SUMMARY:Author Helen Macdonald Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Schlitz Audubon Nature Center and Boswell Book Company are pleased to welcome back (virtually) Helen Macdonald\, author of H is for Hawk. In this Zoom event\, Macdonald will be discussing her new essay collection\, Vesper Flights\, in conversation with our Raptor Program Director\, Lindsay Obermeier. The event will be introduced with a short\, exclusive video of Helen Macdonald out and about in the fields around her home in England\, talking about her inspirations for the book. \nAbout the event\nTickets\, which are $40\, include the event and a hardcover copy of Vesper Flights and benefit our Raptor Program. The first 50 people who register will receive a custom bookplate signed by the author. Attendees can choose to pick up the book at Boswell Book Company (2559 N. Downer Ave.\, Milwaukee) or have it shipped media mail to a US address for an additional $4. If you choose pick-up\, you will get a confirmation when your book is ready. Attendees will receive a link to the Zoom event via email on September 17. \nAbout the book\nMacdonald brings together her best-loved essays that explore the human relationship with the natural world along with new pieces in a collection both moving and frank\, personal and political. Meditating on notions of captivity and freedom\, immigration and flight\, Helen invites us into her most intimate experiences\, including observing massive migrations of songbirds from the top of the Empire State Building\, and watching tens of thousands of cranes in Hungary. She writes with heart-tugging clarity about wild boar\, swifts\, mushroom hunting\, migraines\, twentieth-century spies\, the strangeness of birds’ nests\, and the unexpected guidance and comfort we find when watching wildlife. Read the title essay. \nAbout the author\nHelen Macdonald is a writer\, poet\, naturalist\, and historian of science. Her book H is for Hawk won many prizes\, including the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction\, the Costa Book of the Year\, and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction.

SUMMARY:Wild Space Creates Parking Lot Dance #2: On the River
DESCRIPTION:Wild Space Dance Company presents Parking Lot Dance #2: On the River\, September 16-17 at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. in the parking lot at 1301 N. Water Street. Reserved tickets are $22 for Premium Lot Level chair seating and $15 for Standing Room Upper Level locations. The second in the company’s performance series\, Parking Lot Dance #2: On the River brings audiences to watch dance in one of the city’s most unusual downtown parking lots on the bank of the Milwaukee River. Advanced ticket reservations are required: www.wildspacedance.org. Tickets will be on sale beginning September 4th. \nAs night falls along the Milwaukee River\, dancers appear and disappear\, moving in and out of headlights\, navigating and accompanied by seagulls\, geese\, and cars traveling over bridges that frame the lot. City traffic and party boats pass continually\, surrounding dancers and audience. Musical interludes of saxophone and pauses to feed the seagulls round out the evening. \nThe Edison Lot\, tucked down from the city\, offers an intimate out-of-the car viewing experience from the safety of a chair reserved for you. \n“The sold-out success of this summer’s Drive-in Dance revealed the need for live arts experience and the thrill of dancing again with a live audience. The Parking Lot Dance Series allows us to offer a full season of live outdoor performance created in parking lots throughout the city\,” said Artistic Director\, Debra Loewen. \nPerformers: Tori Isaac\, Mauriah Kraker\, Molly Keifer\, Danielle Lohuis\, Jenni Reinke\, Lindsey Ruenger and Joe Willard Riggenbach. Saxophonist Nick Zoulek returns to Milwaukee for his fifth site-specific collaboration with the company. \n
