    OLLI at Berkshire Community College
    Summer 2024 Semester

    June 7 - August 23

    Expand your mind with OLLI at BCC's fascinating courses offered online via Zoom and/or in-person in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. No tests, no grades, just learning for the love of learning.

    Our Summer Semester runs June 7 - August 23, 2024, and includes a mix of in-person, online, and hybrid (online and in-person) courses. All classes take place in Eastern Time.

    This summer we will be offering a single, more prolonged semester (11 weeks), inclusive of 4-11 week courses which will be scheduled and dispersed throughout this interval.

    We are making some changes to course fees, for the summer only, that will accommodate offering one registration for all summer courses (rather than two separate semesters in recent years). Some folks will experience a small increase, but most will pay the same or less than they did over two summer semesters in previous years.

    The course costs for Summer 2024 are:

    1 course - $55
    2 courses –$100
    3 courses - $125
    4 or more courses - $150

    Each Flexpass counts as one course (6 sessions).

    Online registration is closed. Please call the office to register or add courses.

    Call the OLLI at BCC Office at 413.236.2190 (Mon-Fri, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Eastern) to register by phone with a credit card, or with any questions you may have.

    To sign up for courses, you need to be an OLLI at BCC member. (Not a member yet? Join here.) Not sure which classes you want to take? Sign up for one or more Flexpasses, which allow you to attend six individual class sessions of your choice within a semester, as long as the class is not full. Click here to learn more about Flexpasses.

    Note that our online courses are recorded, unless otherwise noted. If you cannot attend live, or if you miss a session or two, you can request a link to the recording and watch it at your convenience.

    Questions? Contact us at olli@berkshirecc.edu or 413.236.2190. We look forward to hearing from you!

    OLLI at BCC Performing Arts Initiative Presents:

    A Conversation with:
    Jim Frangione and Judy Braha,
    Great Barrington Public Theater

    Wednesday, August 14, 2024 at 1 p.m.

    Free & open to all

    In-person at Zion Lutheran Church, 74 First Street, Pittsfield, MA.

    What does it take to develop a new play and bring it to life? We’ll ask Jim Frangione about his new play Flight of the Monarch. Judy Braha will be directing that play in its regional premiere at Shakespeare & Company in August. We’ll learn about the challenges of running a new theater – Great Barrington Public Theater, now in its fifth year. We’ll also hear about Berkshire Voices, an incubator for new plays.

    Jim Frangione is the co-founder and Artistic Director of Great Barrington Public Theater. He is passionate about the theater’s mission to develop and produce new plays with a focus on playwrights and theater artists living in and near the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts.

    Jim has a decades-long career as a director, actor, and playwright.Recent directorial credits include the premieres of plays by Mark St. Germain (Dad and Public Speaking 101), the solo play, The Bard The Beat The Blues, by Will Lebow, and the east coast premiere of David Mamet’s play, The Christopher Boy's Communion.  Jim has written and produced several full-length plays, as well as a number of short plays. He is the author of two screenplays, Summer Cop (with Jonathan Shoemaker) and Good Haven.

    Judy Braha is the Associate Artistic Director of Great Barrington Public Theater. Judy Braha has been a director, actor, teacher and artist for social justice for over four decades. Long-time head of the M.F.A. Directing Program at Boston University’s School of Theater, her credits include theaters and universities throughout New England and beyond. 

    Her work for GBPT includes directing 2021’s hit Mr. Fullerton and 2022’s Things I Know to Be True.  This year she has directed Dog People and has been working with Anne Undeland on her newest show, Mozart’s Wife, The Lacrymosa. Judy also is a long-time member of the Society of Directors and Choreographers and a founding board member of Stage Source, a New England theater resource committed to connecting theaters, artists and their communities.

    Barbara Waldinger will introduce and interview Mr. Frangione and Ms. Braha. She is a theater teacher, director, reviewer, and co-founder of the OLLI at BCC Performing Arts Initiative.

    In-person only - meet at site.
    218 Spring Street, Catskill, NY 12414


    Meet at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site where Ralph Pearson and a staff interpreter will give short orientation to the site and context on Cole’s life and work.

    There are two exhibitions currently on view:

    Alan Michelson, Prophetstown:
    Artist Alan Michelson (Mohawk, Six Nations of the Grand River) presents a site-responsive exhibition throughout the historic artist’s home and landscape including the first complete American display of Prophetstown, 2012; the first New York display of Hanödaga:yas (Town Destroyer), 2018; and video and other mixed media installations.

    Native Prospects Indigeneity and Landscape:
    A new exhibition juxtaposes an Indigenous approach to the articulation of land with the American landscape paintings of Thomas Cole. Curated by Dr. Scott Manning Stevens, PhD / Karoniaktatsie (Akwesasne Mohawk)


    Allow two hours to tour the site.


    Lunch options:

    • Bring your own lunch and drinks and picnic with others at either the Cole site or Olana.
    • Explore restaurants in Catskill or Hudson.

    Get it Done!
    with Jane Kavanau

    Thursday, September 5 at
    1:30 - 3:00 p.m.

    In-person only.

    This course will introduce seven techniques and strategies for getting organized.

    Jane Kavanau approaches the subjects of organizing and de-cluttering from a somewhat different point of view than those of most organizers and self-help books. She believes that each person and situation is different, requiring that organizing strategies be flexible and simple – definitely NOT “one size fits all.”

    As a former teacher, Jane Kavanau understands that people have different learning styles. As a former real estate agent, she has seen the pitfalls of having a disorganized home and mind.

    Jane has taught courses and given talks, both here in the Berkshires and in Greenwich, CT, on the subject called “Getting Organized.” Jane coaches her clients either on the phone or on Zoom. They say “Believe it or not, it really works.”

    Four Sessions to Choose From!

    All tours are in person and onsite, rain or shine.

    Sunday, September 8, 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.
    Saturday, September 14, 1o:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

    Sunday, October 6,     1:00 - 3:00 p.m. 

    Indian Town was chartered in 1737 as a mission to the Mohican tribe to teach them English, about Christianity and about English agricultural practices. Recently, the Stockbridge-Munsee community in Wisconsin worked with Housatonic Heritage and other local partners to create a tour of the most important Mohican sites along the main street of Stockbridge. Trained by one of the creators of the walking tour, OLLI members will lead participants along Main Street to learn about the Mohicans, who lived in what is now Stockbridge for thousands of years, and aspects of their culture which are still present today. Stops include the Carriage Barn at the Mission House, the burial grounds and the site of the 2021 archeological dig for the Mohican meeting house.

    Please register in advance.

    This walk is approximately 1.5 mi. round trip and the sidewalks are accessible. Participants should be prepared to be walking and standing for about two hours.

    This walking tour has been developed by the Stockbridge-Munsee Community highlighting the years in which they lived in Stockbridge. Presented in partnership with Housatonic Heritage. The walking tours are free and open to the public.

    Exploring Ancestral Roots & Migrations Through Time & Place

    An online writing workshop led by Jennifer Browdy, PhD

    Monday, September 9, 2024
    10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET
    Online via Zoom

    Workshop Cost:
    OLLI at BCC Members: $15
    Non-members: $20

    Explore your ancestral roots, family patterns of migration, and your own sense of being rooted or still in search of a place to call home in a lively 2-hour online memoir workshop, led by award-winning memoirist and veteran teacher Jennifer Browdy, PhD.

    Expertly crafted writing prompts will help you trace back through the generations to explore your ancestral connections to particular times and places, as well as the trajectories of your family’s migrations. 

    Moving towards the present, we’ll inquire into the places where you have felt most rooted, and your own patterns of migration, using these meditations on past experiences to reach for a more intentional rootedness in a nourishing landscape that you can call home.

     No prior memoir writing experience is necessary, just bring your writing implements and your curiosity about the past, present and future!

    Jennifer Browdy, Ph.D. is a professor of literature, writing and media arts at Bard College at Simon’s Rock and the online global Bard Open Society University Network, with a special focus on purposeful memoir and media arts for social and environmental justice.

    Her latest book, Purposeful Memoir as a Quest for a Thriving Future, was a 2022 Nautilus Gold Award winner and a 2022 Gold Award winner in the Independent Press Awards. Her writer’s guide, The Elemental Journey of Purposeful Memoir, won a 2017 Nautilus Silver Award. Her memoir, What I Forgot ...And Why I Remembered, was a finalist for the 2018 International Book Awards.

    Jennifer has presented at numerous conferences and has written for Yes! Magazine, Kosmos Journal, Deep Times Journal and many academic journals and volumes. She offers writing workshops online and in person, author coaching and manuscript review, and is the publisher of Green Fire Press.

    Designing a Life at any Age
    with Mary O'Neal

    Three week series:
    Monday, October 21
    Monday, October 28, &
    Monday, November 4
     10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

    In-person only.

    The goal of this workshop is to provide the tools to students to (re)connect with their values, skills, and talents to discern a path forward at any stage in life. Using a combination of Stanford's Designing Your Life and Life Design Catalyst methodology, this hands-on collaborative course will provide the tools and opportunities for self-reflection and radically collaborative interactions. It will promote concrete baby steps and reduce abstract rabbit-holing about what to do with our lives.

    Mary B. O'Neill, Ph.D., has reinvented herself more than Madonna and has utilized all the tools participants will learn about in this workshop. She is an award-winning college instructor, dynamic educator, and fun and engaging presenter. O'Neill holds a philosophy doctorate and has broad experience designing creative programs and curricula that promote personal reflection and growth. She is a lecturer at Western Connecticut State University and has created and taught courses in philosophy, humanities, marketing, honors, first-year, and career education. She created the popular Philosophy of Happiness class, an interdisciplinary course that combined philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, and mindfulness to help students think about and engage in a well-lived life. In 2014, O'Neill was awarded the Systemwide Adjunct Award for Excellence in Teaching for the entire Connecticut State Colleges and Universities System.
