Performance
“Love Letters”: the play by A.R. Gurney
Dorothy Emmerson,
Fred Dennehy
Nominated
for a Pulitzer Prize, this play centers on just two characters. Using the
epistolary form used in some novels, they sit side by side at tables and read
the notes, letters and cards in which they discuss their hopes and ambitions,
dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats that have passed between them
in separated lives over almost fifty years. Dorothy
Emmerson is a long-time professional actress in regional theater, at
Lincoln Center, and off and on Broadway with Maureen
Stapelton,
Jerry Orbach and Dustin Hoffman. She has taught the Michael Chekhov acting
technique in many cities and also uses it in teaching voice.
Fred Dennehy practices law, earned a PhD in
English, is co-leader in NYC for the monthly esoteric lessons of Rudolf
Steiner’s School of Spiritual Science. In recent years he has performed in
Shakespeare’s Richard II, Henry IV Part 1, Julius Caesar, Othello, and
The Tempest.$20/$15 Non-Members, $15/$10 NY Branch Members; or 1 frequency discount ticket; lower fee for seniors (65+), full-time students & active Waldorf teachers

David Anderson
This
month, the Greeks emancipated themselves from the oriental dream world.
Philosophy and a new type of thinking are born in them. Our culture looks to
Greece as to a “brave new world,” fresh and ideal, where living forces of the
oriental imagination still gave the quality of direct “being” to its cultural
products. But this imagination became much more a creation of the individual
human in Greece. The Greek Gods were beings who had incarnated in Atlantis but
who were not human. The Luciferic and unreal representational nature of these
Upper Gods can be contrasted to the Chthonic Lower Gods and their penetration
into the will nature of reality. Schopenhauer’s World as Will and
Representation describes these two realms in detail. The Divine was becoming
human. [Image: Athena being born, fully armed, from the head of Zeus, from a
6th century BCE vase.]David Anderson
has taught drawing and Wagner painting at Rudolf Steiner School in NYC and around the world. He holds an MA in Art and certificates from Emerson College (Waldorf education), and the Wagner School at the Goetheanum (teaching painting).
