"The 2 Sides Project" Documentary (Feature-length)
2019-07-14 14:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | Del Ray Artisans Gallery, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, VA, 22301, United States
The 2 Sides Project (view trailer) is an award-winning documentary film, now airing on PBS stations across the U.S and available on PBS online, that follows the unforgettable journey of six U.S. sons and daughters as they discover a country and a people with a shared history.
Over 11 days in December 2015, American and Vietnamese sons and daughters—who had all lost fathers fighting on opposite sides of the war — met for the first time. The film captures the entire story, not just the transformative two sides encounters, but the profoundly moving experiences these Americans had while visiting the sites where their fathers died, and the powerful encounters they had with the country itself.
Anthony Istrico, of Istrico Productions, and his team are exhibiting still photos and stories from their Vietnam experiences in Del Ray Artisans’ gallery from July 11 – July 14, 2019. During this exhibit, there will be two showings of the documentary film, followed by Q & A:

PBS version (56 minutes) on Saturday, July 13 from 7-8:30pm
Feature-length film (101 minutes) on Sunday, July 14 from 2-4pm

The showings are free and open to the public, but space is limited. Register in advance to reserve your seat. Donations are appreciated.

Brazilian zouk is a partner dance from Brazil characterized by flowy, circular movements. The beginner classes will cover the foundations of the dance, including basic steps, timing, and connection. Brazilian zouk derived from Brazilian lambada. Following the lambada craze, people began dancing lambada steps to slower paced music from the French Caribbean called zouk. Thus, Brazilian zouk was born! The dance continues to evolve today and can be danced to a variety of music.
Students can expect to learn the basic steps of Brazilian zouk as well as timing. Class can be a standalone, or a series of beginner classes if there is interest in a 4-week series.
Comfortable clothing and comfortable shoes (i.e., able to pivot in them!) recommended for attendees.

CANCELED: Creative Identity: The Art of Affirming Your Inner Creative

Instructor: Sharon Burton

(Register by August 18)
Do you ever question if you are “really” a talented artist or creative? Do you feel that you have an inner artist or creative inside but need help coaxing it out? Do you feel discouraged about your talents if your work is rejected by others?
Affirmation can help! Positive affirmations are great messages to have around an art studio, office or creative space as reminders of your creative talents.
During this engaging and interactive workshop, we will explore our core beliefs about being creative and where it comes from, address our negative self-talk as creatives, learn the benefits of affirmations, and how to create our own affirmations. We will also engage in an interactive creative exercise to help us to continue to focus on our affirmations to support our creative muse. You don’t have to be an artist to participate! Bring your creative passion and an open mind!
Participants will:

Identify negative self-talk and messaging regarding their identity as a creative person.
Write affirmations that will help them neutralize their self-talk and messaging about their creativity identity, passion and gifts.
Learn how to use affirmations when they are stuck or uninspired as they move into claiming (or reclaiming) their creative identity.

Supplies will be provided, but students are also encouraged to bring your favorite old magazines or images for the creative exercise.
