My name is Esleen Henderson and I'm going to demonstrate for you throwing on the potter's wheel.
We call this throwing because in order to attach the lump of clay to the wheel head, we actually throw it down fairly firmly so that it really grabs the wheel.
You will center a small lump of clay when we do our hand building because centering is the essence of living.
We first must find the center of our lives and go out from the center.
And so it is in working with clay on the wheel and by hand, usually by hand.
We must first find the center of our being and then go out from there.
The opening goes down to almost a half inch from the wheel head itself.
From that we make the bottom of our shape.
Then we come over and we come up at right angles.
This gives us the wall or the side.
And then we begin to lift the clay.
We call it pulling.
And there we have our shape.
This would hold about two quarts.
Now, because this is soft and there's not much we can do with it.
If you have long fingernails, they may dig in.
Make a hole in your little lump of clay.
This is going to be a small hole.
See that little hole? It's going and they walk around it.
But we are going to rotate the lump of clay.
Now, keep turning it.
It's just as easy as it goes with both hands.
Okay, is it beginning to look like a little hole? When you think you have stretched the clay out as much as you can, you know when you can feel when you're going to go through it, can't you? And don't do it in the room too much in the room.
Take your time.
Take your time.
I'm going to show you upside down in tapas and it flattens the edge of each other.
Another way to treat the edge.
Ladies, I'm very pleased with what you've gotten with your pinch pots.
I hope you've had fun, have you? Thank you.
You may put this on your pot and we will put this away for posterity.
And remember this as a pleasurable experience and a learned experience.
Thank you very much.
Oh, my, I'm an artist.
Yo me llamo.
I call myself Pascual Oliveira.
This is the Spanish dance experience and I'm going to be sharing this experience with my partner and her name is Angela Del Moral and she comes from Spain.
We're going to take a tour of Spain showing you some of the regional, classical flamenco dances.
We're going to show you how to play the castanets and we're also going to take you to a bullfight.
So here we go to Spain.
I'm going to demonstrate for you now the flamenco papateado.
Papateado comes from the word tapato which means shoe in Spanish.
This means to dance with the heels and the ball of your foot.
Papateado in the flamenco style.
Olé! Olé! Olé! I'll show you a little bit about the castanets.
First of all, the castanets go on your thumbs very tight with the knot in the back.
They're made out of four parts of wood or these are made out of the compressed fiberglass.
The way you play the castanets is after they're placed on the thumbs very tightly and they spring open you play five beats.
One, two, three, four and five.
Once you've perfected these five beats, in Spanish it's called a carretilla, it will eventually sound like this.
One, two, three, four and five.
And that's it! La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la a Buenas dias, señoras y señores, vamos a ser muñecos de porqueria.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, my name is Tom Joris.
I'm a sculptor and I make art from junk.
I'd like to explain a little about is how I go about doing these things.
First of all, how do I get my inspiration? Well, actually what I do is I look for the shape of what I'm going to make.
But I have to find the shape that comes closest to it.
That's why I use this part of the bike for the neck.
This is why I use the shovel, because when you cut a shovel apart, it does look like the wing, doesn't it? And over here are some old pliers.
So it doesn't actually really, it doesn't make a difference what I make.
I make as long as that shape is there.
That's why, when I started making this grasshopper, I looked for the shape that was closest to a grasshopper.
And that was the body.
And then everything else just naturally fell in line.
We have a little more work to do on this, and then it'll be done, and I'm going to pass it around to you so you can see.
And we'll begin a smaller one there, okay? Right there.
Charlie, come on.
Come on, let Charlie in here.
We're going to pick Charlie.
We're going to name it Charlie, and then put it in the yard, and we're going to watch it hop around.
Make a bird.
Make a bird? Okay.
We can't leave Charlie outside.
We'll get a pedestal and put Charlie on a pedestal inside.
My name is Valuxa, and the name of my program is The Whole World Singing.
I do Afro -Brazilian songs, and this is a sample, it's a solo song about a train.
And for your life you don't need a train.
Up and up I am a sailor, and I am not a sailor because you are, because you are, because you are.

First, we're going to present a program of the mind.
Hello, my name is T.
Daniel.
What I do is a performance of mind.
I'm going to perform a performance of mind.
I'm going to perform a performance of mind.
I got it.
I'm going to take this opportunity to show you how you can do mind.
The easiest thing to learn is the wall.
Now, you have to be able to do it with both hands.
Good.
When you go home, upstairs or in the back, find a mirror and watch yourself do it in the mirror.
Most of you are doing it.
One of the things that you have to be careful about is to make sure that both hands go to the same place.
It doesn't look very good if you make it to the wall and you place one hand here and one hand here.
Both hands have to go to the same place.
Now, except this evening when you go to eat and you don't want to leave the room, you can turn and when you get to the door frame, just bump into the wall and make it.
Go back for seconds.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
