Mastering the art of writing
Mastering the art of writing
Event on 2012-06-13 09:00:00
The ability to write well-crafted copy for press releases, features, websites, presentations and media sell-ins doesn't always come easily. Most professional writers admit to fine-tuning many drafts before being completely happy with the finished result. Mastering the art of writing uses a mix of exercises, coaching, tricks of the trade and feedback to show good writers how to become great ones.

Samuel Beckett’s Film
Samuel Beckett’s Film
Event on 2012-06-03 17:00:00
Beckett’s Film is in essence a chase film – arguably the craziest committed to celluloid. It’s a chase between camera and pursued image that finds dread embedded in the very apparatus. The link to cinema’s essence is evident in the casting, as the chased object is none other than an aged Buster Keaton, who was befuddled at Beckett’s imperative that he keep his face hidden from the camera’s gaze. Preservation Funded by The Film Foundation and administered by the National Film Preservation Foundation.
Followed by Play of the Week: Waiting for Godot (directed by Alan Schneider, USA, 1961, 102 min.) Premiering in 1959 on WNTA-TV in New York, the ambitious experiment Play of the Week presented an eclectic mix of plays that, according to series producer Lewis Freedman, “no one else would touch.” As an independently produced series, Play of the Week was not subject to the same McCarthy-inspired scrutiny as network television programs of the era. Thanks to progressive casting decisions by producers such as David Susskind, actor Zero Mostel, who suffered years of unemployment for refusing to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, enjoyed a comeback after being selected for Samuel Beckett’s absurdist masterpiece, Waiting for Godot. Mostel and Burgess Meredith are keen existential partners in this wry drama of deferred desire and stymied reward. No fan of the tube, Beckett once wrote, "My play wasn't written for this box. My play was written for small men locked in a big space.” Nevertheless, the (fifty-year) wait is over for this small production that’s big on meaning.

Victoria Bach Festival String Orchestra
Conspirare
Craig Hella Johnson, conductor
A contrast in eras and emotions. George Frideric Handel's dynamic Dixit Dominus features insistent, soaring vocal lines and furiously complex counterpoint. Arvo Pärt's luminous, deeply felt Berliner Messe creates an aura of meditative serenity. On the Beach at Night by American composer Andrew Imbrie finds the awe in Walt Whitman's words, lifting this magical poem to greater heights.
Pre-concert talk with Margaret Perry of the Armstrong Community Music School, 6:30 pm.
