LEARN FRENCH THROUGH THEATER

GERMAN LITERATURE

Learning a language can be a playful experience. Come to this workshop and try for yourself. No previous experience of theater is necessary.

INTENSIVE CLASSES

WRITING FOR BEGINNERS

Put more time in, and see how your English skills will grow and blossom.

These classes meet twice as often as our regular classes, and the results are clear: consistent, focused work makes a difference.

This is a course developed especially for Beginner Level ESL students who want to start learning the secrets of good English writing. All writing is a process, and we learn this process one step at a time, starting with the structure of sentences and paragraphs. We easily learn the basic principles of English grammar, gain new vocabulary, and write a new paragraph every week. And every week, we read our original paragraphs to our classmates, to get a feeling for how our writing sounds to others.

A DICKENS SEMINAR: THE OLD CURIOSITY SHOP Susan Glassman Ph.D., English, University of Rhode Island Contrasting youth and age, beauty and deformity, and innocence and cynicism, The Old Curiosity Shop is a compelling tale of humor and menace. In a bizarre, often comic kaleidoscope of events and characters, the story reaches its tragic climax, an ending that devastated its earliest readers. It was so popular that New York readers stormed the wharf when the ship bearing the final installment arrived in 1841. Follow Little Nell and her grandfather on an adventurous journey as they encounter an array of humanity’s worst and best.

THEATRE OF THE “ABSURD” Gerry M Weisenberg M.A. Harvard University 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.

WAR AND PEACE: READING AND THINKING WITH LEO TOLSTOY Katia Kapovich Writer, Editor, and Professor of Slavic Studies We will read Tolstoy’s War and Peace with an eye on narratological innovations and the new social, philosophical and religious ideas that this great Russian author introduced in his central novel. We also will reflect on his statement “Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking.”

Thomas B Meek Writer Learn the basic principles of fiction, focusing mostly on the art form of the short story. We will loosely follow a workshop format with inclass writing assignments and take-home prompts intended to help trigger the creative process. Additional reading assignments of the masters—Hemingway, O’Connor, and Salinger to name a few—and more contemporary literature will be used to illustrate craft, style, and technical elements. For those interested, we will motivate each other to generate and compile material that can be submitted for publication.

Be prepared to share your work with others and provide constructive feedback as well. Beginners are welcome in this participatory creative environment.

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.

GETTING PERSONAL: A MEMOIR AND ESSAY WORKSHOP

THE PERSONAL ESSAY WORKSHOP: STORIES, IDEAS, AND REFLECTIONS

Daniel Gewertz Freelance Writer The writing of memoir stories often begins with a humble question: What about my life is worthy of a reader’s time and attention? But given enough precision, passion, and story-telling savvy, nearly any memory that fascinates a writer can be made to intrigue the reader. We will concentrate on ways we can frame our memories, tighten focus, and clarify feelings and opinions. Assignments and prompts will kick-start your writing, and stories will be read aloud in class.

Alejandro Ramirez Freelance Writer and Essayist Baldwin, Didion, Orwell, and many others all made the personal essay a flexible and influential mode of thinking. The personal essay is neither formal argument nor memoir. In the essay, story-telling elements meet arguments, ideas, and reflections. In this class, we’ll follow Philip Lopate’s school of thought—as detailed in The Art of the Personal Essay—to approach one of the most variable yet powerful forms of writing.

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.

HISTORY OF EARLY SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Anatole Sykley Historian and Member of the WWI Historical Society Before the study of nature and the universe had even acquired the name “science,” the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Medieval philosophers attempted to form models of the cosmos and the human body, as well as systematic concepts concerning earth, air, fire and water as fundamental elements. We will trace these ideas as they evolved and were re-worked by a succession of philosopher-inquirers, from Plato and Aristotle to Medieval thinkers such as Oresme and Thierry of Chartres. We will also review and compare Western ideas of science with contributions of scientific inquiry from ancient Islam, India, and China.

CHEMISTRY AND THE WORLD AROUND US

VIKINGS!

Phong Lee Scientist, Ph.D. candidate, Harvard Medical School The world around us is filled with chemistry. Sometimes the application of chemistry is evident, but oftentimes its secrets hide in plain sight. Everything that we hear, see, smell, taste, or touch involves chemistry and chemicals. In this course, we will begin an adventure to understand the mysteries of chemistry in the world around us. For instance, the element sodium is a silvery metal and the element chlorine is a gas that causes chocking. However, when sodium and chlorine are mixed together, table salt (NaCl) is created. Throughout the course, we will learn how atoms can be split (nuclear chemistry), how to design an artificial leaf (green chemistry), how to make drugs (organic chemistry), and how it is possible for an atom to be at multiple places simultaneously (quantum chemistry). As we learn about each aspect of chemistry, we will reinforce the concepts using examples from the world around us. Absolutely no background in chemistry is required.

Brian Bixby Ph.D. in History, UMass Amherst They’ve gone down in history as bad boys: vicious raiders with names such as Eric Blood-Axe and Thorfinn Skull-Splitter. They were the Terrors of the North—yet there was much more to the Vikings than that stereotype, including early feminists and lawyers. This course will cover the origin of the Vikings, their raiding, how they settled in some lands, and what eventually became of them.

AFRICAN AMERICANS AND THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION Rafael Pereira M.A. in Sociology, SUNY Binghamton The 1776 Declaration of Independence states that “all men are created equal,” yet the author of that lofty phrase, Thomas Jefferson, was himself a slave owner. Given that slavery and freedom are antithetical, how can one explain the contradiction between the stated creed and actual reality? Was this contradiction the reason why most blacks who fought during the Revolutionary War were on the side of the British? What did the founding fathers really think about slavery? Were any of them anti-slavery? How, in turn, did African Americans help shape the “contagion of liberty”? Did the slave insurrections of the early 19th century highlight the failure of the Revolution? Ultimately, in trying to answer these questions, we will explore themes at the core of American nationality and life.

INTRODUCTION TO TERRORISM

A HISTORY OF AUSTRALASIA (AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND & PAPUA NEW GUINEA)

Herbert Patchell M.A., Boston University Terrorism is an aggressive response to paradoxes in human reality. It pits weak against strong, advantaged coexisting with disadvantaged, competing generations, male against female, religion against religion, nation against nation and cultures in conflicts.

We live in a new age of terrorism reflecting the impact of seven billion people crowded onto the planet and often misusing our stewardship of our earth. This series identifies the major forms terrorism takes, the risks resulting from the sophistication and availability of weapons and what led to such groups as ISIS, Qaeda, and Boko Haram as well as domestic terrorism. Extensive handout material provided.

SUMI-E JAPANESE BRUSHPAINTING

ENCAUSTIC ART

Jan. Zaremba Sensei, Jan.zaremba.com Oriental brush, ink, and rice paper are perfect for spontaneous expression. By using understatement, suggestion, and concentration on the essentials, we learn how to express the spirit of nature rather than transcribe its precise appearance. Our subject is the natural world: flowers and birds, trees and mountains. This is an opportunity to acquire skills that have inspired amateurs and artists from the T’ang Dynasty to the avant-garde. All levels are welcome.

Elise Mankes Artist, MFA in Artisanry Encaustic is the ancient art of painting with molten beeswax mixed with colored pigments and resin. Producing results like no other medium, the work is mysterious, deep, and translucent, with a glow that seems to emanate from within. In this class, for artists of all levels, you will be introduced to the traditional methods of encaustic painting, as well as experiment with stenciling, collage, transfers, and encaustic on paper and cloth. You’ll learn tried-and-true encaustic techniques and experiment with your own ideas. A $35 materials fee is payable to the instructor at the first class. Students will be encouraged to bring their own ideas and supplies as the class progresses.

NEW FILMS WORTH DISCUSSING Daniel Gewertz Freelance Writer 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 films, 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.) Awards season is often the best time for thought-worthy cinema, but we won’t be tied to just the Oscar-hopefuls. 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.

Bob Glover Emmy Winning Producer, Executive Coach Does your business, nonprofit, or club need a video? Are you the family documentarian? Are you a budding citizen journalist?

This creates the opportunity to add more intensity or lower the intensity level based on each individual’s fitness abilities. Zumba Gold can help improve strength, cardiovascular health, balance, coordination and flexibility. However, each class is not just a chance to workout your body, but an opportunity to free your mind, make new friends and just let yourself have a good time.

You’ll experience the joys of set-ups, punchlines, puns, parodies, and of course... timing. Our goal is to come up with five minutes of material to be performed at the end of the semester.

FREEDOM FROM BACK PAIN - USING THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE

YOGA FOR A BETTER BACK

Kitty Breen Founder/Director, Alexander Back and Chronic Pain Daily stresses, postures and habits lead many of us to unconsciously misalign the entire working mechanics of the body. Eighty percent of back pain is caused by this poor body use. If you experience back pain, come learn to use your back as intended and have it support you in future activities with ease and comfort. We’ll relearn how to sit, bend, lift, type, drive, sneeze, sleep, read and other activities. We’ll identify our unique postural sets, learn how to engage gravity correctly so as to reduce stress, and observe how even the way we breathe can cause or eliminate pain. Finally, we’ll rediscover the pinky finger as one of the back’s best friends! Please note: Students must bring their own yoga mats. CCAE no longer provides them.

Eric B. Bornstein M.L.A., Harvard University and Artist A sensible yoga practice will create a body that is strong, flexible, and in balance. Our spine and the muscles around it must be kept healthy for us to sustain a thriving and mobile physical lifestyle. This posture sequencing guides you through poses (asanas) in a mindful flow designed to source all our movement from our deep strength, to discover the beauty in our movement. We will practice strategies to lengthen stubborn hamstrings and hips, eliminate pain & compression in your lower back and neck, and create opening and flexibility in your upper back and shoulders. Careful attention is shown to our awareness of proper posture and breathing (pranayama) while in transitions and in stillness.

REDUCING STRESS THROUGH MINDFULNESS Cristie Siegele Healing Artist 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. Limited to 15.

Based on the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program, created by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn at the UMASS Medical School,

Registration fees A $6 registration fee is charged for any course whose tuition exceeds $25.

Only one registration fee is charged per person per term. The registration fee is not refundable if you withdraw from a class.

The fee is refunded if the Center cancels your class or if changes to the class schedule prevent you from attending.

This does not apply to individual classes rescheduled due to inclement weather or other significant factors beyond the Center’s control.

Withdrawing from a course If you withdraw 1 week or more before the start date of a course, we will issue you a course credit (good for 3 years from the date of issue). If you prefer, we will refund the course tuition minus a $10 processing fee. Withdrawals from courses and events under $25 are only eligible for a course credit. No cash refunds are given.

If you withdraw 6 days or less from the start date of a class or event, we do not issue course credits or refunds.

Transferring to another course Transfers to another course are allowed for 1 and 2 session classes if you contact us at least 1 business day before the start of the class. If there is a difference in price, we will issue a course credit or you will owe any balance. Refunds are not given. Transfers to another course are allowed for 3+ session courses if you contact us before the 2nd meeting of the class.

If there is a difference in price, we will issue a course credit or you will owe any difference. Refunds are not given.

Cancellation or schedule change The Center reserves the right to cancel classes due to low enrollment or other considerations. If we cancel your class, you will receive a course credit good for 3 years from date of issue or, upon your request, a refund. Please call our registration office to request a refund.

If the Center cancels your course or changes the class schedule before the class begins such that you are unable to attend, you may receive a refund or a course credit.

This does not apply to individual classes rescheduled due to inclement weather, other significant factors beyond the Center’s control, or individual classes rescheduled by the instructor.
