Mitchell and Herman Wouk Chair in Modern Jewish Studies and professor of history Deborah Hertz invite you to join the UC San Diego Library Author Talk Series and Holocaust Living History Workshop for a virtual discussion featuring Pulitzer Prize-winning artist, illustrator and author of “Maus”, Art Spiegelman. The discussion will be moderated by Dean of the School of Arts and Humanities Cristina Della Coletta. Registration is open and required. About the Author Art Spiegelman almost single-handedly brought comic books out of the toy closet and onto the literature shelves. In 1992, he won the Pulitzer Prize for his masterful Holocaust narrative “Maus” which portrayed Jews as mice and Nazis as cats. “Maus II” continued the remarkable story of his parents’ survival of the Nazi regime and their lives later in America. Spiegelman’s many distinguished honors include the Angoulême International Comics Festival Best Foreign Album Award, the Eisner Award, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Fiction, the Edward MacDowell Medal, and the honorary National Book Award for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. He was made an Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in France and — the American equivalent — played himself on an episode of “The Simpsons”. Named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People and an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Spiegelman continues to feature prominently in American cultural life.

Looking for a unique way to bolster your creativity and infuse your writing projects with new energy? Using images as inspiration can help fire up those juices, often leading you in unexpected directions. Working with personally selected visuals can be a fascinating entry point for unlocking and accessing ideas, and can help bring forth your most authentic voice. Join Kimberly Lee for four delicious weeks of writing with SoulCollage®, an expressive arts method requiring no “artistic ability,” just the willingness to try something new. Participants will be directed through the calming process of making a SoulCollage® card each week, and then we’ll use these creations as the basis for responding to imaginative writing prompts. With attention to character development, point of view, setting, plot, dialogue, tension and obstacles, plus mood and color, we’ll explore how the practice of SoulCollage® can be an uplifting muse, a gentle guide on the writing path, no matter what our goals may be. Whether you’re a fiction writer or memoirist, you’ll find this process inspirational and will leave with many takeaways for your writing journey. By the end, you may have the beginnings of a short piece or a number of concrete elements that can be adapted for a longer project. This series will be conducted according to the Amherst Writers and Artists method, founded by Pat Schneider. Participants will have the choice to share their work and receive feedback as to what was strong and resonant in their freshly-written words. We’ll create a safe environment for play and exploration, the foundation of creativity. Stay Connected with SoulCollage®! Facebook | Instagram | X

The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep presents the trivial comedy for serious people, "The Importance of Being Earnest" as its next student production! This masterpiece by Oscar Wilde is probably the most famous of all comedies. It revolves ridiculously around the most ingenious case of “manufactured” mistaken identity ever put into a play. Director Benjamin Cole is proud to present this pinnacle of playful parodies of the “leisure class” in the Victorian era. “The comedy of manners style is so clearly articulated in the back-and-forth banter,” Cole expounds. “We’re gleefully challenging our talented students with precision of physicality and vocal delivery,” he insists. Assistant Director Steve Smith adds, “We've kicked off most rehearsals with lessons on "Received Pronunciation," the most standard form of British dialect. Witty Wildean wordplay wouldn't sound right without the proper accents and our cast has had a great time learning and implementing new vocal techniques!” The show runs a daring 100 minutes with one intermission and hopes to tickle audience’s ears with comic charm and charisma. Additional production staff includes Student Assistant Stage Manager, Basil FitzGerald; Sound Designer, Caleb Foley; Student Assistant Director, Kate Goodman; Stage Manager, Paul Smith; and Lighting and Projections Designer, Liam Sullivan.
