In a couple weeks, I’m off to be a guest-in-residence at University of Illinois in Urbana, Illinois. The program that invited me is called Unit One, an educational model established in the 1970s. Basically, some 650 students live, eat, and learn together within the confines of a single facility on campus called Allen Hall. And then they invite journalists, filmmakers, and others to hole up in an apartment in the hall and give nightly presentations about their work. Apparently the fillmmaker behind Hoop Dreams gave a yoga workshop! Not me–straight up lectures, plus film showings and Q&A. I was pleased to learn that all the events in the hall are open to the public. More details here.
