SUMMARY:Introduction to Teaching at OLLI at Southern Oregon University Course
DESCRIPTION:In April 2024\, OLLI will hold a course dedicated to learning more about teaching at OLLI. Participants do not need to be a member of OLLI to participate in the course. \nThe course is not required in order to teach at OLLI\, but it will provide a lot of information that will be helpful in creating your OLLI course and completing your first course proposal form. \nHave you ever wondered what it would be like to teach an OLLI course yourself? This three-session course is designed to answer that question and to help you prepare a course. We’ll talk about OLLI demographics and the OLLI learner. You’ll hear from experienced instructors about teaching online and in the classroom\, and the art of lecturing and leading discussions. Seasoned instructors will also help you with your own course design during the final session. This course will be led by the OLLI Curriculum Committee and will include some distinguished guests. Join us to see how your dedication to lifelong learning can include the creative endeavor of course design and teaching. Join us to learn how sharing your passion can bring joy to yourself and others. \nThe facilitators of this course are the co-chairs of the Curriculum Committee\, Ginny Blankinship and Anne Coleman. Support for teaching this course also comes from committee members who specialize in technology or a specific curriculum area. Many of these are also OLLI instructors who love sharing their skills\, knowledge and enthusiasm with OLLI members\, and who look forward to sharing their teaching experience as well.

SUMMARY:Duo Violão Brasil Plus One @ Grizzly Peak Winery
DESCRIPTION:Siskiyou Music Project welcomes for the first time in southern Oregon\, Duo Violão Brasil Plus One. This will be part of a residency partnership with Britt Education\, and the group will visit a number of schools while they’re in southern Oregon. The concert takes place at 7 p.m. Friday\, April 19 at Grizzly Peak Winery in Ashland. \nDuo Violão Brasil is the result of guitarists Rogério Souza and Edinho Gerber’s reverence for Brazilian guitar\, the “violão”\, and their desire to explore and expand the musical possibilities of putting two “violões” together. A master of both 6 and 7 string guitars\, Rogério Souza is one of the foremost representatives of the music of Rio de Janeiro. He is an award-winning composer and arranger who has worked with a veritable who’s who of Brazilian artists. Duo Violão is joined by pandeiro player and percussionist Ami Molinelli\, who records with Grupo Falso Baiano\, one of the leading American choro bands. With repertoire from composers like Pixinguinha\, Baden Powell\, and Tom Jobim\, they navigate effortlessly through the many styles of 20th century Brazilian popular music while showcasing original works and inventive arrangements.

SUMMARY:Turning down the heat: conversations across our ideological divides

The event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Waiting for the Kick- film with director Q&A
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Oregon Fringe Festival\, director Ilima Considine will be presenting her feature film musical\, Waiting for the Kick. \nOscar Wilde’s Salome is remade into a darkly comedic fever dream of a rock opera written and composed by the Ilima Considine of The Sexbots\, reset in an after hours club full of off-duty strippers\, bartenders\, and mountains of cocaine and John the Baptist is an autistic drug dealer. \nThis is a gay\, feminist retelling of Salome- retold not as a story of a man in power led astray by a teenage temptress\, but of a young girl caught in an impossible situation in a world where patriarchy forces women to objectify both themselves and others in order to survive. And yet\, in spite of everything\, young queer folk discover themselves and each other — irrepressible as dandelions growing out of a sidewalk. The 85-minute film will immediately be followed by a director Q&A.
