Classes: Border Theatre in January
Press Release
We here at the Border theatre want to thank you so much for giving us much to be thankful for this holiday season and we want to keep you informed of all our activities. Due to the over whelming success and support we have received we are expanding our services.
Also through an exciting new collaboration with APT Movement, The Border Theatre will now also be providing dance classes in their brand new studio space in the Glasbox.
The Glasbox is located at:
1500 Texas Avenue UP
El Paso, Texas 79901
The entrance is on Langtry Street.
The offerings beginning this January include:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10-Minute Play Workshops (Free to the Public)
(Supported by the El Paso Museums and Cultural Affairs Department)
Under the tutelage of Austin Savage these workshops are available monthly on the last Saturday of every month.
The workshops are scheduled from 11 AM to 1 PM and are open to any interested participants.
The resulting works will be eligible for performance in The Border Theatre’s annual short play festival, the 2011 Exhibitions in Dis/Connection following a reading of the works in late July.
Those interested should contact Austin Savage at:
Asavage@bordertheatre.org
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Border Theatre:
New Work Collective ($20 a month)
The goal of this new project is to create production opportunities and a network of ongoing support for local playwrights/screenwriters interested in developing one act, short film or full-length scripts.
We are looking for local playwrights/screenwriters to commit to feedback sessions in which their work will be read by Border Theatre Ensemble Members and receive response from the performance group.
Those interested in directing are also welcome to partake in the collective. The directing participants will be assigned one of the scripts and will be guided through the fundamentals of dramaturgy that are the basis for any director.
After the 5-month period, we will have a public staged reading of each piece, with audience feedback.
The dates of the workshops are: January 15, February 12, March 12, April 9, May 14
The sessions run from 2-5 PM.
The cost is $100 for five sessions including the reading.
If you are interested in participating, please contact Maria Torres at:
Mtorres@bordertheatre.org

Contemporary Movement Classes with APT Movement ($40 a month)
The Border Theatre and The Glasbox are pleased to announce their partnership with an exciting new performance troupe. A few of The APT Movement Company members first demonstrated their skills in August during The Border Theatre’s 2010 Exhibitions in Dis/Connection. They reappeared as part of the Border
Performer Project and solidified themselves in the Glasbox firmament with their exciting all day spectacle as part of The Everything Thing.
They are now offering their unique vision of dance to the El Paso public through classes and workshops.
Their first offering is a weekly class in Contemporary Movement. The participants can range from young adult to adult and no dance background is required.
The classes are Sunday evenings from 6-7:30 PM and cost $40 a month.
Those interested in the dance classes should contact Music Adame at:
Madame@bordertheatre.org
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Acting Performance Classes ($100 a month)
The Border Theatre is also offering weekly performance classes to the public with the intent of allowing each student to develop working system that allows them to work beyond the peer/mentor relationship. The courses will involve scene study as well as expansion into basic dramaturgy and basic film technique, so that participating pupils are prepared to work immediately in El Paso’s burgeoning film industry.
The source material for the classes will be the many original scripts that have been submitted to The Border Theatre by award winning writers from across the nation. Students will have the opportunity to work alongside as well as with Border Theatre Ensemble Members in an attempt to accelerate their growth
The sessions are scheduled from 5:30-8:30 every Saturday and will cost only $100 a month. The classes are open to people of all ages and experience levels.

"The Trip" --
When 19-year-old gay-rights activist Tommy and 24-year-old Alan first meet in 1973, they find themselves on the opposite sides of the political coin. Despite their many differences, they form a loving long-term relationship. In 1977, during Anita Bryant's crusade, an anti-gay book Alan wrote years before gets published without his consent. The book destroys Tommy's credibility as a well-known activist, resulting in Tommy and Alan's break-up. Seven years later, Alan is given a second chance, a reunion with Tommy and the opportunity to set things right.

Three Kings Day Celebration – A Day in Puerto Rico
Sample Puerto Rican Cuisine, Music, Dance and Art on January 6th and 8th at the El Paso Public Library
The El Paso Public Library in cooperation with Architectural Solutions, Tommy Santos, Luna’s and Sons Grocery, Organización Cívico-Cultural de Puertorriqueños en El Paso, Puerto Rican Medical Society at El Paso, and others is hosting a Puerto Rican themed 3 Kings Day Celebration featuring the food, music, dance and art of Puerto Rico. The celebration will take place on January 6 and 8 with events scheduled throughout both days. The event is free and open to the public. For more information visit www.elpasolibrary.org or call 543-5433.
Three Kings Day, also known as The Epiphany or El Día de los Reyes Magos in Spanish, is celebrated on January 6th and is a Christian holiday believed to be the day that Jesus Christ is revealed to be the son of God in man. The biblical story says that after Jesus was born, it took the Three Kings, Melchior, Gaspar and Balthasar 12 days to travel to Bethlehem, the place of his birth. There, the Kings gave Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
In Puerto Rico, Three Kings Day is one of the most important holidays of the year and is marked by celebrations featuring traditions such as parrandas which are groups of singers that make the rounds surprising friends with a serenade of aguinaldos or songs. On the eve of January 6, children that have been good are traditionally given gifts said to be from the Three Kings, reminiscent of the biblical story. Children are taught to gather hay, straw or grass and place it underneath their beds for the Three King’s horses as they journey from town to town. The holiday also boasts its own traditional fare some of which will be available to sample during the celebration to be held at the Library.

Health: Lunch Time Tai Chi Classes
El Paso Museum of History Presents Special Lunch Time Tai Chi Classes
Every Wednesday, beginning January 12th to March 23rd, 2011
Noon to 1:00 PM
Beginning on Wednesday, January 12th and continuing until March 23rd, 2011, the El Paso Museum of History will offer special lunch time classes in Tai Chi taught by Hsio-Ying Hines from Noon to 1:00 PM. Lose midweek work stress by relaxing with Tai Chi. It will make Friday come sooner!
Of the five major Tai Chi movements taught, the Yang style is the most popular because of its slow, graceful movements. Students will learn basic simplified Yang movements and twelve therapeutic Qi-Gong exercises. If you haven’t been to the museum to take Tai Chi, here is your chance to start. The movements are slow and easy and you can learn very quickly. Western scientists have established that Tai Chi and Qi-Gong can reduce hypertension, help diabetes and stress management, and ease arthritis.
Hsio-Ying Hines has been teaching Tai-chi at the Chinese Language School, and EPCC Northwest Campus Library Summer program since 2007. According to her students, she is very patient and makes you feel comfortable from the first lesson on. Ms. Hines will add interesting anecdotes of Chinese history as she teaches you the various movements.
Loose, comfortable clothing and athletic shoes are highly recommended for the class. Class size is limited to 20, so register early.
Program fee: $20.00 for non-members/$10.00 for members for the ten week course.
For more information, call Sue Taylor at 351-3588 or email at taylorsl@elpasotexas.gov

SUN CITY KICKBALL’S REMIX SEASON:
TWO MORE DAYS TO REGISTER FOR ONE FUN TIME!
It’s been over a year and a half since we began our first game and every season since then has grown bigger and better! Each season we ask teams of eight to fifteen players to sign up to play but this one’s a little different. Our Remix Season requires players to sign up on an individual basis and this coming Saturday, all participating players’ names will be combined and drawn one by one to determine on which team each will play. We know. Crazy. Just the way we like it! Here are some of the details:

Games will be on Saturday afternoons at 1pm, 2pm and 3p. The season will begin January 8, 2011 and include five regular season games plus one championship series on the sixth Saturday.
While fees collected for each season assist Sun City Kickball with a variety of league-related costs, some of the remaining funds and monies from continuing sponsor Coconut’s Bar & Grill allow the league to make various charitable contributions throughout the year.

Event: The Everything Thing
Saturday, December 18 · 11:00am - 11:00pm
Glasbox, 1500 Texas Ave. #UP (enter from Langtry St.)
The Glasbox is having a Culture Festival, “The Everything Thing,” on December 18th, 2010 from 11am - 11pm at the Glasbox (1500 Texas Ave. #up, off of Langerty). The event will be open to the public to let everyone know what The Glasbox is all about. Entertainment includes Music, Artistic Performances, Food & Drink, Film, Screen Print (bring your shirt), and a Silent Art Auction. The cover is $10 at the door, or $5 with a blanket... or unwrapped toy donation.
Glasbox is a facility that manufactures opportunities for the Creatively inclined. The name Glasbox implies transparency, which is an important quality in communities in general and business specifically. It also, superficially, describes our present physical space with all of the windows, but the best thing about it is that it opposes the idea of a “black box,” which, in some circles, denotes an inscrutable subroutine, or a part of a system which is excessively esoteric. We are a community of Creatives who welcome others to join in the creative process, breaking down the “fourth wall” that separates the audience from the performance.
Glasbox Anchor Members include: The Border Theatre, EP Culture Beat, AK Printing, Reel House VOD, Katrin Bevins (jewelry), 9 Degrees Architecture, James Jiron (printmaking), Johnny Costello and the Ruckus (band), Linda Hains (painting), Chris Bevins (performance/spectacle), The Lusitania (band), Mary Constantine (painting), PSI (philosophy based think tank), Alice Hughes (painting/assemblage), Orson (painting), Miguel Valdez (painting/printmaking) and his band Mattox, Sebastian Fernandez (drawing), and Crazy House Media (recording studio) and Come Together Productions.
We are now offering a limited number of At-Large memberships for those who want an environment that is vibrant, respectful of individuality, as well as group dynamics, and seriously fun. First and foremost, Glasbox is a great place to work and be creative. Membership includes free access to the events we host: cultural events, art openings, theatrical events, classes, workshops, and seminars. We are putting the finishing touches on our Conference/Classroom and the first of several CoWorking areas. We stock snacks and drinks including (great coffee) which are available free of charge to members and their guests. There is even a gym if you want to break or need to blow off some steam. We are constantly looking for ways to enhance the creative process, through networking and collaborative opportunities.
Call to Artists

Glasbox organizers are looking for pieces that range in price from $100 - $500. All pieces will have a reserve price of $100. If the reserve is not met, the artist will retain possession of the piece. If the reserve is met and/or exceeded the total will be split 50-50 between the artist and the Glasbox.

Press Release: Nominees for the 16th annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards
(Los Angeles, CA – December 13, 2010) – The Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) has announced the nominees for the 16th annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards. The winners will be announced at the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards ceremony on Friday, January 14, 2011 at 9:00 PM ET/PT. This year’s event will again take place at the Hollywood Palladium. This is the fourth year in a row that VH1 will broadcast the gala live on the network and the first year the show will also be broadcast internationally.
“Black Swan” received an unprecedented 12 nominations for the 16th annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, garnering nods for Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Editing, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup, Best Sound and Best Score. “True Grit” and “The King’s Speech” followed close behind with 11 nominations each, while “Inception” received 10 nominations and “The Social Network” garnered 9.
“Toy Story 3” was honored in the Best Picture and Best Animated Feature categories while two Best Picture nominees, “Inception” and “The Town,” were also recognized in the Best Action Movie category. “127 Hours,” “The Fighter” and “Winter’s Bone” also scored multiple nominations, including Best Picture.
Nicole Kidman received her record seventh acting nomination for Best Actress in “Rabbit Hole.” She won the first Critics’ Choice Award as Best Actress 15 years ago for “To Die For.” Later Kidman was nominated for Best Actress in “Cold Mountain,” “The Hours” and “Moulin Rouge,” in addition to being part of the nominated Acting Ensembles in “Nine” and “The Hours.”
Amy Adams will be seeking her second Critics’ Choice Award as a Best Supporting Actress nominee in “The Fighter.” Adams previously won the category for “Junebug” and has received three other nods from the BFCA, including one for Best Actress in “Enchanted.”
Twenty-year-old Jennifer Lawrence earned nods in both the Best Actress and Best Young Actor/Actress categories, among the four nominations for “Winter’s Bone,” while fourteen-year-old Hailee Steinfeld earned nods as both Best Supporting Actress and Best Young Actor/Actress for “True Grit,” contributing to its 11 nominations. Thirteen-year-old Chloe Grace Moretz was nominated in the Best Young Actor/Actress category twice for “Let Me In” and “Kick-Ass.”
Brothers Joel and Ethan Coen continue to be Critics’ Choice favorites, nominated jointly for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for “True Grit.” Previously they had shared Best Director honors for “No Country For Old Men,” and were nominated as writers of “The Man Who Wasn’t There,” “A Serious Man” and “No Country For Old Men.” “No Country For Old Men” and “Fargo” also won Critics’ Choice Awards as Best Picture.
The 250 members of the BFCA, the largest film critics’ organization in the United States and Canada, representing television, radio and online critics, selected nominees in each of 25 categories. The awards are bestowed annually to honor the finest in cinematic achievement. Eligible films were released in 2010. The accounting firm of Gregory A. Mogab tallied the written ballots.
Historically, the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards are the most accurate predictor of the Academy Award nominations. All four major acting category winners at the Academy Awards in 2010 were first Critics’ Choice Movie Awards winners in the same categories and were present at the January 15, 2010 ceremony to graciously give their first acceptance speeches of the awards season. The BFCA also recognized “The Hurt Locker” for Best Picture and Kathryn Bigelow as Best Director, making her the first female to win the award. “The Hurt Locker” and Bigelow also went on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Director, but were both overlooked at the Golden Globes.
Today, VH1 also announces the launch of its Critics’Choice Movie Awards site at CriticsChoice.VH1.com. The site offers movie fans detailed information about the show and this year’s nominees, VH1.com’s Award Season Twitter Tracker, where users can see the awards show buzz that’s happening on Twitter in real time, and Quick Critic, an opportunity to share short film reviews for a prize that includes a trip for two to next year’s Critics’ Choice Movie Awards. Additionally, interviews with many of the acting nominees can be found on the BFCA's site CriticsChoice.com.
The 16th annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards is executive produced by Jesse Ignjatovic for Den of Thieves, Joey Berlin for Berlin Entertainment and Lee Rolontz for VH1.
