THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29

Universal Design Yoga
9:00–10:45 a.m.

Campbell Student Union Social Hall
Sue Mann Dolce, Julia Kress, Patrick Moltane
Safe. Welcoming. Comfortable. Through a yoga practice, we will engage mind, body, and spirit. Students will be encouraged to do less and feel more, to slow down the turning of the mind and draw their attention inward: to relax. Bring a mat or a towel if you will be working on the floor. Chairs will be available. All are welcome.

Through the Lens: Bruce Fox Reflects on the Anne Frank Project in Rwanda
12:15–1:40 p.m.

Czurles-Nelson Gallery
Bruce Fox, University Photographer
Bruce Fox’s initial intention when traveling with the Anne Frank Project Rwanda trip was to document the students’ experiences. What began in his mind as a photojournalism project quickly grew from telling the students’ stories to telling his own story as well. But his story is not only about genocide. It is about the discovery of a beautiful nation and wonderful people, finding ways to rebuild not only infrastructure but also relationships, all while vowing to never forget the past and never allowing it to happen again.

From Memory
2:00–3:45 p.m.
Campbell Student Union Social Hall
TheatreFiguren - Michele Costa, Kate Stapleton Parzych, Jeremy Spindler, Carra Stratton
Puppetry and music conjure a curious circle, hungry tiger, brave mouse, sweet moment—unforgettable. Here we present a handful of short pieces with diverse, yet similar themes: community, compassion, courage, and contentedness. Whether by leading or simply “not following,” the heroes in each story possess character to be admired and emulated today.

Interactive Workshop
Airi Kohlbach
Explore the meaning of being present by talking through connections between Tiger and Strawberry, and the Circle and Story of Jumping Mouse, which are presented in the performance. Discover and learn about embracing the present moment throughout the workshop. Learn the difference between remembering the memories and clinging to the past.
