LATIN EYE-WITNESS: HERCULANEUM, THE “POMPEII 013 of the RICH-AND-FAMOUS “ PHS NEW! Denise Asfar, Latin-lover, Westminster Choir College Latin instructor $130 Tues., 6:00–9:30 pm, Oct. 24, Nov. 14, 28, Dec. 12, 4 sessions “The mind shudders to remember ... but here is the tale:” Thus wrote Pliny the Younger, with his eye-witness account of the eruption that destroyed Pompeii and its wealthier neighbor, Herculaneum, whose lavish homes include the Villa of the Papyri. We’ll read first-hand accounts of Herculaneum before, during, and after the disaster, in the context of what recent research on human remains and carbonized papyrus scrolls there reveals about Rome’s powerful elite. The use of bilingual texts by Cicero, Pliny, et al. will introduce beginners to Latin, while improving reading skills of more advanced students. There’s an optional trip to the Metropoli- tan Museum of Art’s Roman galleries. (Text information on following page.)

We will look at illustration—whether it be book illustration, archaeological illustration, fashion illustration, illustration of ideas such as cartoons, and others. We will look at the history of illustration, look at great illustrators, and maybe try our hand at it, if anyone cares to do. We will also discuss the line where illustration becomes art, or vice versa. Was Erté an artist or illustrator? He defined both fashion and theater in the Art Deco age, and still exerts influence. Beatrix Potter? Artist and naturalist, and her White Rabbit. . . . We are back to C.S Lewis. Join the class, and if you like, bring a sketchbook.

MEDICI: MASTERS OF FLORENCE AND OF ROME— 015 an ILLUSTRATED HISTORY PHS Elena Livingstone-Ross, teacher of art history and European history $135 Thurs., 7:00–8:30 pm, Oct. 5, 9 sessions (No class Nov. 23) This title is partially taken from an excellent TV drama series about the Medici, a great banking family without which, arguably, Italian Renaissance would have taken a very different course. This family, through its ingenuity, acquired and maintained the power of wealth and intellect to unearth the treasures long-buried, to make the voices of those long dead begin to speak again, and to spread enthusiasm for classical culture and passion for beauty throughout the West. Between Cosimo di Giovanni de’ Medici, the first of the Medici’s political dynasty, who poured his vast wealth into learning, arts and architecture, thus injecting energy into Florentine Renaissance in the early 15th century, and Giulio di Giuliano de’ Medici (aka Pope Clement VII), a pleasure-seeking voluptuary who saw much of it devastated in 1527, during the Sack of Rome, and was partially responsible for it, a century passed (one of the greatest centuries mankind ever witnessed). As much attention will be given to history and historical personalities, as to art.

Three Modern Day Auteur Directors PHS NEW! 016 Ann Casano, Adjunct Professor of film studies $139 Thurs., 6:30–9:30 pm, Nov. 2, 6 sessions (No class Nov. 23) Beginning in the late 1940s, a group of French film theorists would get together and discuss the differences between auteur directors and non-auteur directors. They argued that a true auteur had a dis- tinct visual style and explored consistent themes, that a film’s director is its sole author. In essence, one could simply look at their films and instantly know who directed them. In today’s modern day cinema, the auteur theory is alive and well. In this class, we will deconstruct three modern day auteurs: The Coen Brothers, Martin Scorsese, and Alejandro González Iñárritu. We will examine their complete oeuvre and watch/analyze two of their signature films. If you have a passion for the cinema and love to talk about the movies, then this is the perfect class for you. NOTE: A complete listing of films can be found online in the class details section.

WORLD CINEMA PHS NEW! 017 Judith Zinis, Professor of film studies $129 Tues., 6:30–9:00 pm, Oct. 10, 6 sessions The phrase “the world is shrinking” is often used, yet many cultures remain foreign to us. Film is one way of familiarizing ourselves with the way life is lived in other regions of the world. This course will explore the developments in several national cinemas including Italian Neo-Realism, French New Wave, Indian Cinema, Hong Kong Cinema, and Middle Eastern Cinema with a focus

10 www.princetonadultschool.org on Iranian film. Films under consideration are:Rome Open City, Breathless, Aparajito, A Taste of Cherry, and Chungking Express. NOTE: For a full listing of movies to be shown, please visit the course details page on our website.

THEATRE IN 3-D (see note for location) (includes two scripts*) 018 Paula T. Alekson, Artistic Engagement Manager at $155 McCarter Theater Lectures: 7:30–9:00 pm, Wed., Sept. 13, 19 (Please note that the 19th is a Tuesday; the class date is shifted due to Rosh Hashanah), Oct. 4, 18, 25, Nov. 8, 29, 7 sessions Performances/Readings: Wed., Sept. 27, Simpatico; Thurs., Oct. 26, A Night With Janis Joplin; Sat., Nov. 18, The Princeton and Slavery Project Plays Meaning in all written work is shaped by both the author’s intention and what the reader brings to the text. Plays are unique in offering a third dimension of meaning: that created by the director, actors, and designers. This course will focus on the two plays offered this fall as a part of McCarter Theatre Series, as well as the readings of several new ten-minute plays commissioned for the Princ- eton and Slavery Project, a Princeton University and McCarter partnership. We will discuss each play and its meaning before each performance; see the play as a group, if you wish; and then explore what has been revealed by the production/reading. The plays to be included are: Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Sam Shepard’s Simpatico, a tragi- comedy set among a seedy segment of thoroughbred racing, centers on the tense and troubled relationship of a now wealthy breeder, Carter, and his derelict dependent long-time friend, Vinnie. This production of the play—an extraordinary dramatic vehicle for actors—unites McCarter and Chi- cago’s A Red Orchid Theatre, and will be directed by ensemble director Dado and feature ensemble members, including Tony and Oscar-nominated actor Michael Shannon. A Night with Janis Joplin by Randy Johnson provides the opportunity to study an alternative to the conventional book musical and watch its translation from script to stage. This “music driven theatre event”—part musical biography, part jukebox musical, part rock concert—focuses on the artistic development of the leg- endary “rock mama” Janis Joplin and features the great American Blues singers who inspired her career and influenced her idiosyncratic style. A public reading of thePrinceton and Slavery Project Plays, commissioned by McCarter in collaboration with Princeton University’s Princeton and Slav- ery Project, will feature new, short dramatic works by Nathan Alan Davis, Jackie Sibblies Drury, Dipika Guha, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Kwame Kwei-Armah, Emily Mann, and Regina Taylor. These playwrights consulted with undergraduate and doctoral history student scholars at Princeton and utilized historical material, letters, and artifacts from the University archives to inspire their artistic responses reflective of the historical past, as well as our contemporary culture in the present moment. Tickets and Texts: Student should purchase their own copies of Sam Shepard’s Simpatico published by Vintage Books (1995; ISBN-10: 0679763171; ISBN-13: 9780679763178); copies can be purchased at Labyrinth Book or online. Manuscript copies of Randy Johnson’s A Night with Janis Joplin and The Princeton and Slavery Project Plays will be provided for students by the instructor. In addition, the students will purchase discounted tickets for Simpatico and A Night with Janis Joplin during the first class meeting. These tickets will be priced at $35 per play. (Each student may purchase one additional ticket for the same performances at the same price.) Students who already have reserved tickets for these plays may exchange them if they wish. Tickets/seats for The Princeton and Slavery Project Plays will be arranged separately by the instructor. This event is free, but only one ticket per student will be obtainable. NOTE: This class will meet in the President’s Lounge Board Room on the lower level of McCarter’s Matthews Theater. It is accessed through the 91 University Place Administrative Services entrance. *Copy costs for the second and third plays are included in the cost of the course.
