The Diana Wortham Theatre at Pack
Place in downtown Asheville announces its September 2013 Intersections events: Indigo Shibori
Craft Group with Handmade in America artist Linda LaBelle on Tuesday, September
10 at 6:00 p.m.; and Book Discussion Group featuring a conversation about With or Without You: A Memoir by
Domenica Ruta on Tuesday, September 17 at 6:30 p.m. a series held in The Forum
at Diana Wortham Theatre.
The Craft Group, presented in partnership with Handmade in America,
meets monthly to create a work of art under the direction of a local artist. In
the Indigo Shibori workshop on Tuesday September 10, participants will learn
how to make a green, eco-friendly and sustainable indigo vat using no harsh
chemicals with virtually no odor. Participants will learn four ancient resist
techniques (Shibori), and will dye a
cotton scarf in the indigo. Handmade in America artist Linda LaBelle is an
Asheville-based weaver and natural-dyer. She has taught weaving techniques and
both indigo and natural dyeing in India, Rwanda, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan,
Mexico, and Brooklyn, NY. The cost of the Indigo Shibori workshop is $30, which
includes all materials, and reservations are made by calling the Diana Wortham
Theatre box office at (828) 258-3387 or by visiting www.dwtheatre.com.
The Book Discussion Group is an opportunity for book lovers to gather
regularly for lively, casual and insightful discussions on selected books in a
relaxed atmosphere with drinks and food available. There is no charge to
participate; the only requirement is that you read the book. The Book
Discussion Group on Tuesday, September 17 focuses on With or Without You: A Memoir by Domenica Ruta, a powerful,
inspiring, compulsively readable, and beautifully redemptive story about loving
and leaving, which The New York Times
Book Review calls “a luminous, layered accomplishment.”
Featuring a full season of
classes, discussions, and performances, Intersections
is an opportunity for patrons to connect more deeply with the arts, artists,
and each other. The Forum, a large multi-purpose space adjacent to the theatre
and accessible from the theatre’s main lobby, is the venue for all
Intersections events unless otherwise announced. To obtain more information on
the Diana Wortham Theatre’s Intersections Series, reserve a space in a class or
group, or purchase performance tickets, call the theatre’s box office at (828)
257-4530 or visit www.dwtheatre.com.
