“Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead”

Thursday, May 16• 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Part of the "Love and Shakespeare" film series.
Rosencrantz (Gary Oldman) and Guildenstern (Tim Roth) ramble obliviously through Elsinore Castle and its environs as the events of William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" unfold around them. While visiting their old friend Hamlet (Iain Glen), the pair engage in an ongoing philosophical debate about free will versus predestination, each trying to prove absurd positions through misbegotten experiments. Meanwhile, the clueless friends attempt to make sense of the peculiar goings-on in the castle. 1991, PG, 118 min.

Studio Workshop: “Text Messages: Using Letterforms in Art”

Thursday, May 16• 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Led by teaching artist Kristen Ashley, this class will explore the use of typography and hand-written text in visual art. Using various artists and styles as our guides, we’ll draw, paint, print, and scribble: creating letterforms to compose our message. With an emphasis on traditional methods and crafts, we’ll blur the lines between fine art, calligraphy and graphic design. The cost of the course is a $15 materials fee, which will cover all necessary supplies for the four sessions (May 2, 9, 16 and 23). Space is limited; call 706.583.0111 or email callan@uga.edu to register.
