"Starved" - Film on eating disorder recovery
Come see a film on eating disorder recovery at a brown-bag lunch sponsored by the Center for Counseling & Health Promotion on Friday, March 6th from noon to 1pm in the Century Room of the Christensen Center.
"Starved" is a short documentary film by Daria Matza that follows five women with varying experiences of disordered eating (anorexia, bulimia, compulsive overeating and exercise addiction), and their paths to recovery. Experts like Anita Johnston, Mary Taylor and Geneen Roth talk about the meaning and function of eating disorders and the gifts of recovery. "Starved" provides a mental, emotional, and spiritual lens into this pervasive and devastating issue. Q&A after the film will be led by Beth Carlson of the Center for Counseling & Health Promotion.
Presented by Counseling & Health Promotion as part of Body Peace: Eating Disorders Awareness Week.
Check out the book display in the campus Bookstore for more resources on body image and recovery from disordered eating. More information on eating disorders and recovery is available on the CCHP Self-Help page at http://www.augsburg.edu/cchp/eatingconcerns.html.

Aaron Gabriel directing Stages Theater
Auggie, Aaron Gabriel, is directing the regional premiere of "How Can You Run With A Shell On Your Back?" at Stages Theatre in Hopkins. Along with a cast of young performers, the composer's mother Marilee Mahler, will perform this new musical which was given its world premiere in 2008 at the Chicago Shakespeare Festival and won the regional Tony award later that year.
To hear samples of the songs, go to www.michaelmahler.com and click on 'How Can You Run...' in the upper right-hand corner.
The production of "HOW CAN YOU RUN WITH A SHELL ON YOUR BACK?" runs from March 6 through March 22, 2009. Tickets are available at www.stagestheatre.org or by calling (952) 979-1111.
The story: Six students are stuck in detention, each for a different reason. When one of them reveals a book called "Aesop’s Fables," the fun begins. Mixing the modern world of student life with the wonderful lessons of the Tortoise and the Hare, the Ant and the Grasshopper, and other beloved stories, Stages Theatre Company alumnus Michael Mahler and Alan Schmuckler have created this original, musical comedy.
