Hi folks,

Hope you are all well. This weekend marks The LabRats 4th Experiment Sessions, where we invite the public to share and celebrate over 16 works-in-progress by the LabRats and a sneak peek at our upcoming main stage productions in March. FREE FOOD, DRINK and more live theater than anyone can absorb in one day. Luckily, we’ve strategically scheduled breaks throughout the day so that you can catch your breath and properly digest. The schedule (approximate time ranges) for these pieces (as of now) is below, along with my role/function. There is a slight chance that the line up may be changing, so may want to check back with us (FACEBOOK–LabRats Experiment Sessions). The whole day has some explosive work, so anytime you drop in is the right time.

Hope to See You There! Ana Maria

Two Adventures Around the World

Puglia, Italy-

Saturday, January 21st at 8PM on Time/Warner 56/RCN 83/Fios in Manhattan
Also streamed over the Internet at: www.mnn.org channel 2 at 8PM EST

Fridays 8PM in Brooklyn on Time/Warner 34/CableVision 67/RCN82/Verizon42

The Puglia, region is in the heel of the boot of Italy in the south. I was most fascinated with the history of the Trullis, which dates back several centuries. The Trullis are unique architectural structures with conical roof made of limestone slate.

The city of Bari is a seaside town with Baroque buildings and an old medieval wall that embraces the old town. The old town has wandering streets and interesting places to visit and explore.

Lecce is a bustling town with lots of traffic from bikes to motorcars. The famous Amphitheatre and the Holy Cross Church stands in a square.
Ostuni is a few miles inland along the Adriatic Coast of Puglia. The perfectly preserved historical city is situated on a hilltop overlooking the coastal plains. The old town gleams of white in warm Italian sunshine. It’s a great place to explore the maze of alleyways, bars and restaurants.

They must then complete some info by pre- registering and be prepared to show a college ID at the door on Thursday the 26th.

The Wall Street Project was founded in 1996 by Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., and the Citizenship Education Fund, and officially launched by Rev.

from advisor Andrea Wolper:

If you like to sing, but have been putting that into the realm of “some day” . . .
if you already sing and want to stretch out and try new things . . .

if you love singing but are afraid to sing in front of other people . . .
join us in a warm, welcoming environment conducive to allowing music to flow from a place of relaxation and joyfulness. There’ll be some challenges, but there’ll be plenty of laughs and mutual support. If any of this sounds like you, consider taking the leap.

(And if it sounds like someone you know, please pass this info along to them.)

To my complete surprise, the workshop was featured in the news, HERE

More info, including how to register, and feedback from previous participants, is HERE.

Any questions or concerns? Just hit reply and ask!

Love, Andrea

P.S. Another nice surprise: “Parallel Lives” was named by Michael Nastos of WEMU as one of the top 10 jazz CDs of 2011!

from advisor Dr.Bob Goldman:

The International Sports Hall of Fame medals finally done. The final design of logo was picked from hundreds of submissions from artists around the world. The medal is probably largest ever presented at 6 inches in diameter, 1/2 inch thick and weighs over 2.5 pounds. It was hand crafted and carved, is coated in 24 karat gold, antiqued, with 32 inch long, 2 inch wide royal purple ribbon and will be presented in large silk lined embossed presentation case. Ceremonies will be held March, 2012 during the Arnold Schwarzenegger Sports Festival weekend.

Note the 10 rings at base of front of medal for Perfect ’10′ score, 5 stars above the earth signifying the 5 major continents of the globe, and on rear of medal, the Roman wreath presented to early Olympians. The name and class of each inductee will be engraved above base of wreath.

from advisor Michael Pollock:

There is no “normal” any more for career paths, so I thought it would be interesting to create a video series called How I Got Here, in which creative professionals talk about the twists and turns it took to get them where they are today – and the opportunities they seized.

Marc Andreessen said recently in the WSJ that “Software is eating the world.” There’s constant flux in the media, advertising, entertainment and design ecosystems we work in. So we are all curious to find out how other people find success – not so we can copy them slavishly, but so we can get ideas and inspiration to advance our own careers. We connect ideas and put things together in our own fresh way. (And let’s face it too, we are nosy: that’s why there’s TMZ!)

In this Sparkings you will meet three terrific creative professionals, who share their stories with me in our first How I Got Here videos. I’ve also included an article about how to approach a meeting with someone who can help you move your own career forwards.

I wish you a wonderful productive creative and successful 2012 and I look forward to hearing your stories of how you got to where you are. Perhaps yours could be the next How I Got Here video.

All the best, Michael Pollock

PS. For what it’s worth, Andreesen also said: “every company I work with is absolutely starved for talent. Qualified software engineers, managers, marketers and salespeople in Silicon Valley can rack up dozens of high- paying, high-upside job offers any time they want, while national unemployment and underemployment is sky high.

from advisor Carol Scott:

Carol’s Corner – FALL ECA NEWS

I ask you, “are you thriving?”

To thrive means to grow and prosper. Have you reached your full potential? Are you at the standard of excellence you were expecting? Do you feel fulfilled and happy?

Growth is never ending. We never stop learning and therefore, we must seek out new information, techniques, and ideas that stimulate our creativity and increase our knowledge. We must constantly explore and discover the world around us and try new experiences and opportunities whenever possible.

Knowledge alone is not enough. To really thrive, we must also be spiritually and emotionally fulfilled. How can we be more at peace and increase our happiness and well being? What experiences are out there that can enhance our inner self.

Becoming a part of a community is one way to thrive. We feel more connected and loved when we belong to a group. We thrive when we are able to share ideas, feelings, friendship, and love. Events offer us an enriched platform to be a part of a larger community of like- minded individuals who can share on many levels. We not only gain knowledge that can benefit us in our careers, more importantly, the event itself is an over sized out pouring of sharing, caring, and connection. It is a “festival” that generates it’s own kinetic energy

and lends an ease of accessibility enabling you to maximize your sense of community and increase your knowledge. You are able to join others in being part of something greater.

You are still able to connect with people through blogs, E- News and News magazines, community forums and social media platforms. As you connect to a larger group you will see how you are now more a part of things instead of being isolated and alone. There is strength in unity. In an ever increasing isolated world where it becomes too easy

to disengage, We as fitness professionals offer clients a way to attach, to become part of something greater. Surely, we too deserve the same opportunity!
