SUMMARY:Virtual Tuesday Night Book Club: Ernest Hemingway\, The Sun Also Rises
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Ernest Hemingway\, The Sun Also Rises. \nOriginally published in 1926\, The Sun Also Rises is Ernest Hemingway’s first novel and a classic example of his spare but powerful writing style.​ \nA poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation\, the novel introduces two of Hemingway’s most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. In his first great literary masterpiece\, Hemingway portrays an age of moral bankruptcy\, spiritual dissolution\, unrealized love\, and vanishing illusions. \n“The ideal companion for troubled times: equal parts Continental escape and serious grappling with the question of what it means to be\, and feel\, lost.” —The Wall Street Journal \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. GET MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO USE ZOOM

SUMMARY:Virtual Tuesday Night Book Club: David Guterson\, Snow Falling on Cedars
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is David Guterson’s Snow Falling on Cedars. \nSan Piedro Island\, north of Puget Sound\, is a place so isolated that no one who lives there can afford to make enemies. But in 1954 a local fisherman is found suspiciously drowned\, and a Japanese American named Kabuo Miyamoto is charged with his murder. In the course of the ensuing trial\, it becomes clear that what is at stake is more than a man’s guilt. For on San Pedro\, memory grows as thickly as cedar trees and the fields of ripe strawberries—memories of a charmed love affair between a white boy and the Japanese girl who grew up to become Kabuo’s wife; memories of land desired\, paid for\, and lost. Above all\, San Piedro is haunted by the memory of what happened to its Japanese residents during World War II\, when an entire community was sent into exile while its neighbors watched. Gripping\, tragic\, and densely atmospheric\, Snow Falling on Cedars is a masterpiece of suspense— one that leaves us shaken and changed. \n“Haunting…. A whodunit complete with courtroom maneuvering and surprising turns of evidence and at the same time a mystery\, something altogether richer and deeper.”—Los Angeles Times \n“Compelling…heartstopping. Finely wrought\, flawlessly written.”—The New York Times Book Review \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. GET MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO USE ZOOM

SUMMARY:Poetry Appreciation
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: Thursdays – May 13 \, May 20 and May 27 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nThis three-session virtual course\, taught by Michael Thomas\, provides attendees with an introduction to the craft of poetry\, while also carefully considering poems that have been deeply meaningful to our lives. \nOur current culture asks that we move quickly\, while poetry demands the opposite– that we slow down and explore life experiences with careful reflection and deeper understanding. \nWhile you may not be an experienced reader or writer of poems\, this course will introduce methods of writing and reading that we hope will help you to take steps in developing an ear and eye for great poems and how\, by inhabiting the poems you experience joys in reading. \n“Poetry and poetry alone has saved my life\,” wrote the poet\, Anne Sexton. There is evidence of lyric poetry in every language and in every culture throughout history. It is with this fact that we can approach poetry as a vital force in our lives\, not as a genre of literature reserved only for those with special talents. \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.

DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award\, the #1 New York Times bestseller from Colson Whitehead\, a magnificent tour de force chronicling a young slave’s adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. In Whitehead’s ingenious conception\, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor—engineers and conductors operate a secret network of tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic adventure tale of one woman’s ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shattering\, powerful meditation on the history we all share.

SUMMARY:Virtual Tuesday Night Book Club: Rebecca Skloot's The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Rebecca Skloot’s The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Her name was Henrietta Lacks\, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors\, yet her cells—taken without her knowledge—became one of the most important tools in medicine: The first “immortal” human cells grown in culture\, which are still alive today\, though she has been dead for more than sixty years \nAs Rebecca Skloot so brilliantly shows\, the story of the Lacks family—past and present—is inextricably connected to the dark history of experimentation on African Americans\, the birth of bioethics\, and the legal battles over whether we control the stuff we are made of. \n#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The story of modern medicine and bioethics—and\, indeed\, race relations—is refracted beautifully\, and movingly.”—Entertainment Weekly\n \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. GET MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO USE ZOOM

SUMMARY:Enter The Facilitatrix: Strategic Soft Power for Collaborative Artists
DESCRIPTION:Elliot Reed’s Enter the Facilitatrix outlines a select few performances and\, through the use of participatory exercises\, enacts some the process he uses during rehearsals. Rehearsal provides an invaluable tool for developing content\, building camaraderie\, and identifying the unique talents of each person in the room. Reed believes in play and respects “unscripted” studio time as a constant wellspring of potential. His role as director is to highlight\, edit\, and reassemble the material presented to him. This is only possible by treating the cast as individuals\, promoting a shared goal while developing trust between each other. A trusting cast is able to extend their limits and offer support\, because the fear of ostracism is greatly diminished. His objective is to share improvisational tools for generating ideas\, clearing creative muck\, and bringing people together—inspiration that extends to many collaborative\, creative\, and social disciplines. \nElliot Reed is a performance artist and director based in New York City. Working in realtime\, Reed creates solos\, ensemble performances\, and videos that center the live subject. His projects exist between people\, leveraging candid interaction among performers and audience. Utilizing a choreographic lens\, Reed assembles bodies\, movement prompts\, and narrative within exhibition spaces. As viewers move through his work\, the narrative arc moves through them\, unfurling itself in actual time. Reed is a 2019 danceWEB scholar\, 2019-20 Artist In Residence at The Studio Museum in Harlem\, and recipient of the 2019 Rema Hort Mann Emerging Artist Grant. Recent works include a commission with JACK Quartet (2020)\, MoMA PS1 (2021)\, The Getty Museum (2018)\, The Hammer Museum (2016)\, The Dorthy Chandler Pavilion (2018)\, The Broad (2017)\, University of Southern California (2016)\, and performances at MoonStep Tokyo (2017)\, MNSKTM Osaka (2017)\, VFD London (2017)\, and MOOI Collective Mexico City (2017). \nFor more information\, visit elliotreedlabs.com or email Amanda Stojanov\, Assistant Professor of Digital Media (astojano@monmouth.edu). \nThis event is being recorded for educational and archival purposes and it may be posted on our website. By participating in this presentation\, you give permission for Monmouth University to record the presentation for University purposes. You understand that your name\, likeness\, voice and statements may be recorded. If you do not wish to be recorded\, a recording of this presentation will later be available upon request\, and you can contact Amanda Stojanov\, Assistant Professor of Digital Media (astojano@monmouth.edu) with any questions you may have regarding the presentation.

SUMMARY:History of Motown
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: Thursdays –  January 28\, February 4 and February 11 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nIn 1959\, a young songwriter named Berry Gordy started a record company with an $800 loan from his family. That company\, Motown\, would not only become the first Black-owned label to reach widespread national success; it would substantially transform music and culture.  This three-week course explores the evolution of the label\, from its beginnings through its 1960s heyday featuring acts like the Supremes\, the Four Tops\, and the Temptations. The 1970s brought political statements\, youthful pop\, and disco\, while the 1980s ushered in funk and smooth R&B. Through multimedia presentations and discussions\, this three-session virtual course\, taught by Kit O’Toole\, will cover all these eras\, enhancing understanding of Motown’s history and enduring legacy. \nKit O’Toole\, Ed.D. is the author of Michael Jackson FAQ: All That’s Left to Know about the King of Pop and Songs We Were Singing: Guided Tours through the Beatles’ Lesser-Known Tracks. Her writing has appeared on several websites\, and she has guested on several music podcasts. She also cohosts the biweekly show “Talk More Talk: A Solo Beatles Videocast.” \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.
