A Bhakti Modern master class is a modern dance technique class which focuses on the inbreath and outbreath of the unfolding movements and phrases, as they ebb, flow and spiral in varying dynamics. The technique is Limon inspired, and the music is drawn from world music, kirtan and singer/songwriter pieces.
Each class begins with an organically conceived warmup that trains, strengthens, and warms the body in flowing combinations and contrasting dramatic rhythms. The class starts meditatively on the floor, moves to a standing center, and continues to a breath-infused, passionate dance phase which aims to evoke in each dancer a connection to divine beauty, inner longing, and personal artistry.

The Baha'i Faith is an independent world religion that originated in Iran in the mid 1800's. In Iran, the Baha'i community is the largest religious minority, and is subjected to systematic persecution by the government and Islamic clergy. This session is for professors and others in the academic community to make them aware of one aspect of this persecution: the denial of higher education to Baha'is and the imprisonment of faculty members of the Baha'i Institute for Higher Education. One of these prisoners, an MIT alumnus recently released after serving a four-year term, tells his story in the current issue of Technology Review Magazine:

What is the role of oratory and power in a democratic society? Is it worse to do wrong or to be wronged? What is the difference between knowledge and true belief? Why is it important for both the accused and their judges to meet naked in court? (And what do all of these questions have to do with becoming an urban planner?) Come explore these themes with us in a participatory -- possibly dramatic -- reading of Plato's "Gorgias," a Socratic dialog written in 380 BC that is as relevant today as when it was written. Books provided; Greek food included; togas optional.
Note: this is mostly an opportunity to actually read this wonderful and thought-provoking book with others, not a lecture; come prepared to read and take part, and we'll see how far we get.
