State College, PA Events: Community Calendar

The Children's Eating Behavior Lab at Penn State University Park is looking for 7-8 year old children for a fun nutrition study! Contact Kara, our Project Coordinator, at [email protected] or 814-865-5169 for more information.

Still Here explores stories of migration, displacement, and survival by eight artists that represent a spectrum of the African Diaspora. The works in this exhibition use moving images to highlight the rituals and traditions that persevere and evolve, despite the oppressive historical ripple effects of colonialism and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Through practices and tools of survival such as migrating, defending, dancing, gathering, praying, and claiming agency over one’s body, the works in this exhibition demonstrate that black and brown bodies are not here for consumption of the white gaze, nor are they passive beings upon whom actions are done or inflicted. Artists include Larry Achiampong, Adama Delphine Fawundu, Third Horizon (Jason Fitzroy Jeffers), Carlos Javier Ortiz, Cinthia Marcelle, Melo-X, Helina Metaferia, and Joiri Minaya. Curated by Larry Ossei-Mensah, Dexter Wimberly and Kiara Ventura, Still Here was originally organized at the Museum of the African Diaspora, San Francisco.

A mat-based formatted class designed for people who like to sweat & burn calories! Inspired by Yoga and Pilates using focus, flow, and fusion-style movements, as it incorporates dynamic balance, strength, flexibility, and functional training in a rhythmic style. Suitable for all levels!

Stay up to date on our most recent class schedule, via our website: http://www.wellnessinmotionstudio.com/classes-and-events/class-calendar/

This class offers a sequence of poses that focus on connecting movement to breath. This practice cultivates mindfulness and non-judgmental awareness of body alignment, sensations, and energy flow. Movement (through asanas) and rest (through guided meditation in savasana) are both incorporated to encourage centering in the physical body through attentiveness to the breath to quiet the mind. Some previous yoga experience is helpful, but not required.

This class is a fusion of vinyasa flows and longer holds of yin yoga. The vinyasa portion will connect breath with movement through asanas, while the yin portion of class will give you a deep stretch to target deep connective tissue. A great combination to fuel your body, mind, and soul. This class is suitable for all levels of experience, with modifications provided.

Book, music, and lyrics by Kirsten Childs • Directed by John Simpkins

Kirsten Childs, 2019 commissioned writer for the New Musicals Initiative, penned the lastest project "The Lucky Boy" based on an adaptation of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale “The Devil with the Three Golden Hairs.” Driven by a need to be eternally revered, King Ambrose tortures and kills citizens who don’t proclaim him adorable. When it’s predicted that an illegal alien baby will grow up to surpass him in adorability, Ambrose finds the child and throws him into a nuclear waste bin. Rogue scientists, defunded by royal order, rescue the baby and name him Lucky. Because of particles of adorabilium in the nuclear waste, he’s now not only immune to radiation poisoning, but he’s ten times more adorable than the King. Eighteen years pass and Lucky has fallen in love with Ambrose’s daughter Vocal Fry. Ambrose consents to the nauseatingly-in-love pair’s marriage—if Lucky can bring Ambrose three golden hairs from the devil’s head!
