MEANINGFUL MOVEMENT
As our lives become longer and fuller, there is a LOT to process. Improvisational movement offers a creative forum to do this. While this class is not therapy, its' benefits will be
therapeutic and expressive.
This is for persons with some dance experience--ballet, modern, folk, and body-mind awareness--Yoga, T'ai Chi, Laban Effort-Shape, and a functional range of motion. Together we will explore the themes and moments of our lives.
The instructor, Joyce Wolpert, is a registered dance/movement therapist and licensed counselor. The joy of movement and helping others to express themselves has enriched her life.
Call 410-358-6856 to register for two free drop-in classes

Georgia O’Keeffe (1887 – 1996) with Dr. Joseph Casssar
Mondays, October 3 through December 5
No class 10/10 or 10/17
9:30 to 11:00 a.m.
This course focuses on one of the most important American Modern women artists who pioneered a fresh new start in the representation of nature. We focus on her art education at the Arts Students league in New York and her exposure to the ideas of Arthur Wesley Dow. Later she will show her work at Alfred Stieglitz Gallery 291 which will expose her work to a wider appreciative public. The lectures focus on Georgia O’Keeffe’s extensive travels and inspirations, her marriage to Stieglitz in 1924, settling in New Mexico in 1940, and her subsequent exhibitions focusing on flowers, desert landscapes, and depictions of bones. The course provides a critical analysis of an abundance of art works by O’ Keeffe which invite questions and discussion.
Joseph Paul Cassar is an artist, art historian, curator and educator. He is Professor of Art at the University of Maryland Global Campus with the Department of Art and Graphic Communications. He is currently engaged in designing online art courses for the university as well as for the New York Times Knowledge Network. He lectures at the Smithsonian Institution, Johns Hopkins University, Towson University, Notre Dame University of Maryland, at the Hirshhorn Museum, Walters Museum, Baltimore Museum of Art among others. He exhibits his work regularly in Malta and the Baltimore-Washington area. Included with GOLD subscriptions. Please call 410-358-6856 or email info@myerberg.org to register.
