ARTIST AFTERNOON: The Feldenkrais method WITH igor shteynberg
wednesday, MAY 23 | 1:30PM - 3:00pm | GUILD HALL
The Feldenkrais method is a practical approach to improving health and well-being. Through gentle, easy movement and awareness, we can improve posture, balance and coordination, reduce stress and muscular tension. It’s also great way to address long term issues, such as chronic pain, tight muscles, or overall feeling of being stuck or limited in your movement. As an actor you will be able to appreciate an increased awareness of the subtle details of your movement and body language.
Igor Shteynberg became a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner in 2011. In addition to his private practice, Igor works with Field Center For Children’s Integrated Development.
FREE but space is limited and registration is REQUIRED.

Broadway book club: Hag-seed BY margaret atwood
Monday, june 4 | 2PM - 4pm| GUILD HALL
Brush up your Atwood! This month, we'll delve into Margaret Atwood's Hag-seed, a retelling of William Shakespeare's The Tempest.
Felix is at the top of his game as Artistic Director of the Makeshiweg Theatre Festival. His productions have amazed and confounded. Now he's staging a Tempest like no other: not only will it boost his reputation, it will heal emotional wounds.
Or that was the plan. Instead, after an act of unforeseen treachery, Felix is living in exile in a backwoods hovel, haunted by memories of his beloved lost daughter, Miranda. And also brewing revenge.
After twelve years, revenge finally arrives in the shape of a theatre course at a nearby prison. Here, Felix and his inmate actors will put on his Tempest and snare the traitors who destroyed him. It's magic! But will it remake Felix as his enemies fall?
FREE- open to anyone who has read the book
