Indelible – The Photographs of Lalla Essaydi
| October 10, 2008 | ||
| 9:00 am |
October 10, 2008-January 25, 2009
Frist Center for the Visual Arts
Through her thought-provoking photographs, Moroccan-born artist Lalla
Essaydi confronts the issues of confinement and repression experienced
by many women in Islamic societies. The women depicted in her images,
many of whom are family members dressed in traditional attire, are covered with calligraphic writing. These words break the expected silence, telling stories that speak of Essaydi’s thoughts and experiences, caught between the east and the west, the past and the present.

About Adventure Works
Our programs are fun, but they’re more than just games. We create processes that are designed to mirror relevant issues facing your organization and then tie the emerging learning back to the real workplace. We won’t just talk about teamwork; we’ll give you an opportunity to live it, to practice it, and to learn what it means for you. Our programs are designed for people of all ability and professional levels. Great respect is always given to honoring individual choice in participation. We find that, in a supportive environment, people will rise to a given challenge and often go beyond what they initially thought possible. The result is not only a memorable experience, but also a heightened awareness of what’s possible when people truly pull together to work toward common goals.
Registration
Cost is $25 . To pay by credit card, call (615) 297-2250. To pay by cash you may simply arrive at your desired time! If a time slot fills up, you may be asked to wait for the next available time.
The Shining @ the Belcourt – Free
| November 2, 2008 | ||
| 12:00 pm |
We’ve got another great horror classic for you on Sunday, November 2, at noon: Stanley Kubrick’s film of Stephen King’s The_Shining. Claire King is our faculty facilitator.
One of the scariest films ever made, it is said that Robin Williams and Robert de Niro were among those considered for the Jack Torrance role, but that Jack Nicholson was Kubrick’s first choice. Nicholson would make this one of his most iconic performances as well as perhaps his most quoted. As a writer whose wife (Shelly Duvall) and son (Danny Lloyd) accompany him on a seasonal stint as a caretaker for the Overlook Hotel, a character in its own right, the isolation experienced by the family undergoes a slow collision with the spirits of the hotel. With Scatman Crothers! 1980, color, 35mm, 146min.
