The Hailey Public Library takes great pleasure in launching Hispanic Heritage Month with a Family Friendly Kickoff, 4:00 – 7:00 PM on Friday, September 13, at Town Center West, 7 W Croy. Father and son duo Quinta Generaćion return with lively songs and great music. Local Salvadorian restaurant Lago Azul will offer delicious food with the first 50 meals free. Kid’s activities are the heart and soul of the Kickoff. This year’s activities include face painting, tissue paper flowers, Jenga and piñatas. The evening concludes with rousing rounds of Lotería, a traditional Mexican game similar to bingo but played with pinto beans as markers on special cards. Bilingual callers Herbert Romero & friends get the whole family involved and winners of each round get great prizes. For more information, visit www.haileypubliclibrary.org

BODYTRAFFIC
BODYTRAFFIC returns to the Argyros with an all new program including the Sun Valley premiere of I Forgot The Start by acclaimed choreographer Matthew Neenan. This inspired piece was created while in residency at The Argyros last summer. “Neenan dives into such complexities with utter sincerity, then adds touches of whimsy that cohere into a resonant work…I Forgot The Start [includes] songs by Sinéad O’Connor, Ozzie Kotani and Daniel Ho, and Sufjan Stevens that—like the dance itself—convey a sensory meditation on disconnection, connection, and perseverance.” Melissa Strong, Broad Street Review Additional repertory includes The Act Of Becoming, an energetic homage to Maurice Ravel’s iconic Boléro by Fernando Hernando Magadan, and Bloquea’o by BODYTRAFFIC’s own Joan Rodriguez, with original music by Pedro Osuna that blends traditional Cuban rhythms and live percussion accompaniment by Ricky Matute.
