Locations

Church of the Holy Communion (Friday, Saturday, Monday): 7401 Delmar Blvd., University City, Missouri. The church is on the northwest corner of Delmar and Jackson (see map); enter through the double door in the middle of the L-shaped building.

Wydown Dorm (Sunday): on the Washington University campus. Directions will be available at the Friday and Saturday sessions.

Other Basic Information

Shoes: We recommend clean, hard-soled shoes (leather or synthetic), as rubber soles make turning difficult. We now have a wooden floor at the church. Some people find the floor slick and others find it sticky, so we suggest that you bring two types of shoes if available.

Food: Meals will feature mostly Hungarian food. Ancient cultures and relative isolation from the West have allowed for Hungarian cooking to develop its unique and wonderful flavors. Please make dinner reservations by Friday, November 22. Contributions of fruits and sweets for snacks will be appreciated. Call Nancy Couture (314-275-8228) for questions about food.

Crash Space is available. Please indicate your needs on the registration form or call Diana Blanchard (314-726-5737).

Scholarships are available. Please call Gretchen Tomazic (314-638-4024).

For Other Information: Call Rex Couture (home 314-275-8228, work 314-935-4194) or Diana Blanchard (314-726-5737).

This workshop is supported in part by The Regional Arts Commission of Saint Louis.
