The Riddle of Destiny: Exploring Rudolf Steiner's Four Mystery Dramas with Marke Levene Join us for a series of webinars beginning Feb 18, 2014 at 9:00 PM EST. Register now! This summer, August 8 - 17 in Spring Valley, NY, an opportunity will occur to experience all four of Rudolf Steiner's Mystery Dramas in English within the course of a nine-day festival of performance, exploration and study. Performed by the Threefold Mystery Drama Group under the direction of Barbara Renold, the festival is co-sponsored by the Threefold Educational Foundation and the Anthroposophical Society in America, with a generous grant from the Rudolf Steiner Charitable Trust. To support this work, the Anthroposophical Society is sponsoring a webinar series to explore the biographical development of the main characters throughout all four dramas. Rudolf Steiner wrote these plays "not to give us many thoughts to further our understanding of anthroposophy, but to show us the transforming power of spiritual striving in individual lives, and especially the development in human relationships through an awareness of the forces of destiny." The presenter for this series is Marke Levene. Marke has worked intensively with the Mystery Dramas since 1978. While living in England he formed Portal Productions, which toured the dramas from 1989 - 1995. This coming summer he will portray the character of Hilary. The webinar is open to all, but registration is required to participate. Marke is volunteering his time, and all proceeds from the webinar will directly support this summer's festival. Sessions begin at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT and will last for one hour. Cost: $15/session; $125 for the series (11 sessions). Schedule: February 18 - Introduction / March 4 - Johannes / March 18 - Maria / April 1 - Capesius / April 15 - Strader / April 29 - Felix and Felicia / May 13 - Theodora, the Other Maria, Citizens / May 27 - Soul Forces, Spirit of the Elements, the Double, the Spirit of Johannes' Youth / June 10 - Hilary, the Brotherhood / June 24 - Lucifer, Ahriman, the Guardian / July 8 - Conclusion.
