SUMMARY:Nevertheless She Persisted: the Daughters of Hypatia\, a Mathematical Herstory
DESCRIPTION:Nevertheless She Persisted: The Daughters of Hypatia\, a Mathematical Herstory\nFriday\, April 21\, 7:30pm; Saturday\, April 22\, 7:30pm; \nStudent matinees\, Friday\, April 21 9:30am and 11am \nPart of National Dance Week\, a dance concert celebrating important women mathematicians throughout the ages\, and their struggles to create groundbreaking mathematics. \nDedicated to the foremothers of mathematics as well as to their leading contemporaries\, this exciting six-woman dance concert celebrates great mathematical women throughout the ages\, telling their stories with playful dances\, dynamic storytelling\, colorful projections\, surprising audience interactions\, and more. The dancers recount intriguing stories from the women’s lives and perform dynamic dances inspired by their mathematical work. A new dance work\, “KiloGirl\,” uses ordinary sheets of paper as a prop as it salutes the thousands of unheralded women who worked with pencil and paper to break codes in World War II\, supported the space program with important mathematical calculations\, and helped found the computer industry. \nThe historical sections of the show are drawn together by dances exploring circular motifs\, suggesting the circles of collegiality and connection that have supported women in this field. Often self-taught\, women have made marvelous mathematical discoveries\, despite being denied access to the field and having their accomplishments downplayed. \nThe earliest known female mathematician was Hypatia\, a leading intellectual in ancient Alexandria who was murdered by a mob. Later mathematicians disguised their identities: Émilie du Châtelet dressed as a man to attend lectures\, Sophie Germain published under a male pseudonym\, and Emmy Noether gave lectures under the name of a male colleague. Their stories are sobering\, yet inspiring. \nThe varied repertory makes use of live projection of video mosaics of dancers\, feature tessellation designs by Marjorie Rice\, include guest choreography by sarah-marie belcastro (lower case)\, a skit by Sue Geller\, and use musical compositions by Zambra\, Vi Hart\, and Victor Spiegel. Also in the concert are a surprising trio for six hands and “Tottle Bop\,” a rhythm dance using plastic water bottles. Featured mathematicians include Hypatia\, Maria Agnesi\, Émilie du Châtelet\, Sophie Germain\, Sonya Kovaleskya\, Mary Somerville\, Marjorie Rice\, Emmy Noether\, Vivienne Malone-Mayes\, and sarah-marie belcastro. \nAdmission: $20 general\, $16 students and seniors\, tickets at https://tinyurl.com/Hypatia2023.\nStudent matinees: contact us for reservation and ticket information.\nMore information and background: https://tinyurl.com/2023HypatiaInfo.\nContact: 831-480-5114 or DanceAndMath@gmail.com. \nText and choreography by Karl Schaffer\, guest choreography and performance by sarah-marie belcastro\, choreographic and text contributions by the dancers. Additional text adapted from script by Sue Geller. Music by Zambra\, Vi Hart\, Victor Spiegel. Tessellation designs by Marjorie Rice. Video mosaic software by Kevin Lee. Photos by Steve DiBartolomeo. \nMove Speak Spin  http://www.mathdance.org/ \nSupported by funding from the Arts Council Santa Cruz County and the California Arts Council.  Brochure: https://go.evvnt.com/1641737-2?pid=10427 \nGeneral Admission: $20.00

SUMMARY:Matilda Jr. -  All About Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Matilda Jr. – All About Theatre\nFriday April 21st – 6:30pm\nSaturday April 22nd – 1:30pm\nSaturday April 22nd – 6:30pm\nSunday April 23rd – 1:30pm \nLive performances at the London Nelson Center\n301 Center Street\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95060 \nBuy Your Tickets NOW at www.allabouttheatre.org/buy-tickets/ \nTicket Prices: In advance: $13/$16/$20;  At the door: $15/$18/$22 \nSYNOPSIS\nRebellion is nigh in Matilda JR.\, a gleefully witty ode to the the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination! This story of a girl who dreams of a better life and the children she inspires will have audiences rooting for the “revolting children” who are out to teach the grown-ups a lesson. \nMatilda has astonishing wit\, intelligence… and special powers! She’s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher\, the highly lovable Miss Honey. Matilda’s school life isn’t completely smooth sailing\, however – the school’s mean headmistress\, Miss Trunchbull\, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don’t abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts\, and could be the school pupils’ saving grace! \nPacked with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs\, Matilda JR. is a joyous girl power romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.

SUMMARY:Postpartum Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Postpartum Support International\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNEW SUPPORT GROUP!\n\n\n\nPostpartum Psychosis (PPP) is rare. It occurs in approximately 1 to 2 out of every 1\,000 deliveries.  After a PPP survivor’s symptoms have been stabilized\, peer support can be an important tool for recovery. Because PPP occurs less often than other perinatal mood disorders\, survivors can go their whole lives without meeting another PPP survivor.  In response\, PSI has created an online peer-to-peer support group for PPP survivors. This group is intended for those who are in recovery (no longer experiencing psychosis).   Whether your PPP experience was relatively recent or years ago\, you are welcome to attend our free\, online peer-to-peer support group.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here: https://www.postpartum.net/…/psi-online-support-meetings/\nFull Meeting Schedule

SUMMARY:Support for Parents of High Needs Babies
DESCRIPTION:Support for Parents of High Needs Babies\n4th Tuesdays of the month\, 9:30am pst \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you\, Postpartum Support International\n\n\n\nNEW SUPPORT GROUP: Support for Parents of High Needs Babies  will take place on the 4th Tuesday of the month at 9:30 am PST!\n\n\n\nLed by trained peer facilitators\, this group is for parents of “high need” newborns to 12-month-old babies. All babies have needs and depend on their caregivers\, yet some babies have more needs than others. “High needs baby” is not a medical term or diagnosis\, but it is a term used to describe babies with some of these characteristics: constant crying (for several hours in a row)\, difficult to soothe\, and easily overstimulated. A highly sensitive or high needs baby might not sleep without being held\, might cry for three hours every evening\, or might get restless and frustrated when transitioning from one environment to another. We know that parents of “colicky” or high-needs babies can feel isolated\, exhausted\, and overwhelmed. You are not alone\, and we are here to help. Crying babies are welcome too!\n\n\n\nIf you are looking for a group for parenting a medically fragile baby or child\, please check out our group specifically for those parents.\n\n\n\nTo view all our online support groups\, visit http://bit.ly/FindSupportGroup

SUMMARY:Nevertheless She Persisted: the Daughters of Hypatia\, a Mathematical Herstory
DESCRIPTION:Nevertheless She Persisted: The Daughters of Hypatia\, a Mathematical Herstory\nFriday\, April 21\, 7:30pm; Saturday\, April 22\, 7:30pm; \nStudent matinees\, Friday\, April 21 9:30am and 11am \nPart of National Dance Week\, a dance concert celebrating important women mathematicians throughout the ages\, and their struggles to create groundbreaking mathematics. \nDedicated to the foremothers of mathematics as well as to their leading contemporaries\, this exciting six-woman dance concert celebrates great mathematical women throughout the ages\, telling their stories with playful dances\, dynamic storytelling\, colorful projections\, surprising audience interactions\, and more. The dancers recount intriguing stories from the women’s lives and perform dynamic dances inspired by their mathematical work. A new dance work\, “KiloGirl\,” uses ordinary sheets of paper as a prop as it salutes the thousands of unheralded women who worked with pencil and paper to break codes in World War II\, supported the space program with important mathematical calculations\, and helped found the computer industry. \nThe historical sections of the show are drawn together by dances exploring circular motifs\, suggesting the circles of collegiality and connection that have supported women in this field. Often self-taught\, women have made marvelous mathematical discoveries\, despite being denied access to the field and having their accomplishments downplayed. \nThe earliest known female mathematician was Hypatia\, a leading intellectual in ancient Alexandria who was murdered by a mob. Later mathematicians disguised their identities: Émilie du Châtelet dressed as a man to attend lectures\, Sophie Germain published under a male pseudonym\, and Emmy Noether gave lectures under the name of a male colleague. Their stories are sobering\, yet inspiring. \nThe varied repertory makes use of live projection of video mosaics of dancers\, feature tessellation designs by Marjorie Rice\, include guest choreography by sarah-marie belcastro (lower case)\, a skit by Sue Geller\, and use musical compositions by Zambra\, Vi Hart\, and Victor Spiegel. Also in the concert are a surprising trio for six hands and “Tottle Bop\,” a rhythm dance using plastic water bottles. Featured mathematicians include Hypatia\, Maria Agnesi\, Émilie du Châtelet\, Sophie Germain\, Sonya Kovaleskya\, Mary Somerville\, Marjorie Rice\, Emmy Noether\, Vivienne Malone-Mayes\, and sarah-marie belcastro. \nAdmission: $20 general\, $16 students and seniors\, tickets at https://tinyurl.com/Hypatia2023.\nStudent matinees: contact us for reservation and ticket information.\nMore information and background: https://tinyurl.com/2023HypatiaInfo.\nContact: 831-480-5114 or DanceAndMath@gmail.com. \nText and choreography by Karl Schaffer\, guest choreography and performance by sarah-marie belcastro\, choreographic and text contributions by the dancers. Additional text adapted from script by Sue Geller. Music by Zambra\, Vi Hart\, Victor Spiegel. Tessellation designs by Marjorie Rice. Video mosaic software by Kevin Lee.
