By also looking at his first commission, the Admiral David Farragut Monument; his final work, the General Sherman Monument; and the magisterial Robert Gould Shaw Memorial/54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment on the Boston Common, students will gain an appreciation of Saint-Gaudens’s pioneering integration of architecture, landscape design, and monumental sculpture.

BASIC COOKING SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES

TECHNIQUES OF COOKING PART II

Dagmar Smith Chef, Graduate of Cambridge School of Culinary Art

Ploy Khunisorn Ploy’s Kitchen, ployskitchen.com

Develop classic cooking skills that will help you understand recipes and allow you to improvise. We’ll start with knife skills and move on to basic techniques. We will discuss cuts of meats, where to shop, and kitchen equipment. In Section 01, we’ll focus on cooking a full course meal from soup and appetizer through dessert and enjoy it with wine while discussing pairings. We’ll also make (and eat!) roast chicken, hummus, oven-roasted potatoes, cucumber salad, blueberry muffins, wine-poached pears, and chocolate chip cookies.

EXPLORING FEMALE SEXUALITY: A JOURNEY OF SELF-DISCOVERY: A WORKSHOP FOR WOMEN Anita P. Hoffer PhD, Ed.D. The cultural taboo on talking openly about sex in our society leaves women ignorant of the sexual behaviors of their peers and self-conscious about their own sexual habits and concerns.

We will also review the female anatomy of pleasure, discuss how little understood features of these anatomical structures can enhance pleasure and view rare footage from a clinical research laboratory in Copenhagen of the physiology of orgasm. We will review the facts and dispel the myths about orgasm and about the very natural and universal behavior of self-pleasuring—and we will discuss the lifelong health benefits of sexual activity.

This tour features the architecture of Thomas Dawes, John Smibert, Charles Bulfinch, Henry Hobson Richardson, Peabody & Stearns, Guy Lowell, and McKim, Mead & White.

For more than two centuries, Brattle Street has been one of the finest residential streets in America. In 1775, George Washington and his army made their headquarters in the abandoned mansions of seven wealthy loyalists—all of which still stand today. In the centuries since, Brattle Street residents have invented baking powder, Fig Newtons, Polaroid cameras, and Sadie Hawkins Day. On this walking tour, we will see these sites and the homes of the poets Longfellow and Lowell.

A SPECIAL GIFT TO SHOW HER HOW MUCH SHE MEANS TO YOU MOTHER’S DAY TOUR OF THE ESPLANADE Boston By Foot The Esplanade is one of Boston’s best loved parks with stunning views of the Charles River. From the filling of the Back Bay to the construction of James Jackson Storrow Memorial Drive, the Esplanade was built in stages fulfilling the vision of landscape architect Charles Eliot. Today, the once malodorous mudflats are now bustling with walkers, joggers, skaters, and bikers. Walking among beautifully landscaped paths lined with over 1,900 trees, we’ll examine the evolution of this urban park and Arthur Schurcliff’s landscape designs. Join us this Mother’s Day for a lovely walk through the jewel of the Charles River, visited by millions every year.

Cambridge was the focus of both military and political activity at the dawn of the American Revolution. Redcoats marched through the town on their way to Lexington and Concord; two months later, generals met in Harvard Square to plan for the Battle of Bunker Hill. Here George Washington formed the Continental Army, won his first victory, and dealt with his first traitor. This tour will view surviving sites of the Revolutionary War in Harvard Square, Harvard Yard, and Brattle Street, and will discuss events that occurred elsewhere in Cambridge between 1774 and 1778.

THEATRE OF THE “ABSURD”

LITERATURE

Gerry M Weisenberg M.A. Harvard University

Join us in reading short story masterpieces by both well-known and lesser known American and international writers. The stories that we will analyze and discuss include landmark works by Ernest Hemingway, Dorothy Parker, E.M. Forster, O. Henry, Alexander Pushkin, Guy de Maupassant, and other important writers who demonstrate skill in characterizing the human spirit. We will analyze themes, characters, settings, symbolism, and style, as well as look at contemporary interpretations.

Absurdism in European fiction, drama, and poetry developed from the severe existential crisis of faith following World War II. Many European playwrights of the ’50s and ’60s reacted to the apocalyptic reality by recreating a world that has lost meaning, purpose, and rational social communication. They produced bodies of work which seemed illogical in speech and action. Their works had depths of meaning in structures which could end only in silence.

Through close reading and vigorous discussion of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot; Jean Genet’s The Blacks; Eugene Ionesco Rhinoceros; and Harold Pinter’s The Birthday Party, we will explore their revolutionary inventiveness. Books will be made available at the New England Mobile Bookfair at a discount.

Michael Koran Author of Verse to Better; M.A. University of Chicago

Monica Raymond Playwright

We’ll read aloud from some of the greatest poems ever written

by Whitman, Dickinson, Shakespeare, Frost, Stevens, Rilke, and Bishop. We’ll explore how words, sounds, pauses, rhymes, forms, humor and meaning contribute to a poem’s beauty and truth.

Great poets through their poems marry us forever by planting their poems in us. We’ll discover how their poems can continually grow more beautiful and meaningful. Join us on this poetic journey that will move us to sense, create, understand and live poetic moments that help make poetic lives.

Oliver Sacks, who died in the summer of 2015, left a wide-ranging series of brilliantly written non-fiction: memoir, case histories, meditations on deafness and the musical brain. His work inspired movies, theater pieces, even operas. We’ll read and discuss excerpts from Awakenings, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, An Archaeologist on Mars, and others, including his last book, the revealing autobiography On the Move, and look at some of the creative work he inspired.

By examining our unique reactions to the characters in stories and novels, we achieve increased self-understanding.

We’ll use contemporary works by Andre Dubus, Alice Munro, Ellen Gilchrist, and others as points of departure for our discussions as we ask ourselves: What are our feelings and attitudes about the story characters, and what do these emotional responses reveal about ourselves?

ANTON CHEKHOV: COMEDIES OF FRUSTRATION Katia Kapovich Writer, Editor, and Professor of Slavic Studies In his brief life, Anton Chekhov invented the modern short story, reformed drama, and in doing so brought the realist description of society to a new level. One of the most influential writers of the 20th century, he was also a doctor and an explorer to the Russian North, and his democratic views left their mark on Russian history. In this course we will explore Chekhov’s visions and poetics, which radically changed the representation of a man and gave his goals, possibilities and frustrations the status of universal problems.

WRITING SHORT FICTION WORKSHOP Joe Ransom M.F.A. in Writing, University of San Francisco This course is designed to get students reading and thinking as writers of short fiction and generating work of their own. Throughout the semester, we will read a variety of published stories and consider the craft elements that the selected readings best exhibit.

In the introductory weeks of the course students will complete creative exercises inspired by the stories and principles discussed.

Class time will be divided between discussion of published stories and craft principles, sharing of creative exercises, and in-class writing. The final weeks of the course will be dedicated to workshopping longer original work.

FLEXING THE WRITING MUSCLE Daniel Gewertz Freelance Writer Whether you’re suffering from writer’s block or just wondering where your next page leads, this is a class that endeavors to loosen up your prose, inspire new ideas, stretch your skill set, and have some fun doing it Even more than with the other creative arts, writing can become a frustration: the once enjoyable instinct for expression calcifying into burden. Even wildly successful writers whine about the millstone of putting words on a page. But nearly every writer started off experiencing the joy of expression, and this class means to recapture a bit of that pleasure. With at least one in-class exercise per week, and a few brief assignments, this class aims at blowing away creative inhibitions. Such elements as characterization, clarity, rhythm, dialogue, description, pace, and plotting will be considered.

WRITING THE LINKED SHORT STORY

CRAFTING THE NOVELLA

Emily Neeves M.F.A., Creating Writing, Emerson College

Erica Kaufman B.F.A., Emerson College; M.F.A., Lesley University

A writer of linked short stories experiences the freedom of non-linear storytelling with the advantage of puzzling together a more significant end. But how does a writer make each story stand apart, while simultaneously crafting a big picture? This is an advanced writing workshop that is intended for writers who already have an ongoing writing project for which they would like help with revision, development, and expansion. Because we will begin workshopping student work by the second class, students should only register if they have at least one short story that is either already ready for workshop or nearing the completion of its first draft. If time permits, we will discuss readings and engage in writing prompts.

By the course’s end, all students will have feedback for revision on two complete, linked short stories.

Learn what distinguishes a novella from a short story or a novel—beyond simple word count. We will discuss the history of the novella, and modern examples. Students will learn how to develop ideas, characters, and settings within a novella’s parameter. We will discuss how novellas can be used to further an existing author’s brand, and we will examine the market for the novella, from literary journals to small presses. Open to those with some experience writing short fiction. We will workshop pieces in class as we work toward writing our novellas.

WRITING FROM YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE Mopsy Strange Kennedy Book Reviewer, The Improper Bostonian In this class we concentrate on two related genres using the first person. Nonfiction articles such as the “Lives” and “Modern Love” columns in The New York Times and “Connections” in the Globe Sunday Magazine make use of the writer’s own self, though the topic may be an external one. Books such as Intoxicated by My Illness by Anatole Broyard use fiction techniques to tell a story that is nevertheless the writer’s own. We’ll emphasize scenes, dialogue, and the use of pungent, telling detail so that the story is cinematically vivid and the writer is interestingly revealed. Given the intimate nature of the writing, the class spirit is one of safety and respect.

Students will bring their own work to the table for discussion, with the aim of producing a polished short piece by the end of the term.

We will also look at published short pieces by Joan Didion, Jamaica Kincaid, Primo Levy and others.

Even if one is committed to writing freely, experimenting with traditional forms can extend one’s sense of what’s possible in poetry.

CONTEMPORARY ISSUES WHITE PEOPLE CHALLENGING RACISM: MOVING FROM TALK TO ACTION Barbara Beckwith Facilitator and Writer’s Life Series Advisor People of all heritages/identities are welcome to join us as we focus on the role of white people in dismantling racism and building a just society. We’ll examine the impact of white privilege and how unawareness of that advantage helps perpetuate racism.

We’ll discuss short readings and share everyday situations in which we did not speak up effectively against racial bias. Using role-playing, we’ll work out effective ways to respond. Participants will develop specific plans for challenging racism, in your workplace, organizations, community, and personal circles. You will be encouraged to find other people in your life who can provide support and serve as allies in your efforts.

RACISM AND LIBERALISM Rafael Pereira M.A. in Sociology, SUNY Binghamton This class explores a rarely acknowledged problematic; although Western liberalism is well-known, theoretically, for its postulates of liberty, in reality it was born in the 18th century, conjoined with the most brutal, exploitative policies and practices, namely modern slavery, colonialism, genocide and racism. Here we will read and discuss the brilliant book of Italian philosopher-historian Domenico Losurdo, Liberalism: A Counter-history, in order to examine the significance of its development in the history of England, France and the United States.

WOMEN IN THE ISLAMIC MIDDLE EAST

AMERICAN COMMUNES OF THE 19TH CENTURY

Maryam Kamali Ph.D. in History, Tehran University

Brian Bixby Ph.D. in History, UMass Amherst

This course offers an introduction to the status and roles of Muslim women of the Middle East, including the Arab World, North Africa, Turkey, and Iran from the pre-Islamic era to modern times. Using an interdisciplinary approach, we will examine concepts of women’s identity, as presented throughout history, in religion, literature and art. By focusing on women’s activist movements, we will explore the social changes developed by women, including Muslims and non-Muslims claiming their rights in the family, society and politics.

COURSE CODE: WMME

Long before there were hippies, Americans had experimented with communes. Whether as Christians or utopian socialists or yet something else again, they pursued a vision of social change by gathering together and sharing their property, their labor, their love, and their futures. Those visions could be as varied as free love or celibacy, returning to the soil or revolutionizing manufacturing. The course will provide an overview of their development, and examine in detail some of the more interesting movements, such as the Shakers, the Oneida Perfectionists, and the two phases of Brook Farm in Massachusetts.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF TERRORISM IN THE 21ST CENTURY Herbert Patchell M.A., Boston University Much of Africa, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East, and South Asia are restructuring themselves after the collapse of several long-term empires. The cultures they created, the religions they imposed, the borders they drew, have disintegrated, leaving people adrift in no-man’s lands. Further instability was created by the Cold War. The withdrawal of Western influence throughout the entire region has led to a rapid reconfiguration of the Muslim world. Iran and Saudi Arabia, have pitted Shia and Sunni Islam against each other. Revolutionary movements such as Wahhabism, ISIS, the Taliban, Jihadists, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and Boko Haram abound. Hundreds of thousands of Muslims displaced from nations in Africa and the Middle East have sent refugees flooding into Europe. Urbanization, water crises, rapidly changing religious values, unemployment and social disintegration stalk millions. Investigate this threat to global stability. Extensive handout material.

HISTORY AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP: AN IDEA AND ITS HISTORY Brian Bixby Ph.D. in History, UMass Amherst What does it mean to be an American? How have our views of this concept changed since the founding of the United States? Is it enough to have been born here, or does one have to embrace certain values to be a “true American?” This course looks at how Americans have viewed themselves since the Revolutionary Era. We examine how a group of colonies could unite behind a common identity, how that identity was transformed by the Civil War and its aftermath, and how Americans have reimagined themselves in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Crisis points: Saudi Arabia’s spread of Wahhabism, growing tensions between Shia and Sunni Muslims, Islam as an alternative to all other options; the growth of Jewish fundamentalism and its impact upon Israel and the Diaspora; the rebirth of Russian Orthodox Christianity; South Asia and the struggle between one billion Hindus, half a million Muslims and three hundred million Buddhists; secularism versus traditional Christianity in Western Europe and the United States; the challenge of two imperial monotheisms-Christianity and Islam-to peacefully coexist. Extensive handout material.

Anatole Sykley Historian and Member of the WWI Historical Society The Civil War continues to fascinate historians and the public alike. This course will follow the main military and political events in chronological fashion and will track how the war was fought and coordinated on several different geographic fronts in the east, south, west and on the sea. The course will depict the various strategies of the opposing Union and Confederate Armies as attempts to find weaknesses in each other, even though the two capitals, Washington DC and Richmond VA, were only 100 miles apart. The course will also synthesize several current historical issues and problems that historians still struggle with, and discuss how the Civil War affected international politics of the time.

PRINTMAKING AT THE CAMBRIDGE CENTER For students interested in printmaking, CCAE offers 8-10 week long classes along with 1- and 2-day workshops. You can learn the basics of woodblock, etching, silk screening; or you can explore more complex approaches like encaustic collographs, solar etching and experimental techniques. All of our teachers are practicing artists with a deep knowledge of this very special art form.

Classes take place in an air conditioned studio with three presses, solarplate exposure box, aquatint screens, drying racks for prints, flat files for storing prints, non-toxic inks and drypoint and woodcut tools and much more.

ADVANCED PRINTMAKING

GELATIN PRINT MONOTYPE WORKSHOP

Selma Bromberg M.F.A, Artist, sbrombergartist.com

Janet Campbell Artist

This course is designed for students who have studied the basic techniques of nontoxic printmaking. Join us for an introduction to solar plate printmaking, a nontoxic etching technique. We will experiment with the new water soluble oil-based inks: Charbonnel Aqua wash, and Akua Intaglio. These inks can be used for monotypes, collagraphs, dry point, solar plates, and woodcuts. The instructor will work closely to further develop your imagery, and there will be demonstrations from guest artists.

Printmaking from a Gelatin plate is one of the easiest and most personal forms of printmaking—because it doesn’t require a press!

Working with Geli plates (developed so you can skip the process of making the gelatin plate yourself) we will work with water-based printing inks or acrylic paints, with found textures and substances, as well as brushes of different kinds. No previous printmaking experience necessary. The first session will introduce gelatin plate newcomers to some basic techniques, while in the second part we’ll build on what we learned in part 1. Please note that this class was previously two separate sections and it has been combined into one section.

NEW FILMS WORTH DISCUSSING

SPRING LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHIC WORKSHOP: CAPE ANN

Daniel Gewertz Freelance Writer

Skip Schiel Independent Photographer, teeksaphoto.org

With big-budget sequels and CGI-enhanced blockbusters jamming the multiplexes, it can be hard to find films worthy of an hour of lively analysis. Yet this discussion group, led by a former movie-critic, has met that goal for years. We tend to choose indy, foreign, and smaller-budget studio offerings, where character development and directorial attitude is more evident than stuff that blows up. (In the films chosen in recent years, only Birdman’s Michael Keaton wore a cape.) Mid-spring tends to be a good time for the release of discussion-worthy, multilayered films (i.e., after the late-winter cinematic drought and before the action-happy summer.) Each week, the class votes on the week’s movie choice, and after seeing it on our own, we gather for analysis and pleasurable debate. Opinions diverge wildly, yet there hasn’t been a fist-fight yet.

C O U R S E C O D E : M OV I

To better understand how to work photographically with spring light, we’ll visually explore Cape Ann, including Gloucester, Rockport, and Annisquam. We’ll learn to see and feel widely, interpret and portray earth-oriented experiences, and reveal truths about this terrain and ourselves. We will accomplish this through a combination of examples, exercises, coaching, and writing. Be prepared to walk in possibly inclement weather, which is often better for photography. Basic experience with a digital or film camera (preferably one with manual override of controls) is required. For the first session, bring your camera (thoroughly tested, batteries charged) and up to five photo PRINTS showing your interests, level, and experience. The Center will arrange car-pooling. Please reserve the Sundays following the Saturdays for rain dates.

PAINTING THE LANDSCAPE

WATERCOLOR PAINTING FROM THE FIGURE

Anthony Riccardi Artist

Sheila Rice Artist, Radcliffe College, Boston Museum School

Every landscape includes many complex shapes and textures. In this course, learn to develop your perceptions of five different zones inside the landscape space: through, between, within, below, and above. Traveling through these zones, you will learn the fundamentals of landscape painting techniques. We’ll also discuss various artists and their works to explore the many ways the landscape may be interpreted. Acrylic and watercolor paint media will be used; no oils, please. Class meets indoors.

Nothing can replace using the human figure as a catalyst for developing your artistic skills; it is the most complicated and familiar form we have. Watercolor is particularly well-suited to painting the figure because of its fluidity to capture gesture and expression. We will work on a different project each week, studying different techniques so that you can develop your own personal watercolor style.

MUSIC THE MUSIC OF JOHANNES BRAHMS Jared Hettrick Composer and Vocalist, logresfellspress.com In the midst of the Romantic Era, the music of Brahms stands out for its Classicism, evocative nature, and meticulous use of motifs.

We will look at the broad range of his musical output from lieder, orchestra, choir, and chamber ensembles. We will examine what makes the music of Brahms “tick”, and how he takes small motifs and spins them into grand, emotional works.

LECTURE-RECITAL: PIANO MUSIC FROM SPAIN AND LATIN AMERICA Raymond Chow M.M., University of North Texas In this lecture-recital, pianist Raymond Chow will present a program of solo piano music by Spanish and Latin American composers. A rarely performed repertoire, the unique mixture of folk and Western art musical elements in this oeuvre produces a harmonic language that is expressively colorful, and sometimes unpredictable. This music also borrows heavily from traditional and popular dances of the respective regions, inspiring composers to explore innovative rhythmic possibilities.

The performance includes musical selections by Mompou, de Falla, Villa-Lobos and Piazzolla. We would discuss aspects of each selection that contributes to the unique sound of this particular repertoire.

IMPRESSIONISM

BEGINNING VOICE

Paul Sayed M.M. Longy School of Music of Bard College, paulsayed.com

Juana Monsalve Mejia Voice Instructor

Between the Franco-Prussian War and World War I, Paris experienced changes in art and culture. Out of this period of change came a highly influential style of music called impressionism. Initially dismissed as not music or incomplete music, today impressionistic music can be found everywhere from TV commercials to blockbuster film soundtracks, and in performances in every major concert hall.

We will learn what impression in music means and how it developed by exploring the works of composers such as Debussy, Ravel, and Satie.

If you can carry a tune, but aren’t sure just where you are going with it, this is your class. Come learn better breath control, build vocal power, produce a pleasing tone, stretch your range, and sing without tension. We’ll be working with folk songs to illustrate basic principles of singing. Advanced Beginner is for those who have taken this class before or who have had some voice lessons in the past.

Please check with the instructor if you are unsure of your level.

MONTEVERDI: BRILLIANT BRIDGE TO BAROQUE MUSIC Laura Zoll Medieval Musicologist Claudio Monteverdi was a composer, singer, gambist, and conductor. His madrigals can be seen as a high point of Renaissance polyphony and his later work achieves Baroque virtuosity. He is credited with composing one of the very first operas. His “Vespers of 1610” is a crowning achievement. Monteverdi’s range extends from intimate songs to large scale devotional works and fully realized dramatic and humorous operas. In this class we will immerse ourselves in Monteverdi’s glorious music.

This course is tailored for people wanting to cope more effectively with short- and long-term stress. It allows for a more vibrant yet peaceful outlook on life, increased energy, and an overall improvement in both physical and mental wellbeing. Our main practice will be the cultivation of mindfulness, a moment-to-moment awareness of things that we do not usually pay much attention to, such as bodily sensations, breath, and the arising and passing of thoughts and feelings. Our mindfulness practice will expand to all aspects of our experience, allowing us to inquire into the implication of meditation in our daily lives. As we look with wisdom and kindness at our stress, pain, anxiety, grief, and anger, they transform. Come prepared for a simple yet challenging practice that will bring you freedom from suffering.

The course is scheduled for two evenings: one on theory and the other on practice. In our “theory” sessions we will talk about “mindful biking”. There are also two “practice” sessions where we will experience a heightened awareness of our surroundings, kindness towards ourselves & others, and the childlike joy of “riding bikes”. You must have a well maintained bicycle and be able to bike 10 miles at a 10 mph pace.
