----------------

Desperate to undo the curse binding them to each other, an impulsive sorcerer and his curmudgeonly rival venture deep into a magical forest in search of a counterspell—only to discover that magic might not be the only thing pulling them together.

Leovander Loveage is a master of small magics.

He can summon butterflies with a song, or turn someone’s hair pink by snapping his fingers. Such minor charms don’t earn him much admiration from other sorcerers (or his father), but anything more elaborate always blows up in his face. Which is why Leo vowed years ago to never again write powerful magic.

That is, until a mix-up involving a forbidden spell binds Leo to obey the commands of his longtime nemesis, Sebastian Grimm. Grimm is Leo’s complete opposite—respected, exceptionally talented, and an absolutely insufferable curmudgeon. The only thing they agree on is that getting caught using forbidden magic would mean the end of their careers. They need a counterspell, and fast. But Grimm casts spells, he doesn’t undo them, and Leo doesn’t mess with powerful magic.

Chasing rumors of a powerful sorcerer with a knack for undoing curses, Leo and Grimm enter the Unquiet Wood, a forest infested with murderous monsters and dangerous outlaws alike. To dissolve the curse, they’ll have to uncover the true depths of Leo’s magic, set aside their long-standing rivalry, and—much to their horror—work together.

Even as an odd spark of attraction flares between them.

Lakou Mizik from Haiti returns to the Center for Arts at the Armory for another mystical, soulful, dance party inducing live show.

Lakou Mizik is a powerhouse collective of Haitian roots music with an energy and a mix of styles that feels ethereal and familiar at the same time. The band came together in the wake of the 2010 earthquake that devastated Haiti to show the world that their country was much more than the sum of headlines that were being shot around the globe, and that message is even more relevant today. Their latest album, “Leave the Bones,” is a ground-breaking collaboration between the multigenerational Lakou Mizik and Grammy-winning electronic musician Joseph Ray. Their album “HaitiaNola,” celebrating the shared cultural roots of Haiti and New Orleans with noted guests including the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, will also surely get you in the mood for this not-to-be-missed concert.

Today, with their positive messages and roots revival music, they have become one of Haiti’s hottest exports and have gained an international following with their critically acclaimed debut album “Wa Di Yo.”
Experience Lakou Mizik on November 15! Doors open at 7:00 PM, the concert will start at 8:00 PM.

Admission is sliding scale, $10-$25 cash or Venmo at door.

Blues Union is a friendly weekly social partner dance in Union Square, held on Thursdays at 16 Bow St, Somerville, MA 02143 in Dance Union Studio.

Partners not required. Come solo, with dance partners, or friends!

Blues is a dance form that allows for a great diversity of expression, with a broad vocabulary. It developed along with swing dance in African-American communities as a blend of African and European dance styles. The dance has a heavy focus on partner connection, and connection to the ground with weight and momentum. There is a definite "pulse" as the dancer sinks in with each beat. It is a tonic for the soul. Through it, you can connect to the past, the present, and each other.

Each evening includes a 1 hour beginner-friendly lesson before the social dance.

(7:00p - 8:00p) Lesson
(8:00p - 9:00p) Community Socializing Hour
(9:00p - 11:00p) Social Dance
