| Here are the classes that it
has been my privilege
and happiness to teach, as a part of the Aesthetic Realism Foundation
faculty,
together with my colleagues. |
 ACTING
AESTHETIC REALISM AND
ACTING
Anne Fielding
The basis of this course is in these
sentences by
Eli Siegel: "According to Aesthetic Realism, acting shows that you
don't
have to be fettered to yourself. You can be other people ....
Acting
is a certain way of taking the contraries of the world. It is a
way
of being somebody else for the purpose of coming back home
immediately.
You take a trip in order to find out who you are." Students
prepare
scenes, take part in improvisations, and present papers in relation to
Eli Siegel's "Is Beauty the Making One of Opposites?" and "Aesthetic
Realism
As Beauty: Acting."
MARRIAGE
AESTHETIC REALISM AND
MARRIAGE
There Are Wives: Barbara Allen, Anne
Fielding,
Pauline Meglino
Through studying the opposites of contempt
and respect
in the history of marriage and in their own lives including yesterday's
incident at the breakfast table — wives learn how to use marriage and a
husband to like the world. We are grateful to present what we
learned
in Aesthetic Realism lessons with Eli Siegel. Some subjects: In
Marriage
— How Does Adoration Change to Contempt?; Can Sex Be a Source of Pride
in Marriage?; Disagreement in Marriage — When Is It Good?
First Saturday each
month, 11:00
AM - 12:30 PM (continuous)
MUSIC
THE OPPOSITES IN MUSIC
Barbara
Allen, Anne Fielding,
Edward Green
This class is based on the Aesthetic
Realism principle
"Art is that which, through an individual, shows the oneness of the
permanent
opposites in reality." We study instances of music, from Bach's
"Magnificat"
to Duke Ellington's "The Mooche," in relation to Eli Siegel's
"Aesthetic
Realism As Beauty: Music," and Martha
Baird's "Music Is Real."
Alternate Sundays, 4:00 - 5:30 PM
