SUMMARY:Veteran Writing Workshop: Writing in Harmony: The Collective Voice in Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Characters in stories are not always confined to solitary existences. They exist in groups\, in congregated masses\, in what we might term as collectives. \nThese collectives might be construction workers\, or a platoon of soldiers\, or a classroom filled with twelfth-graders. They might be a grocery co-op\, or a neighborhood social group\, or even a barrel of monkeys or a pride of lions. In this session\, we will generate fiction that gives narrative voice to a collective within a story while showing how a single\, articulate murmur might emerge from this group consciousness. Register today! Open to all skill levels. Free for current and prior military members. Register at Eventbrite \nTaught by Clayton Bradshaw-Mittal. \nClayton (they/them) is a queer\, previously unhoused veteran who holds an MFA and a PhD in Creative Writing. They teach Creative Writing at Gannon University and are the Managing Editor of New Ohio Review and No Place is Foreign Editor at Another Chicago Magazine.

SUMMARY:Storytelling through Animation
DESCRIPTION:Saturdays\, March 29th – May 3rd (10-12:30 pm) \n\n(6 weeks) Explore storytelling through Stop-Motion Animation. This program is developed for students with intellectual disabilities that want to learn more about animation\, while also developing their story writing skills. The 6-week course is built on a step-by-step structure that supports artists along each step in the production process. With each class\, students will learn the next step in production and then use those skills to further develop their stories. From writing\, to storyboarding\, to drawing and animating\, our goal is to provide students with all the tools to continue making animation long after our class is over. As their final project each student will create a short animated video that tells the story they developed in class.\n\nRegister here\nClass 1: Introduction to Animation and Equipment\nClass 2: Pre-production: Writing your story and storyboarding\nClass 3: Production: Building the visual elements of your story\nClass 4: Animating: Motion and bringing your story to life\nClass 5: Post-production: Editing and recording audio\nClass 6: Final screening

SUMMARY:Elements Dance Class
DESCRIPTION:Elements is once a month all-abilities dance class taking place on the 3rd Saturday of the month from 2-4 pm. It is open to everyone\, with or without disabilities\, to explore and develop their own movement style. Led by professional dance educators\, the class offers a welcoming and supportive environment where you can discover the joy of dance.\n\nIn this class\, we will be studying dance improvisation— a structured form of movement that is less technically rigid. Improvisation allows dancers to explore and create in the moment. Movement material will be developed through creative explorations\, including body mapping using levels\, shapes\, and dynamic frameworks and our everyday life topics.\n\nThe goal is to empower you to find your own language of movement\, embracing your individuality and creativity. Whether you’re new to dance or have years of experience\, everyone is welcome\, and no prior knowledge or experience is needed. Join us to move\, connect\, and enjoy dance in a space where all are valued.\n\nThe class fee is sliding $5-20 but no one is turned away because of lack of funds. No registration needed.
