"The Winter's Tale," S at W, Summer 1981
by Mike Godwin 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

I've come across cassette tapes of a performance of "The Winter's Tale" in Summer 1981 -- Rather than risk playing 30-year-old cassettes, I'm having them digitized to CDs. This means that anyone who wants a copy could probably persuade me (or Clayton Stromberger, who is getting a copy for the archives) to make one for him or her. Any interest here? --Mike

Shakespeare, Politics and Shylock
by Robert Stevens 21 Mar '11

21 Mar '11

I'm really proud to be part of this project: Bob Tolaro and Jill Blackwood are already knocking the courtroom scene out of the ballpark, and we're not done rehearsing yet. Besides some great scenes from Merchant we will hear from some great speakers, two of whom I've had the pleasure of working with in the past, who will not only share their knowledge with us, but lead discussion on the topic. And all of this will help Austin Shakespeare in it's quest to keep bringing you Shakespeare and other classical theater, including our upcoming production of Love's Labours Lost in Zilker Park in May (for free). Come see Austin Shakespeare's upcoming political forum: "Shakespeare, Politics and Shylock" on Thursday, March 24 at 8 pm at the Jewish Community Center of Austin or Saturday, March 26 at 8 pm at The Curtain Theatre. The evening will include scenes from The Merchant of Venice and discussions led by: UT professor, Dr. Elizabeth Richmond-Garza, Dr. Yaron Brook, Ayn Rand Institute, and (on Thursday only) Dr. James Loehlin, Shakespeare at Winedale Regents Professor. Robert Tolaro as “Shylock”, Jill Blackwood as “Portia”, Rommel Sulit as "Antonio", David Boss as "Bassanio", Robert Stevens as "The Duke", Steve Cruz in Multiple Roles. Additional tickets are available at: (512) 474-8497 or http://www.nowplayingaustin.com/event/detail/441130052/Shakespeare_Politics… .

I'm standing with Planned Parenthood
by Craig Hurwitz 06 Mar '11

06 Mar '11

Did you hear? The House voted to bar Planned Parenthood from federal funding. They cut funding for HIV tests, cancer screenings, birth control, and more, putting millions of women and families at risk. We can't let it go unanswered. It's time for you and me to stand with Planned Parenthood. Sign the open letter to the reps who voted for this bill -- and to the senators who still have a chance to stop it. http://www.istandwithplannedparenthood.org/ To take action on this issue, click on the link below: http://www.ppaction.org/site/Advocacy?s_oo=rYaUSotw0Vegd94q1Kekig..&id=…<http://www.ppaction.org/site/Advocacy?s_oo=rYaUSotw0Vegd94q1Kekig..&id=12586> If the text above does not appear as a link or it wraps across multiple lines, then copy and paste it into the address area of your browser.

Camp Shakespeare '11
by James Ayres 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Happy New Year to all! We are underway with the planning of Camp Shakespeare '11! We have a new Camp site and new cooks and more than a few new ideas and are looking forward to applications from kids 10-16. I am sending you the Camp Shakespeare '11 information in the attachment both for your own enlightenment and to pass on to parents and kids you think might be interested in applying. I am also asking you to consider sending a contribution to Camp Shakespeare for operational expenses and scholarships. Last year, the pool of former Shakespeare at Winedale students sent in some $10,000+. That is our goal again this year. I am hoping that you will participate in this Camp Shakespeare effort. If you choose to do so, please send your check in any amount to me: Doc Ayres, Camp Shakespeare, P.O. Box 202, Round Top, Tx, 78954. Please address the check "to" The University of Texas and mark it "for" Camp Shakespeare. Thanks and best wishes to all. Doc

Mikebration? since he's moved on from his role at WMF. He's totally down for having a bit of a shindig, and all insanity aside, we've settled on Friday, November 19, after work, and yes - in Oakland. It has to be Oakland. It's partly tradition, and it's partly just where awesome things happen. I'm not going to sell Oakland, just take my word for it.

So I'm asking each of you to reach out organically through your teams and invite cool folks to come along as well (you all represent tech, community, $, etc. . Even if you can't make it, just let folks know. Mike was here about 3 years exactly, so everyone knows him. It's probably clear who you might not want to include (under the circumstances) and frankly, there's 0% chance those people would want to go anyway.

Re: [Winedale-l] Winedale-l Digest, Vol 9, Issue 8
by Caryl Gorska 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Hello from your silent alumna from 1980; Having missed the big reunion this summer and aslo having met the fascinating and personable David Ziegler through Mike (Godwin), and even enjoyed his hospitality and delicious food in is way cool Oakland digs, I am very sad to say I won't be able to be there and enjoy the festivities (rum punch -- yeah). In fact it sucks. Maybe we can do it again later, chez moi, in Cupertino? I have a good excuse -- I will be in India, celebrating my fifth wedding anniversary on the beaches of Goa. Meantime i want to report that I'm still maintaining my ties to Shakespeare in my own odd fashion. First, for my birthday, me and hubby and dear Indian friends attended the Sf Free Shakespeare in the Park performance of Two Gentlemen of Verona, in August. They come to the park next door to our house every year at this time, and are really awesome. I used to watch them every September in Golden Gate Park, and their performances are always inventive, yet faithful. This production was done in a 60's London Mod mode, with carefully (and brilliantly) selected tunes by Marianne Faithful etc. played by the characters to start or end scenes. We had the young first-generation American son of our friends with us, who is a high-school thespian who's already familiar with the Bard and laughed louder than anyone else at the jokes. It was so rewarding to see how he got it, and how a new generation continues the love. Secondly, last night my husband and I watched a Hindi movie adaptation of Othello (still my all-time favorite), Omkara (it's on NetFlix, check it out). The director did a brilliant job of integrating the story in modern-day yet traditional Rajasthani culture, shot on location in the dusty Thar desert. I had forgotten that Othello had actually kidnapped Desdemona (tho only a nominal kidnapping since she was so willing), but this feature of the story was emphasized because in traditional Indian culture there's often a ritual kidnapping, even when the bride is willing; the parents have to accept, based on the young lovers' desire, and the blessing of the village elders. Knowing a little bit about Indian culture now, I have to say that the story of Othello translated perfectly -- proving once again the universalities of Shakespeare's themes, across time and culture. While I'm on the subject, I also have to recommend a most beautiful Hindi movie from the sixties calles Shakespeare-Wallah, in black-and-white, an early film by Merchant/Ivory. It's about an English family of Shakespearean actors in India, with a teenage daughter who's never seen England, who travel the countryside of India performing Shakespeare (other roles filled by Indian actors). Their business is waning, as the Maharajas who invite them to perform at court are in decline. It's a naturalistic family drama played out in beautiful but decaying locales, and the parents are dedicated artists who realize their careers and audience are ending. It;s haunting, lovely, and demonstrates the vocation of actors to their art, and Shakespeare. Doc, if you're reading, I was a terribe Winedalian, but know that the experience transformed me and has informed my life ever since. I am a sometime afficianado, but when I'm in the zone, the most ardent advocate. I have introduced Shakespeare to a real motley crew of novices, who easily became fans. I had the pleasure of visiting the new Globe theater in London a few years back, and got to see what the scene was when the plays were performed for Londoners, high and low, at the time. Was horrified (!) to discover that ladies peed in their dresses on the ground during performances (too much ale and not enough ladies rooms -- well actually, i think, NO ladies rooms), and that courtesans (the polite term) conducted their business in the upper balconies throughout the performance. But Thank God for the hoi polloi, or else we wouldn't have all that comic relief from the servants, even in the tragedies. I just LOVE the fact that even today, my young Indian-American friend got all the jokes AND appreciated the language, however foreign to his everyday life. And though I consider my experience at Winedale a failure, it was a failure I learned from in so many ways.
