Up and coming

Local dancers and storytellers in play
     Local dancers and storytellers will join with the pros when the Liz
Lerman Dance Exchange and storyteller Jon Spelman take to the stage for
three performances of an original work, "Safe House: Still Looking."
     The performance piece, which will tell the story of the Underground
Railroad in Delaware through stories and dance, was commissioned by the
University.
     It will be performed at 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday, May 20-21 and
again at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 22, at the Wilmington Friends Meeting House,
Fourth and West Streets, Wilmington.
     Tickets-at $15 for the general public, $8 for senior citizens and
University faculty and staff and $5 for children--may be obtained by
calling the box office at 831-2204.
     The Liz Lerman Dance Exchange is a modern dance company that creates
and presents performance pieces exploring the issues, ideas and emotions
that are a part of everyone's life. The equal and inseparable concerns of
artistic excellence and community involvement have defined the group's
identity.

     The reading, free and open to the public, will take place in Room 112
of Memorial Hall.
     The memoir of a family history, Writing Home takes the reader through
the life of an adolescent going back to England for a year of schooling.

Additional room for ADD lecture
     Due to the tremendous response to a lecture by Dr. Edward Hallowell,
MD., on attention deficit disorder (ADD), a second room has been added to
accommodate persons who were unable to obtain tickets to the lecture hall.
An additional 150 people will now be able to see and hear his talk on a
large screen television in an adjacent room.
     Hallowell is a physician and nationally recognized expert on the
diagnosis and treatment of ADD. His talk, "ADD Through the Life Span," will
be held at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, May 17 in Clayton Hall.
