Enough labor for one human life.” —Czeslaw Milosz \nWith Milosz’s immortal wisdom as our lodestar\, we will take a tour through autobiographical poems ancient and modern\, studying the ways personal poems capture self and other\, place and purpose\, sound and sense\, framing the self as both mirror and window\, at once magnificent and minute. \nTodd Robinson affectionately known to acolytes as “Toddfather\,” is a poet and educator based in Omaha. He is the author of Mass for Shut-Ins (Backwaters Press\, 2018) and Note at Heart Rock (Main Street Rag Publishing\, 2012).

SUMMARY:Momotaro: The Peach Boy of Japan - performance and cultural activities
DESCRIPTION:Prior to performances of “Momotaro: The Peach Boy of Japan”\, there will be a festival of games and cultural activities for families and a presentation on Japanese settlers in Nebraska by Vickie Sakurada Schaepler. \nThe games and cultural activities will be at 6pm on Nov. 22 and 1 p.m. Nov. 23 at the Omaha Jewish Community Center (JCC) – Eisenberg Gallery. \nThe presentation by Vickie Sakurada Schaepler will be in the Omaha Jewish Community Center (JCC) – Alan J. Levine Theater before the performances of “Momotaro” on Nov. 22 at 7 p.m. and Nov. 23 at 2 p.m. \nTickets are $20 in advance\, $24 at the door. For more information\, or to buy tickets\, visit https://circletheatreomaha.org/mainstage-season/ . \nMomotaro is a beloved Japanese folktale about a boy who is miraculously born from a giant peach. An elderly\, childless couple discovers the peach floating down the river\, and when they try to eat it\, it splits open to reveal a baby boy inside. They name him Momotaro\, meaning “Peach Boy\,” and raise him as their own.  As he grows up\, Momotaro becomes strong and brave. When he learns about a band of ogres who are terrorizing nearby villages\, he sets out on a journey to defeat them. Along the way\, he befriends a dog\, a monkey\, and a pheasant by offering them delicious millet dumplings and they join him on his quest.  Together\, they travel to Oni Island\, work as a team to outsmart and defeat the ogres\, and return home victorious\, bringing back treasure and peace to the land.  The story is narrated in the traditional clown style by beloved Japanese figures\, with iconic tricksters bringing chaos and cleverness along the way.

Renowned art historian Caroline Bruzelius\, a leading voice in Gothic architecture and consultant to the cathedral’s reconstruction\, goes behind the scaffolding and beneath the stones of Paris’s most iconic monument to explore discoveries made possible only by the fire and its aftermath. Bruzelius reveals how catastrophe opened a window into the secrets of the Middle Ages. \nThis event\, hosted by the UNO Medieval and Renaissance Studies Program in Bootstrapper Hall of the Thompson Alumni Center\, is free and open to the public\, with free parking available with registration. Click here to register. \nEvent sponsored by UNO History Department\, Art & Art History\, & the College of Arts & Sciences. \nCaroline Bruzelius is the Anne M. Cogan Professor of Art\, Art History\, and Visual Studies at Duke University. She is a member of the American Philosophical Society\, The American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries\, London\, and the Medieval Academy of America. Her field of research is Gothic architecture\, urbanism and medieval sculpture in France and Italy.

SUMMARY:Art & Literary Festival Celebrating the Harlem Renaissance: Dramatic Readings
DESCRIPTION:The Joslyn Castle & Gardens and Metropolitan Community College are partnering once again for the Art & Literary Festival. This year will be a celebration and exploration of one of the most electrifying and influential moments in American history\, the Harlem Renaissance. In the 1920’s\, in African American communities in New York City and in cities throughout the North and Midwest\, creative and intellectual life thrived. \nThe main event of the festival is the production of an anthology of dramatized short stories\, essays\, and poems entitled Voices from the Harlem Renaissance\, adapted by Scott Working and directed by TammyRa’. The evening will include selections by Langston Hughes\, Claude McKay\, Gwendolyn Bennett\, Helene Johnson\, Angela Weld Grimke\, and Zora Neale Hurston. \nJoslyn Castle will host a public art show with works inspired by the movement. Free lectures on the art and literature of the Harlem Renaissance\, as well as Omaha’s role in it\, will be offered before each performance. The Great Plains Black History Museum has generously loaned the Joslyn Castle an exhibit on the history of the Dreamland Ballroom\, which will be on display in the Castle Library during the festival. \nTo purchase tickets and for more information\, visit the festival website: https://www.joslyncastle.com/event/art-literary-festival-the-harlem-renaissance/ \nFestival Schedule \nFriday\,  Nov 14 \nPeggy Jones: Art History Lecture\, 6pm-7pm\, Free \nDramatic Readings\, doors at 7pm\, Production at 7:30pm\, $22 \nSaturday\, Nov 15 \nPublic reading of two original one-act plays by local playwrights Kim Louise and Peggy Jones\, 2pm\, Free \nEric Ewing: Our Role in the Harlem Renaissance – separate ticket required\n6pm – 7pm\, Free \nDramatic Readings\, Doors at 7pm\, Production at 7:30pm $22 \nSunday\, Nov 16 \nRamon Guerra: Literature of the Harlem Renaissance\, 6pm-7pm\, Free \nDramatic Readings\, Doors at 7pm\, Production at 7:30pm\, $22
