Moderated by one of our most prolific and stimulating independent artists. This interactive seminar begins with lyrics from 3 Oratorio libretti and then quickly moves into the pressing issues of our day. A. Paul Johnson, composer, author, and stage director, brings the poetry around to our current psyche and soul from the perspective of one who creates and interprets high art. Over the course of thousands of years our culture has experienced these profound needs and deep catharses with the stream of life energy in work, play, and family through Art. This seminar is a springboard for myriad strategies and opportunities on how to open these DEEP CONVERSATIONS with the skill of a playwright or symphony conductor.
