Waiting for Godot

Co-directed by Dan Christiaens and Robert Sindelar
“Two dilapidated bums fill their days as painlessly as they can. They wait for Godot, a personage who will explain their interminable insignificance, or put an end to it. They are resourceful, with quarrels and their dependence on each other, as children are. They pass the time ‘which would have passed anyway.’
A brutal man of means comes by, leading a weakling slave, who does his bidding like a mechanical doll. Later, he comes back, blind, and his slave is mute, but the relationship is unchanged.
Every day a child comes from the unknown Godot, and evasively puts the big arrival off until tomorrow…It is a tragic view. Yet, in performance, most of it is a brilliant, bitter comedy…It is a portrait of the dogged resilience of man’s spirit in the face of little hope.”

Directed by David Ossman with Jim Carroll as The Narrator, Mark Twain is arguably our most famous American author and humorist. He was also an important and influential social icon. Timely Twain opens with the witty storyteller. Later, we see him use his podium to deliver his wry political and social commentary. Finally, the numerous tragedies in his personal life appear to lead him to a darker, disappointed cynicism.
Samuel Clemens followed every personal tragedy with surges of creative energy and productivity. There’s no doubt he would have done so again but for an appointment with Halley’s Comet in 1910. With faith in Clemens’s indomitable nature, the playwright gives Captain Stormfield, Twain’s posthumous alter ego, the final encouraging words.

CANCELLED - Whidbey Island Fine Art Studio - Leonid Gervits Painting Flowers/Still Life ​
2023-05-13 - 2023-05-15 | Coffman Building, 819 Camano Avenue, Langley, WA, 98260, United States
Leonid Gervits

Painting Flowers/Still Life
​
May 13 – 15
$625
Skill level: all levels
​
Flowers are one of the most difficult things to paint in art. But as hard as it is, it is also an exciting challenge and pays off in many ways. Human cultures around the world consider flowers synonymous with pure beauty. In painting history there are many wonderful examples of artists trying to capture this beauty (especially in west European art): Manet, Fantin-Latour, Crivelli, Van Gogh, etc.
For the purpose of education, painting florals means much more than painting a still life because flowers are not “dead nature;” they are alive with light and movement, and it can even be said they have personalities. Capturing the countless varieties of shapes, colors, tones and vibrations of the flower is an exciting task for students at any level.
​
Leonid Gervits belongs to the European/Russian realist tradition of painting and drawing. In 1966, he graduated from the Odessa Art College; and in 1973, he received an MFA from Repin Academy, where he later worked as a professor for sixteen years. Mr. Gervits moved to the United States in 1991, working as an instructor at the New York Academy from 1992 to 2000. He has been an instructor at the Art Students League since 1997. An artist of the realist tradition and of serious academic training, Mr. Gervits is able to work in a broad spectrum of genres.
