Workshop | Winter Wellness Wednesday: Hot HIIT Workshop


Hot HIIT is a training system that combines High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), muscle toning and cardio in a heated room. This practice promotes long, lean mus­cle mass while burning fat, with rapid results. It strengthens your core, improves cir­cu­la­tion, and increases flex­i­bil­ity. The 60-minute class is per­formed on a yoga mat. All movements are low impact, which protects your joints and mus­cles from the pound­ing of other exer­cises like run­ning and jumping. It is a full body workout paired with upbeat music. You will gain health and flexibility and train your muscles to work together. Consistent practice will lead to good posture and strength throughout your body. PLEASE NOTE: Please arrive at least 15 min early Wear something you feel comfortable sweating in Arrive well hydrated, bring water or purchase at the studio Bring your own lock or purchase for $5 at the studio

Screening | Perspectives on Peace Presents: Beyond Combat


AC4 will screen a summary clip of the award-winning documentary Disturbing the Peace, followed by a facilitated discussion with two former combatants, an Israeli and a Palestinian, who have come together to work toward peace and justice. The film follows former enemy combatants from both sides of the divide, chronicling their transformational journeys from soldiers committed to armed conflict into nonviolent peace activists. Both the film and guest presenters will speak on behalf of the work of Combatants for Peace, an egalitarian, bi-national, grassroots organization that was founded on the belief that the cycle of violence can only be broken when Israelis and Palestinians join forces. Combatants for Peace is one of a handful of organizations, worldwide, in which former fighters on both sides of an active conflict have laid down their weapons and chosen to work together.

Discussion | Revise and Extend: Jane Alexander for Arts in America


In October 1997, after four years fighting for federal government support of art in America, Jane Alexander resigned as chairperson of the National Endowment for the Arts. During her four-year term, as fierce critics worked to eliminate her agency, Alexander tirelessly championed the NEA’s cause through congressional hearings, television interviews, and appearances in communities across the United States. Twenty years later, the NEA is threatened again. Now untethered by office or protocol, Tony Award winning actress and author Jane Alexander comes to the library to respond again to the enemies of the NEA. For this unconventional and timely interview, each question is composed from exactly quoted statements by Jesse Helms, Dick Armey, Newt Gingrich and other conservative culture warriors of the 1990s.
