Dear Brookdale Friends and Neighbors,

Lifelong Learning at Brookdale serves an impressive Monmouth County population – one that is growing older…and wiser!

Did you know that nearly 40% of our population is over age 50? Monmouth County is 4th of the 21 counties in New Jersey in this age category.

More than 40% of our residents over 45 have earned a bachelor’s degree, or beyond. Research suggests that the more education a person has in their past, the more likely they are to pursue education in their future. So it’s no wonder Lifelong Learning serves an education-hungry population!

Feed that appetite for learning and indulge yourself this New Year.

• Learn something new

• Go someplace new

• Taste something new

• Make something new

Wishing you a smart New Year,

Marie Lucier-Woodruff, Dean

8 Come To Campus

COME TO CAMPUS: SPRING SCHOLARS

Bid farewell to winter with a spa for your head! Connect with others seeking intelligent entertainment. One price, two days of learning and campus camaraderie. Lunch is included.

TUESDAY, MARCH 17

Let’s Hear It For The Irish; 10 am-noon Dillies Pilevsky, English and history teacher

Our story is told from the point of view of a sensitive, young Dublin boy on the verge of adolescence. Add confusion, a romantic crush, religious zest, a secular world, feelings of loneliness, alienation, and frustration. The result? An epiphany! Araby by James Joyce is found in the collection The Dubliners, a short story as well written as a lyric poem. Explore the yearning and longing expressed by the narrator, by you the reader, and by this remarkable author. (Story can be found on Internet).

400 Years Of Opera In Two Hours; 1-3 pm John Balme, Concordia Vocal Academy

In the late 1590s, a group of Florentines ‘created’ the concept of ‘sung drama’ as they thought the ancient Greeks would have performed it, and the result was, and still is, “opera” – a unique blending of drama, singing, spectacle, stage scenery, costumes, and lighting. Oh, and plenty of temperament. We will explore opera’s most wonderful moments and some of its stranger detours, and we will try to unwrap what makes opera fanatics so singled-minded in their obsessive love for this most extravagant of art forms.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18TH

New Jersey: Epicenter Of The Revolutionary War; 10 am-noonJack Needle and Fred Fraterrigo, Brookdale history professors

The Battles of Trenton and Princeton, it can be argued, saved the Revolution and confirmed Washington as a brilliant strategist and the colonists as worthy opponents of the British Empire. More battles and skirmishes were fought in New Jersey than in any other colony, and it was here that the tide of conflict turned.

How To Watch A Movie; 1-3 pmMatthew Montemorano, Brookdale film studies

Understanding the decisions made behind the camera changes the way you watch a movie. Learn about “cinematic language,” the techniques filmmakers use to connect audiences to the story of a film. Participants will watch a variety of scenes to identify methods in which films communicate ideas to the audiences. Examples will focus on mise-en-scène, cinematography, sound, and editing.

The Irish Experience In AmericaHenry McNally, Irish heritage instructor

From the earliest colonial settlements, the Irish have been part of the American story. They came as slaves and indentured servants, then in larger numbers, taking a leading role in establishing a new nation, and later in massive numbers, unskilled, uneducated and unwanted, threatening the very fabric of American life. The Irish changed America as they became American, moving from the country’s first urban ghettos to the halls of Congress and the board rooms of Wall Street. Examine the America awaiting the new arrivals and follow their struggle to forge a new identity, both Irish and American. 5 SESSIONSSec 1: Wed, Mar 4-Apr 1, 10-11:30 amSec 2: Wed, Mar 4-Apr 1, 7-8:30 pmFee and Code: $69, XIRIG 089 W

Nakashima Studio Tour; James A Michener Art Museum, PAAs we take our guided tour of the studio and grounds, Nakashima’s words will echo among the beauty and inspiration of this enchanted property. In his book The Soul of a Tree, Nakashima writes, “It is an art-and soul-satisfying adventure to walk the forests of the world, to commune with trees ... to bring this living material to the work bench, ultimately to give it a second life.” An innovator of 20th-century furniture design, he has few rivals and countless imitators. Our behind-the-scenes exploration of the building and grounds will conclude with a gourmet boxed lunch at the magnificently designed pool house. Next stop; a guided tour of the Art & Soul of Bucks County, The Michener Art Museum.Fri, June 26, 8 am-5:30 pmFee and Code: $109, XTRVY 012 W
