ARTS AND FILMS

(402-3499) Anyone Can Draw! – Tom Butler Tuesdays, February 5 – April 9, (8 sessions), (No class on March 19 or March 26) (2:00pm-4:00pm)

 Description: Well, almost anyone can draw….. Some folks simply cannot let go of their fears about drawing, and a few struggle to copy a simple line, but in my experience, almost anyone can learn to draw. It means acquiring a new way of seeing and a good deal of serious work, but for students willing to persevere the rewards are worth the effort. Through a series of graduated exercises, we will move from simple linear work through to portraiture in the course of eight sessions. It will be a challenge but it will also be lots of fun. (Class cap of 12).

 Bio: Tom Butler (Yale, 1971), enjoyed a 40-year teaching career at a variety of independent schools in New York & Connecticut. Specializing in history and economics, he also ventured into English, psychology, law, math and school administration. Tom has taught at Lifelong since 2011, recently adding teaching drawing to his repertoire.

(106-3500) Kitchen Theatre: The Roommate – Bevin O’Gara Wednesday, February 6, (1:00pm-3:00 pm)

 Description: Play read through: Meet Sharon, a fifty-something recent divorcee, and Robyn, her mysterious new roommate from the Bronx. As the two learn to live with each other–and their baggage–in Sharon's Iowa City home, they start to see what's missing in their lives. A laugh-out-loud comedy of moving boxes, new beginnings, questionable business ventures, and a little bit of marijuana.

 Bio: M. Bevin O'Gara is the Producing Artistic Director at the Kitchen Theatre Company in Ithaca, New York. Prior to that, she spent the last 15 years with the Huntington Theatre Company in Boston, Massachusetts most recently filling the role of Associate Producer. She has worked as the Artistic Associate at the New Repertory Theatre in Watertown, MA, where she started their second stage series called Downstairs at New Rep. Other companies include Williamstown Theatre Festival, The Actor’s Center of Australia and the Gaiety School in Dublin. Bevin has been a Guest Artist or Lecture at several Boston area schools and is the proud recipient of the Lois Roach Award for Outstanding Commitment to the Boston Theatre Community.

reading and talking about fairy tales then we’ll follow Philip Pullman’s command—“to make the story [our] own.” At the end of the course: a booklet of stories, and perhaps a reading/performance of them. (Limited to 8 students)

 Bio: Judy Katz, PhD English, Penn State, 1972, taught at Penn State then Juniata College before retiring to Ithaca in 2015. At Juniata, Judy created many courses, such as Women & Literature, World and African American Literatures, and African American Slave Narratives. Her interest in teaching this class comes from Philip Pullman’s “Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm,” in which he urges readers to rewrite and retell these familiar stories.

 Description: Documentary about the migration of pioneering African Americans to France and the impact both cultures had on each other. Through the use of rare photographs and stock footage, period music, and commentary by leading experts, it weaves stories and themes from World War I, the Jazz Age of the 1920s up to the German occupation of WWII.(Length 60 minutes)

 Bio: Eric Kofi Acree is currently Director of the John Henrik Clarke Africana Library at Cornell University. He is the African/African American subject specialist for Cornell University Library. He presently serves on the Boards of The History Center in Tompkins County and Cinemapolis. He attained his Masters of Library Studies degree from the University at Buffalo.

Let's gather to read them and have fun sharing our responses and why our favorites are favorites.

 Bio: Tom Hall is a retired sociologist who has had a life-long interest in poetry. He often used it to escape the more academic language he used in his professional career. He has almost no formal training in poetics, “but knows what he likes.” He finds that discussions of poems with others that “know what they like” typically lead to new poems, styles, and authors to explore.

 Bio: Brenda Kuhn has worked in public service with a focus on disability advocacy. Her recognition of the power of words and her love of fine literature led her to poetry, both composition and appreciation.

As always, my courses allow you to continue writing something you may already be working on or to follow the fun prompts.

 Bio: Julia has been writing for most of her retired life (over 15 years) and enjoys opening the world of writing to newcomers and providing a venue for more experienced writers to hone their craft.

 Description: From the well-publicized events at San Francisco State in 1968 to the image of black students with guns emerging from the takeover of the student union at

 Description: Baraka (2001), "A transcendently poetic tour of the globe, Baraka is a visualization of the interconnectedness that humans share with the earth, capturing not only the harmony but also the calamity that humans and nature have visited upon the earth." There will be a discussion after the film. Appropriate for all ages. Please feel free to bring a snack.

(017-3556) Understanding and Responding to Dementia Related Behaviors Wednesday, March 27, (1:00pm-2:30pm), (Held at McGraw House 221 S. Geneva Street, Ithaca)

 Description Behavior is a powerful form of communication and is one of the primary ways for people with dementia to communicate their needs and feelings as the ability to

use language is lost. However, some behaviors can present real challenges for caregivers to manage. Join us to learn to decode behavioral messages, identify common behavior triggers, and learn strategies to help intervene with some of the most common behavioral challenges of Alzheimer’s disease.

(027-3557) Effective Communication Strategies – Alzheimer’s Association Wednesday, May 29, (1:00pm-2:00pm), (Held at McGraw House 221 S. Geneva Street, Ithaca)

 Description: Communication is more than just talking and listening – it’s also about sending and receiving messages through attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions and body language. As people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias progress in their journey and the ability to use words is lost, families need new ways to connect. Join us to explore how communication takes place when someone has Alzheimer’s, learn to decode the verbal and behavioral messages delivered by someone with dementia, and identify strategies to help you connect and communicate at each stage of the disease.

While eating a healthy diet is important for everyone, when you have type 2 diabetes, eating smart is essential to managing your condition. A healthy diabetes diet can help you, but if you’ve never paid much attention to nutrition, you might find it hard to balance eating healthy meals with the rest of your diabetes management plan. The answer is to follow some simple healthy-eating tips that can get you on track in no time.

The Aging Mastery Program® (AMP) will help you create your own playbook for aging well via actionable goals, sustainable behaviors, peer support, and incentives. The program encourages mastery—developing behaviors across many dimensions that will lead to improved health, stronger financial security, and overall well-being.

What you will gain from the program:  Information to help you make small but impactful changes in your health behaviors, financial well-being and enrichment in later life.  Real incentives and rewards for taking small steps that can improve your well-being.  A chance to meet new friends, provide support and encouragement to your peers, and become more involved in your community.

What the program requires of you:

 Commitment to attend at least 7 (but hopefully more!) of the 10 ninety-minute classes.  Following up after each class with Action Steps specific to that class topic.

What participants are saying about the Aging Mastery Program:

“I thought I knew a lot about the topics on the curriculum but I’ve left every session having learned new things and different approaches to try on my own.”

“Great group…great facilitators” and “I look forward to the classes”
