    Living with Genji: The "World's First Novel" in 21st Century Japan

    The students in JAPN 290 (“Reading the Tale of Genji” in English”) and Prof. Otilia Milutin (Japanese Studies) are cordially inviting you and your students to view their exhibit, “Living with Genji: The World’s First Novel in 21st Century Japan.” The exhibit features a selection of objects, artwork, movies, and manga inspired by the 11th century classic The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu.  Our exhibit aims to showcase a few selected items that speak both of the tale’s enduring legacy in traditional Japanese arts, and, equally important, of its contemporary reiterations, be they manga and movies adaptations or commercial, consumer-oriented products such as mascots, stationary, fabrics, and other everyday objects.  Through our exhibit, we hope to demonstrate how a millennium old classic lives and thrives today in contemporary Japan.

    Shape Note Singing

    Sponsored by:
    Charles P. Scott Center for Spiritual and Religious Life

    Described as spiritual, joyful, powerful, and raucous, Shape Note (or Sacred Harp) singing is a traditional American style of four-part, a capella, community singing popular in the United States before the Civil War. This style still thrives across the US and in the UK, with strongholds in the American South and New England. It is called Shape Note because the notes of the scale are indicated by distinctive shapes and names.

    Hepburn Zoo Theater

    To close the theater season, Manfred by Lord Byron is an experimental student-led production. Initially intended as a narrative poem, and thus rarely performed, Manfred follows a guilt-ridden man in the Alps, haunted by forbidden love. Seeking answers beyond the mortal world, Manfred turns to spirits of the unnatural. But can they save him from his desolation?
