I was hoping that you might be able to forward the message below to your house lists. I’m running a winter session program with Jody Diamond, the music department artist-in-residence, on opera, gamelan, and shadow theater at the SOCH, and it would be great to have some enthusiastic participants! Thanks so much! Best wishes, Hayley --- Hayley Fenn PhD Candidate in Historical Musicology Graduate Music Forum Chair Resident Tutor at Currier House Harvard University hayleyalexandrafenn(a)fas.harvard.edu 617-230-5458 <(617)%20230-5458> ———————————————— *WINTERSESSION PROGRAM: The Magic Flute and Javanese Shadow Theater* Whether you love theater, are a budding story-teller, have a fascination with puppets, want to learn a musical instrument from scratch, or would like to find out more about familiar or new artistic practices and their oft unexpected but compelling cross-cultural resonances, join our wintersession program! Everyone is welcome! This exciting Wintersession course *(1pm-4pm on January 18, 19 and 20)* explores the traditions and practices of Javanese shadow theater through the story of *The Magic Flute*. Using Lotte Reiniger's short animated film *Papageno* as a source of inspiration, we will devise and develop our own version of *The Magic Flute*. We will perform the roles with Javanese shadow puppets and we will play the music on Harvard's very own gamelan, Si Betty. Absolutely no experience required! *REGISTER HERE* <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__harvard.us11.list-2Dman…>
