It’s Springtime – and we are meeting out in nature! Join us at Riverview Park for a very casual, relaxing, riverside stroll along the Rivanna. Or if you’d rather just sit comfortably by the picnic tables, feel free to bring a comfy chair and sunhat. The choice is yours! We’ll be wearing comfy walking shoes and outdoor shorts, and we’ll be breathing in the beauty of being outside with friends. You are welcome to bring your dog, too! OLLI will provide the snacks, and you bring your water-bottle. Riverview Park is located at the end of Chesapeake Street at the eastern city limits and consists of 26.6 acres bordering the river. With a large, paved parking area, kiosk, playground, benches and an open field, this park is ideal for a social gathering.

Description: 

As a citizen of the Renaissance Shakespeare copies Aristotle in the belief that humans fulfill their potential only within a civilized society. With this, human error often results from an excess in either eros—the sensual appetites—or thumos, the noble anger that manifests as arrogance. Within this worldview, Shakespeare likes to remind us that age and wisdom are often not the best of friends. We will examine this idea with three older characters: Sir John Falstaff (from Henry IV Parts One and Two), King Lear, and Prospero (from The Tempest). Though reading the plays will enhance understanding and discussion, it is not required, as the instructor will provide thorough background and many excerpts during class time.
