Daniel Defoe’s 1719 novel was an immediate hit and continues to intrigue us three hundred years later. The book provided Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels talking points for economic theory; it served as inspiration for the enslaved Harriet Jacobs and for Holocaust survivor Imre Kertesz; and it spawned many “sequels,” from Defoe’s own Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe to the television show Gilligan’s Island and the Tom Hanks film Cast Away. The myth of Crusoe has also received strong post-colonial critique in light of the relationship between the title character and “his man Friday.” Some find it a harmful book in this regard and have called for its boycott. In this class we will consider the various aspects that make the tale one of the most enduring and problematic narratives in the English language.

A hands-on movement and manual techniques class with a short lecture. Lisa will show you how to flirt with your feet! Performed often and over time, the simple but profound movements and techniques you'll learn may improve not only the health of your feet but also the entire line of fascia that extends from the foot upward and over your head. In the class, plan to remove your shoes and work directly with the fascia of your feet. During the short lecture, we'll talk about walking and the foot's role in motion, trends in barefoot movement and wearing minimalist shoes, and how a greater connection to your feet may improve your balance.

This writing course is structured as an Action Class… well, as much action as a writing class can be. The instructor plans to solicit one or two students to serve as project guinea pigs. Guided by the instructor, the class will actively begin the process of turning the selected students' source material into memoirs. Each session will begin by sharing samples—written examples, and potentially a short video or two—from prominent memoirists or other relevant sources. Attendees will share selected portions of their writing for discussion and analysis. Homework will be assigned. The class will then move into the active process of turning the two chosen diaries or journals into memoirs. This process will incorporate advice from the instructor, the authors, and the entire class, thereby providing students with practical pathways toward doing the same with their own source material. There may or may not be lollipops.
