This 6-part series of foundation level workshops will cover a variety of yoga-related topics, the first being fundamentals of asana alignment. In each 2.5 hour class, we'll break down sun salutations and standing postures, thoroughly examining their alignment from the perspective of external pose shape and internal subtle energy dynamics. We'll explore several different approaches for each asana, and learn how to effectively modify down (easier) and up (more challenging). Additionally, we'll go over hands-on adjustments for all poses and modifications. Learning to adjust asana is particularly helpful in integrating an of understanding subtle energy dynamics. Each session will close with Yoga Nidra and deep relaxation.

$50 per session

From the very start of his career through chart-topping hits like “Your Man,” “Would You Go With Me,” “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” and “All Over Me,” Josh Turner has immersed himself in country music’s history and its iconic figures.

Turner, while a multi-platinum-selling star himself, is a country music fan first and foremost. He’s even concocted his own version of Mount Rushmore conceived solely of country music legends. Turner’s “Mount Rushmore of Country Music” includes Randy Travis, John Anderson, Johnny Cash, Vern Gosdin, and Hank Williams. The giants carved into the granite of Turner’s musical soul form the core of his aptly titled new album, Country State of Mind. “I’ve always said that any song you hear coming from my voice, you’re going to hear bits and pieces of those five guys,” he says. “They taught me how to be Josh Turner.”

Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher, from the novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
Directed by Tom Eubanks

A new and shocking version of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale of depravity, lust, love and horror. On the fog-bound streets of Victorian-era London, Henry Jekyll’s experiments with exotic “powders and tinctures” have brought forth his other self—Edward Hyde, a sensualist and villain free to commit the sins Jekyll is too civilized to comprehend. When Hyde meets a woman who stirs his interest, Jekyll fears for her life and decides to end his experiments. But Hyde has other ideas, and so the two sides battle each other in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse to determine who shall be the master and who his slave. With multiple Hydes portrayed by members of the cast.

Primordial Ocean is a two-person exhibition and installation that will feature art by Emily McCall Roca Rice and Saloni Parekh. Primordial Ocean explores the basic vibrations of sound at the beginning of time. The sound from which the universe birthed. The sound that might know the beginning or might not know.

Parekh and Roca Rice collaborated on several objects together to offer a physical and visual aid. This will consist of ceramic vessels that might serve as pathways for the vibrations to reverberate throughout, forming choreography. Painting and drawing through ceramics, gathering, or fabricating sounds, installing the object, each step in the practice becomes an act of revelation.

Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure is the story of what happens when a man, new in his power and deep in his religion, forces a city to its knees and a woman to the end of her faith. Angelo sentences Claudio to death for impregnating his longtime sweetheart. When Isabella, Claudio’s sister and a soon-to-be Nun, begs for Angelo to change his mind, he offers her a choice: Claudio can die, or she can give up her chastity to Angelo in exchange for Claudio’s life.
“[W]ith an outstretched throat, I’ll tell the world aloud what man thou art.” “Who will believe thee, Isabel?”
Guests should bring their own lawn chairs or blankets so they will have room to spread out and observe proper social distancing while enjoying the outdoor performances.
