'Pointing Out' and 'A Woman Taken in Adultery' at Little Center Theatre
Worcester, MA- If you are looking for a unique theatrical experience, Clark University’s Theater Arts Program is giving it away with performances of “Pointing Out” and “A Woman Taken in Adultery”, a joint performance created as part of the New England Medieval Conference. The performances will take place in the Little Center Theater and Garden, Clark University, October 21-23, 2005.
“Pointing Out” is an original work based on the “Pointing Out Instructions” of Dzogchen Buddhism as authored by Ken Wilber. This piece, which takes place in the Little Center garden, builds on Buddhist teachings about attaining the highest state of consciousness by ‘pointing out’ certain common elements in everyday awareness. “A Woman Taken in Adultery,” a late medieval play based on a gospel story (earliest extant records show a performance in 1456), moves from condemnation to tolerance and forgiveness. The medieval play is rarely performed; Clark director Raymond Munro has tailored it in creative ways to link with the pointing out exercise and highlight conflicts among the three major religions.
All performances begin at 3 p.m.
All performances are free and open to the public.
Registration for the NEMC should be in advance. Visit www.higgins.org for a conference schedule, brochure, and registration form. Please contact Tara Young, director of education at the Higgins Armory Museum at 508-853-6015, ext.15 or www.clarku.edu
