DESCRIPTION:On Sunday, Dec. 1, at 10:30 AM, the PEACE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST (formerly 
 known as First Congregational Church in Santa Cruz) will host a performance 
 of Mosaic, a dance concert by Karl Schaffer about peace, justice, culture, 
 and conflict in the Middle East. The performance will be followed by a 
 discussion with the congregation led by Senior Minister Dave Grishaw-Jones. 
 The title refers to the range of subjects that inspired the choreography, 
 from the Palestinian/Israeli struggle to the mosaic tilings common in 
 Middle Eastern art.\n\nIncluded in Mosaic are several dances set to Jewish 
 Diaspora and Arabic folk songs recorded by Santa Cruz world music group 
 Zambra. The mathematics of Islamic tiling designs will be portrayed through 
 live “video tessellations,” or video mosaics, of dancers. \n\nOther 
 dance works include:\n“Machine Gun,” a tap dance to the rapid-fire 
 machine gun sounds of a Jimi Hendrix song, about the relentless march of 
 death of contemporary warfare.\n“Into a Bar,” in which two dancers spar 
 via popular online jokes about Palestinians and Israelis.\n“The Mourning 
 After” – a solo set to Bach depicting the loss of a child in war, 
 performed by Maria Basile, co-director of sjDANCEco.\n"Bombingham" - a solo 
 by Karl Schaffer exploring his growing up Jewish in the Deep South during 
 the civil rights era and his connecting of these experiences to the 
 situation in Palestine and Israel.\n\nSanta Cruzans from all walks of life 
 are welcome to attend and experience the power of dance -- to inspire 
 peacemaking and provoke conversation.\n\n
