Encore Stage & Studio kicked off spring by making theatre more accessible with the expansion of its Healthy Play Initiative (HPI). Since 2016, children have experienced the creative arts with Encore teaching artists while their parents picked up healthy food for their families at the Arlington Food Assistance Center distribution locations. This spring, Encore is collaborating with Arlington Partners for Affordable Housing (APAH) to expand HPI to young residents of affordable housing in Arlington.

“All children deserve to experience the life-changing power of the arts” says Sara Duke, Executive Director. Students enjoy a safe and nurturing environment in HPI classes where they learn new skills in a fun and engaging manner. Children have the opportunity to build their creativity, teamwork and storytelling skills right where they live.

JetBlack.ai is a start-up luxury electric robotaxi service founded in Arlington, Virginia. We hope to launch services in Greater Washington and around the world as early as 2023 and no later than 2025. Our mission is to contribute to reduced traffic fatalities and injuries, improved air quality, and enhanced mobility for the elderly and disabled.

We are presently taking reservations for our Edition 1 model, which is a limousine-quality electric autonomous vehicle based on the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter. You can pay for ownership of this $99,990 vehicle by putting it onto our robotaxi network when it’s not in use by you. We are also in search of potential franchisees who will own and maintain a fleet of JetBlack vehicles. Prospective franchisees should be hardworking people who are interested in owning a piece of a transformational industry. Check us out at www.jetblack.ai to learn more.

Arlington’s First Church of Christ, Scientist, will host a Zoom talk, “Angry No More: from Hurt to Health through Forgiveness,” on Thursday, June 3, 11:30 a.m. by Michelle Nanouche. Go here to register and share the link with others. Phone access: 914 614 3429 code 514 321 504. The event is free. You can also watch the talk live at the Christian Science Reading Room, 123 Little Falls Street, Falls Church City.

A practitioner of Christian Science healing and international speaker, Michelle Nanouche says, “Through honest talk about the questions people ask, I give a one hour lecture that tackles the essentials of Christian Science — its unique value as a system of healing, its practical Christianity, and its broader contribution to solving individual and societal problems today.” Nanouche’s responses to viewers’ questions are based on the works and teachings of Jesus as recorded in the Bible, and as discussed in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures written by Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Christian Science movement. Nanouche will also offer compelling examples, including physical healings, from her own experience to illustrate elements of Christian Science treatment.

ETC Summer Camps are back for in-person theatre and filmmaking!

Theatre and Film are uniquely suited for the return to in-person learning. We teach students about negative space — air between performers — and how we use it to tell a story. Audience experiences are primarily led by the director’s choice of stage movement (blocking). In ETC-on-Film, we teach students to choose strong shots to enhance storytelling.

Using the tool of imagination, a common camp warm-up is passing the ball of energy. We make eye contact to connect with another person across the room and “send” them energy through vocal and physical gestures.
