Who doesn’t love a good story?! We’ve heard them on The moth, on This American Life, and at massmouth—quirky, true stories that are funny or touching, and that also give you something to reflect on. How many times have you thought, “I’ve got a story like that.” Well, this class starts with the firm premise that everyone has fascinating stories to tell. We’ll approaches storytelling from the idea that the best way to become a good storyteller is to hear and tell stories. We’ll learn some of the techniques of oral tradition that help us tell our stories not from memorized texts, but from images and sense memory. By the end of the class we’ll all have three stories ready for open mikes and story slams.

Paul dailey and mike Foye


dJs are the unsung heroes of the club scene. With their ability to “read” a crowd and their mastery of electronic gear, they weave musical narratives, controlling a club’s atmosphere and motivating their audiences to get out on the dance floor. Now, in this unique 2-session class led by music scene veteran Paul dailey, you can learn the basics of those skills for yourself—then practice what you’ve learned in a local after-hours club!

In the first session you’ll learn the fundamentals: what a “mix” is; introduction to the equipment; hands-on-instruction in cueing and scratching; and more. For session two, we’ll move to RIsE, Boston’s only after-hours dance club, where we’ll discuss the hows and whys of music programming; how to read a crowd; getting your first dJ gig; how to deal with promoters; etc. You’ll also get to check out the dJ booth, familiarize yourself with professional level equipment, and see a demo by the instructor!

Every student will receive a Cd of practice tracks and free dJ-ing software.

Instructors: New England Parkour (2-3 instructors)Time: 1:15 PM to 3:15 PMCost: $20/ $15 members

Parkour is the art of traversing landscapes and navigating obstacles in the most effi cient way possible, using only one’s body and the sur-rounding environment, through a series of running, jumping, climb-ing, scaling, vaulting and rolling techniques. Students will learn the fundamentals of the sport as well as tips on how to develop one’s spatial awareness.

Street Art

Instructor: Rob LarsenTime: 11:00AM to 1:00PMCost: $20/ $15 members/ $15 Materials

While the term still denotes an illegal form of artistic vandalism, “street art” has actually become a legitimate and powerful form of artistic expression. In this class students will examine the history and development of the movement and will then have the op-portunity to experiment with some of the techniques and visual grammar using a variety of media.

Get “Street Wise” at the Boston Center for Adult Education! On November 12th, 2011 the BCAE and the Weekly Dig will host their fi rst day-long workshop dedicated to street culture. Get schooled in everything from street art and graffi ti, to breakdancing and parkour, with some of the most reputable street artists in the Hub.

Ask most people what they know about hypnosis, and they’re likely to mention unsuspecting subjects being made to cluck like chickens, or a mad scientist swinging a pocket watch as he says, “You are getting sleeeeepy …” Actually, hypnosis is a powerful mind/body technique that can free us from our limiting thoughts and behaviors so we can finally succeed with the improvements we’ve been hoping to make in our lives. And believe it or not, it’s incredibly easy to learn. Join certified hypnotherapist Lisa Bedoya for an informative class in which you can explore the basics, have your questions answered, and experience for yourself what’s so cool about hypnosis. Feel free to bring a pillow if you’d like, and wear loose, comfortable clothing.
