Dance Freedom for February 10: Dance Freedom's format is essentially the same every Wednesday night. Around 6:30 pm people who have volunteered to setup the room meet and are instructed by a setup coordinator as to where what and how to setup for the dance. The first half DJ and Facilitator for the night usually chip in too. At 7:30 pm the setup is complete and the dance has officially started. First there is a warm-up session which last until around 7:50 pm. The warm-up session frequently consists of soft DJ music and there is very little dancing. Then the Facilitator for the night gets everyone together for the first dance. Everyone gathers around a centerpiece and holds hands and dances around to soft music for a song. That's when the First half of the DJ dance begins. Around 8:50 pm The first half is complete and everyone gathers around again and sits. This part of the night is called the Middle and it usually lasts about a half hour. This is an opportunity for introductions and community announcements to happen. Usually there is also a "Middle" which consists of a volunteered artistic performance from someone in the community. Once the announcements and/or Middle performance is over, at around 9:20 pm. The Facilitator asks the dancers to stand and she leads them in another circle dance to open up the Second half of dancing. The second half of dancing lasts until around 10:25 pm, at which point there is one final circle dance to complete the night. The dancers are always encouraged to help take-down at this point so that we can be out of the space by 11PM.

On The Cutting Edge: The group will watch a documentary, have a discussion on the film itself at the conclusion of the screening. Then delve into some movie talk with a film critic, documentary filmmaker, or an historian, etc. If you have a passion for movies and don't mind endless chatter about 'undiscovered documentaries', then fellow film fans I proudly welcome you to my Meetup. Cinematic Calendar: Opening Night Screening Thursday, February 11, 2010 at 7pm Helvetica (2007) Directed & Produced by Gary Hustwit http://www.helveticafilm.com/ Helvetica is a documentary film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. An exploration of urban spaces and the type that inhabits them, Helvetica, invites us to take a second look at the thousands of words we see every day. In Helvetica, include some of the most illustrious and innovative names in the design world: Erick Spiekermann, Matthew Carter, Massimo Vignelli, Wim Crouwel, Hermann Zapt, Neville Brody, Stefan Sagmeister, Michael Bierut, David Carson, Paula Scher, Jonathan Hoefler, Experimental Jetset, and Lars Muller, amongst so many others. Upcoming Events: (TBA) Tom Dowd & The Language of Music (2003) A film by Mark Moorann http://www.thelanguageofmusic.com/ (From NPR's "Weekend Edition Interview") A man who seemingly fit many lives into one lifetime, Tom Dowd was born on October 20, 1925 in New York City. At a young age he excelled in mathematics and physics, leading to his work from the ages of 16 to 20 on the Manhattan Project at Columbia University. In 1946, as a sergeant in the Army Corps of Engineers, he oversaw a team of radiation detection specialists at the atomic bomb tests in Bikini Atoll. After his discharge from Army, he soon began applying his science background to help revolutionize the process of recording music. While working for Atlantic Records, his pioneering work in binaural stereo recording, and later his design of the eight-track console, modernized the recording industry. Tom Dowd produced and engineered timeless records for artists including Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonius Monk, Cream, Rod Stewart, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers Band, Dusty Springfield and countless other celebrated musicians. Dowd also formed both strong professional and personal relationships with many of these artists, including Eric Clapton, starting with Cream and leading to their working partnership on Layla and Other Assorted Loves Songs and collaborations on several of Clapton's finest solo albums. In tribute to one of the greatest names in music (October 20, 1925 - October 27, 2002) forever will be remembered. Little Dieter Needs to Fly (1997) A film by Werner Herzog (Source: Wikipedia.org) Herzog found a kindred spirit in German-American Navy pilot and Vietnam veteran, Dieter Dengler. Like Herzog, Dengler grew up in a Germany reduced to rubble by World War II. Dengler's stories of hunger and deprivation in the years after the war echo similar stories from Herzog's past. Dengler recounts an early memory of Allied fighter-bombers destroying his village in which he saw one of the pilots and knew that he too wanted to be a pilot. At 18, then, Dengler emigrated to America. He served a 2-year enlistment in the Air Force, but was frustratingly unable to gain a pilot's slot in that service. After leaving the Air Force, Dengler attended college and then joined the Navy. After completing flight training, he was assigned as an A-1 Skyraider pilot in Attack Squadron 65 on the USS Constellation. In 1966, Dengler served aboard the USS Ranger (CV-61) with VA-145 (Attack Squadron 145). At the time, the squadron was equipped with the Douglas AD-6/A-1H Skyraider, a single engine, propeller driven attack plane. On the morning of 1 February, Lt. Dengler launched from the Ranger with three other aircraft on an interdiction mission near the Laotian border. Visibility was poor due to weather, and upon rolling in on the target, Lt. Dengler and the remainder of his flight lost sight of one another. Dengler was the last man in and was hit by anti-aircraft fire. He was forced to crash-land his Skyraider in Laos. Dengler was taken prisoner by the Pathet Lao, before being turned over to soldiers of the Army of North Vietnam. After a period of torture and starvation chained to the bottom of a bamboo cage, Dengler escaped. The bulk of the film consists of footage from a trip Herzog took with Dengler back to Laos and Thailand to recreate his ordeal. Herzog hired locals to play the part of his captors and had Dengler retrace his steps while describing his experiences. Out-of-Print Film Festival Founder, Daniel Berman (TBA) In the summer wanted to open a gathering of films that have found there way to that magnificent film reel in the sky (honestly, don't have all of the details edged in stone yet) but thinking about my own innovative film festival. Recently, taking a glance at the Criterion Collection and noticed at least a dozen memorable contemporary works that no longer on VHS or DVD. In one instant, it came to me in a flash an Out-of-Print Film Festival that remembers movies you've seen once but never again, here is your second opportunity. At some point in a filmgoers life they experience something (now not just anyone can just know unless they are a film fanatic). You've seen a movie, you get up from your seat, and you come to the realization that you have to see that again, but never get around to doing just that. Well, 'Out-of-Print' takes these outstanding pictures and brings them back from out of nostalgia to the bright lights of the big screen. The Cult of the Suicide Bomber (2005) Robert Baer http://www.disinfo.com Modern-day suicide bombers who strike fear into the heart of Western cities are a relatively recent phenomenon. The Cult of the Suicide Bomber reveals the secret history of the suicide bomber, from the child martyrs of the Iran-Iraq war, the truck bombers in southern Lebanon, to the young men and women who now strap explosives to their and calmly blow up themselves and hundreds of others in the streets of the Middle East. Former CIA spy, Robert Baer, returns to his former center of operations, the Middle East, to trace the origins of the modern day bomber. There is no good news here for the fearful and uncertain in the west, but Baer does present a clear landscape of where and how the "pathological virus" has thrived and how the notions of honorand glory emerged. In this groundbreaking documentary, Baer reveals the fascinating truth of the world's first suicide bomber, 13-year-old Hossein Fahmideh - who was martyred in the Iran-Iraq war and is now a hero in Iran - and visits his highly decorated grave in the graveyard of martyrs just outside Tehran. Gala Event A Banner Year for Independent Film - "Ten Best Named" Documentaries of the Year (TBA) An Interview with Documentary Filmmaker Robert Gardner Executive Producer, Daniel Berman (BATV) in association with Worldly Film Productions For the first time on screen anywhere in the world a genuine and thought provoking look into the contemporary works of one of the greatest minds in doc cinema. Within his archive -- numerous pieces from his early start with Blunden Harbour, (1951) Dances of the Kwakiutl, also (1951) Mark Tobey, (1952) The Hunters, (1957) then, eight years later, came Dead Birds, (1965). On the highly popular movie program A Time to Review I got to sit down with the former Director of the Film Study Center at Harvard University from (1957 - 1997) two years ago. Gardner thrives in the world of visual anthropology his work is filming life from ancient cultures. In the 1970's, he hosted a WGBH program entitled The Screening Room as he recognized many legendary talents of doc cinema. I'm proud to annouce that this episode will premeire on the big screen this summer. The Power to the People: Blaxploitation Cinema (1960 - 1970) A.K.A.

Dance Freedom for February 17: Dance Freedom's format is essentially the same every Wednesday night. Around 6:30 pm people who have volunteered to setup the room meet and are instructed by a setup coordinator as to where what and how to setup for the dance. The first half DJ and Facilitator for the night usually chip in too. At 7:30 pm the setup is complete and the dance has officially started. First there is a warm-up session which last until around 7:50 pm. The warm-up session frequently consists of soft DJ music and there is very little dancing. Then the Facilitator for the night gets everyone together for the first dance. Everyone gathers around a centerpiece and holds hands and dances around to soft music for a song. That's when the First half of the DJ dance begins. Around 8:50 pm The first half is complete and everyone gathers around again and sits. This part of the night is called the Middle and it usually lasts about a half hour. This is an opportunity for introductions and community announcements to happen. Usually there is also a "Middle" which consists of a volunteered artistic performance from someone in the community. Once the announcements and/or Middle performance is over, at around 9:20 pm. The Facilitator asks the dancers to stand and she leads them in another circle dance to open up the Second half of dancing. The second half of dancing lasts until around 10:25 pm, at which point there is one final circle dance to complete the night. The dancers are always encouraged to help take-down at this point so that we can be out of the space by 11PM.
