27 May '15

Everyone is welcome to attend. We don't care if you don't now how to dance or don't ever want to learn. The bands are always good, so stop by and have a listen. If you want to learn to dance we have lessons. If you need a partner, no worries. We have plenty of people who attend the group lessons and we rotate partners during those lessons. That makes the lessons extra fun! Be sure to arrive in time to take part in the easy jitterbug lesson from 8pm to 9pm. Conner Phillips and Megan Hallstrom will be teaching the fantastic lesson. We always review the basic Jitterbug step, talk about the basics of leading and following, and then show a few new moves. Each lesson is unique and you will always pick up new moves and hints each time you attend a pre-dance lesson at a Get Hep Swing event. These lessons are appropriate for brand new dancers all the way up to advanced dancers. You will not be disappointed! Immediately after the lesson (at 9 PM) Blue Lunch will kick off an awesome night of music and swing dancing until 12am. Only $12 per person. No need to RSVP or buy tickets in advance. Pay in cash at the door. The Waterloo Ballroom at the Slovenian Workman's Home is located in the very artsy and lively Collinwood neighborhood. The address is 15335 Waterloo Rd, Cleveland, Ohio 44110. The Slovenian not only has a beautiful ballroom; they also have a well stocked bar. They have alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks of all kinds for sale--including a very special Slovenian beer- Lasko! There are TWO parking lots to the right of the ballroom and there is also some street parking as well. However, if you can carpool with friends that would be recommended. We also have a security guard who keeps an eye on the hall and both parking lots. For more info please email Valerie at info(a)gethepswing.com The sign for the Slovenian has been taken down so please look for the sign for Waterloo Brew. Our entrance is just to the left of them. There are TWO parking lots to the right of the ballroom and there is also some street parking as well. We also have a security guard who keeps an eye on the hall and both parking lots.

WOLVES - Final weekend!
by convergence-continuum via NEohioPAL 26 May '15

26 May '15

LAST CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE "WOLVES" THIS WEEKEND AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM. "WOLVES" MAKES ITS FINAL THRILLING (AND FUNNY!) PROWL THIS THURS-SAT. Ben has recently moved from a small town to the big city, where he shares a tiny apartment with Jack. But Ben has an outrageous fear of the city, which he thinks of as the deep, dark forest, and is terrified of the wolves he believes that prowl it. To taunt the clingy, jealous Ben, Jack goes cruising at a bar one night and brings home a wolf. Though a series of misunderstandings and mix-ups, things turn violent (ax is involved!) and its up to the crafty female narrator to guide us through the mayhem of this postmodern urban fracturing of the Red Riding Hood tale. WOLVES has its final three performances this Thu-Sat at 8 pm, at the Liminis theater, 2438 Scranton Rd. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 seniors (65+), $10 students. Reservations and information at http://www.convergence-continuum.org and 216-687-0074.

Exclusive interview with Shaw Festival's Artistic Director Jackie Maxwell
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 26 May '15

26 May '15

What Were They Thinking: Shaw Festival's Jackie Maxwell Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics "I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation." ~ Bernard Shaw Since its inception in 1962, the Shaw Festival at Niagara-on-the-Lake in Ontario, Canada has offered professional productions of the provocative plays of Irish socialist, cantankerous arts critic and prolific writer Bernard Shaw. Shaw wrote many popular plays between his one-act "Un Petit Drame" in 1884 and his final work, "Farfetched Fables," in 1950, and the Shaw Festival rotates through most of them. It also produces plays by Shaw contemporaries and the works of modern-day Shavians - those who share Shaw's incendiary exploration of society, love of language and celebration of humanity. This season, ten plays are being produced in repertory under artistic director Jackie Maxwell's leadership. They range from Shaw's "Pygmalion" and his lesser known "You Never Can Tell," to the classic Neil Simon musical "Sweet Charity," Moss Hart's backstage comedy "Light Up the Sky," and Ibsen's rarely-produced romantic drama "The Lady From the Sea." To learn more about the shows at Shaw, the Cleveland Jewish News caught up with Jackie Maxwell in between her meetings with the designers and directors of the four plays that open shortly, rehearsals with the cast and creative team of the two plays she is directing, and planning sessions for next year's festival.

48 Hours Film Project - Cleveland - July 10-12
by Arina Băjan-Zaciu via NEohioPAL 26 May '15

26 May '15

Hello - I've registered a team for the 2015 Cleveland 48 Hour Film Project event taking palce July 10 through 12. If you're unfamiliar with the project, it's exactly as it sounds. From Friday evening at 7pm, once each team has been given a genre, we start brainstorming, coming up with the story, filming and editing into a final short turned in no later than 7:30pm Sunday evening. The shorts will be shown at the Capitol Theatre on July 22nd-23rd. If anyone would be interested in joining my team (unpaid, but fed), or curious to know more (www.48hourfilm.com) please e-mail me ( arinaabz(a)gmail.com) You can see some of my work at www.vimeo.com/arinaabz Although the story will come the weekend of, I can share some basic aspirations and examples of personal inspiration: - my goal is positivity, peace, compassion. - not looking for any swearing or violence - bright, colorful or monochromatic, but clean - My inspirations and favourites at the moment: Eureka (tv show - for its idea, intelligent comedy), Tomorrowland (similar to Eureka - good cinematography, current events, positive, not focused on the villain, on the fight, but rather on the concept), Broadchurch (best cinematography at the moment hands down, for me) and finally, Taylor Swift's "Style" music video (not a fan of hers, but the music video has the retro flickers with interesting effects). I love keeping audience guessing, making movies fun like a game. -- Sincerely, Arina *.peace.*.love.*.hope.*.happiness.* =========================================
