by Valerie Salstrom via NEohioPAL 06 Nov '16

06 Nov '16

Monday nights beginning November 7th we have beginner and intermediate Lindy classes. One hour each week. 5 consecutive weeks. $60 per person, $100 per couple. Lindy began in the ballrooms of Harlem in the late 1920s/early 1930s. It is a conglomeration of dances that immigrants brought over from their homelands as a response to what was the latest craze in music - Jazz! Lindy is characterized by some of the same things that make Jazz music great; syncopated rhythms, creative improvisation, and call and response. In this workshop you will learn the basic 8 count footwork pattern, the swing out, circle and several other fancy fundamental moves. You can see examples of Lindy in the movies and TV shows like "Swingers", "A League Of Their Own", "Malcolm X”, "Swing Kids”, "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Dancing With The Stars”. Tuesday nights beginning November 8th we have beginner and intermediate Jittebug classes. One hour each week. 5 consecutive weeks. $60 per person, $100 per couple. We make learning how to partner dance FUN! Learn the easiest form of partnered dancing – The Jitterbug! Also known as East Coast Swing or Swing. We will dance to a variety of styles of music including big band swing, early rock & roll, blues and R & B! You will learn the basic footwork patterns and how to lead and follow a fun mix of spins and turns in open and closed position. Learning to swing dance is a great way to meet people and get some exercise! You do NOT need a partner to take this class however, there is a discounted rate for people who sign up as a couple with one person assuming the role of leader and the other person assuming the role of follower. Students should wear comfortable clothing and shoes with a non-stick sole. High heels are not recommended for this class. Please register and pay through the Brecksville Center for the Arts.

Upcoming Art Show at the Baseball Heritage Museum
by Margaret Reardon via NEohioPAL 06 Nov '16

06 Nov '16

LEGENDARY BALLPARKS: AN EXHIBITION OF WORKS BY THOMAS WOODMANCOMING TO THE BASEBALL HERITAGE MUSEUM The Baseball Heritage Museum announces the opening of The Ballpark – An Exhibition on the First Concrete and Steel Ballparks of Major League Baseball, including two presentations by the artist, on Saturday, December 3, 2106. The exhibit will feature images by local architect Thomas Woodman, who uses 21st century technology to take viewers back in time. In 2011, Woodman started recreating in 3D the ballparks that were the homes of the 16 original franchises that made up baseball's Major League as we know it today. All have disappeared from the built environment with the exception of Fenway Park in Boston, Wrigley Field in Chicago, and a portion of Cleveland's own League Park, whose former ticket office is now home to the Baseball Heritage Museum. Through Woodman's use of his architectural background and Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, the exhibit will be able to show visitors what these ballparks looked like when they opened over 100 years ago. Woodman will make two presentations on the history and process behind the exhibit at the opening on December 3. First, he will give an overview of the ballparks at 11 a.m., then a talk on League Park specifically at 1 p.m. The exhibit will remain on display through January 28, 2017 during Museum hours every Saturday from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Limited edition prints also will be available during the run of the exhibit. For more information, call the Museum at 216-789-1083 or visit www.baseballheritagemuseum.org. The Baseball Heritage Museum is located in the Ticket House at historic League Park, 6601 Lexington Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44113, at the corner of Lexington and East 66th Street. Unmetered parking is available on the streets. Admission is free. The mission of the museum is to preserve and present the history of diversity in baseball by entertaining, educating, and enlightening the visiting public about the multicultural heritage of baseball and the values it represents.

Review of "Annapurna" at none too fragile
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 05 Nov '16

05 Nov '16

none too fragile’s ‘Annapurna’ offers epic love and loss in one act Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics Homer’s 8th century BCE poem “The Odyssey” is about the Greek hero Ulysses, who is presumed dead by his wife and son after he is sent on a 10-year journey after the decade-long Trojan War by the displeased sea-god Poseidon. In Sharr White’s fractured, one-act treatment of this epic tale – which received its Off-Broadway premiere in 2014 – Ulysses has finally come home. And home is a dilapidated trailer squatting somewhere in an unattractive part of the West Elk Mountain range of Colorado. The play is getting a beautifully performed but anemically designed production at none too fragile. For more of this review, go to www.clevelandjewishnews.com/columnists/.
