For the twenty-first summer in a row, there is an inordinately creative group of young people writing original dramatic works in our fair city. Over the years, the Northfield Arts Guild’s Young People’s Theater Workshop has grown into a Northfield tradition.
This Workshop, often referred to as YPTW, offers classes in theater arts from acting to dance and movement to improvisation, all taught by talented and committed theater and education professionals. On top of the education offered to the participants of the Workshop, the young people write original plays, rehearse them, and perform them for the general public! These plays are sometimes silly, sometimes thought-provoking, and sometimes important social commentary. What the plays always include are the thoughts and creativity of the young people involved.

For the twenty-first summer in a row, there is an inordinately creative group of young people writing original dramatic works in our fair city. Over the years, the Northfield Arts Guild’s Young People’s Theater Workshop has grown into a Northfield tradition.
This Workshop, often referred to as YPTW, offers classes in theater arts from acting to dance and movement to improvisation, all taught by talented and committed theater and education professionals. On top of the education offered to the participants of the Workshop, the young people write original plays, rehearse them, and perform them for the general public! These plays are sometimes silly, sometimes thought-provoking, and sometimes important social commentary. What the plays always include are the thoughts and creativity of the young people involved.

RE: NORTHFIELD JOB CLUB MEETINGS RESUME!
On Wednesday, July 27, 2011 from 8:30 – 9:30 AM the Northfield Public Library will host the July meeting of the Northfield Job Club in the library meeting room.
Presented by staff from the Minnesota Workforce Center, Faribault Office, the topic of this workshop will be “Resumes – Who Would You Hire”.
Job club meetings include both informative presentations and lively discussion. Many studies have shown the job club participants are more persistent with their job search efforts and consequently show a higher rate of success finding work.
Job club meetings are free and open to the public and advance registration is not required.

Adinkra is a beautifully decorated cloth worn in Western Africa. The cloth is filled with patterns and symbols, often telling a story or sending a message. In this class artists will explore African adinkra and begin to understand the importance of symbolism within art as a form of communication. They will then create their own unique symbol and carve it from a potato! This will become their stamp for their own adinkra inspired cloth. Angie Ekern teaches art at Prairie Creek Community School and has a passion for guiding children through the creative process. Call 507-650-0106 to register.
