Annual Evening at the Williams Center
Friday  March 28, 8pm
Flamenco Vivo

Flamenco Vivo has commissioned Patricia Guerrero, internationally acclaimed flamenco dancer-choreographer and winner of the 2021 Spain National Dance Award, to create QUINTO ELEMENTO (Fifth Element), a new evening-length work set to an original score of live music by GRAMMY®-nominated composer Jose Luis de la Paz. QUINTO ELEMENTO explores ether, that which we do not see yet is ever-present, the essence that makes up the space around us. By drawing on her deep knowledge of traditional flamenco structure and daringly deconstructing its rules, Guerrero seeks to extract the essence of flamenco itself, its invisible fifth element, and make it tangible to audiences.

Tickets are $30. A portion of each AAUW ticket goes towards local scholarships. Spouses and friends are welcome. Please reserve tickets by March 15.

Please send reservations by March 15 to: Rosemary Baker.  Make checks payable to: AAUW Easton Branch

The Genius of Judy:
How Judy Blume Rewrote Childhood for All of Us
by Rachelle Bergstein

Many of us had a childhood before Judy Blume’s books came along, but we are living in the world that she rewrote. This is a chance to talk about not only Judy Blume and her books, but also the attempts today to go backwards, by banning books like hers.

The link below will take you to a PBS News Hour interview with Judy Blume that aired in 2023 and is available now on YouTube. It lasts a little less than 8 minutes.
