"Some peopje forget about the
body-that's my whole approach-to
teach people to feel where their bodies
are," said Robin Wakeland, sculptor and
dance instructor.
Wakeland will direct a dance
workshop, sponsored by the Carolina
Union, entitled "The Ritual of the Self,
the Other, the Group. Improvisation will
be the basis for the workshop.
Beginning Thursday, July 13, the
workshop will meet twice a week for four
weeks from 7-9 p.m. in the Union. 'The
goal of the class is to teach people to
move. Dance is used as a tool, but it isn't
a class in dance technique. Anybody can
come," Wakeland said.
There will be a S 1 5 charge for the four
week class. Sign up sheets are at the
information desk in the Union.

Th Last of Sheila A mystery story of
games and murder among Hollywood's
beautiful people. The plot is superbly
crafted, and enacted very well indeed.
Highly recommended, even though its
sophistication is probably a type of
decadence. Thursday.
This Is a Hijack Cheapo sky drama, almost
an amateur production. Thursday.
Trader Horn According to critics, this
safari drama is really terrible, a sub kiddie
show achievement. Through Saturday.
The Train Robbers A John Wayne western,
magnificently photographed, but poorly
acted, with truly terrible dialogue. Through
Saturday.
Live and Let Die The new James Bond with
feeble-minded wisecracks and perfunctory
action sequences. Roger Moore does all right
as Bond, but qualitatively, this series has
had it. Starts Friday.
Cahill, U.S. Marshall -A John Wayne
western, and according to critics, not one of
his best. Starts Friday.
Fetlini's Roma Fellini's view of the eternal
city seems to have a Jack of fresh
inspiration, and this causes the essential
emptiness of the project to become all too
apparent. Still, even at less than his best,
Fellini is the master of images and th f Hm
c obviousJyjb work of a cinematic genius.

During the first class Wakeland will
show a film of a class she taught in the
Union two summers ago.
Wakeland, 25. graduated from UNC
last December with a B.F.A. in sculpture.
Currently she is employed as a draftsman
at the National Educational Laboratories
in Durham. She hopes to continue doing
both dance and ceramics in the future.
A year ago Wakeland went to San
Francisco and studied at the Ann Halprin
Institute-"West coast avant-garde," she
said. There she took individual classes and
a workshop on ritual. The instruction
relied heavily on improvisation, she said,
and that has influenced her teaching.
Wakeland also studied with Julia Wray,
a student of Martha Graham, who is
currently at Duke. Wakeland has directed
three dance workshop for the Union.
Each class this semester will begin with
warm, up exercises to get people moving.

through Tuesday.
The First Circle Adaption of the novel of a
prison camp is really terrible, according to
the critics. Starts Wednesday.
Slaughterhouse Five-Adaption of
Vonnegut's novel of directed, acted,

Bullitt An excellent study of violence
among criminals and law enforcers. Very
well acted and directed, with the famous
chase scene. Tuesday.
My Little Chickadee With Mae West and
W.C. Fields, this comedy western should
have been much better. There are some
amusing lines, but it's generally quite
disappointing. Sunday.
Cool Hand Luke Story of a hero in a prison
camp. A bit heavy with the symbolism, but
superbly done in every respect. Tuesday.
All shows at 8 p.m. in the Great Hall.

Wakeland said. "It's very important to
my approach to movement." She will use
various exercises learned from yoga.
During the last half of each class there
will be improvisation. "Each individual in
the class will act on their own, they'll
dance in pairs and as a group. It's a ritual
of finding out what is the self, the other,
the group," Wakeland explained.
In the past Wakeland used music to
structure her classes. This time she will be
using the voice and ideas.
"Most people aren't aware of the voice
as a bod Jy function," Wakeland said. The
group will explore the use of chants and
screams,! and the use of sounds that are
not words.
Wakeland gave examples of the ideas
that she will use during the classes:
fear-of the self, the other, the group;
trust-the opposite of fear; giving-from
one person to another; and
schizophrenia-when people improvise in

and will also introduce specific
techniques for the group to use
in expressing their reactions to these
ideas. She mentioned the use of slow
motion and the group handling an
individual.
Wakeland would like to film the last
session of improvisation. "Each class is
like nothing else and what they do won't
ever happen again." Films are good for
self-critjicism and they are aesthetically
pleasing, she said.
Wakeland would like to see her films
broadcast. "All my students are beautiful
dancers," she said. 'The films are very
sculptural."
