2012Schedule TBA
2011 was a banner year of programming at Center Portion, featuring the Mayoral Tutorial, a screening of indie film, Waste Land, and the Holiday concerts with The Crooked Mouth, just to name a few. We are still putting together this year's schedule, and look forward to hosting original writing and performance in our Logan Square space. There is plenty going on elsewhere in Chicago, and here are a few things Sheila Donohue recommends checking out:

Bradley Childbirth Educationnatural childbirth classes with Julie Parache
You can give birth without fear. This is the central idea behind The Bradley Method® of childbirth education, taught at Center Portion by certified instructor, Julie Parache. Julie is passionate about educating women and their
families about childbirth. She has a strong belief that women’s bodies
are designed to give birth and she trusts in the natural birth process
because 90% of the time, birth goes as it should.
Julie says,
“Pregnancy is one of the most life-affirming and miraculous moments in
a woman’s life, but more and more often it’s treated like an illness.
Tragically, women in our culture are completely unfamiliar with the
process of giving birth until they have a baby themselves, and for most
of us, the ‘unknown’ can be intimidating and scary. Without meaningful
education and preparation before labor, our concern for our babies may
lead us down the slippery slope of unnecessary medical intervention. I
want to help put the control back in the hands of laboring women and
their partners.”
