SUMMARY:Audio Described Performance of “Antigonick”
DESCRIPTION:A contemporary translation of the classic Greek drama that asks\, “How do we care for the dead and how do we grieve amidst crisis?” Antigonick is strangely reimagined by the inimitable Classics scholar and award-winning poet\, Anne Carson. \nDirected by Salvage Vanguard’s co-producing Artistic Director Diana Lynn Small\, Antigonick stretches the boundaries of story in poetry and theater. Antigonick asks\, “What can one woman do in the face of unjust laws?” What is she willing to sacrifice? In this time worn story\, Carson points to the lessons we’re meant to learn from our past\, yet somehow fail to remember. \nPurchase tickets online or call 512-474-7886. Let the Salvage Vanguard know you want audio description. \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Body Shift Elements Class
DESCRIPTION:The Elements class takes place every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month from 2:30-4:30pm at the Town Lake YMCA in the large group exercise room on the first floor. \nClass will be taught by Tanya Winters. \n//E Pluribus Unum// \nCollective consciousness…hive mind…group mind. Regardless of the term you use\, from ants to bees to humans all living things are stronger when they work together. In this Elements class\, we’ll explore what it’s like to move as a group and how our individuality contributes to a whole. We’ll play with concepts like follow and lead; action and response; and traveling together. We’ll see how these concepts deepen our sense of self\, support us in adding to our movement repertoire\, strengthen our listening skills\, and encourage us to see beyond our selves. \n  \nSimply\, Tanya loves to dance! She enjoys pushing the boundaries of art and disability. She began dancing in 2007 at Austin Community College and has been a regular Body Shift participant since its inception. She has had the privilege of studying with several wonderful dancers including Alito Alessi\, Nina Martin\, Karen Nelson\, and Stephen Koplowitz. Tanya became a certified DanceAbility instructor in 2011. She has participated in many student projects including the Justice Project\, The Way You Move Your Body\, Bodies in Public Space\, and Being/With Others. She has enjoyed dancing in several Body Shift pieces including Crippin’ the Streets\, Your Way of Thinking\, and Echo. She is a co-choreographer of Together and Apart and is currently working on a solo piece called Who am I Now. \n  \nElements is an on-going class in which we study dance and movement improvisation as well as somatics. DanceAbility is our foundational method with which we work to ensure inclusion. It is an equal collaboration and learning environment for every ‘body’ regardless of unique physical or mental characteristics. No gym membership is required to attend. Open to adults age 18 and up; all abilities and experience levels. No registration necessary. Fee for class is on a sliding scale from $5-$20\, cash or check accepted. See you at the Y! \nNEW! You can now pay class fees online here. \nFor more information email Olivia O’Hare or call 512-454-9912.

SUMMARY:Body Shift Foundations Class
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to get your body moving\, but don’t know where to begin? Are you intimidated by typical dance classes because you feel like you don’t fit in? Body Shift has a solution to bring out the dancer in us all! We offer you Foundations – an improvisational dance class for ALL people – especially designed to be accessible to those with little to no dance/movement experience. \nEach class we will explore ideas like developing body awareness\, non-verbal communication\, understanding of time/rhythm and choice making to support students in the discovery of their own movement language. Students will have the opportunity to awaken their creativity\, notice habitual movement patterns in order to expand movement possibilities\, and have a lot of fun in the process. We will learn how to allow our bodies to breath and move in ways that feel good to each person in the room without judgement. \nPeople of all unique mental and physical characteristics are invited to participate. Our goal is to offer a class where there are no wrong choices so everyone in the room feels empowered and successful to come and be as they are. Material in this class will be strongly based on the DanceAbility method\, an approach to dance for people with and without disabilities. No movement experience necessary to join. Drop in occasionally or join us every month; open ended attendance. \nThe Foundations class takes place at McBeth Recreation Center (2401 Columbus Dr\, Austin\, TX 78746) every 3rd Monday of the month from 7:00-8:30pm. Sliding scale/donation based – $5-$20. Adults age 18 and up. \nNEW! You can now pay class fees online here. \nFor more information email Olivia O’Hare or call 512-454-9912.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Gaelynn Lea
DESCRIPTION:MINDPOP\, Art Spark Texas\, and The Vortex are honored to present An Evening with Gaelynn Lea. Lea is an American folk singer\, violinist\, public speaker and disability advocate.

The video entry of her original song “Someday We’ll Linger in the Sun” rose to the top of over 6\,100 submissions from around the nation\, chosen as the unanimous favorite among the contest’s six judges. The very next week\, Gaelynn performed a moving Tiny Desk Concert\, at which the show’s host Bob Boilen said “there was hardly a dry eye.” \nGaelynn Lea’s musical reach has expanded significantly because of the Tiny Desk Contest. She began touring nationally in September 2016 with her husband Paul in their 2002 Ford Econline – and they’ve been on the road ever since!

SUMMARY:The Lion and The Pirate Open Mic
DESCRIPTION:Share a story\, poem\, song\, or other talent in a fun and supportive neighborhood bookstore. The open mic is wheelchair accessible. Please contact us at least one week in advance to request other accommodations\, including ASL interpreting\, audio description\, etc. \nIn addition to our regular open mic for performers of all ages and abilities\, this month we are delighted to have a special guest\, Elizabeth L. Sammons\, who will share with us her debut novel\, The Lyra and the Cross. \nFriendship\, forgiveness and faith set the groundwork of The Lyra and the Cross\, a historical novel depicting the political and spiritual unrest in the first-century Roman Empire. Drawing on five years of historical research and on her own cross-cultural experience as journalist\, Peace Corps volunteer and interpreter\, Ohio author Elizabeth Sammons depicts a world as full of interfaith conflict and difficult choices as our own. Amidst familiar characters from the New Testament\, readers will find stories of a slave turned freedman\, a Greek orphan adopted into life as a Jew and two bittersweet love stories set against a background of cross-cultural conflict comparable to events we witness in the 21st century. \nElizabeth L. Sammons is a two-time recipient of the Ohio Arts Council’s Artists with Disability Access Program Award. She lives in Worthington\, Ohio\, holds an M.A. in journalism from Ohio State University\, and has lived in five foreign countries. Her love of both scripture and Greek mythology dates back to childhood. To her knowledge\, this is the only modern English-language novel featuring St. Stephen as its protagonist. \nYou can RSVP\, invite friends\, and follow our Facebook event page for updates. \nFor more information email Eric Clow or call 512-454-9912. \n

SUMMARY:Audio Described Performance of “The Rover”
DESCRIPTION:In 1677\, poet\, libertine\, and sometime spy for Charles II\, Aphra Behn was the first published professional female playwright in the English language. Her play The Rover\, or the Banish’d Cavaliers was wildly popular in the Court\, but Behn was dismissed as lewd by critics due to her frank depiction of female sexual longing. \nThe Hidden Room presents this rarely-performed delight as a mash-up of 1677 and 1983 – a Restoration/New Romantic proto-feminist sex romp\, complete with swashbuckling sword fights\, forbidden romance\, masked revelers\, and bitchen live music. Pop your ruffled collar and behold Aphra Behn’s The Rover. \nRunning time: 2 hours and 15 minutes including one 10 minute intermission \nPurchase tickets online. Please make a note in the special instructions if you would like to use audio description.

SUMMARY:Body Shift Elements Class
DESCRIPTION:The Elements class takes place every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month from 2:30-4:30pm at the Town Lake YMCA in the large group exercise room on the first floor. \n(Note: Only one class in February!) \nClass will be taught by Lauren Tietz. \n//Body as Archive// \nPlease join us for the next Body Shift Elements class where we will dive into fundamentals of Lisa Nelson’s Tuning Scores while we also explore our body as personal archive. As an artist I have been exploring questions about identity\, lineage\, and the ancestors. For this class we will work with solo and group tuning as well as take some time to remember (through movement) what has influenced us\, shaped us\, in palpable and invisible ways. Depending on the group’s interests and the timing of class\, this might involve some writing/speaking in addition to witnessing and reflecting movement created. \n  \nLauren Tietz has been working in various settings from forests in Santa Fe\, New Mexico to the Rio Grande of Big Bend Texas to the caves of Cappadoccia\, Turkey to map and locate the human body in the larger natural world. As a dance artist and filmmaker she has collaborated with many different artists and groups across disciplines along her path. \nInfluenced by the phenomena of the senses\, reflexes\, and myriad survival methods humans employ in response to danger\, safety\, pleasure\, and poetics she sees the body as personal and cultural archive. From this intimate perspective Lauren is curious about how our relationship to our own body might be a window to perceive our larger relationship to the body of the earth. What is heard\, hidden\, forgotten\, saved\, remembered? \nLauren’s collaborations with other artists span from 2001 to today. She is a teacher\, dancer\, experimental filmmaker\, and interdisciplinary artist. She was the founder of the Improvisation Movement Project (IMP) that worked as a collective devising and performing new dance works beginning in 2004. \nIn 2011 she completed her MFA at Transart Institute. Her dance films have been screened at: On The Wall: Berlin Dance on Film Series/ Non Fiction (2010)\, The Not Festival: Curated by Luis Lara Malvacias\, NY (2011) and The 5th International Video Art Festival\, Cuba (2013 – SSFS)\, Big Medium (2015) EAST Austin Studio Tour (2016)\, Blackbox gallery (2017)\, Experimental response Cinema Local Filmmakers Showcase (2017)\, Austin Dance Festival (2018). \nIn addition to teaching classes\, workshops\, and retreats Lauren also has a private practice in biodynamic craniosacral therapy (EarthSkyBodyworks). She works with a diverse group of clients and offers support in rebalancing and healing from various life events and stressful experiences. She appreciates the connections between these two sides of her life: the creative energy utilized to devise new artworks and the creative energy utilized to help people to heal personal and cultural wounds. \n  \nElements is an on-going class in which we study dance and movement improvisation as well as somatics. DanceAbility is our foundational method with which we work to ensure inclusion. It is an equal collaboration and learning environment for every ‘body’ regardless of unique physical or mental characteristics. No gym membership is required to attend. Open to adults age 18 and up; all abilities and experience levels. No registration necessary. Fee for class is on a sliding scale from $5-$20\, cash or check accepted. See you at the Y! \nFor more information email Olivia O’Hare or call 512-454-9912.

It is advisable to bring a bottle of water and a towel for use after class. \n  \nAmy Morrow is an Austin-based teacher\, choreographer\, consultant\, & founder of AM Arts.
