Each fall, Medicare holds its Open Enrollment period, when members can assess current healthcare plans and prescription medications. Age Strong's certified SHINE (serving the health insurance needs of everyone) counselors will host in-person Open Enrollment and benefits events across the city for Boston residents age 60+ to make sure you're getting the best coverage for the least cost. 

It's recommended that every older adult assess plans each year, as medical needs change and prescription medication costs adjust. 

Age Strong advocates will be on-site to also help older adults find out if you're eligible for other cost-saving benefits including fuel assistance and food resources. 

Please call Age Strong to sign up for your in-person appointment at 617-635-4366. If you can't attend one of the planned sessions in Boston neighborhoods, you can meet with Age Strong advocates at Boston City Hall.

Sacred Spaces Series at Night: Breath/less

Breath/less is a solo for two dancers. Breath/less is a conjuring of breath and togetherness. The work is situated in ritual and connection, the consecration of space and of bodies together. Breath/less is a ritual of waiting, of suspended expectation, a holding pattern, a maintenance of hope in a time of brutality. It is also a memorial.

We invite the public to participate in the setting and lighting of the candles that light the performance, and to write or draw their own remembrances that are scattered amongst the candles. Breath/less was originally created at the height of the pandemic and is now a work that memorializes global shared experience, and now invites us to acknowledge and experience grief together, no matter what it is we are grieving. The public is guided by the dancers and volunteers to light, and then re-light over one hundred candles that create a space in which the dance occurs.

Waterfall - a movement workshop and outdoor participatory performance

Waterfall is a global ritual, taking place on iconic and overlooked staircases around the world. Twenty or more dancers cascade slowly together down a staircase. Waterfall is created in an intensive workshop in which dancers and other movers learn to move together as a body of water through a series of practices developed by Wendy Jehlen, Artistic Director of ANIKAYA Dance Theater that draw on elements of Butoh, Parkour, Contact Improvisation and Deep Listening.

This will be the third iteration of Waterfall in Boston.

Waterfall is an intersection between two of ANIKAYA's public dance series - Sacred Spaces and Mass Movement.

Sacred Spaces is a series of public space interventions that unveil the sacred in the urban landscape.

Mass Movement is a series of actions that call attention to urgent issues that require us to move together as a species to address. Mass Movement actions, like change, are impossible without many people moving together in solidarity. The practices that are taught in Mass Movement projects teach us to work together with care and to connect across what we imagine to be barriers.

The Waterfall has taken place in NYC; Boston; Washington, DC; Bamako, Mali; Kolkata, India; Tokyo, Japan and Tijuana, Mexico.

During the workshop we will learn ways of moving together, first on the floor and then on stairs. Wendy will guide participants through a series of exercises to prepare the body, the mind, and the group to create this performance together. The process will teach us to move not as individuals but as one body of water.
