Flock Dance Troupe -- Museum Pieces III
Thursday, February 6, 6pm. Free!
A new dance performance by Flock Dance Troupe, choreographed by its founding director, Carol Langstaff, will take place at AVA on Thursday, February 6, at 6:00pm. Entitled Museum Pieces III, the performance builds on Museum Pieces I & II, performed at AVA in 2012 and 2013, respectively.
Of the February 6 performance, Langstaff observes: "Dance is music made visual, sculpture in motion. Dance and fine art communicate without words."
The performance will be followed by light refreshments and the opportunity to view AVA's current exhibitions.

The Mudroom -- A Quarterly Social Gathering
Seeking Storytelling Submissions for "Spring Fling" on March 13
The Mudroom, an initiative modeled after NPR's The Moth Radio Hour, is designed as a social gathering for adults in the Upper Valley, offering an opportunity to meet new people, connect with friends, and to hear amazing real-life stories that might otherwise go unshared.
The first and second gatherings of this quarterly program were extraordinary - the stories were compelling and the atmosphere was lively, with good music, conversation, and refreshments before and amidst the storytelling. We thank all our storytellers for the enthusiastic sharing of their tales.
The next Mudroom will be on March 13. The evening's theme will be brought to life as five pre-selected individuals share personal accounts of a "Spring Fling." Please join us for a memorable evening!
If you would like to share a story, please click here to email us.
Open to the public, adults only please. Refreshments will be available. $5 Admission.
