Veil Magic: A Bellydance Choreography

One of the most beloved props in the bellydance world, the veil is fun to learn and impossible to miss onstage. In this 8 week series, students will learn an intermediate level choreography to a slow and enchanting song, “Darigh Nur” by Mario Krilis. Teacher Charlotte Louise has won or played in multiple competition settings with pieces that showcase her veil skills.

Classes will be every Wednesday from February 13th-April 3rd from 6:30pm. Cost is $90. Students who are performing may be asked to attend some additional rehearsals at no cost.

FAQs:

Do I need a veil?
Charlotte has veils to borrow! However, you are welcome to purchase your own veil. A 3 yard silk veil is recommended.

Will there be performance opportunities?
Yes! There will be two performance opportunities. One in Asheville at Asheville Follies, and one in Jacksonville, Florida at the River City Raqs festival. Details for both will be discussed at length. Performance is always optional and never required!

What will the costuming be?
For performances, effort will be made to keep costs low. Bellydance costumes will be worn in warm colors and students are encouraged to use what they already own.

Bowled Over: How to Create Visual Interest on Simple Forms

Laurie Caffery Harris

Wednesdays 6:30-9pm
January 9- February 27

Bowls are often overlooked by potters because they are such a simple form, but they have so much potential! In this intermediate level class, we will explore bowls of all sizes and shapes on the potter’s wheel to create forms that reflect your unique style. We will also discuss and practice surface design through mishima (slip inlay), painting, and sgraffito carving. By the end of the session we will have made pieces that are not only visually interesting, but accurately represent your personal style and sensibilities.

Level: Intermediate and Advanced
Tuition: $310 + $50 Lab Fee

During this discussion we will cover the basics of Cause-Oriented Efficiency. The agenda will consist of 20-30 minute intro to how it works. Then, we’ll start using our cause which was picked in advance to start laying out potential solutions. Picking one or more solutions to take home and build cases for and against.

2019’s Themes: (updated as they are determined)

Feb 20 – Game of Thrones
Feb 27 – World Geography
March 6 – 80’s Music & Pop Culture
March 13 – Food & Drink

¡TriskaTrivia! is Triskelion’s Themed Trivia Night!
Starts at 7pm, and usually lasts at least an hour and a half.

Glorious Prizes:

First Place Team: $25 Gift Card
Second Place Team: $15 Gift Card

Each member of the team that wins the Very Hard Questions Round (almost always Round 3), will win a free beer.

If at least 6 people dress up in costumes that relate to the night’s theme, then the best dressed (determined by me) wins a free beer!

(that means if your entire team of 6 are the only ones dressed up, then a member of your team is destined to get a free beer)

There are six rounds, with 10 questions each, and each round will be on a different subject that relates to the night’s theme… Each question is worth 5 points.

Teams can consist of up to six players, or you can play by yourself if you have no friends.

Cheating is not allowed… no phones, no “yelling out of answers” (even wrong ones), and no handy reference materials… This is not an open book trivia night.

Come on out and show off your Brainz!!!

What do you get when you mix up a marketing genius who does video, a studio engineer who writes music, a pianist who had a successful solo career, and a cellist who does pretty much everything?

The Piano Guys became an internet sensation by way of their immensely successful series of strikingly original self-made music videos. Actually, there’s only one piano player, Jon Schmidt, and one other instrumentalist, Steven Sharp Nelson, on cello. Yet the other two – Paul Anderson and Al van der Beek – are equally significant members of the group.

It’s the Guys’ highly original blend of classical music with pop that has made them an internet phenomenon. They’ve made over 65 videos since joining forces in early 2011, including their biggest hit, an innovative 10-handed version of One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful.” “Code Name Vivaldi” blends The Bourne Identity soundtrack riff with a similarly intense Vivaldi cello concerto in a breathless video culminating with Schmidt and Nelson performing on a flatcar on a high-speed train. “Titanium/Pavane” is a mash-up of French classical composer Gabriel Fauré’s “Pavane” with David Guetta’s “Titanium.” Collectively, their videos have so far netted over 1.2 billion YouTube views.

The Piano Guys have performed everywhere from The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to The Today Show, and have been featured in The New York Times, Fast Company, Buzzfeed, People Magazine, and Mashable.

Like sweet tea and boiled peanuts, Tim’s style of comedy is purely southern. You won’t hear any “might be a redneck” jokes though. Tim has a PhD – A Plain High School Diploma. Upon graduation, he left his home in Lancaster, SC and joined the Military where he served our country for 10 years. He’ll be the first to tell you that the most important battle he ever fought was the one that gave him sole custody of his son.
The two of them moved to Myrtle Beach in search of a new beginning, and what Tim found was a love for performing stand up. Honing his craft at open mic nights his comedic observations on growing up, dating and everyday life as a single dad provided him with more than enough material to win the 2010 Beach’s Best Comic Award. In just over a year’s time he has gone from an open mic night comedy hopeful to a feature comedian, entertaining audiences with his authentic southern drawl, pin-point comedic timing and clever delivery of his unique life experiences.

Given the vital importance of soil to our hobby and avocation, it is amazing that most
gardeners don’t venture beyond the understanding that good soil supports plant life and poor soil doesn’t. You’ve undoubtedly seen worms in good soil and have come across other soil life: centipedes, springtails, ants, slugs, ladybird beetle larvae, and more. Healthy soil, however, is not just a few animals. Healthy soil is absolutely teeming with life.

This presentation focuses on all the forms of life found in healthy soil and how we can use this information to improve our gardening techniques.

The talk is free but registration is requested by calling 828-255-5522.

The calendar says winter, but did you know that spring is just a few months away? There’s no time like the present to get prepared for the future – a future in bright colors, shorts and dresses, and blouses and short-sleeved shirts. It’s even better when you can save A LOT.

Head out to the Little Red Schoolhouse, located behind the Original Mast Store in Valle Crucis, to stock up on shorts, shirts, and more for Spring Break and all the other warmer days to come.

Here’s the full scoop:

• Salesman Samples are 70% OFF (limited sizes)
• Other apparel is an Additional 20% OFF the last red-lined price
• Shoes are priced as marked

**Size runs may not be available in all merchandise. Selection includes items for men and women.**

The Schoolhouse is open Monday – Saturday 10 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. and Sunday noon until 6 p.m.
