the house. Now all they need to reconcile is Snow White, a voodoo doll, and a play about the destruction of the earth.

Performance dates include October 21, 22, 25 – 28, 2016 at 7:30 pm and October 29 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Thank you Associate Producers and Theatre Circle Members Anne and Jim Bright for supporting this production.
