The Outlook, OLLI at UCI Page 2 THE PRESIDENT’S CORNER The end of the “school-year” brings many changes throughout life; people move on and others enter our lives. This is where we are at OLLI at the close of the 2011-12 year. Our UCI liaison Harriet Whitmyer has retired and Tanya Zabalegui is our new liaison to the university. Jnana Anderson VP of Member Services has completed her board member term and Jan Elbaum is now holding that position . Jerry Devries and Harry Levy have left the OLLI board and Joann Burch has joined us. Harriet Whitmyer , the Director, Human Resources, UCI Extension, was named the liaison to OLLI about nine years ago. She was, according to those in the know, the perfect choice. So, much of what we have accomplished over the years is due to Harriet's quiet support. Harriet was the essential ingredient in our searches for another home, personnel problems, mediating financial issues, keeping the UCI ac- counts up to date and accurate, and promoting OLLI in the UCI world. Truly, we wouldn’t be where we are today without our friend and mentor, Harriet. Tanya Zabalegui, our new liaison , has successfully planned, designed and conducted symposiums, con- ferences, and special events in various departments throughout the campus, many of them tied to grants for specific programs. She is creative, positive, enthusiastic, and brimming with ideas. We are delighted that she will be working with us. Thank you Dean Matkin – for assigning this dynamic woman to OLLI as our UCI liaison. Harriet Whitmyer has assured us she will be an OLLI member in Spring 2013. Jnana Anderson and Jerry Devries will continue working on our Equinox Extravaganza celebrating OLLI’s 15 th birthday. Harry Levy, Jnana & Jerry will continue as OLLI members. So the “bottom line” is we’ve only added to our friendship circle. Welcome to OLLI, Tanya, and welcome to the board, Jan and Joann.

  • 2013-14 Season Brochure
    September 2013 Dear Friends and Patrons, Welcome to our 2013-14 season! The past year has seen many exciting developments, including the strengthening of relationships between the Claire Trevor School of the Arts and the Southern California community, as well as with other Schools in the university. We were honored to host the Hubbard/LINES ballet residency, which developed a collaboration that was then performed in Los Angeles’s Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and Chicago’s Harris Theater. The multimedia Sacre Project, created and debuted in our Contemporary Arts Center, went on to be replicated at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts and performed with the Pacific Symphony as part of its Rite of Spring Turns 100 concerts. We were also delighted to present a second and expanded season of the New Swan Shakespeare Festival here on the UCI campus, which played to sold out audiences and great acclaim. In addition to many other exhibitions and performances, we also vastly increased our Summer Academies in the Arts and expanded our community engagement and outreach. As part of our increased dialogue with the community, we have made a few significant changes to enhance our patrons’ experience. We will now be providing complimentary shuttle service to many events, earlier start times for weeknight drama productions, discounted parking fees for season subscribers, and partnerships with several area restaurants. The season ahead is built on this extraordinary momentum. In partnership with the Schools of Law and Humanities, we will present The Trial of Dedan Kimathi, a play written by Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature Ngugi wa Thiong’o, which explores the complex issues of citizenship and justice.

  • Reimagining Creativity for the 21St Century!
    Reimagining Creativity for the 21st Century! CTSA Website | Art | Dance | Drama | Music | UAG | Beall Center | Arts Outreach - Letter from the Dean Just when you thought UCI was in hibernation for the summer—here we are to surprise and stimulate you with offerings for every artistic taste— offerings that we hope will be too good to refuse. But first, let me say how excited I am to have been able to erase the “Interim” from my title and to replace it with “Actual.” I’m so deeply honored and excited at the prospect of leading the Trevor School for the next years, years during which we’ll accomplish many ambitious goals and create remarkable art. My best advice: watch this space! The month of the Crab and the Lion had much in store for you. Considered one of Irvine’s great attractions: the New Swan Shakespeare Festival productions of Hamlet and As You Like It, presented in our award-winning outdoor theatre in Aldrich Park, under the stars. Now well-established, the Swan is among the most popular summer activities at UCI—but get seats quickly: the small oval has very limited capacity and fills up very quickly. And remember that it’s not only Shakespeare you can experience there; come for mariachis, Mozart --- Mondays, outdoor preshow symposia on the plays and the productions, and much more. If you haven’t visited the Swan, you’ll be amazed at discovering CTSA’s professional theatre company, directed by Drama In This Issue: professor Eli Simon. All four of the Trevor School’s academic departments—Art, Dance, School News Drama, and Music—currently have extensive Summer Academies on campus, offering intensive and unforgettable art experiences to budding Faculty News artists and those who want to broaden their horizons.

  • Welcome to the Fourth Season of New Swan Shakespeare Festival! the New Swan Is a Venue Unique to Orange County, and Indeed to the World of Theatre
    Welcome to the fourth season of New Swan Shakespeare Festival! The New Swan is a venue unique to Orange County, and indeed to the world of theatre. Our 15-ton, modular mini-Elizabethan theater was a dream of UC Irvine’s Department of Drama in 1965 when the university was founded, and in the winter of 2011 this dream was brought to vivid life. Since the debut of our summer festival in 2012, we have run two classic Shakespearean plays in repertory each year, and last season debuted “Mozart Monday,” which this year has extended to a series of three Monday night music offerings in August. New Swan Shakespeare Festival is dedicated to the investigation and production of Shakespearean plays and relevant theatrical works. Shakespeare’s theatre was of and for the people, rather than an elite cultural event; similarly, we wish to share our work with the widest possible cross-section of our community. It was also driven by the desire to create a direct, egalitarian relationship between actors and audience, which is what we aim to do in our intimate, viscerally engaging venue. We want our audience to feel the emotions, actions, and texts as deeply as do New Swan actors, directors, designers, and creative and production teams. While we honor the history and classicism of Shakespeare’s works, we have no intention of producing them as museum pieces; rather, we are committed to recreating the immediacy of Shakespeare’s work, and examining it through the lens of its relevance to the 21st century. Summer 2015 brings us the Bard’s classics Macbeth and Much Ado About Nothing, in keeping with our custom of offering one tragedy and one comedy per season.

  • Edward De Vere, Earl of Oxford: Touchstone to the ELR
    Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford: Touchstone to the ELR Stephanie Hopkins Hughes he solution to the Authorship Question has not been easy; were it so we T would have had an answer long ago. For one thing, so much is missing from the record that it’s been impossible to treat the issue as an ordinary problem in historiography. The gaps between mainstream socio/political history and literary history, particularly as the latter relates to the birth of the London stage and press, are simply too many and too broad to base a functional narrative on ordinary methods of fact accumulation. Beyond the obvious, that these two immensely important institutions did get born somehow and at almost exactly the same time, what facts exist are simply not sufficient to provide us with a believ- able picture of how it happened and who was involved. In such a case a different approach is necessary: first, pull back to a level where there’s enough light to see where we’re going, then fill in the gaps with educated guesswork until the scenario begins to make sense. The result has been, not just an answer to who wrote the Shakespeare canon, but a new theory of the English Literary Renaissance: who actually created it and why it’s taken us so long to piece it together. It’s been difficult to nail the Shakespeare Authorship Question primarily be- cause it has turned out to be much broader and deeper than just the identity of one writer, however important. This expanded theory requires a rather complicated book, with sufficient explanations of how the gaping gulfs where records are mis- sing occurred in the first place, and sufficient citations that readers feel secure in following where conjecture has to take the place of proof.
