Join @profjoubin.bsky.social and Peter Loge for an engaging Tonic Talk, exploring the parallels between Shakespeare's tales of power, ambition, and betrayal and the “actors” on the political stage. Are we living a comedy, a tragedy, or a history play?

A gem @folger.edu from 1602. Unfold the flaps to reveal
4 painted figures, each with two fold-over flaps portraying alternate heads: 1) The judgment of Paris; 2) Dido, Pyramus and Thisbe; 3) David, Judith and Joshua; 4) Woman Clothed with the Sun (Bible), St. Michael the Archangel, Queen Elizabeth.

@profjoubin.bsky.social and her colleagues enjoyed a speaker-curated artifacts display in the Founder's Room @folger.edu during the Symposium on Performance Methodologies. Among the artifacts were a forged signature of Shakespeare and an Elizabethan conceit that is a bit of a theatre in your palm

When we visited Singapore, we sampled their national dish: Hainanese chicken. Today, I recreated that experience at home.
