Love Letters
<p dir="ltr">Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner, both born to wealth and position, are childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards and continues through a lifetime. </p><p><br></p><p dir="ltr">Romantically attached, they continue to exchange letters through the boarding school and college years-where Andy goes on to excel at Yale and law school, while Melissa flunks out of a series of "good schools." While Andy is off at war Melissa marries, but her attachment to Andy remains strong and she continues to keep in touch as he marries, becomes a successful attorney, gets involved in politics and, eventually, is elected to the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, her marriage in tatters, Melissa dabbles in art and gigolos, drinks more than she should, and becomes estranged from her children. Eventually she and Andy do become involved and it makes it eloquently clear how much they really meant, and gave to, each other over the years-physically apart, perhaps, but spiritually as close as only true lovers can be.</p> 2021-03-24 20:30:00 -0500

Soul Care: Creative Arts Grief Support Group with Prairiewoods
<p>Take time to connect with others in grief and engage the creative spark. Jamie Siela, LISW, and Christine Wagner-Hecht, MDiv, from Unity Point Hospice facilitate this monthly grief group open to anyone grieving loss through death. On the third Wednesday of each month, come together on Zoom to explore a different creative art medium. In March we will make a peaceful pillowcase. Sometimes we need a reminder of calm and safety before going to bed at night or first thing in the morning when we rise. We will use our time together to decorate a rest easy pillowcase with pictures that make us feel safe and calm, positive affirmations and memory symbols. We will meet online via Zoom. Group art kits will be mailed one week prior to the session, so registration is required by the previous Tuesday. This group is free and includes all art supplies. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2018-04-28 19:00:00 -0500

UI Dance presents Franklin + Madden Thesis Concert
<p><strong>Franklin + Madden Dance Thesis Concert</strong><br>Saturday, April 17 at 8:00 p.m. CST<br><a href="https://virtualdance.studio.uiowa.edu/" target="_blank">virtualdance.studio.uiowa.edu</a></p><p>This virtual concert will feature works by MFA candidates Laila J. Franklin and Jessica Madden.</p><p><em><strong>Space Cadet</strong></em><br>Direction, lead choreography, and performance by Laila J. Franklin<br>Performance and co-choreography by Jaki Bass and Ianka Hou<br>In my thesis project, <em>Space Cadet</em>, I am investigating black women and women of color’s slippery presence in performance through collaboratively devised solos. I am interested in the (in)visibility of lived experience and am curious about the residues of subjugation and erasure in the body. Through this process, I am working to activate a methodology of kinetic imagination that might serve in reorienting marginalized and oppressed bodies towards new possible futures: I am seeking to activate the body as a living and reflexive archive and a futuring medium. How might we consciously and strategically tap into our kinesthetically stored and sensation-based memories and present realities and allow them to be generative in our making? How might we support each other in a practice of re-visioning, orienting the knowledge stored within our bodies toward futures that serve ours and our communities’ greatest good? In this process, I employed black performance technologies from dance, music, and theater traditions, exploring the space these make for embodied knowledge – what viscerally felt and experience - to act as a primary source.</p><p><strong><em>Between the Waves</em></strong><br>Choreography and Direction by Jessica Madden<br>Choreography and performance by Danica Clayton, Erin Evans, Michael Landez, Juliet Remmers, Jensen Steinbronn<br>This work is an examination of empathy, grounded in themes of recovery and resilience. Looking to the body as a site of embodied memory and personal narrative, my goal has been to facilitate engagement with these embodied layers of experience, and to draw upon them as a primary source of movement generation. Recovery is generally thought of as a return to normalcy, but after engaging in this area of research, my question has become: what is “normal,” especially when the event in question leaves one’s self or situation permanently altered? As Bessel van der Kolk points out, in his book The Body Keeps The Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma: ". . . what has happened cannot be undone. But what can be delt with are the imprints of the trauma on body, mind, and soul . . . The challenge of recovery is to reestablish ownership of your body and your mind – of your self" (205). As humans, we carry the imprints of our experience and memories around with us, and recovery cannot begin to take place until we begin to grapple with, and learn how to own and carry them in a way that allows us to heal and move forward. While it is not my intention, nor my qualification, to serve as therapist or counselor in this environment, my hope has been to create space for self-directed introspection and processing within this creative research process.</p><p>Join us at <a href="https://virtualdance.studio.uiowa.edu/">virtualdance.studio.uiowa.edu </a>for this free performance.
