During the course of the day we will use plays and screenplays to explore interpersonal relationships and consider what the fictional characters have in common with your own real life situations. Students will use movement, vocal work, approaches to character development and role-play as we move back and forth between fiction and fact. This fun workshop builds perspective, confidence and grace but it also has a serious side as we look at everyday roles, individual parts and power structures in which we perform our self in everyday life

  • WKS 336A: Interpreting Apocalyptic Prophecy

    1.00 Credits
    Antioch University-Midwest (Closed)

    This is a one day workshop designed to enable participants to develop their understanding and interpretation of the literary form of biblical prophesy, with a focus on the apocalyptic literary form. Participants will learn that the biblical prophets were men grounded in fidelity to the covenant which they perceived as binding the Hebrew people to the will of God. The work of the prophets dealt with God's involvement in the life of the chosen people, their response to God's "will," God's "laws," and their hopes and fears concerning both their present and their future. According to the New Testament, John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth took up the prophetic role with the words," Repent, the Kingdom of God is at hand!" When the Roman Empire began to persecute followers of Jesus of Nazareth, they began to perceive Jesus in apocalyptic terms. The writing of the Book of Revelation was one result of those persecutions.
