• Since attending her first class in 2004, DeAnna has dedicated herself to the art, beauty and magic of American Tribal Style (ATS)® Belly dance. Under the direction of Megha Gavin, director of Devyani Dance Company, DeAnna learned the precise, intricate details of each movement’s technique and was trained as a professional level dancer and instructor. In 2007 she received General Skills and Teacher Training certifications. Her continued devotion to the finite details of ATS® led her to further studies in anatomy, kinesiology and yoga. In 2013 she became a registered Yoga Alliance Teacher (200hr RYT) and in 2015 became a Sister Studio Continuing Education instructor and graduate of the first ATS® Advanced Teacher Training. With a passion for excellence, she regularly studies with the world’s leading bellydance and yoga instructors. DeAnna continues to introduce new training methodologies while still maintaining the pure tradition of ATS®. Her workshops, classes and private lessons offer an innovative blend of kinesiology, conditioning and dance drills with a focus on detailed and solid technique teaching dancers how to gently push themselves to their edge and discover their body’s fullest potential.

Since their beginnings in 2003, Eugene’s Uncle Stumbles have grown beyond the “first impression” of their name… over ten years later, the name Uncle Stumbles reminds us that each of us stumbles and trips every once and a while-and your friends cover your back. Uncle Stumbles plays late ’60’s style rock and roll with an Americana tinge. An honest exploratory music that draws from influences as broad as Frank Zappa, to Stravinsky to the Grateful Dead, Uncle Stumbles continues to impress and win over crowds wherever they play. Uncle Stumbles plays to the moment, whatever that may be, often surprising themselves in the process.

Drummer Mike Clark cut his teeth playing in Eugene back in the 90’s. Clark is one of those rare drummers that plays to the front of the music ala Elvin Jones and the Meters’ Joseph Modeleste.
Drums are a solo instrument in Mike’s playing, the beat and groove are trusted and implied in this unique style.

Anthony Forcellini has written the lion’s share of original material for Uncle Stumbles. Forcellini studied saxophone for 13 years including studying at the Berklee College of Music in Boston before switching to guitar for the Detroit area band Resurgency in the late 1980’s. Anthony is also the lead guitar player in the Garcia tribute band Cap’n Trips.

Ryan Galas studied music at LCC as well as playing in Figure It Out and Innerstate. Ryan’s bass playing is heavy on “linear” line playing in the style of Phil Lesh. He also plays upright bass in the roots group the Wainwright Brothers.

Dylan Shock’s first word was guitar. He has been playing for over half his life, approaching a musical intuition and vocabulary of one much older than his years. He started performing publicly with Anthony Forcellini in the Americana duo Dylan and Anthony.

Over the years, members of Uncle Stumbles have opened for the Cast of Clowns, Clinton Fearon, George Porter, The Zen Tricksters, The Bridge, Jefferson Starship, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and Quicksilver Messenger Service. They have also been involved in fundraising for community radio stations KRVM and KSOW-LP. Come on down and visit everyone’s favorite uncle sometime. You never know what might happen.

Why Walk When You Can Run? Exploration of Locomotion Transitions in Sport and Everyday Life

With Mike Hahn, PhD, Associate Professor of Human Physiology and the Director of the Bowerman Sports Science Clinic at the University of Oregon

August 8, 2019 | 6:30-8:30PM; Doors open @ 5PM | $5 Suggested Donation
 

As humans move about in their everyday life, they encounter environmental conditions which challenge their locomotion patterns. Imagine being late for work and running to catch the bus, or needing to stop suddenly when something crosses your path. Or consider your rec-league soccer match when you’ve got to budget your running bouts to be able to last the entire match. These events require changes to locomotion patterns which can have a large impact on your ability to sustain physical exercise and to enjoy the world around you.

In this talk, biomechanist and sports scientist Mike Hahn will describe the biomechanical and physiological principles which govern the ability of humans to navigate the world in creative ways. Dr. Hahn will discuss examples ranging from the challenges of everyday life, to the performance of elite sporting events, to development of assistive devices intended to facilitate broader engagement in sport and exercise.

Dr. Michael Hahn joined the Department of Human Physiology in 2012, after having spent four years as a research scientist at the VA Puget Sound in Seattle and five years as a faculty member at Montana State University in Bozeman. He received a B.S. from Colorado Mesa University in 1996, an M.S. from Iowa State University in 2000, and a Ph.D. from the University of Oregon in 2003. Between graduate degrees, he worked at the Mayo Clinic in the Orthopedic Biomechanics Laboratory, specializing in hand and wrist joint function after injury and joint replacement. His research interests have ranged from prevention of falls, to utilization of computational analysis tools (such as artificial neural networks, support vector machines, and genetic algorithms) for solving complex modeling and optimization tasks, to enhancing the performance of fly-casting.
