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

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. Tickets are not required.</p><p>Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa-sponsored events. If you are a person with a disability who requires a reasonable accommodation in order to participate in this program, please contact the Department of Dance in advance at 319-335-2228.</p>

Valašsky Frgal: large kolach
<p>Most of Czech food lovers have heard about kolaches. In this class, you will be introduced to a version that is not so commonly known in the U.S., but it is incredibly delicious and popular in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Valassky frgal has a shape like a pizza, but the dough is clearly a special kolach dough. The topping is usually at least 50% of all kolach, so if you like a lot of toppings, this will be your favorite. The final touch is a delicate topping of streusel that will bring this kolach to perfection. Part of this class will be the preparation of fillings from scratch: plum and pear.</p><p><strong>Note:</strong> Suitable for vegetarians.</p><p><br></p><p>Our popular virtual cooking classes are back! Cook and eat an authentic Czech and Slovak dish from the comfort of your home. Join us on Zoom and learn from Czech-born Chef Tom Slepicka in these hands-on, interactive classes.</p><p>Slepicka graduated from culinary school in his hometown, Brno, located in the Czech Republic. While still in school, he established a successful full-service catering company, which operated in the Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, and Austria. Slepicka moved to the U.S. with his wife in 2014. From 2015-16, he operated the Czech Deli at the NewBo City Market. The goal of his courses is to make tasty and high-quality meals accessible to everyone.</p> 2021-03-12 20:30:00 -0600

Spirituality in the 21st Century: Flaring Forth into Fullness of Life with Prairiewoods
<p>Friday, April 30, 7–9 p.m., & Saturday, May 1, 9 a.m.–3 p.m.</p><p>Prairiewoods celebrates our 25th Jubilee with a truly special Spirituality in the 21st Century event, offered entirely online via Zoom. This year’s online gathering features Thomas Berry biographers Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim from the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology (https://fore.yale.edu/). Tucker and Grim are the executive producers of the Emmy Award–winning film Journey of the Universe, narrated by Brian Swimme (https://www.journeyoftheuniverse.org/). This year’s event also welcomes eco-philosopher David Abram, founding director of the Alliance for Wild Ethics (https://wildethics.org/) and author of Spell of the Sensuous and Becoming Animal. We will also be joined by Joanna Macy–protégé and Active Hope aficionada Kathleen Rude, author of the eco-mystical novel The Redemption of Red Fire Woman (https://gaiawisdom.org/). The beautiful musical accompaniment of Sara Thomsen (https://sarathomsen.com) will weave lyrical poetry throughout the weekend. This event promises to be one of profound story, an opportunity for healing and refreshment, a wakeful enlightenment for our imagination with music as balm for the soul, and a gentle invitation for immersion into the wider “We” we have been longing for with all our hearts. From Prairiewoods’ founding until 2021, our mission has been framed with the Universe Story, a 13.7-billion-year journey that celebrates the wild fecundity of life from the Great Flaring Forth forward. Mary Evelyn and John share a passion and abiding love for the pioneering work of self-described “geologian” Thomas Berry, as well as his field’s foremost formative architect, Jesuit paleontologist and eco-philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, SJ. They will take us along on a fantastic exploration of how Teilhard’s and Thomas’ work continues to unfold in eco-spirituality circles today. As a spellbinding artist and cartographer of the numinous in creation, David captivates listeners with his uncanny ability to draw us into communion with the breathing, animate Earth, a community of living subjects all pulsating with the rhythm of the unfolding cosmos. After an hour or two with David submerging us in what Berry called the “single gorgeous celebratory event” that is creation, we will begin to feel more in sync with our creature-kin and arbor-elders, the stones and the crashing waves, than we ever thought possible. And as an environmentalist, shamanic practitioner, writer and activist/educator, Kathleen will invite us to enter into the very fabric of creation’s extended family, the ineffable beauty and mystery of the web of life, as healing for our spiritual malaise. Along with our beloved musician-of-Earth Sara Thomsen, they will coax us (ala Thoreau) to “live deep and suck all the marrow out of life,” and celebrate the unfolding of the Universe Story as a context for spiritual sojourners in 2021. This two-day event will take place entirely online via Zoom, and the cost is $75. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700. If you are up for the mission, come expecting the joy of surprise and a taste of new life!</p><p><br></p> 2021-02-06 21:00:00 -0600

Maddie Poppe
<p>Maddie Poppe, a twenty-three-year-old singer-songwriter from Clarksville, Iowa, is the Season 16 winner of American Idol. Maddie fell in love with music at a young age, learning to play guitar, ukulele and piano. In 2016, Maddie released her debut album, <em>Songs from the Basement</em>, which she wrote, produced and recorded alongside her father, Trent. After years of performing locally in Iowa, she decided to audition for American Idol - a decision she calls her “saving grace.” Ultimately, Maddie stole America’s hearts and was crowned the winner, giving the audience an emotional, overjoyed, and tear-stained performance of her single, “Going Going Gone.”</p><p>Since her Idol victory, Maddie has been in high demand, appearing on multiple TV shows including Jimmy Kimmel Live, Live! With Kelly & Ryan and the Radio Disney Music Awards, as well as performing at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, the Special Olympics, and CMA Fest in Nashville.</p><p>Maddie’s sophomore album <em>Whirlwind</em> reached #2 on the iTunes Pop charts and her hit single “Made You Miss” earned #19 on the Hot AC Radio charts. Her sentimental ballad “Not Losing You” also swept radio charts, reaching #17.</p><p>In the fall of 2019, Maddie supported Ingrid Michaelson on The Dramatic Tour, an experience she calls a dream come true. Hoping to brighten the 2020 holiday season, Maddie released a holiday EP aptly titled <em>Christmas From Home </em>on November 20th and embarked on a near-sold out acoustic Christmas tour. Maddie is currently on the road playing socially distanced shows and working on new music!</p> 2021-03-29 20:30:00 -0500

Hits of the Ragtime Era
<p>Hits of the Ragtime Era</p><p>Pop music comes and goes, but some songs from over 100 years ago are just as fresh in the mind as the day they were written. The Entertainer, Alexander’s Ragtime Band, St. Louis Blues, and Ballin’ the Jack are still familiar, but even when they first hit the scene, these songs were recognized as having something special. We’ll take a look at some of the songs that captivated the public and how their popularity continued into the present, and we’ll also share some songs and rags that were hits back in their day. So to quote Irving Berlin, “come on along” for a great hour of ragtime and also some early jazz and blues.</p><p>“Cherry & Jerry” is Isaac Cherry on percussion and Jerry Rabushka on piano. Based in St. Louis, the duo is also part of the larger “Ragged Blade Band,” and has toured music of the ragtime era throughout several states.</p><p>This program will be via Zoom.

Women of Ragtime
<div data-layout-label="Post Body" data-type="item" data-updated-on="1615999545890"><div data-block-type="2"><p>Women of Ragtime</p><p>Women ragtime composers faced challenges – it wasn’t considered very “ladylike” to write this kind of music, and once they got married, they were expected to give up their career and raise a family. Still, a surprising amount of ragtime was written by young women, and much of it was very successful in its time. We’ll share some music by May Aufderheide, the Indiana composer who is considered the best of the female composers; Charlotte Blake of Detroit, who was known not only for ragtime but also for popular songs; and Irene Giblin, who got her start demonstrating sheet music in a St. Louis department store. Along with that were some famous singers; vaudeville performer Sophie Tucker had an unusual rag written especially for her.</p><p>“Cherry & Jerry” is Isaac Cherry on percussion and Jerry Rabushka on piano.
