Performing Arts
DISCOVER
Rhiannon Giddens
An NPR Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
Another concert from NPR’s Tiny Desk . This concert features Rhiannon Giddens and her partner Francesco Turrisi performing during their recent shelter-in-place in Ireland.

For this concert, Rhiannon turns to the old songs rather than originals “cause with these emotions, the old songs say it best.” They begin the performance with an old spiritual and end with a bit of a jig. This is a fun listen from a beautiful voice.
Cultural Arts & Trips
DESTINATION
Oslo, Norway
Let’s stay up north again this week, this time, with a visit to one of my favorite parks. Filled with intriguing and thought-provoking masterpieces, Vigeland Park —the world’s largest sculpture park with works by a single artist —features 212 pieces by Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland. Called “The Weirdest Statues in the World” by The Daily Mail, the park includes “everything from a woman embracing a giant lizard to a naked man fighting flying babies, and everything in between.”
Take a 5-minute video walk through the park.
Take a 4-minute photo walk through the park.
Read a short biography on Vigeland.

Ada Twist's Color-Changing Lemonade Lab
An absolute favorite Camp Kehillah book and activity combo — Ada Twist, Scientist and Ada Twist's Color-Changing Lemonade Lab .

If you and your loved ones are looking for a fun story that includes a fun project to go with it, look no further! During the upcoming summer months, we can all use a fun drink to help cool us down, and what better drink than a fun, scientific twist on a summer classic? Turn your lemonade three different colors and enjoy this unique sweet and tangy drink! Have so much fun discovering the secret ingredient and before conducting your experiment , make a hypothesis (an educated guess) about what you think might happen and in what order.

We would love to see your creations. Feel free to upload your photos to Facebook and tag us: Marin JCC Camp Kehillah!
Entertainment
You'll be fascinated!
At last, my personal role model, Mae West, gets a detailed documentary worthy of her outrageous career and life! Bette Midler executive produced the PBS American Masters series.  Mae West: Dirty Blonde proves that when Mae figured out that when she was bad, she was better, it shook our culture up. During eight decades of the 20 th century, she climbed the ladder of success in theatre, books, and movies “wrong by wrong.” For the first time we see how she realized she could attract women to her persona, as well as make a comment on gender equality, societal restrictions, and moral hypocrisy. She lived life her way, and it is well worth coming up and seeing her in this fine documentary some time.
Hail, Caesar! is a comedy and something we can all use these days. Though this is one of Joel and Ethen Coen’s lesser-seen films, it is fun and enlightening about showbiz history. Josh Brolin stars as studio head Eddie Mannix, one of my favorite classic Hollywood characters. George Clooney is his dim-witted superstar, kidnapped by a group of angry screenwriters. Look for Channing Tatum in a gay-Gene-Kelly-inspired-sailor-musical number, a funny Scarlett Johansson as a swimming star, and Ralph Fiennes perfectly cast as an outraged director. A good time and a good comedy. Netflix.
Get ready to be outraged at the life and career of Roy Cohn.  Bully, Coward, Victim: The Story of Roy Cohn  is a detailed study of a notorious and hated man, able to create chaos and hatred inside and outside the courtroom. Directed by the granddaughter of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, persecuted by Cohn, the film uses recently unearthed audio and video moments showing us a self-hating Jew and unapologetic spite. From his key role in the Senator McCarthy hearings to the influence on our current President, this is one documentary not to miss.  Available on cineticmedia.com or google for more information. HBO.
