2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Little Building
Charles Beard Room, 2nd Floor

This is the second of two mandatory meetings for all confirmed Spring 2013 Kasteel Well Students [you only need to attend one].

Many relevant topics will be discussed including what to bring, travel, housing, expenses, classes, passports and visas, etc. Each participant will also receive a packet of handouts. Remember, attendance at one of these meetings is mandatory. Please make note of the dates and make every effort to attend.

If you have a class conflict during both meetings and you cannot make it to either one of them, let us know and we will arrange a one-hour make-up session for you here in our office. You should not be missing class to attend a Kasteel Well Program meeting. The make-up session will last about 1 hour. There is a lot of information to remember and to consider.

We look forward to seeing you there.

This is a repeat of a session held Wednesday evening from 6 - 8 pm in the Charles Beard Room.

Sequence 8

10/04/12
7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Cutler Majestic Theatre
See artsemerson.org for ticket pricing information

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Sequence 8. After blowing the minds of Boston audiences with PSY, Les 7 doigts de la main returns with their sixth and newest creation, Sequence 8, giving Boston another chance to witness their incredible movement-based artistry. Placing extraordinary acrobatics in ordinary contexts, in Sequence 8 emotions heighten until they spring into action and relationships transform and evolve until they create actual velocity. Set not in a specific time or place but rather on a vertical canvas of sorts, this acrobatic dance and theatre piece contemplates the role of the "other," and how we define ourselves through and against it. For their 10th anniversary production, Les 7 doigts de la main combines explosive physical exploits with a thoughtful depiction of human relationships for an unforgettable performance.
