What’s Attention–& How Much Should We Give?

This exciting Dramatic Presentation of Aesthetic Realism–a wonderful relation of entertainment and education–will feature

A staged reading of the lecture by Eli Siegel “Mind & Attention” in which he said:

“Attention is a kind of love. Its purpose is to see a thing as it is, wholly as it is, cheerfully as it is, courageously as it is, and not let what it is be interfered with by ourselves.”

Do You Hope to Respect People, or Have Contempt?”
A Reenactment of an Aesthetic Realism Lesson

“This is the big test of a man: if a woman is favorable to him, does he respect her more or less?”–Eli Siegel

And–

“Looking at a Painting by Mary Cassatt; or, Can a Woman Really Be Sensible about Her Child?” By NYC science educator Barbara McClung. She says:

“This lovely work answers one of the largest questions of mothers: Should we use our child to make a separate world of our own, just the two of us; or should we feel that through this child we’re closer to the whole world?”

& more!
