Enrich Your Life: The Redemptrix Archetype: The Second ComingClass: Enrich Your Life: The Redemptrix Archetype: The Second Coming
This seminar explores the feminine archetype of the "redemptrix" and its relationship with the Christian concept of the Second Coming. The discussion will be based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Twelve Brothers" and the Nordic fairy tale "Twelve Swans." Both fairy tales relate to how the younger sister redeems her brothers from their enchantment into birds (into ravens in "Twelve Brothers" and into swans in "Twelve Swans"). Attention is given to the psychological meaning of the various symbols in the fairy tales. In particular, attention will be given to how the fairy tales outline the feminine way of individuation. Participants should read both fairy tales and bring to class copies of the fairy tales. Includes lunch. Taught by CC visiting professor Ramon Lopez-Reyes. Call the CC Arts Festival office to register at 719-389-6098 or register online at http://www.coloradocollege.edu/SummerPrograms/EnrichYourLife/. Sponsored by the CC Summer Festival of the Arts.

Enrich Your Life: Regarding Emma: Austen vs. the Filmmakers (Part II)Class: Enrich Your Life: Regarding Emma: Austen vs. the Filmmakers (Part II)
Jane Austen's novels have been the target of adaptations for almost two centuries, from the 19th century London stage to Hollywood and the BBC. Why? The class will look at the novel that some critics call Austen's greatest, "Emma," and ask why its characters, themes, and ideas have fascinated so many readers. Then we will look at the ways these materials have been understood, misunderstood, and recast by various films and TV miniseries. In particular we will study the Gwyneth Paltrow film version (1996), the Kate Beckinsale BBC version (1997), and the first-rate (in my view) "Clueless" (1995). Students should read and bring to class the Penguin edition, available in the Colorado College bookstore. The class will break for lunch and conclude with afternoon tea. Taught by George Butte. Call the CC Arts Festival office to register at 719-389-6098 or register online at http://www.coloradocollege.edu/SummerPrograms/EnrichYourLife/. Includes lunch/tea.

Face the CityTheater: Face the City
An edgy, contemporary "Dead Poets Society" meets "Stand By Me," "Face the City" is a live rock, multimedia theatrical experience about an idealistic dreamer who leaves his high school past only to find roads of disillusionment in the real world. The last night of a high school dream is celebrated by The Painter, The Journalist, and The Composer as told by The Performer. The four teenage boys embark on a journey that takes them into the forbidden underbelly of East L.A., a fantasy flight on the "Rock Dragon" and an ascent up "The Bridge" that serves as a metaphor throughout the show. "Face the City" is the inspirational true story about redemption and the recapturing of innocence in a society that so readily tries to define who you are. With Jesse Wilson, writer/performer, and musician Mad Francis. Sponsored by the CC Summer Festival of the Arts.
