SUMMARY:2025 Global Understanding Convention
DESCRIPTION:The Global Understanding Convention Committee of the Institute for Global Understanding at Monmouth University is pleased to invite proposals from faculty\, students\, and staff for its biennial Global Understanding Convention. Proposals may include research papers\, panels\, colloquia (open classrooms)\, lectures\, performances\, art exhibitions\, film presentations\, and poster sessions. We will also host a Pearson World Cinema Series screening\, poster contest\, Fulbright and Global Studies presentations\, keynote speech\, luncheon speaker\, global food bazaar\, and music events. \nThe focus of this year’s Convention is a reflection on the United Nations’ Member States Declaration of 2025 as the “International Year of Peace and Trust.” The UN estimates that nearly 2 billion people live in communities impacted by conflict. The UN General Assembly resolution (A/RES/78/266) “Calls upon the international community to resolve conflicts through inclusive dialogue and negotiation … to ensure the strengthening of peace and trust in relations between Member States as a value that promotes sustainable development\, peace and security\, and human rights.” \nOur two-day convention aims to engage in conversation and critical reflection on the ways that the Monmouth University campus community can work to support and sustain a culture of peace\, dialogue\, and trust in the region\, the nation\, and around the world. Proposals may cover topics that include\, but are not limited to\, education; communication\, culture\, and creativity; peace and conflict resolution; human rights and security; science\, technology\, and innovation; trade and development; health and well-being; sustainability and our common future; as well as social work and community engagement.

SUMMARY:La Bohème
DESCRIPTION:With its enchanting setting and spellbinding score\, the world’s most popular opera is as timeless as it is heartbreaking. Franco Zeffirelli’s picture-perfect production brings 19th century Paris to the Met stage as Puccini’s young friends and lovers navigate the joy and struggle of bohemian life. Soprano Juliana Grigoryan is the feeble seamstress Mimì\, opposite tenor Freddie De Tommaso as the ardent poet Rodolfo. Keri-Lynn Wilson conducts the November 8 performance\, which will be transmitted live from the Met stage to the Pollak Theatre.

SUMMARY:History of Motown Records
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: November 6\, 13\, & 20\, 2025 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nIn Detroit in the 1960’s Motown Records produced hits as efficiently as the Ford Motor Company produced automobiles. It was the “Sound of Young America” conceived by Berry Gordy J and sung by performers like The Supremes\, The Temptations\, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder. Using audio and visual content\, we’ll trace the amazing musical journey from the power soul of “Dancing in The Streets” and “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” to the psychedelic soul of “What’s Going On” and “Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone” to the pop soul of The Jackson 5. Timeless music that moved us then and moves us now. \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Frankenstein
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Academy Award®-winner Danny Boyle (Trainspotting\, Slumdog Millionaire)\, Frankenstein features Benedict Cumberbatch (Hamlet\, BBC’s Sherlock) and Jonny Lee Miller (Elementary\, Trainspotting) alternating between the roles of Victor Frankenstein and his creation. \nChildlike in his innocence but grotesque in form\, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes\, the increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal. \nScientific responsibility\, parental neglect\, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil\, are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic tale. \nThis broadcast will feature the version with Benedict Cumberbatch as the Creature. \n \n

SUMMARY:La Sonnambula
DESCRIPTION:Following triumphant Live in HD performances in Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette\, Verdi’s La Traviata\, and Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor\, Nadine Sierra summits another peak of the soprano repertoire as Amina\, who sleepwalks her way into audiences’ hearts in Bellini’s poignant tale of love lost and found. In his new production\, Rolando Villazón—the tenor who has embarked on a brilliant second career as a director—retains the opera’s original setting in the Swiss Alps but uses its somnambulant plot to explore the emotional and psychological valleys of the mind. Tenor Xabier Anduaga co-stars as Amina’s fiancé\, Elvino\, alongside soprano Sydney Mancasola as her rival\, Lisa\, and bass Alexander Vinogradov as Count Rodolfo. Riccardo Frizza takes the podium for one of opera’s most ravishing works\, which will be transmitted live from the Met stage to Pollak Theatre on October 18. \n\nDue to wet ground conditions\, there will be no parking on the Pollack/Great Lawnfield tomorrow. Please park in the soccer fields or identify yourself to the football parking assistants as performing art patrons\, and the fee will be waived. \nThank you\, and enjoy the show!

SUMMARY:Art for the Non-Artist
DESCRIPTION:Can’t even draw a stick figure? Struggle with perfectionism?\nThis isn’t your average art class—it’s a creative empowerment workshop created especially for those who think they can’t draw. You’ll learn to draw with both technical skill and confidence—in just one session. With a single feather as your subject\, you’ll learn to slow down and really see—translating its shape and texture into a drawing through focused observation. Each drawing will reflect the individual behind it—created entirely by your own hand\, and completed with real technical skill\, even if it’s your very first time. \nLed by Art Coach and Teaching Artist Jenny Santa Maria\, this workshop helps you unlearn the myth of “natural talent” and discover the joy of drawing as a skill that can be taught\, learned\, and enjoyed. Jenny has guided countless anxious\, curious\, and discouraged individuals to find joy and confidence through creative expression\, bringing her workshops to libraries\, art centers\, and community spaces across New England. \nWhether you’re working through limiting beliefs or simply curious about reconnecting with your creativity\, this workshop offers a safe\, encouraging space to explore art making as a new language—one that can enrich every part of your life. \nAll materials provided. No experience needed.

SUMMARY:Georgia O’Keeffe: the Brightness of Light and Q&A with the Filmmakers
DESCRIPTION:Georgia O’Keeffe: the Brightness of Light is a 2-hour documentary exploring the life and art of the most important woman artist of the 20th century – the ”Mother of Modernism.” In the 1920s\, O’Keeffe became famous for her paintings of flowers\, bones\, and the beauty of nature. She posed nude for shocking photographs by Alfred Stieglitz\, but denied that her paintings depicted sexual imagery. In the 1970s\, she emerged as an iconic role model for women. \nFollowing the screening\, Producer Ellen Casey Wagner and Director Paul Wagner will host a discussion to share insights into the making of the documentary and answer audience questions. \nIn 1989\, one year after they got married\, Paul and Ellen Wagner formed American Focus\,\ntheir non-profit organization dedicated to the creation of documentary films about America\nand her people. Since then\, they have released over thirty films\, including several feature\nfilms broadcast nationally on public television: Out of Ireland\, about the history of Irish\nemigration to America; Good Work\, about master craftsmen in the building arts; and Black\nin Blue\, about the four football players at the University of Kentucky who broke the color\nline in the Southeastern Conference. In 1999\, Paul and Ellen released Windhorse\, their award-winning dramatic feature film about young Tibetans and their struggle for freedom under the Chinese communist regime\, filmed secretly in China and Nepal. As a team\, Ellen is the president of American Focus and assumes the producing duties\, while Paul serves as the writer and director of their films. Prior to their formation of American Focus\, Ellen worked as a producer for WETA\, the public television station in Washington\, DC. \, and Paul was an independent filmmaker\, winning an Oscar and several Emmy Awards for his documentary work.
