SUMMARY:{VIRTUAL} Vampire Love Stories: Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Only Lovers Left Alive
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE READ: VIRTUAL ZOOM CLASSES OPERATE AS LIVE CLASSES ONLY\, WE DO NOT RECORD TO PROTECT THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF OUR TEACHERS. This class is not an in-person class\, it is a live\, online only offering. Your zoom link will be attached to your ticket. Please also check your junk\, spam and promotions folders in your email for your ticket. Email learn@ritualcravt.com with any questions. Classes are in MDT time zone. Class fees are non transferable\, we stick to the student agreements agreed upon during registration. Registration closes one hour prior to class beginning. \n  \nHaving taught several classes on these films apart from one another\, I thought that in honor of the current Halloween season I would offer a class covering both Bram Stoker’s Dracula (Dir. Francis Ford Coppola) and Only Lovers Left Alive (Dir. Jim Jarmusch)\, focusing in particular on the love stories at the heart of each film. Each story incorporates captivating themes\, such as forbidden love and cursed immortality\, as well as fairy-tale motifs and archetypes. In fact\, just as the world of fairy tales contains both classic and contemporary variants\, Count Dracula and Mina Harker’s love story is “classic”\, while Adam and Eve’s is “contemporary”\, utilizing post-modern elements and deconstructing various source texts. I’ll be talking about intertextuality\, looking at how each film references and reimagines literary inspirations\, costume design\, setting and atmosphere\, and what it is about these iconic relationships that holds us in thrall year after year\, sending us back for repeat viewings of our comfort films in which “Love never dies.” \n  \nYOUR INSTRUCTOR \nSusan Redington Bobby\, the founder of Professor of Words\, LLC\, is an online teacher\, a freelance editor\, a writing mentor\, and a tutor. Her specialty is being able to read people on a deeper level through their writing\, and she has recently completed a certificate course on integrative somatic trauma therapy.  She is a retired professor of English with expertise in fairy tales\, adolescent literature\, goddess archetypes\, magical realism\, creative writing\, and film studies.
