For a really artsy weekend at the theater, check out “When Angels Fall,” 
a wordless blend of circus arts, dance, and film from aerialist and 
contortionist Raphaëlle Boitel that debuted Wednesday at the Cutler 
Majestic Theatre. The show follows a story about the final seven 
inhabitants of a post-apocalyptic world run by machines that have 
outlawed speech, and was called “stark and stunning” in a recent New 
York Times review 
<https://boston.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=19495f2477d2fd79c3056a73f&id=67e2ba6273&e=c742c46264>.

*OUR ENGLISH LANGUAGE TUTORING PROGRAM, available for the MBL 
InternationalCommunity (READ AT BOTTOM FOR whoi NOTE)*

For many years we have had an informal language tutoring program to 
assist members of our internationalcommunity
who asked for assistance using the English language in your work and in 
your day - to - day life.

This conversational program has always been informal, we have based it 
upon training held at MBL and WHOI over the years,
and our own experiences living in countries outside of the US.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It has ranged from assisting people who think they would like extra 
experience speaking English either professionally or in everyday 
conversation, or both areas.
What the program is not...is a structured grammar program. There's 
another program in in Falmouth which is more structured around grammar.

Sometimes we have even assisted more fluent speakers of English who wish 
to increase their speaking opportunities within the context of their 
lives, sometimes as informally as having lunch together, or taking a 
walk around Eel Pond.

We pair up volunteers from the MBL community for one hour a week with 
people seeking language assistance, when people let us know they are 
interested in having a language tutor.

We have done one-on-one tutoring, tutoring around lunch time, 
tutoring while hiking around Woods Hole.

Just respond to me if you are interested in this - and I will get back 
to you. Matt - mperson at mbl.edu

( If you are reading this and you are from WHOI, contact Andrew Daly 
adaly at whoi.edu )

*BLACK HISTORY MINI DOCS presents Judith Jameson*

*Jamison (born May 10, 1943) is among the most influential African 
American dance figures of the late 20th Century. She began her dance 
career at the age of ten and served as the Artistic Director at the 
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater from 1989 to 2011. Her efforts in the 
dance industry also opened the doors to many young aspiring women and 
African Americans. Watch the premiere of our brand-new mini doc on this
