SUMMARY:An American and a Russian: Exploring the Other
DESCRIPTION:For decades\, Americans and Russians have encountered each other through politics\, propaganda\, and fear. But what happens when they encounter each other IRL? \n“An American and a Russian: Exploring the Other” brings together two storytellers—Bernadine\, an American\, and Sufian\, a Russian immigrant—to explore how they have imagined\, misunderstood\, and sometimes unexpectedly embraced the other. Join us for an evening of public history\, intimate remembrance\, and music. \nTeller Bios: \n \nAn academic by day\, Sufian Zhemukhov is an award-winning author and performer. His stories draw on his experience as a first-generation immigrant and college professor\, which might be funnier than you’d expect. \n \nBernadine Joselyn is the Minnesota-born descendant of white Protestant farmers and their settler forbearers. Imagination and longing led her from her childhood home in a first-ring Minneapolis suburb to New York City\, India\, the Soviet Union-later Russia\, and now\, rural Itasca County\, giving up civil society building for tree tending along the way. \n  \n\nTo register: \n\n\nAdd the number of tickets you want by clicking the ‘+’ button\nClick the ‘Get Tickets’ button\nNote- After purchase\, tickets & receipt may arrive in your ‘Junk Mail’ folder \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Beginnings & Endings- Online
DESCRIPTION:A story begins where the teller chooses to start but where is that? And how does that starting moment draw an audience into the world that is the story? While some believe any place we want to start will do\, the where it ends cannot be left up to happenstance\, failure of imagination or bad timing. \nThis is a Four-session hands-on workshop on arriving at satisfying openings and conclusions from the use of poetic imagery\, emotional\, philosophical elements to punch lines and morals — to service\, to the why behind the where and how of starting and ending our stories. \nOnline\, 4 sessions\, 7:00-8:30 pm\nThursdays\, October 8-29\nTaught by Loren Niemi \n\n\n\n\n\nTo register: \n\nAdd the number of tickets you want by clicking the ‘+’ button\nClick the ‘Get Tickets’ button\nNote- After purchase\, tickets & receipt may arrive in your ‘Junk Mail’ folder
