Classical Creations in Quarantine
August 30, 2020 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
The Dr. Greta McCormick Coger Literary Salon Series:
Inspired by our annual Southern Literary Salons, by our recent digital Decameron Project during the virus shut-down, and our generous long-time friend and scholar Dr. Greta Coger, we offer you a full slate of one-hour (or less) curated readings, scenes, speeches, and discussions that explore important authors and subjects close to home. Presented by TSC’s resident artists on our Owen and Margaret Wellford Tabor Stage, Greta’s Salon Series will engage you in an informal, comfortable, safe atmosphere on either our Tabor Stage or via our digital, paid simulcast.
“Take Upon’s the Mystery of Things”:
Classical Creations in Quarantine
curated by Dan McCleary
Sunday, August 30 at 3:00 pm
NO IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE * DIGITAL OPTION ONLY
We are not the first humans to suffer death, quarantines, and loss of work and wealth due to a health pandemic. However, one occupation always faces the dangerous unknown: the Creative. What can we learn from them in our own time of social distancing and restricted gatherings? Join us on-line for an intrepid exploration of famous creations by artists while enduring multiple forms of isolation, including Cervantes, Galileo, Thoreau, Beethoven, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Frida Kahlo, Boccaccio, Vaclav Havel, Frederick Douglass, Allen Ginsberg, and Shakespeare. Featuring Michael Khanlarian, Carmen-maria Mandley, Dan McCleary, Stephanie Shine, and Darius Wallace.
