The extrovert Punjabis have taken themselves and their food from this agriculturally rich part of India to all parts of the world, and thus this cuisine is most well known outside India. We will cook a chicken dish, a few vegetable sides, accompaniments, different breads, and end with a dessert, all while discussing the ancestry and origins of cuisine from all parts of India. By the time you sit down to dinner, all your senses will be aroused to the fullest, though you and your clothes may smell of fried onions!

THE TRUTH ABOUT BDSM: IT’S NOT WHAT YOU THINK

HOW TO MAKE AN ESTATE PLAN

Anita Hoffer PhD, Ed.D.

We all know that everyone should have a will. And yet most of us put this off, even as we know it is not helpful to our families and loved ones. Procrastinate no longer! This two hour class will motivate you to organize your assets and create an estate plan. You will receive a plain English introduction to the common terms and options including wills, executors, guardians, life insurance, retirement accounts, beneficiary bank accounts, and children’s trusts. You will learn the role of an executor and consider how to choose one. You will also get tips for estate planning outside of estate documents.

BDSM (bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism) has come out of the shadows ever since the publication of Fifty Shades of Grey but many misconceptions still prevail. Kink (another synonym for this type of sexual activity and the community that engages in it) is probably the most misunderstood form of sexuality today, similar to what homosexuality was 50-60 years ago. Join us in examining the realities about BDSM and erotica, explore the psychology behind these unconventional behaviors, and discuss why feminism and BDSM are not necessarily mutually exclusive interests.

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. In this interactive class, we examine what really is female orgasm, the different kinds of orgasm and how orgasm changes throughout the life cycle. 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.

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.

Gerry Weisenberg M.A., Harvard University

John Updike populated his fiction with characters that frequently experience personal turmoil and must respond to crises relating to religion, family obligations, and marital infidelity. He describes his subject as the American small town, Protestant middle class; his work makes the familiar new. Join us in reading, understanding, and appreciating Updike’s stories through informal lecture and discussion. We will analyze themes, characters, setting, symbolism, and style in his short stories. This course is designed for people who want to become familiar with Updike’s short stories or want to revisit them.

Paris, the legendary “City of Light,” has enchanted Americans from Ambassador Benjamin Franklin through Woody Allen. Paris in the 1920s became the cultural hub of Western creativity. Through close reading and vigorous discussion of Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast; F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Tender is the Night; E.E.

MIKHAIL BULGAKOV’S THE MASTER AND MARGARITA Katia Kapovich Writer, Editor, and Professor of Slavic Studies

TO END WAR: TWO ONE-PERSON, ANTI-WAR PLAYS Michael Koran Author of Verse to Better; M.A., University of Chicago

This novel is widely considered to be one of the masterpieces of 20th century literature. Finished in 1940, it was not published until 1966, but then immediately became an encyclopedia of Soviet life. Decades have passed, but its relevance persists. Reading from the Katherine O’Connor translation, will talk about the novel’s political background and philosophical brilliance. We’ll also read Bulgakov’s short novel, “A Heart of a Dog,” to get a sense of the scope of this great writer’s work.

We will act out and discuss two extraordinary one-person anti-war plays: “An Iliad” adapted from Homer by Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare and “Johan Padan and the Discovery of the Americas” by the Nobel Prize winning playwright, clown Dario Fo. We’ll be mesmerized by dramatic, humorous, and truthful retelling of our history.

IMMIGRANT NARRATIVES: LOVE AND THE AMERICAN DREAM

TOLSTOY’S ANNA KARENINA

Melissa Lozada-Oliva B.A. in English Literature, Simmons College

The author himself believed Anna Karenina to be even a stronger book. This course will combine close reading of Anna Karenina with the examination of the tumultuous life of Leo Tolstoy—the writer and the prophet. Required text: Anna Karenina in the recent and the best English translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky (Penguin Classics).

The American Dream is idealistic and complex as modernday conceptions of love. In “Otra Vida, Otra Vez,” a story by Junot Diaz, an Dominican immigrant working in a factory has an affair with a married man. In Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, a Nigerian immigrant has a series of romances as she assimilates into the United States. The Namesake, by Jhumpa Lahiri, tells the love story of two Indian immigrants in an arranged marriage. This class will explore the ways in which immigrant characters tackle their romantic ideals of assimilation while falling in and out of love at the same time. We’ll examine the immigrant narrative and how love relates to the character’s development as lover, parent, and ultimately, citizen.

LOVE AND CHAOS IN ARDEN: SHAKESPEARE’S GREEN WORLDS Daniel Zeliger Teacher and Theater Director As You Like It, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and King Lear are examples of Shakespeare’s “green world” plays. In these plays, characters flee the orderly and repressive court to find themselves in a realm of chaos and possibility. Kings, fools, and lovers who wander through these pastoral spaces experience revelation, terror, paradox, magical transformation, and romantic turmoil.

We will examine of the significance of the “green world” in these three plays while consulting outside texts by writers including Northrop Frye and David P. Young.

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 FROM YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE Mopsy Strange Kennedy Book Reviewer for The Improper Bostonian & Therapist Join us to concentrate on two 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.

It is extremely seductive to move in too close to these intensely painful experiences, but intimacy with them can detract seriously from the poem’s impact. While writing “from the heart” may be cathartic, it rarely conveys the real “stuff” of sorrow, fear, and anger. By stepping back, observing, and writing from the head, we will produce powerful, memorable poems on difficult subjects, enhancing their impact through simplicity. Students should come to class with one poem of their own for discussion and critique. This class is recommended for intermediate to advanced writers.

Yet there are more books and articles on this subject than ever, and some aspects of the war’s history are still being grasped by historians, or can cause controversy even today. Historians still debate the causes of the war, and discuss whether critical battles such as those at Verdun and on the Somme, were well planned or simply massive military mistakes. This course will focus on the battles and campaigns of the years 1914 through 1918, but will also pause to take multi-dimensional view of these events from different perspectives.

We will focus on color mixing, using warm and cool colors to create volume, separating objects by showing differences in value, and issues of composition. We will use oil pastels, pastels, or colored pencils― concentrating on the strengths that color itself gives to our drawing. Some drawing experience is useful but not necessary.

Participants experience eight hours of intensive drawing. The instructors deliberately guide you through drawing fundamentals and hardcore observation. Beginning with rudimentary exercises of “seeing” and “recording,” you will move through carefully prescribed steps to the point where you can produce sound and satisfying drawings with newly acquired skills. We will work with live models most of the time. Please note: this class is not designed as a drawing marathon that encourages freer, experimental explorations of the medium.

Journals can be many things - a record of your week, of your vacation, of your inspirations or idea generators. This class will introduce students to the practice of keeping a collage journal.

We will begin by making our own journals and discuss the elements of collage. Get inspired and start generating ideas through your own work.

SAVE OR DELETE: THOUGHTFUL EDITING OF YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS Weeding through an excessive amount of digital photoNEW graphs can be frustrating and time-consuming. Deciding what to save and what to delete takes thought, intuition, and a sense of whether the images represent your original experience. A series of photographs can also be molded into a linear or poetic narrative--your story. We will start with a series of photographs you have taken and slowly go through the process of honing your story, refining your narrative, clarifying your vision. There will be assignments, discussion, and feedback. You will have the option of posting your photos on-line, creating a slide show or creating a book. Class time will be divided into work time and show time. Please bring your Laptop to class. You must be familiar with basic editing software on your laptop.

CARVING AFRICAN PASSPORT MASKS

BUILDING YOUR OWN WOOD PLANE

Traditionally used by the Dan people in the western part of the Ivory Coast and Liberia, passport masks are worn on the body or sewn onto cloth to represent a particular tribe or family affiliation. We’ll start with a basswood block and use a small kit of carving tools and a mallet to carve an expressive passport mask fashioned on the styles of Lega, Bembe, or Fang tribes of Africa. We then paint our masks with milk paint to highlight the carving and features. You will leave with an expressive mask, an understanding of the role of passport masks in African tribal culture, and a variety of carving and design skills to incorporate in your work.

Join us for this special, weeklong workshop where we will each make our own small wood plane. The wood plane is among the most ancient hand tool used by human kind. It is used to shape, flatten and smooth wood. There is something very special about working wood with a plane you have made yourself. Once you have roughed out your plane blank, you will use the instructor’s wood planes to fashion a tool that suits you. Participants will learn to use wood planes while making their own wood plane. Choose a 1¼” or 1” iron for a nice little block plane, or something smaller for a finger plane. You will leave with a nifty little plane and an understanding of how to use it.
