The UMSL Hunger Experiment
Students at the University of Missouri - St. Louis' Newman Center had the chance to experience the disproportion of the haves and have-nots in an experiment last Thursday. Read more about how students reacted to a small-scale illustration of living in dire poverty versus high income. While their experiment focuses on worldwide hunger, it touched on the universal feeling of being lesser-than that comes with being inadequately nourished, regardless of if they're living in Africa or St. Louis.
Want to help some locals who know that feeling all too well because hunger is their reality? Check out LiveFeed's shows this week.
Wednesday's open mic night at both The Gramophone (3234 Manchester in The Grove) and Llewelyn's Pub (17 Moody, Webster Groves). Shows start at 9:00.
Thursday, Treble Clef Palette bring their jammy funk to The Gramophone. Cover charge is $5. Show starts at 10. Here's a preview.
Friday, Tonya Gilmore continues the free concerts series at Washington University's Kemper Art Museum at 6 PM. Check out her performance at Hartford Coffee with Tyler Davis.
In the mood for something different? How about belly dancing in Clayton? Aalim Dance of St.Louis presents AZIZA in Concert with performers from St.Louis and the midwest region. They'll be at the Sheraton Clayton Plaza Hotel (7730 Bonhomme in downtown Clayton) all weekend. The main performance is Saturday night, but you can get the low-down on how to shimmy at workshops throughout the weekend. Check the Aalim Dance of St. Louis website for pricing. If you've never had the thrill of sitting by a dancer with a sword balanced on her head, you need to attend this event!
And don't forget! Off Broadway gives $1 from each cover charge to LiveFeed, so pay them a visit. This week you can catch Langhorne Slim, Rose's Big Ol' Party with a full funk line-up, Bolt Action Thrill, an evening with Lola Van Ella and the St. Louis Burlesque Showcase, Team Relevance, and Left Lane Cruiser with The Monads and Fattback. So go pay Stephen a visit and thank him for all he does to make the St. Louis music scene so awesome.
