Join music, art, literary, and dance historian Victoria Martino in a five-week lecture series, celebrating the 150th anniversary of Diaghilev by rediscovering and redefining the scope of his immeasurable influence on modern culture. Who was Sergei Diaghilev? What did he do? Condemned by his own country as the ultimate exemplar of bourgeois decadence and depravity, he was excised from Soviet cultural history. Yet, in the international world of art, music, dance, and theater, he was revered, even idolized, as the greatest impresario of all time. Creator, critic, curator, Diaghilev played all these roles, defining for many the very meaning of contemporary art in the 20th century. In his role as founder and director of the legendary Ballets Russes, Diaghilev commissioned and patronized a veritable lexicon of artists, choreographers, composers, dancers, and designers: from Matisse to Picasso, Fokine to Massine, Debussy to Stravinsky, Nijinsky to Pavlova, Bakst to Chanel. Date | Tuesday, April 26, 2022 at 7:30pm Location | Athenaeum Music & Arts Library Purchase tickets here! $16-$21 The lectures will be in person at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library.

We all need it. To slow down, sit down, and let our thoughts meet the page. “Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection” is Brene Brown’s newest–and an amazing–resource in which she puts words to eighty-seven emotions and human experiences. Each session, in community, we will work through a few in the book by using timed writing prompts based on each. Sharing is optional. If you’re looking for a bit of “spiritual chiropractic” (as Julia Cameron says), here’s your place for alignment. *Though purchasing “Atlas of the Heart” is highly recommended, it is not required to participate.
