“Awake, arise or be for ever fall’n”: Encounter Milton’s Epic Vision in Paradise Lost
Over eight two-and-a-half-hour sessions, we will traverse all twelve books of Paradise Lost, tracing Milton’s visions of angels in revolt, serpentine deceits, and humankind on the brink of catastrophe.
Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure
Explore the moral complexity, political intrigue and dark humour of William Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure over 8 online sessions. Often called a ‘problem play’, it resists easy categorisation: not a traditional comedy or tragedy, it confronts audiences with the messy realities of justice, sexual morality, corruption and the abuse of power.
Still I Rise: An Arts-for-Wellness In-Person Workshop
Lift your spirits and spark your creativity in this 2-hour in-person workshop celebrating Maya Angelou’s transformative poem, Still I Rise. Through reflection, lively discussion, and a hands-on art activity, you’ll explore themes of strength, resilience, and empowerment.
Broken is Beautiful
Celebrate the radiant imperfections that make us human in this immersive poetry and therapeutic arts workshop, inspired by the vivid writing of Dorianne Laux. Explore creative expression through a kintsugi-inspired hands-on project that honours resilience.
Shakespeare’s Sonnets – A Slow Read #13
Through close analysis and hands-on interpretive work, we will examine Shakespeare’s kaleidoscopic exploration of his speaker’s romantic and tortured feelings and experiences—and whether or not these are the key to understanding the mysterious life of Shakespeare.
The Poetics of Failure: How art rewrites meaning
How does art help us rewrite meaning in the face of fear and profound disappointment? This standalone second lecture in The Case for Unhappiness lecture series examines failure as a defining artistic question of the twentieth century, exploring how it becomes a lens for imagining possible futures when conventional notions of success have lost their force.
