Tompkins Corners Cultural Center will offer its first Acting Improvisation Workshop for Teens, led by Charise Greene, actor, director, professional coach, teacher, and playwright. Charise has helped young people prepare monologues for B.F.A. programs, H.S. theater and professional auditions, and has taught acting and voice/speech at universities and training programs across the U.S. She has worked as a voice/dialect coach on sets for Showtime, Amazon, Hulu, HBO, Netflix, Apple TV, NBC, CBS, and many films. She also stars in Full Disclosure, which has been an official selection at fourteen film festivals and is still riding the festival circuit.  In this hour-and-a-half workshop, students will work with Charise to open the voice and body for playful improv. Relaxation, listening, responding, saying "yes," and building the blocks of story are all taught and practiced as a group in this fun and energetic class. A warm-up will be taught, and games will be employed to free up the imagination. Whether you're new to improvisation or practiced at it, this class will be like a gym for the creative mind and body. The practice is helpful to artists of any medium, athletes seeking to sharpen instincts, and stressed-out students who want to let go and release into a simpler and more playful self. Get ready to jump in and have fun! The cost of the Workshop is $30 per student, $24 for siblings, and pre-registration is required. Register HERE.

Tompkins Corners Cultural Center will host an artist's reception for "Many Moons," a multi-media exhibition featuring the work of award-winning Black/Indigenous artist Dennis RedMoon Darkeem. Meet the artist and learn about his work. Refreshments will be served.  As a visual exploration of identity, the exhibit invites viewers to contemplate the intersections of heritage and modernity.  Darkeem achieves this with a dynamic fusion of paintings, photography, collage, and sound. These elements all connect to land and water as Darkeem uncovers historical ties between Black and Indigenous cultures and the intricate history of the USA. His Yamassee Yat’siminoli and African-American cultural heritage inspire his aesthetic. Darkeem holds a BFA and MFA from Pratt Institute and is the former Curatorial Director of The Points “Live on the Edge” art gallery in the South Bronx. An acclaimed exhibitor, his work has been shown throughout the NY area, including at MoMA, Penn Station, Bronx Museum of Arts, Queens Museum of Art, New Museum, Derfner Judaica Museum, Wave Hill, and was an artist-in-residence at ArtOmi in 2023.  https://www.dennisredmoondarkeem.com/

Established in 1818 by Gouverneur Kemble and others, the West Point Foundry became a major industrial site in the United States and manufactured iron products. Its most famous production was the Parrott cannon. It was designed by Robert Parker Parrott and was a dramatic improvement in the Union Army’s weapons technology during the Civil War. The remains of this incredible industrial plant have worn down over the years, but they still tell an amazing story of what was once the center of America’s Industrial Revolution. Join Putnam History Museum Staff on a guided tour and learn about the history of this incredible site, now preserved as Scenic Hudson’s West Point Foundry Preserve, a National Historic Landmark.

She is roughly one-third of the way through her journey, aiming to create one new painting each month. Birds afforded Shakespeare a rich metaphorical palette, with references appearing everywhere from Juliette’s words of love to Romeo, to the three witches’ ominous incantation in “Macbeth”. Dunaway’s beautiful, ingenious paintings incorporate not only the birds, but also the botanical elements of their habitats and the allegorical and mythological allusions that make them so meaningful in Shakespeare’s work. Missy Dunaway is a 2010 Arts and Humanities graduate of Carnegie Mellon University. Among her many awards have been a Folger Institute Fellowship which supported, in part, her Shakespeare project, and a Fulbright Fellowship. Her thus-far completed bird paintings can be viewed at this link: Birds of Shakespeare

Are you tired of trying different diets and not getting sustainable results? What works for one person does not work for someone else--that's because we have different metabolisms.Instead of focusing on calories, different diets, or exercise routines, it is more important to know what your metabolism is doing. Based on that, you can pick the foods that work best for you.During this 4 week journey led by Dr. Chiti Parikh, all participants will wear a continuous glucose monitor to gain better insight into their metabolism. Each week will have specific instructions on using that information while optimizing your diet, sleep, exercise, and stress management routine.This session is a good fit for anyone looking to optimize their weight or address prediabetes or early diabetes.Pre-requisites: The sensors will cost around $75 for 2 sensors with insurance and $140 without insurance. You will also need a smartphone to use the app associated with this event, Veri, which is $39 a month. A certain level of comfort with technology is needed to navigate the information and use the sensors.Course Schedule: 1-hour Group Session Wednesdays from 4pm-5pmSession 1: April 10, 2024Session 2: April 17, 2024Session 3: April 24, 2024Session 4: May 1, 2024We accept most insurances.

Join Hudson River Sloop Clearwater for a two-hour hike at Teatown Lake Reservation Nature Preserve to see examples of watershed protective management practices and learn about watershed protection. The program will feature Emily Edmonds-Langham from Teatown, and Tyler Van Fleet and Jessica Alba from the Watershed Agricultural Council who, throughout the walk, will explore the connections between forest health and watershed protection. Trees and forests are critical to healthy watersheds as they provide important functions including filtering rainwater and runoff and preventing erosion. Please remember to dress for the weather and wear sturdy walking shoes or boots. Due to the presence of ticks, we recommend that you wear long, light-colored pants and socks. We also suggest bringing a hat, sunscreen, and a full reusable water bottle. Parking is available on site – please note, for non-Teatown members, the cost of parking is $7. A note on hike difficulty, trails at Teatown can range from easy to moderate, including uneven terrain. The program will require walking/standing for 2 hours. With questions about this hike or general inquiries about this hike or the Hike and Learn program more broadly, e-mail Jen Benson at [email protected]. Hudson River Sloop Clearwater’s Hike and Learn program seeks to bring together Hudson River experts (scientists, advocates, planners, etc) and community members for formal and informal conversations about the science, history, and future of the Hudson River. This program is sponsored by the Maurice D. Hinchey Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area. Learn more about the Maurice D.

On August 27th and September 4th, 1949, violence broke out at two concerts held outside Peekskill, NY, headlined by black singer, actor, and activist Paul Robeson. Citizens of Peekskill, galvanized by racist and anti-Semitic sentiments and disdain for Robeson’s left-wing views and campaign for civil rights, started two riots that resulted in hundreds of injuries, made national news, and unofficially marked the beginning of the McCarthy era, which would nearly erase Robeson from the public consciousness. Who was he? What did he do? What did he stand for? These questions must be answered in order to understand what brought him to Peekskill.  Produced by Putnam Valley Documentarian Jon Scott Bennett, this first episode of a five-part docu-series serves not only as an introduction to the story of the concerts but also introduces the headlining performer, Paul Robeson, the first and last casualty of The Peekskill Riots. Q&A with Jon Scott Bennett will follow. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased HERE or at the door. Refreshments will be served.
