Autumn with Austen
Autumn with Austen
Thursday, Sept. 26: Persuasion with Dr. Andrea Gazzaniga
Enjoy a classroom-style discussion of Persuasion with Northern Kentucky University’s Dr. Andrea Gazzaniga.
Dr. Gazzaniga goes on to say that she thinks we’re drawn to Austen “because, despite being set in a seemingly remote time period in a world far removed from our own, we can see a correlation between her characters and the people we know in our own lives. We all know a Mr. Collins, an Elizabeth Bennett, a Mr. Elton, or an Emma Woodhouse.”
Tuesday, Oct. 29: Kentucky Shakespeare Dance Workshop
Learn and perform the popular social dances of the past including Pavane, Gathering Peascods and more.
Thursday, Nov. 14: Tea Party and Film
A tea party and modern movie adaptation will close out the series.
