This one-hour class is a great way to let go of the stress built up during the week. Class will start with a nourishing guided pranayama practice to calm our bodies and bring us into the present moment. From there we will gently and intuitively move into a slower paced flow where we will hold each posture for a few breaths and focus on position and alignment. Slowly as the class progresses we will build heat as we work through more challenging postures. Finally we will cool the body as we come into a well-deserved savasana. This class is friendly to all yoga levels.

Join us for a reading of Fortunately by Rhemy Charlip. After the story, we will explore the engineering design process by making parachutes. Science Story Time allows young scientists to develop literacy and STEM skills as well as build vocabulary by actively participating in the program. Activities designed for ages 3-6. All welcome. Materials are not necessary, but feel free to have items such as a plastic bag, paper coffee filters, tape, string, and a single hole punch on hand. Clothespins or small figurines work well for your parachuting “person.”

The IU Muslim Voices Project is honored to have Nada Al-Ahdal as the second speaker in our Voices of Muslim Women: Global Perspectives series.

The show will feature three bodies of work: Christopher Elam of Omosaico Studios with Mosaic ‘translations’ of his son Felix’s drawings, Christie Cooper Ceramics will show a sampling of her work alongside some student creations, and a collection of works from emerging young artists in the community. There will be works for sale.

building has a brand new needlepoint bipolar ionization system for air purification and weather
permitting, we will open large garage doors to the outside for more airflow. We understand that even

Long before she was the chart-topping music legend Carole King, she was Carol Klein, a Brooklyn girl with passion and chutzpah. She fought her way into the record business as a teenager, and by the time she reached her 20s, had the husband of her dreams and a flourishing career writing hits for the biggest acts in rock n’ roll. But it wasn’t until her personal life began to crack that she finally managed to find her true voice.

For five years, Beautiful, the Tony and Grammy Award-winning Carole King musical, has thrilled Broadway with the inspiring true story of one woman’s remarkable journey from teenage songwriter to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Featuring over two dozen pop classics, including “You’ve Got a Friend,” “One Fine Day,” “Up on the Roof,” “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling,” “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” and “Natural Woman,” this crowd-pleasing international phenomenon is filled with the songs you remember and a story you’ll never forget! Carole herself performed some of these songs live on the IU Auditorium stage over two nights in 1976 and having this musical as part of our celebration of IU’s Bicentennial commemorates a music legend that graced our stage over 40 years ago.
