Happening This Week
- National Geographic Live: The Clayton Center for the Arts is a presenting partner of the National Geographic Live speaker series. Tune in on the Clayton Center Facebook page every Wednesday at 1 p.m. (ET)/10 a.m. (PT)! This week, the series is going backstage with wildlife filmmaker Filipe DeAndrade, host of National Geographic Wild’s “Untamed.” Get ready for a hilarious and eye-opening look at life behind the camera — from learning the subtleties of "shark body language" to earning the trust of a humpback whale. He’ll share stories of singing with wild dolphins, reveal the secret messages of cat scat, and celebrate why sharks are spectacular, not scary. (Note: the Facebook livestream is accessible to anyone, even if you don’t have a Facebook account)
