SUMMARY:Love on the Magpie Bridge
DESCRIPTION:Love on the Magpie Bridgeis a poetic drama thatcombines poetry\, music\, dance\, acting and games to tell the Chinese legend of the Weaver goddess and a Cowherd. Their love for each other angered the goddess’ mother. She separated the lovers by creating a river of stars. Only once a year the lovers may reunite\, thanks to the sacrifice of the cow god and the compassion and ingenuity of the magpies. \nNight of Sevens\, dated back 2600 years ago\, is celebrated on the Seventh day of the Seventh Month in the Chinese calendar. During this day\, fruits\, flowers and special cakes are prepared. Women go to the temples to pay respect to the Weaver Goddess and to plead for domestic skills. The cow god and the magpies are also honored as they played crucial roles in the legend. \nIn 2019 Night of Sevens falls on August 7. Love on the Magpie Bridgeprovides a mid-year cultural reflection on the connection between human and nature and reverence for our animal friends. \nOn Sunday August 11\, a costumed parade on the street will follow at the conclusion of the play. All are welcome! \nLove on the Magpie Bridgeis performed by the music students and friends of Clarion Performing Arts Center. The production is conceived\, written and produced by Clara Hsu.

SUMMARY:Eves at the Beat
DESCRIPTION:During Women’s History month a constellation of events brought together a group of fabulous womxn+ writers. The meeting of these hearts and minds exploded into something powerful and a new monthly reading series concept was born\, “Eves at the Beat”. \nJoin us for our July event\, curated by Nicole Noel\, Thursday July 11th\, 2019 at 7:30pm. \nNOTE: This event is normally on first Thursdays\, but has been moved to the second Thursday of July to accommodate the holiday. \nJuly lineup as follows:\nShizue Seigel\nAnanda Esteva\n@Aquileia Lewis\nAries JPoeticgoddess\nNatasha Dennerstein\nJanice Blaze Rocke\nGina Goldblatt\nClara Hsu \n“Eves at the Beat” is a monthly first Thursday reading series at The Beat Museum with occasional readings in Kerouac Alley featuring womxn and non-binary people. Each first Thursday there will be a new curator and MC invited from the previous month. This will give many people the opportunity to step into these roles and make the culture of the readings more equitable and circular\, rather than hierarchal. \nThis is a donation based event. We will pass a hat so bring a contribution for the readers. \nWe will also be accepting packages of dry goods\, new socks\, and sanitary items for the local homeless community.
