The Humanities Division of
Capitol Campus is sponsoring a
Free Flicks Series of classical
films and documentaries to be
presented every Tuesday at
12:15 in the Black Cultural Arts
Center.
“Films are a basic way for
experiencing the world and
understanding the past,” said
Eton Churchill, coordinator of
the multi-media option. The
Humanities Division most
recently sponsored the film
Anarchy in America and a four
part series on Nuclear War.
The selected films in this
experimental series depict
highlights of the early
cinema—from the silent
American classics to early
experiments from France,
Russia and Germany.
Coming films include:
January 25 - Nanook of the
North. Robert Flaherty’s
classic study about Hudson Bay
Eskimos and their struggle to
survive in their harsh Arctic
environment. Originally done in
1922. You’ll have a new
appreciation for central heating
and convenience stores.

Schade unfolds

On Thursday evening,
January 13,1983, The Indepen
dent Eye, a nationally known
professional theatre, presented,
LE CABARET DE CAMILLE,
one woman’s look into her fan
tasies co-sponsored by the
Capitol Campus Cultural
Events series and The Penn-
sylvania Council of the Arts.
Eye veteran, Camilla Schade,
took the autidorium’s audience
(a small crowd of 65) on an im
aginary journey into her world
as she became the star, suppor
ting cast, band, stage crew and
critic of her own fantasy
cabaret.
The sparsely decorated stage
suddenly came alive as we
became captured by Schade’s
capacity for comedy and the
familiarity of her characters
and their settings. We were
taken to the post office and of
course made to stand in line.
We were taken to the African
jungle and to a carnival mid-

way, all with the greatest of
ease due to Schade’s character
impersonations. She had us
laughing as she became a
housewife doing the dishes who
enters a Walter Mitty world of
daydreams. We became
speculative when she
transformed into her mother.
We related to and reminisced
about her times as a teenager.
LE CABARET was scripted
by Eye artistic director Conrad
Bishop, based on improvisa
tions by Schade. According to
Schade, “There’s something
about nonsense that makes
sense to me. It’s as if reality is
a huge tapestry and over time
it gets obscured, things fray,
get woven over it. But if you
find that one spot where the
funny threads are, and you pull
like crazy, things happen.”
What was so interesting and
exciting about LE CABARET,
was that Schade took us down
the personal road to Camilla.
These were her actual
daydreams, thoughts and fears
She was not just acting -- she
was being.
