A Way with Words will also be a semi-annual CHA colloquium series, if the radio program succeeds. On October 19, at 4 pm, in Masters Hall of the Georgia Center for Continuing Education, John Miller will bring together the first five individuals interviewed Rosemary Daniell, William Price Fox, Mary Hood, Terry Kay, and Patricia Bell-Scott for an unrehearsed discussion about the practice of writing. He will serve as moderator. In future series Miller hopes to focus on the performing arts and the visual arts, first recording the interviews for airing on public radio and then assembling the group of five for the colloquium. The colloquia will provide the public the opportunity to see distinguished artists interact with each other, as well as with the audience.
Public radio is an ideal locus for the exchange of ideas about culture and the arts.
The Center for Humanities and Arts is fortunate that John Miller, with his technical producer Trent Allen, is willing to put together the interview show and that WUGA-FM is willing to air it. The University community will benefit from hearing on the radio five well-known artists talk individually about their work and from seeing them in person engaging each other in conversation. We hope that their conversation will attract a crowd, in Masters Hall on October 19 and on the air all fall.
