may need to bring.
A Utopia is a vision of an ideal community. Dystopia, on the other hand, is a future vision characterised by an intensifying of social oppressions and a deepening of the current ecological crisis. The books we will read are all stories, selected for their connection to the theme of exploring Utopia/Dystopia by women
writers. In this bookclub, we will gather to discuss not only the future worlds the author’s weave for us, but also our own visions for what lies ahead.
What are some of the common themes for these envisioned futures? What are some of the differences? What do these visions of “brave new worlds” reflect back to us about our present time, and the potential to create new paths?
the first meeting we can meet and discuss what we would like to see come out of the bookclub. At each meeting thereafter, we can discuss the story and share our own.

If you have a video camera please ask the facilitator of this class for permission
to video the workshop so that the Freeschool can share it with others. After you film the event, submit the video tape to the Freeschool as a MiniDv tape and we will air it on our TV Show and Film Series, 'The Art of Having Fun', which airs on Mondays and Fridays at 11:59pm on TCTV Channel 22. This show practices freedom of speech in every way, manner and form so no censorship is
needed nor requested of your facilitators or the people attending the class.
Please leave 5 minutes at the start of the tape for editing and introduction. If the video is longer than 28 minutes minutes (including the 5 minutes of blank tape space at the beginning that we need) please keep in mind that the Freeschool may air it as a multi-part series or air it as one uninterupted film at a different time slot
on TCTV Channel 22. Also, please keep in mind that if your video promotes the purchase of item/services or promotes government legislation we will not air it because we do not air videos that appear to be commercials or that look too much like a commercial. Thank you.
