SUMMARY:Gothic Story Elements
DESCRIPTION:INSTRUCTOR: Angélique Jamail\nTIME: Saturday\, September 7\, 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. CDT\nPRICE: Early bird price: $45 for members\, $60 for nonmembers. The deadline for early bird pricing is Sunday\, September 1. After Sunday\, September 1: $55 for members\, $70 for nonmembers. Become a member here. Apply for a scholarship here.\nLOCATION: Hybrid. Writespace\, 1907 Sabine Street\, #125\, Houston\, TX 77007 (map). This workshop is also available via Zoom.\nLEVEL: All levels\nCAP: 15\nWhat do a darkly beautiful aesthetic\, #WitchyGirlAutumn\, and a tantalizing sense of foreboding all have in common? They can be part of the rich pageant of Gothic story elements that make so many “classic”—or “forbidden”—literary pleasures so deep. In this three-hour generative workshop\, we will dip our feet into the chilling waters of Gothic literature to find out what that genre entails. Expect a multi-faceted exploration as we discuss a range of examples in visual art\, film\, music\, and mentor texts. Our writing time will include the opportunity to use these Gothic elements to begin a story or enhance one you’ve already started. Students will have the option of sharing what they’ve written during the workshop. Come with your favorite writing utensils (a laptop\, a legal pad and sharpened pencils\, a leather-bound journal and a fancy feather quill—whatever works for you). Let’s kick off the Gothic season in writing style! All levels of writing experience are welcome.\nThis event is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance. This project is generously funded by the Houston Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs\, and Mid-America Arts Alliance.\nThis project is generously funded by Mid-America Arts Alliance\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the state arts agencies of Arkansas\, Kansas\, Missouri\, Nebraska\, Oklahoma\, and Texas.Writespace\, 1907 Sabine Street\, #125\, Houston\, TX 77007 (map)

SUMMARY:Fiction Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Creating Fiction through Generative Revision – Online Workshop\nEmerging writers are familiar with the experience of a story that starts off strong and is a joy to write\, but later becomes a labor that goes unfinished. This workshop will focus on techniques to deal with this loss of momentum. We have this idea that great work comes to other writers in one neat\, complete package. It’s only through experience that we learn that the best writing is achieved with patience and intentional work through layers of thoughtful\, generative revision. In this eight-week fiction workshop\, we will strategically analyze works of published fiction and workshop our own stories in small groups as we work through a layered drafting schedule to bring to life a fully developed short story that is grounded in inspiration from life.\nAbout the instructor:\nPATRICK STOCKWELL is the author of The Light Here Changes Everything\, winner of the Clay Reynolds Novella Prize. His work can also be found in Gulf Coast\, Glass Mountain\, and elsewhere. He is an Inprint MD Anderson Foundation fellow and PhD candidate in fiction at the University of Houston and holds an MFA from New Mexico State University.

SUMMARY:Blackout Poetry as a Spiritual Practice
DESCRIPTION:Discover how easy it can be to get out of your head and connect with the wisdom of the heart. In the mid-1500’s\, St. Ignatius of Loyala developed a series of prayers and imaginative exercises anticipating some of the most important findings of depth psychology – that our inner lives are composed of many different parts\, and that getting to know these parts and their influences on our lives and the world around us is the creative project of a lifetime. Any time we turn our attention to the irrational experience of accessing our creativity\, we open ourselves to this soul-searching project. But a blank canvas or empty page can sometimes create an anxiety that makes it difficult to hear our quiet inner voice. Come learn how the process of creating “blackout poetry” – where words are removed from a page of printed literature\, with the remaining words carrying a completely new and unexpected meaning – can be an accessible route to connect with our inherent wisdom. Experience how easy this 10-minute practice can be\, get a taste for the the powerful of effect incorporating this practice into everyday life\, and leave with your own beautiful and illuminating work.

SUMMARY:Architecture Walk: Woodland Heights
DESCRIPTION:The William A. Wilson Realty Co. began developing Woodland Heights in 1907 on 136 acres of land that was once part of John Austin’s Mexican land grant. The neighborhood was one of Houston’s first “streetcar suburbs” — a streetcar line ran from downtown along Houston Avenue to just outside the Woodland Heights gates\, enabling working-class Houstonians to live in a lovely wooded setting and easily commute to their jobs.\nOur 90-minute docent-guided tour covers several early 20th century architectural styles found in the neighborhood\, including the foursquare\, cottage and bungalow\, and highlights the live oak trees Wilson planted in 1907\, which have matured into lush canopies over Woodland Heights’ streets.

SUMMARY:Searching for Belonging: Being Jewish and Latina/o/x in Postwar America
DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores the histories and experiences of Latin American Jewish immigrants in the United States. Comparing two cities—Miami and Houston—Dr. Mark Goldberg will examine what it has meant to belong to two ethnic communities as immigrants in the late 20th century. In both places\, Jewish Latina/o/xs built tight-knit\, vibrant communities where they could embrace both their Jewish and Latin American heritage. Together\, these stories enrich our understanding of Jewish\, Latinx\, and American history.\nThis event is free and open to the public\, but registration is required.\nHolocaust Museum Houston would like to thank our Partner Sponsors\, Amigos Meat Distributors\, LP\, and Bank of Texas for generously supporting our Latinx Heritage Month programs.

SUMMARY:Shakespeare in Italy
DESCRIPTION:As far as we know\, William Shakespeare never traveled to Italy. But the culture of Italy fascinated him. The dramatic action for one-third of all his plays takes place within an Italian setting\, either ancient or contemporary.\nFrom the lovelorn and feud-vexed streets of Romeo and Juliet’s Verona and the ancient Roman forum in which Julius Caesar was assassinated\, to the frothy mix of sex\, money\, and intrigue of Shylock and Othello’s Venice\, Shakespeare’s fascination with Italy inspired his work as a playwright. His Italian settings are so crucial to his plots that the locations themselves seem to have become characters in their own right. We ourselves will take inspiration from Shakespeare’s fascination with Italy\, at that time the acknowledged cultural center of the western world. By studying his plays\, we can expand our own horizons and our own perspectives\, while learning about the context within which their action occurs. Italy beats at the heart of Shakespeare’s poetic and dramatic imagination.\nIn this course\, we will read and discuss several of these Italian plays\, watch clips from film adaptations of these plays to see modern variations on the action\, and conclude with a close reading of Shakespeare’s finest play of all\, The Tempest—which is set on an unknown island in the Mediterranean where some Machiavellian Italians from Milan and Naples are stranded along with Prospero\, who is the most accomplished of all the characters who people the world (or Globe!) created by Shakespeare’s plays.\nSchedule\nMonday\, September 23\, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.\nMonday\, September 30\, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.\nMonday\, October 7\, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.\nMonday\, October 14\, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.\nTickets\n$125 ICCC Members | $150 General Admission\nMeet Your Instructor\nDr. Dustin Gish is a Professor of Humanities and Political Philosophy in the Honors College at the University of Houston\, where he has taught courses in political theory\, philosophy\, and literature since 2014. He received his interdisciplinary Ph.D. from the Institute of Philosophic Studies at the University of Dallas\, and his M.A. in Liberal Education from St. John’s College (SF).\nFor a decade\, Dr. Gish lived in Rome\, Italy\, and taught courses there at two American universities focused on ancient Roman civilization as well as on the art\, history\, and philosophy of the Italian Renaissance. He has published extensively on the plays of Shakespeare\, Thomas Jefferson and the American Founding\, Xenophon’s Socrates\, and the visual rhetoric of Italian civic republicanism.

SUMMARY:AEP6 Arts Advocacy Briefing with Randy Cohen
DESCRIPTION:HAA is the local partner for the Arts and Economic Prosperity 6 study from Americans for the Arts. Houston and Harris County data shows that the arts are a net income generator for the City of Houston. The arts help pay the city’s bills generating $31\,839\,097 in tax revenue for the city and employing 19\,552 individuals in the City of Houston.\nWith recent rhetoric opposing support for the arts community\, it’s more important than ever to brush up on our advocacy skills.\nThis free\, special briefing – only for the arts sector and generously hosted by the Hobby Center – features the original architect of this multi-decade study\, Randy Cohen.\nRSVP to reserve your spot!\nParking and Schedule\nPlease feel free to park in the Hobby Center Garage located on Walker Street. Your parking will be validated at the check-in for the event. Walk up the breezeway past the Lexus cars and turn right to enter the lobby and head to Founders Club on the mezzanine level. The Hobby Center will have staff inside to help guide you. The presentation begins at 6:00pm\, and the venue will be open starting at 5:00pm for guests to arrive. Presentation will last approximately 90 minutes.\nAbout the Speaker\nRandy Cohen is Vice President of Research at Americans for the Arts—the national advocacy organization for the arts—where he has been empowering arts advocates since 1991. Cohen is known for balancing rigorous research methods with accessible and actionable results. His work at Americans for the Arts has provided new perspectives on the nonprofit arts. He recently published Arts & Economic Prosperity 6: The Economic Impact of Nonprofit Arts & Culture Organizations and their Audiences and Americans Speak Out About the Arts in 2023\, a national public opinion study about the arts. Randy led the development of The National Arts Index\, the annual measure of the health and vitality of arts in the U.S.\, and the National Arts Policy Roundtable\, an annual convening of leaders who focus on the advancement of American culture—launched in partnership with Robert Redford and the Sundance Institute. In the 1990’s\, Randy collaborated with the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities to create Coming Up Taller\, the White House report on arts programs for youth-at-risk; and the U.S. Department of Justice to produce the YouthARTS Project\, the first national study to statistically document the impact of arts programs on at-risk youth. He is the 2024 recipient of the Sidney Yates Advocacy Award for outstanding advocacy on behalf of the performing arts in America. His 10 Reasons to Support the Arts blog received the Gold Award from the Association of Media & Publishing—their top honor for best blog post of the year. A sought-after speaker\, Randy has given speeches in all 50 states\, and regularly appears in the news media—including the Wall Street Journal\, The New York Times\, and on C-SPAN\, CNN\, CNBC\, and NPR.\nRandy has been a policy specialist for the National Endowment for the Arts\, founded the San Diego Theatre for Young Audiences\, and worked in medical research for Stanford University and Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation. His board work includes the League of Historic American Theaters. Randy is a past Chair of the Takoma Park Arts & Humanities Commission\, during which time the Commission completed a cultural plan\, established the city’s Poet Laureate and public art programs\, and led the development of a million-dollar conversion of the city council chambers into a performing arts space.

SUMMARY:James: A Book Group (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Uncover the remnants of a forgotten\, hidden time\, and discuss how these remnants linger and influence the present. Can re-imagining the past change how we experience our present? In his latest novel James\, Percival Everett – author\, educator\, and presenter at The Jung Center’s upcoming spring benefit – takes an imaginal step back into the world of Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. As Everett walks back around this classic work of American literature\, we journey into a world that Twain’s innocent and optimistic protagonist could not have imagined. While both are runaways\, James – called “Jim” by Huck Finn – flees a life of slavery. Following James’ path\, Everett explores universal human experiences and invites us to reflect on how we’ve lived through or come into contact with these experiences ourselves: How and why do we change the ways we express ourselves to others\, and what happens when we do so because our survival is at stake? How might the deep meaning of a story change if our perspective changes? What happens when we hear a story that fundamentally alters the sense we’ve made of our world?
