Los Angeles–based professional dance company Invertigo Dance Theatre (Invertigo) is offering weekly live Dancing Through Parkinson's (DTP) classes via Zoom on Thursdays at 1:30 PT/3:30 CT/4:30 ET. Visit invertigodance.org/dancing-through-parkinsons for more information. For the past nine years, the company has offered free (donations accepted) weekly dance classes in studios throughout Southern California to people living with Parkinson’s. View the first online classes here: invertigodance.org/dancing-through-parkinsons.  The classes mirror the experience and progression of a professional dance class with movement executed from wheelchairs, walkers, chairs, or while standing. The curriculum is designed specifically to meet the needs of people with Parkinson’s disease from newly diagnosed to late stages. The series is equally beneficial for aging populations and anyone with a different neurological diagnosis. The DTP online classes are modeled after the in-person studio classes. No dance experience is required to take part in the online or live classes. Teachers Kelsey Ang, Linda Berghoff, Heidi Buehler, Jess Evans, Haylee Nichele, and Rachel Whiting—representing the five different studio classes—each lead a segment featuring their unique styles and music selections. DTP participants move at their own pace, and every section of the class is designed with seated modifications for those who need to remain seated or who would like to take a break from standing. Classes are open to everyone; family and caregivers are also encouraged to participate. Each session begins with a seated warm-up that incorporates breath work, upper body stretches, and joint mobility. Participants perform seated choreography, tap work, and muscular brain teasers. For the next section of the class, members progress into a modified ballet barre segment—either standing with a chair or sitting—and then move through standing or seated center traveling steps and enjoy some creative at-home improvisation. The class’s traditional end—a circle of gratitude—has been adapted into an individual hand-on-heart gesture, where all participants join in a collective breath of thanks for this opportunity to remain connected to community.

Positive Space Tulsa announces its inaugural gallery exhibition featuring the work of Tulsa artist and contemporary figurative painter, Anne Pollard James (she/her/hers). Entitled Surfacing, Pollard James’s first solo exhibit will include her newest work exploring womanhood. She is interested in “the many ways women must navigate the spaces that surround them and take the space wanted in a place, made for and by men who really just want to keep women out.”

Surfacing will open 5-9pm, Thursday, September 15, 2022, and continue through October 27, 2022. Additional public programming will be announced. Gallery hours during the exhibit: Thurs, 6-8pm; Fri, 5-9pm; Sat, 12pm-5pm and by appointment.

Positive Space Tulsa is located at 1324 East 3rd Street, just east of Peoria Avenue on the south side of 3rd Street in the Pearl District. The gallery is barrier free throughout with an all gender, wheelchair accessible bathroom. Service animals are welcome. Masks are encouraged for non-vaccinated individuals.

Positive Space Tulsa was founded by local artist, Nicole Finley (she/her/hers). An art space dedicated to womxn* artists - the first and only in Oklahoma - Positive Space Tulsa has an exhibition space, three artist studios, and an outdoor space for gathering, exhibiting and studio artist creative work.

*Positive Space Tulsa believes: The letter “x” in womxn recognizes all women, including gender expansive identities. Positive Space Tulsa is for women, nonbinary, genderfluid, genderqueer, and agender artists (excluding those who identify as male/men). Womxn is pronounced the same as woman or women.

Vampires of the Wild West (A Parody) October 6-9th at TCC
Tulsa Community College Theatre Department presents, Vampires of the Wild West (a Parody) by Mark Frank. The production will be present at the Southeast Campus Pace Studio Theatre at 8pm October 6-8 and 2pm on October 9th. For tickets go to, https://pacetickets.tulsacc.edu/events or call 918-595-7777.
Vampires of the Wild West welcomes us to Empire Valley in 1865 where a rogue vampire brood has taken over the town. Can a retired outlaw past his prime, named Jim Walker, put on his guns, and save the town? Vampires of the Wild West combines and parodies two popular genre styles of vampire and western movies. It is loosely inspired by the 1987 movie, The Lost Boys by Janice Fischer and James Jeremias and the 1992 movie, Unforgiven by David Webb Peoples. Characters and story lines are reimagined in this fun filled fang gun slinging adventure!! Rated PG for mild language and violence.
