Apr 14 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

Humans are amazing balancing bipeds, but as we get older the balancing act can get more challenging. In this playful and informative workshop we will stimulate the vestibular system, explore the intersection of posture and balance, and learn how we can improve both by tweaking how we think and how we move.  Taught by Eve Bernfeld, Certified teacher of the Alexander Technique.

Portland Film Premiere – Chavruta: A Drummer’s Bat Mitzvah @ Mittleman Jewish Community Center
Apr 16 @ 7:00 pm

Join us for the Portland premiere of this 15-minute documentary short by Jodi Darby. The film follows two Jewish Portland artists, drummer/writer/environmentalist Lisa Schonberg and musician/writer/Jewish educator Alicia Jo Rabins, as they prepare for Lisa’s adult bat mitzvah. The word chavruta refers to the traditional partner-style study of Jewish texts; over the course of one year, the two women delve into a grassroots, feminist, distinctly Portland course of study.

Free, but suggested donation of $5 at the door.

7:00 pm at the MJCC.
