“The science of Yoga tells us that we are all geniuses if we try hard to be… The same power is in everyone.” Swami Vivekananda

Contemplation is a tool that helps us to live our life from the inside and then live it outwardly more effectively. Neuroscientists state that increased blood flow to a given part of the brain is related to heightened activity in that particular area. In this ongoing monthly workshop series the Hub-Bub Artists-in-Residence will collaborate to offer art classes that are meant to aid in approaching creativity from a deeper place. The workshops will begin with a short yoga and meditation practice, lead by Corinne, which will focus on a theme related to the medium we will all be working in (writing, painting, mixed media, sculpture, and installation). The remaining time will be spent working on a specific art project led by a different AiR each time.

Amigos de los Amigos by Antonio Garza - 9/22/10 - Wednesday

7:00 pm - 8:00 pm


Antonio Garza is an award winning writer and performer. His debut one-man show was produced in theater festivals in the US and at L'ogress Theatre in Paris. His essays and stories have appeared in magazines in jounals in the US and Mexico. He is also the founder of Amigos de los Amigos, a peformance and social club that puts on an annual Cinco de Mayo parade. (www.amigosdelosamigos.org)

As Antonio Garza narrates tense and side-splitting experiences from his summer in the Palestinian occupied territories and Israel, he irreverently sees the conflict through a Mexican colored glasses. He openly explores his own loyalties (yes, a love interest or two are involved) as he tries to ask the big questions: In this conflict, who are the gringos? Who are the mojados? Is hummus just a hippie friendly form of refried beans?  His answers will keep you laughing and make you think.
