We’ve added an exciting new class focusing on core exercises and strengthening movements. Great for all body types and a great class to start in the Spring. Bonnie, with her many years of training teaches a class you won’t forget. Saturdays at 9 AM. Come get in shape!
A few things happening, one real soon. This weekend, if you are in Tucson, come see two of my documentaries at the Screening Room.
The Screening Room presents two award-winning films by Kathryn Ferguson
Rita of the Sky and The Unholy Tarahumara
Rita of the Sky is a documentary about Rita, a mysterious woman who was erroneously placed in a Kansas mental hospital because her unrecognized native language was described as “guttural noises” of a mentally ill person. It has screened at the Arizona International Film Festival (Best Documentary, Best of Arizona), Cherokee Nation International Film Festival (Best Documentary), Boston Latino International Film Festival, and LA Femme Film Festival, Los Angeles. Borderlands Theater produced a play about Rita called The Woman Who Fell from the Sky. The play just completed its 250th world presentation in Mexico City.The Unholy Tarahumara is a gorgeous non-traditional documentary about two Tarahumara families. If you want to know about the Sierra Madre and gain an unseen intimate view of Tarahumara life, this film is a must-see. It screened in 13 film festivals in the U.S. and Europe.
Saturday, March 6, at 7:00 PM The Unholy Tarahumara (57 minutes)
8:15 PM Rita of the Sky (74 minutes)
Sunday, March 7, at 2:00 PM Rita of the Sky, followed by a lively panel discussion about creating a play versus a documentary about Rita with Kathryn Ferguson, Barclay Goldsmith (executive director Borderlands Theater), and Mike Wilson ( Tohono O’odham community activist).
Cost: $5.00 per film
