Art Thieves ConservatoryDates: Wednesday 1/15-3/26 3:30-5. No class 2/19.Performances: Wednesday 3/26 at 5pm and Sunday 3/30 at 2pm.Location: The Philipstown Depot TheatreAge: 4-8 gradeInstructor: Bill CoeliusCost: $395Class size: Max of 15Art Thieves Conservatory is a hands-on, fully immersive theatrical experience for the brilliant and sneaky. Improv, singing, dancing, monologues, writing, YouTube videos and smeared clown make-up all wait within the walls of the ATC. (Previous experience and/or actual skill at singing and dancing not required, and if bad at it, must be really bad.)Each year, the Art Thieves Conservatory chooses to steal a regular theatre production and create their own version. The regular actors are cast aside, the programs are torn up, and the audience is locked in. Details to follow. (Keep this to yourselves for now, as we don't want to give it away!) Each Art Thieves Conservatory student must follow a modest but strict manifesto:1. No original props. You cannot use the original props of the stolen production. You must make your own with duct tape, newspaper, tin foil, and any recyclable material you can fit into your backpack. 2. No original lighting. You cannot use the lighting grid of the captured theater. You must use flashlights and scoop lights and anything else you can fit into your backpack. 3. We must write our own script. This stolen version is completely up to us. What does this play mean to you? You can keep what you want and toss the rest out the door. You can introduce new characters, monologues, dance numbers, or songs. Every production is stolen but original. Oh -- and performed in under 37 minutes (the average police department response time). The Dean of the Art Thieves Conservatory is professional actor Bill Coelius, a resident of Cold Spring, TV/Film teacher at T. Schreiber Studio in NYC, has over 20 years of arts in education experience and is being released on bail for this special circumstance. www.billcoelius.com

Tai Chi 2025 - Tai Chi Class - Spring 2025
Philipstown Tai Chi Class Marc Sabin teaches Tai Chi as a body/mind/spiritual practice. He guides students with great care, focusing on postural misalignments, internal dynamics and the powerful health benefits of the practice. When done correctly, Tai Chi is a well-rounded physical regimen that facilitates more comfort, greater mobility and increased strength. The gentle movements improve balance and equilibrium. Its benefits go far beyond a relaxed form of exercise and helps restore overall vitality. After a series of careful Qigong warm-ups, the Beginners’ Class focuses on the first eight postural movements of the popular Yang Family Tai Chi Form. About MarcMarc’s studies began in 1976. Before devoting himself to Tai Chi, he earned two black belts and an advanced diploma in Escrima, a Filipino stick-fighting art. He is a highly regarded instructor.

For residents only! It’s the anti-aging workout for active older adults who are looking to improve balance, flexibility, and strength. For our “Barre Tenders”, the barre (or in most cases for students – a chair) is used as a prop for balance, while performing low-impact exercises that focus on isometric strength training (holding your body still while you contract a specific set of muscles) combined with high reps of small range-of-motion movements. For our class: NO actual Barre is required, just a chair or a solid surface (table, countertop, etc). Please note, however: There is no seated work with this program, you will be standing for the duration of class.*Water, towel, and light hand weights are recommended -- but not required.This class will be held in person and live streamed via ZOOM.
