Actors'/Writers' Creative Workshop
This workshop is designed for writers and actors who wish to share their work with an audience. The goal is to develop dramatic work based on real life challenges, perspectives and learning. Participants will work toward creating a theater piece made up of individual pieces written in the group relating to the topic of aging and creativity. This 11-week course is facilitated by Lyda Woods from the American Conservatory Theater. Enrollment is limited. Please call the Senior Center at 541.488.5342 for more information.

Tai Chi for Older Adults
Tai Chi is a moving meditation that also strengths bones and muscles, improves balance, and increases flexibility. In this class we use various forms of Tai Chi to create a flowing routine that can be done anywhere. We have recently added Qi Gong, the movement of energy through the body. The class is on-going and teaching is continuous so you may join us at any time. Your first class is as our guest.
