"Achieving the Impossible: Becoming a Catalyst for Change"

Gruwell will be available after the lecture for discussion and a book signing. Gruwell will also be speaking to the teachers of Decorah High School and Middle School the morning of Feb. 20.Inspired by Anne Frank and Zlata Filipovic, who lived in war-torn Sarajevo, Gruwell fosters an educational philosophy that values and promotes diversity. She encourages her students to rethink rigid beliefs about themselves and others, reconsider their daily decisions and ultimately re-chart their own futures. Many of her students have overcome hardships such as teen pregnancy, drugs and violence to become aspiring college students, published writers and catalysts for change. They published a book "The Freedom Writers Diary," in homage to the civil rights activists, The Freedom Riders. The book is the basis for the 2007 film "Freedom Writers," in which Gruwell is played by Hilary Swank.As a teacher, Gruwell channeled her classroom experience toward a larger cause. She founded the Freedom Writers Foundation through which she teaches teachers around the country how to implement her innovative lesson plans into their own classrooms. She has recently published a book about these methods, "The Freedom Writers Diary Teacher's Guide," and all proceeds from the book go directly to the Freedom Writers Foundation.Gruwell and her students have appeared on several television shows including Oprah, Prime Time Live with Connie Chung, Barbara Walters' The View, and Good Morning America. They have also won dozens of awards, including the Spirit of Anne Frank Award.Gruwell is a graduate of University of California Irvine, where she was awarded the Lauds and Laurels Distinguished Alumni Award. She received her masters degree and teaching credentials from California State University Long Beach where she was honored as a distinguished alumna by the School of Education.There will be a screening of “Freedom Writers” in Valders Hall of Science Room 206 at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 13. This event is also open to the public with no charge for admission.A national liberal arts college with an enrollment of 2,005, Luther offers an academic curriculum that leads to the Bachelor of Arts degree in more than 60 majors and pre-professional programs.

Religion vs. Science? Don't Believe It

Popular culture, public discourse, and the media are pervaded by endlessly reiterated claims that science and religion are incompatible. But do they represent antagonistic worldviews, the one based on reason and evidence, the other on faith and the rejection of evidence? This self-serving misrepresentation depends on mistaken assumptions about what the natural sciences can and cannot explain, as well as on a cartoonish view of "religion" that makes no distinctions among different religious traditions or theological claims. This lecture will show how the assumption that science and religion are inherently conflictual is mistaken—and how properly understood, whatever is true about the natural world does not and cannot conflict with true religion.Dr. Brad Gregory | Professor of History and Dorothy G. Griffin Collegiate Chair, University of Notre DameThis event is a part of the 2019 Spring Lecture Series: Faith/Reason/Science: Friends or Foes?More Info: https://www.mtmercy.edu/faith-reason

UI Dance presents Dancers in Company: Taking Ground

Presented by the University of Iowa Department of DanceDancers in Company Home Concert February 21, 22, 23 at 8:00 p.m. Space Place Theater, 101 North HallDancers in Company, the University of Iowa’s premiere touring ensemble, presents their hugely popular home concert. Now in its 35th year, the company’s repertory explores the theme of “taking ground.” Curated by company directors Jessica Anthony and Alex Bush, this evening of dancing engages with current and historical social and political movements that bring marginalized voices forward, as well as abstract and aesthetic investigations of equity and space. UI Dance students will perform a thrilling concert and use workshops and public discussions to facilitate community conversations throughout Iowa. Don’t miss the only UI home performances from this company of talented and exciting dancers and choreographers.Dancers in Company: Taking Ground home concert performances will include the following works:Borrowed Earth Choreography by Alex Bush, in collaboration with the dancers Borrowed Earth was developed using material created in weekly course-meetings with the entire company during fall 2018. As we explored the theme of “taking ground,” we engaged in movement research around ideas of identity and position, engaging empathy through performance, and communal choice/change. This work offers insight into our investigation of these themes.Pillow talk: We are here again Choreography by Christopher-Rasheem McMillan, in deep collaboration with the dancersSonata for Anyone Who Cares to Listen Choreography by Kristin Marrs Sonata for Anyone Who Cares to Listen explores the myriad sources of the choreographer’s own identity as a dancer and performer. The lighthearted narrative follows the poignant journey of a young explorer navigating the stage for the first time, and the characters she encounters introduce her to the magical world of the theater. The story simultaneously reminds both the audience and those behind the scenes not to take themselves too seriously.Gabriel Choreography by Armando Duarte, in collaboration with the dancers Gabriel is based on composition by internationally known British artist Peter Gabriel. Using a colorful musical background (composed and performed by Peter Gabriel himself along with various international artists of different ethnicities), the choreography is inspired by the lyrics and soundscapes provided by his music.I want to be, more aw-ware, nowww (lift) Choreography by Tony Orrico, in collaboration with the dancers I want to be, more aw-ware, nowww (lift) is a choreographic interpretation of Orrico’s transcription of Tristan Perich’s 1-Bit Symphony (Movements 1 and 2). As Perich describes it, 1-Bit Symphony is not a conventional recording, but rather, an object that "performs its music live" when it is turned on. This beautifully dense arrangement is stored on a microchip and housed autonomously in a cd jewel case; when plugged into a speaker, it manifests sound. This activation of Perich's 'live' sound (due to logistics, recorded sound will be used for Space Place performances), and the dancers’ recall of a deeply embodied movement score, both seem to echo how the performativity of objects/forms/concepts rely on our engagement to sustain their life-force.P.O.V. Choreography by Charlotte Adams, in collaboration with the dancers P.O.V. formally investigates an intricately woven dance quartet viewed from numerous perspectives highlighting the dancer’s finely tuned cooperative abilities.Human Choreography by Brian EnosThis performance contains adult content and language. Theatrical haze will be used.Tickets: $14 Adults $8 Seniors (65+) $8 Students & Youth $5 UI Students (with valid ID)Tickets are available through the Hancher Box Office at 1.800.HANCHER or 319.335.1160 or www.hancher.uiowa.edu/tickets. Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa-sponsored events.

Live Music: Amy Andrews at Vue Rooftop

Born and raised in Baltimore Maryland, musician Amy Andrews is an award-winning vocalist, who often draws comparisons to Norah Jones and the late, great Eva Cassidy. Known firstly for stunning vocals and unassuming charm on stage, and secondly for traveling great swaths of North America to play stages while her dog hangs out in the green room, Amy has, in the last few years, gone solo and received national (US) press, while touring hundreds of thousands miles to share stages and open for artists from Gregory Alan Isakov, Stu Larsen, Rose Cousins, to Levi Lowrey and Clay Cook (of Zac Brown Band and John Mayer), and more. From Alaska Folk Festival to Florida's 30A Songwriters' Festival, with headliners like Jackson Browne, Lucinda Williams, and Mary Chapin Carpenter, Amy has played it all, and this tree-hugging, ever-traveling, modern day torch-singer and songwriter, is one you will want to hear live! 2019-01-18 23:00:00 -0600

Tiny Beautiful Things

Based on the best-selling book by Cheryl Strayed and adapted for the stage by Nia Vardalos. When the struggling writer was asked to take over the unpaid, anonymous position of advice columnist, Strayed used empathy and her personal experiences to help those seeking guidance for obstacles both large and small. Tiny Beautiful Things is a play about reaching when you’re stuck, healing when you’re broken, and finding the courage to take on the questions which have no answers.  2019-02-14 22:00:00 -0600

This beautifully dense arrangement is stored on a microchip and housed autonomously in a cd jewel case; when plugged into a speaker, it manifests sound. This activation of Perich's 'live' sound (due to logistics, recorded sound will be used for Space Place performances), and the dancers’ recall of a deeply embodied movement score, both seem to echo how the performativity of objects/forms/concepts rely on our engagement to sustain their life-force.P.O.V. Choreography by Charlotte Adams, in collaboration with the dancers P.O.V. formally investigates an intricately woven dance quartet viewed from numerous perspectives highlighting the dancer’s finely tuned cooperative abilities.Human Choreography by Brian EnosThis performance contains adult content and language.

The Feralings

Ralph Waldo Emerson. Diesel. Morning glories. AM radio. These all influence Iowa acoustic roots trio The Feralings, as do the gently sloping landscapes of the Iowa countryside and the sound of tornado sirens squealing and the rumble of trucks on I-80. Their songwriting reflects parenthood, friendship, imperfection, magic, and a big love for storytelling, as well as the folk, bluegrass, jazz, alt-country, Americana, gospel, and roots that form each member’s musical DNA. In October of 2018 The Feralings released their long-awaited debut EP, titled simply “The Feralings”. It was recorded over the course of several years, as the band navigated parenthood, life changes, and personal struggles, and it showcases the power and intimacy of the band’s enthralling live performances.

RHCR Theatre's 5th Annual 24 Hour Play Festival & Silent Auction

Rich Heritage of Cedar Rapids Theatre is hosting our 5th annual season fundraiser, "Write. Act. Watch." A 24 Hour Play Festival and Silent Auction, on Saturday, February 23rd at 6:00pm.  The event will be taking place at Whipple Auditorium in the downtown Cedar Rapids Library ( 450 5th Ave SE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa), and will feature works six original, never-been-seen plays... all written, directed, and performed within a 24 hour period.  Here's how it works: Six writers and six directors are chosen from a sign up list. They meet the (Friday) evening before the event, and the writers draw 2 genres and a famous movie line to incorporate into their play. They then draw the director who is to direct their play and the directors draw the actors for each play. Writers have from 7pm Friday evening until 7am Saturday morning to write an original 10-15 minute play. At 8am, scripts are distributed and each cast rehearses with their director for the next 8-10 hours, followed by a performance in front of an audience Saturday evening.  Are you ready to hear the BEST PART? ALL of the talented directors, writers, and actors performing in this event have roots RIGHT HERE in the corridor! -------------------------------There will be a silent auction and social hour starting at 6pm. We have some AMAZING silent auction items that have been graciously donated by some of Cedar Rapids' finest businesses, and we will be asking you to bid on these items before the performances start and through the first half of the performances. The money we raise from this auction will go towards equipment expenses, performance rights, set materials, and other necessary items to start the season out right.  Community support is the only way that RHCR Theatre can achieve our season goals, and we continue to look to our friends, neighbors, and local businesses to encourage and support us throughout our endeavors. Thank you for supporting local artists and live theatre. We are SO excited about our season kickoff, and we CAN'T WAIT to see you there!  Tickets to the event can be purchased through the Eventbrite link above, or by clicking the link on our website at <a data-lynx-mode="hover" data-lynx-uri="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.RHCRtheatre.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1sVNbpxjFok5fHrcvKfF1KJckIm50x0LdG543HIoXtZtOvQy-ZNQFDrD8&h=AT1q_XiPkzmutqqJJTvesBgqioTV5KrPVo29mEhVrs7XbUFyI3FaAHQa_i_OJvSpIqK_YjBPhD8EaspPqE7sEi9YSgICM-Z-cEgcjlLEAo41z-3T2AdLDyWr0D-qi7c5PA" href="http://www.rhcrtheatre.com/?fbclid=IwAR1sVNbpxjFok5fHrcvKfF1KJckIm50x0LdG543HIoXtZtOvQy-ZNQFDrD8" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.RHCRtheatre.com.</a> We look forward to seeing you there! 2019-02-01 22:00:00 -0600
