My Go-To Place on Cyber Club is our virtual My Go-To Place programming that includes education, socialization and art. Check our site for weekly program descriptions.
Thursday, June 5—My Go-To Place on Cyber Club: Beyond Bebop: The Brubeck Revolution in Jazz. Join Kurt Loeffler for a lecture featuring the West Coast Jazz pioneer Dave Brubeck and his highly successful original compositions. Brubeck was a pianist, composer, and band leader who eschewed bebop jazz, instead opting for a hybrid of cool jazz coupled with his classical roots. He broke new ground with his famous “Time Out” album that featured odd meter time signatures and lyrical improvisation.
Thursday, June 12—My Go-To Place on Cyber Club: Hollywood Style: Icons of Fashion. Classic Hollywood stars and their fashions on-screen and off were influential style choices for moviegoers worldwide. Join Film Historian Dr. Annette Bochenek as she presents the daring wardrobe choices and revolutionary makeup innovations of the stars and their legacies today.
Thursday, June 19—My Go-To Place on Cyber Club: Screen Sirens and Stereotypes—A Look at Women in Film. Encounter four ways Hollywood has traditionally represented women onscreen. Among the categories you’ll consider: mothers, damsels, femme fatales, and domestic or romantic agents. You’ll also get a primer on how movies have chosen to represent women’s bodies over the years, particularly when few clothes are involved. Join Chicago Movie Tours for an overview of women onscreen!
Thursday, June 26—My Go-To Place on Cyber Club: Prohibition—13 Years of Scofflaws, Scandals, and Speakeasies. To mark the 91st anniversary of the repeal of prohibition, join the Chicago History Museum as we look at how everyday Chicagoans violated the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act and the consequences of their actions. Meet a grandmother who brewed beer in her apartment, a famed writer who kept cases of whisky at his club, and a corrupt prohibition agent who posed as a count to shake down the Green Mill jazz cabaret.
