Letter from the President

We are very excited to offer a spectacular season of courses, new, old and continuing. Allow yourself to make a commitment to em-brace our philosophy that “learning never ends.” It is not just an advertising slogan; it is a way of life! Look at the hundreds of courses waiting to tempt you. In our brochure and on our website, explore the treasures we have collected to challenge, edify, and entertain. If you have always wanted to: play the piano, speak French (or even Arabic or Chinese), make better photos, cook a terrific meal, listen to topical lectures, or command your personal finances we have the resources for you. As our 76th year rolls out we are offering numerous NEW options which are clearly marked in the brochure and the website. Among the new ones are Social Poker, Introduction to Opera, and World War One: One Hundred Years Later.

If you don’t see something that you are particularly craving, let us know. Perhaps we can satisfy that appetite too. If you have a talent or interest you would like to share with others through our program, let us know on our website (www.princetonadultschool.org). Under “Who We Are” there is a tab to offer to teach for us.

Finally, a loud, heart-felt thank you to everyone who helped make our 75th year celebration a tremendous success — the patrons, the businesses community, our collaborating partners, the schools and government in Princeton. We exceeded our goals in all areas, as well as received numerous accolades for our program and work through the years. We feel the community appreciates what we provide, and it heartens us to move forward. Please feel free to let us know how we are doing.

As the recently elected President of the Princeton Adult School, I thank my immediate predecessor, Mark Branon, as well as those before him whose leadership has made the School the valuable community asset that it is. Also tremendous gratitude goes to the members of the board of trustees, our teachers, and the three dedicated staff members who magically make the whole thing happen, semester after semester and year after year.

Remember, the road to lifelong learning is like the road to Ithaca, “full of adventure, full of knowledge.”* Join us on this “beautiful journey.”*

LECTURES AND DISCUSSIONS

NOTE: Lectures will be held in the Friend Center Audito-rium, William and Olden Streets. Park in lot # 10 or 10A be-tween Olden Street and Washington Road. You will receive a course ticket for the entire series at check-in at the first lecture you attend. No prior confirmation will be sent.

When we offered a series of lectures on economics and public policy nine years ago, we were overwhelmed by the response of a standing room only audience. Since that time, questions involving the economy have become even more relevant and central to our lives, dominating the news both here and abroad. We have invited eight experts to address some of the important issues we face, and to help us better understand the implications of policy decisions in critical areas. If we did not know before, the turmoil of the last several years has made all of us keenly aware of the impact that economic policy has on our lives.These lectures are co-sponsored by the Princeton Adult School and the Community Auditing Program of Princeton University’s Office of Community and Regional Affairs.

$119Ann Casano, adjunct professor of cinema studies and screenwriter Tues., 6:30–9:30 pm, Nov 4, 6 sessions

In this class, we will learn the critical tools used to analyze film, how films work, and determine how the cinema defines our society. We will also explore one of the cinema’s most debated questions: is film art? The ultimate goal of this course is to look at the various technical, stylistic and narrative options available to a filmmaker and the choices that he or she made in putting the film together. We will concentrate on developing critical and analytic skills and will decon-struct film as active audience participants instead of as passive spectators. You will screen six of the greatest American films ever made and discuss those films at length. Please visit www.princetonadultschool.org for a complete listing of films.

HOW TO ANALYZE A FILM

Maureen McCormick, Iconographer-in-Residence at Trinity Church, PrincetonTues., 7:30–9:15 pm, Oct. 7, 3 sessions

This lecture course will introduce students to the development, history, and theol-ogy of iconography, which, in the context of Christian art, refers to depictions of Jesus, his mother Mary, angels, and the saints. Each class will include a lecture, along with a demonstration of some of the steps involved in the “writing” of an icon: gilding, preparation of egg tempera, mixing of pigments, and oiling a finished work. This sacred art, which flourished first in the Byzantine Empire, and subsequently in medieval Russia, is in the midst of a renaissance worldwide.

$89WORLD WAR I: ONE HUNDRED YEARS LATER

This course will look back over the past 100 years and explore the origins of World War I. As historian Margaret McMillan states in her book, The War That Ended Peace, “World War I still haunts us.” In retrospect, could the war have been averted? Are there any parallels today to the global tensions, national rivalries, mili-tarism, revolutionary fervor, and false sense of security that existed in 1914? What lessons can this centenary year of World War I teach us about the uses and abuses of power, the art of diplomacy, and global responsibility?

MODERN GREEK CINEMA

Judith Zinis, professor of film studies Thurs., 7:00–9:00 pm, Oct. 2, 6 sessions

PHS006 NEW!

$119Nikos Kazantzakis, the author of the novel, Zorba the Greek wrote, “I struggle to distinguish the two great currents which constitute the double-born soul of Greece,” that is, the nexus of east and west found in the Greek character. This course will in-troduce students to Modern Greek cinema within such a histori-cal and cultural framework. By the end of the course, you will better understand what it means to be Greek, even in these troubled times. As Zorba says in the novel, “Happy is the man, I thought, who, before dying, has the good fortune to sail the Aegean Sea.” We will see, analyze, discuss and “sail” through five Greek films including Zorba the Greek, Rembetiko, Landscape in The Mist, A Touch of Spice, and Attenberg. The films will be introduced by placing them within the context of modern Greece. An analysis and lively discussion will follow the viewing of each film.o

The class begins with the great entertainment schism of 1849 and proceeds through the development of Blackface minstrelsy and its subsequent stepchildren: popular melodrama, vaude-ville, burlesque, and the great Broadway revues of the 1920s. We will take a look at the medicine show, rodeo, carnival and circus, and variety entertainments, as well as the development of the Broadway musical.

First we look at the abstract-expressionists’ revolutionary departure from representational painting and how that moved the center of the art world from Paris to New York. Pop Art changed the way we look at art. Many new movements followed: minimal art, earth art, concep-tual art and graffiti. Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, Christo, and Jean-Michel Basquiat and others will be discussed. Some were personal friends of the instructor.

ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT WORLD

Elena Livingstone-Ross, teacher of art history and European historyTues., 7:00–8:30 pm, Oct. 7, 9 sessions

This is an illustrated trip to the ancient world, where Achilles fought Hector, Them-istocles saved Greece by drowning the Persians in the Straights of Salamis, Socra-tes drank hemlock and gave David an opportunity to paint him doing it a couple of millennia later, and Diogenes of Sinope despised them all. It is also the world in which Rome rose and fell, but not before Caesar’s death manifested the death of the Republic, and Augustus’s life inaugurated the birth of the Empire, which was destined to rule over seventy million people, from Britain to the Arabian Desert, and from the Danube to the sands of the Sahara. It is a world that created civilization as we know it and, without which, our world would never be possible.

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 at McCarter Theatre, as well as one from a past season. 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.The plays to be included are: Antony and Cleopatra, one of Shakespeare’s great masterpieces, full of romance, passion, and betrayal. It is an intimate tale of two legendary lovers whose desires shaped the destiny of the world. The Under-study, which Pulitzer Prize-finalist Theresa Rebeck has penned as an hysterical backstage battle royale, is the understudy rehearsal for a hit new Broadway play, where backstage friction takes center stage in a biting comedy about art, celeb-rity, and the things we do for the business we love. For more information about these plays see McCarter’s web page at www.mccarter.org. A third play—either previously mounted at McCarter or adapted into a feature film — will be se-lected by the instructor for study, screening, and discussion to round out the se-mester.TICKETS AND TEXTS: *On the first night of the class, a copy of the first play to be studied and discussed will be handed out. Students should purchase the second text, Theresa Rebeck’s The Understudy (Dramatist Play Service, 2010) ISBN-13: 978-0822224532. Information about how to purchase the text of the third play will be provided by the instructor. In addition, the students will purchase discounted tickets for Anthony and Cleopatra and The Understudy during the first class. 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. There will be no additional charge for the viewing/screening of the third play.

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.

Philip Roth’s novella Everyman was described by The New York Times as the story of a “multi- divorced advertising man grappling with family estrangement, illness and death.” Over the course of two evenings, Professor Michael Wood, the Charles Barnwell Straut Class of 1923 Emeritus Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Princeton University, will explore the central themes of Roth’s book, bringing his own perspective and rich experience to the class discussion. On the second evening, Philip Roth and Ed Dusinberre, the first violinist of the Takács String Quartet will join the discussion via Skype. Class participants are then invited to attend a special performance hosted by Princeton University Concerts on Friday, September 19, at 7:30 pm in Richardson Auditorium, when excerpts of the book will be read by actress Meryl Streep and paired with works for string quartet by Arvo Pärt and Schubert played by the Takács String Quartet. This unique collaboration features some of the most brilliant, creative and interpretive artists of our time. Participants should read Everyman in advance of the class and come prepared to discuss it.

Witness the orchestra preparing for its Classical Series concerts; listen as PSO Music Director Rossen Milanov explains musical ideas and coaches the orchestra, administering technical guidance as well as drawing on imagery and reflections about the human experience to shape the performance; hear beautiful and adventuresome music performed at its final rehearsal. Participants are welcomed and hosted at Richardson Auditorium by PSO Executive Director Melanie Clarke who shares behind the scenes remarks.

Session I: Sat., Sept. 27 Concert: Romantic Imaginings Rossen Milanov, conductor Bella Hristova, violin*Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1 in G Minor Bruckner Symphony No. 4 in E-flat Major, “Romantic”

A season of romance begins with the sweetness and beauty of Max Bruch’s first violin concerto, composed when he was only nineteen, his youthful imagination in full bloom at the height of the Romantic Period. Opening with an arresting horn fanfare, Bruckner’s “Romantic” sym-phony harkens back to medieval times, calling to mind knights sallying forth for a woodland hunt. In this symphony, Bruckner’s vast musical vision unfolds in layer after layer of sublimely eloquent themes, full of variety and character, achieving an underlying radiance that is unmistakably sacred and glorious.

Session II, Sat., Nov. 1 Concert: Classically RussianRossen Milanov, conductor Natasha Paremski, piano*

Bolcom Commedia for “Almost” 18th Century OrchestraTchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat Major, Op. 23Stravinsky Petrushka

William Bolcom’s Commedia is at turns mocking, theatrical, and above all entertaining as he arranges a surreal exchange of views by stock Italian op-era characters in a deft pastiche. The center of the piece is a quick, merry saltarello dance leading to an unsettled instrumental mosaic which casts a spell of anxious, dreamlike instability to the entertainment. A profusion of passion, excitement and ardor play out in Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1, one of his most famous and beloved works. Stravinsky takes Rus-sian romantic nationalism into an abstract realm represented by blocks of sound and rhythm. His music for Petrushka incorporates colorful Russian folk music amid bold swaths of sound in this ballet inspired by commedia dell’arte characters.

Session III, Saturday, Jan 17 Concert: Scenic Rhythms Daniel Boico, guest conductor* Robert Belinić, guitar*Respighi Trittico BotticellianoRodrigo Concierto de AranjuezBeethoven Symphony No. 7 in A Major

Romantic fascination with national art and folk music carries into the early 20th century with Ottorino Respighi’s shimmering homage to three iconic paintings by the Italian artist Sandro Botticelli, and Joaquín Rodrigo’s Conci-erto de Aranjuez, infused with distinctly Spanish rhythms and showcasing the splendor of Spanish classical guitar. Beethoven’s seventh symphony is an intoxicating adventure of wild, swirling motion, deploying dance-like rhythms as its vitalizing force. It is one of Beethoven’s most magnificent and admired creations.*For more information about the individual artists, please visit our website.

Denise DeNezzo-Asfar: co-translator, “Musiques Cubaines”; contributor, Metropolitan Opera QuizThurs., 6:00–9:15 pm, 5 sessions Oct. 2, 16, 30, Nov. 6, Dec. 11

Of the thousands of operas produced worldwide, “La Traviata” is the most frequently performed of our century. What makes this tale of a French courtesan as popular today as over a century ago? What thrills audiences who dismiss as melodramatic the play that was Verdi’s source—“Camille,” Dumas fils’s one-hit wonder? In this class, we’ll use historical video- and audio-recordings, with bilingual libretti, to enhance appreciation of Verdi’s immortal opera, while reinforcing Italian language skills. We’ll also explore the heroine of the opera and Dumas’s play, as well as the historical figure — Dumas’s real-life lover — that inspired him. There’s an optional trip to the Metropoli-tan Opera’s production.

TEXT: All required texts will be supplied by the instructor.

Recommended Texts: “La Traviata” (Black Dog Opera Library, 1998)—CD, libretto, and notes; “La Dame Aux Camélias (Camille) : A Play in Five Acts — Primary Source Edition,” Alexandre Dumas, Sarah Bernhardt (F. Rullmann, 1890); L’Italiano con L’Opera: Lin-gua, Cultura e Conversazione (Yale University Press, 2002). ISBN: 978-0-30009-154-0.

Ronald Lavine, DC, private practitioner of chiropractic in New York City and PrincetonTues., 7:30–8:30 pm, Nov. 11, 1 session

A revolutionary shift has occurred in our understanding of health over the past two decades based on re-evaluating the relationship we have with the colonies of bacteria that thrive in the human digestive tract. Rather than see bacteria as agents of disease, this new viewpoint rec-ognizes the intimate role our intestinal flora play in digestion, nutrient absorption, protection from toxic chemicals, and immune function. Healthy colonies of gut bacteria influence your appetite and play a role in regulating body weight, bloating, irritable bowel, and the for-mation of ulcers. What’s more, they emit hormones that control your metabolism, mood, and brain function, and may influence depression, fibromyalgia, allergies, and more. Join Dr. Lavine for sixty minutes of lively information about this news-breaking health topic, and be guided to begin a simple health program to improve your relationship with your closest neighbors.

$30ORGANIZING YOUR LEGAL AND FINANCIAL PAPERS

Deciding which personal legal and financial documents to keep and which to throw can be daunting. As a result, most of us either keep everything and eventually face the problem of bloated files in precious space or attempting to replace a critical record that got tossed un-knowingly. In this mini-course, we’ll review the importance of personal documents, such as bills, receipts, contracts, insurance policies and statements, bank and broker statements, in-vestment prospectuses and reports, appraisals, annuity contracts and bills, wills, powers of attorney, pre-nuptials, trust agreements, and tax returns. Some records may be irreplaceable and should be kept in a locked fireproof file; others may be kept in a permanent file; others may be kept for a definite period of time before tossing; still others can be immediately tossed so they never make it into the files in the first place. Making sure the files and folders are set up properly for your purposes will smooth the job of filing away the papers and re-cords.

LATIN EYE-WITNESS: THE REAL STORY OF“ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA”

Some 2000 years ago, a “fatal attraction” between the world’s most powerful rulers changed irrevocably the course of Western civilization. The story of Marcus Antonius and Cleopatra VII Philopator has inspired the greatest writers, artists, and compos-ers for over two millennia, yet much about the historical figures remains veiled in mystery. In this course, we will study authentic Latin texts to explore the passions and politics of this tumultuous romance. The use of bilingual (Latin-English) texts will intro-duce beginners to basic Latin structures, while providing more advanced students with review within the context of works by Cicero, Suetonius, et al. There will be an optional trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Egyptian collection and Special Exhibit on “Cleopatra’s Needle.”

TEXT: All required material will be supplied by the instructor;

Recommended Texts: Wheelock’s Latin,Sixth Edition (revised); Suetonius, Volume 1 (Loeb Classical Library); Diana Preston, “Cleopatra And Antony: Power, Love, and Politics in the An-cient World” (Walker, 2009); Stacy Schiff, “Cleopatra—A Life” (Little, Brown & Company, 2010).
