Johanna Ulfsak, born in 1987 in Estonia, is a textile artist and designer based in Tallinn. She holds a Master's degree in Textile Design from Kolding School of Design, Denmark, and furthered her studies at Kawashima Textile School in Japan, where she learned Kasuri weaving and ancient plant dyeing techniques. Ulfsak has gained experience in various fashion and textile companies across Switzerland, Germany, and Estonia. Her work emphasizes slow, traditional methods like hand-weaving and wood carving, blending these with contemporary art concepts to produce unique items and installations that challenge disciplinary boundaries.

 

Daria Koltsova, a prominent contemporary Ukrainian artist born in 1987 in Kharkiv, creates installations, performances, and videos that intertwine political and personal narratives. After seeking refuge from the war in Berlin and Oxford, she frequently returns to Odessa to work. Her art responds to the impacts of conflict, focusing on themes like memory, displacement, and resilience. Since the 2014 annexation of Crimea, Koltsova has explored the delicate balance of protection and fragility, expressing hope amid destruction through her innovative visual language.

REMINDER: On June 14th - Shakespeare and Astrology


For our June meeting, we're honored to welcome distinguished astrologer Priscilla Costello and renowned actor/astrologer Colin McPhillamy for a special program. Titled "Shakespeare and Astrology: How the Classical Worldview Unlocks his Plays," this talk describes how Shakespeare's plays reflect a comprehensive philosophical model in which astrology played an integral and natural role in making sense of human behavior and the world.


To add a special dimension to this talk, Colin will be reciting speeches from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" which illustrate the points being discussed. This will be the first dramatic performance ever presented at A.S.P.!


Complete details and registration information are below, as are the very interesting bios of our speakers. We look forward to seeing you online June 14th.


Note: This will be the last meeting of our 2025-2026 season. We will resume regular monthly meetings in October.

Online Meeting: Sunday, June 14th (2:00 - 4:00 PM Eastern Time)

Priscilla Costello and Colin McPhillamy, "Shakespeare and Astrology: How the Classical Worldview Unlocks his Plays"


Did the Bard really draw on astrological symbolism to create his magnificent literary works? (spoiler alert: he did) And was he really inspired by the cosmological model of an interconnected, meaningful universe with synchronicities between humanity, nature and the cosmos? (spoiler alert: he certainly did!)


Starting with speculations about how astrology “works”, we will be focusing on the spiritual philosophy that originated with Pythagoras and Plato and was added to for over 2,000 years by multiple streams of Western thought: not only Platonism but also Neo-Platonism, Kabbalism, Hermeticism, and Christianity. By Shakespeare’s time, it is a fully developed cosmology positing connections between all the levels of creation through sympathetic resonance. 


The stars and planets, named after the deities of Greek and Roman mythology, are integral parts of this model and function as carriers of psychological, philosophical, and spiritual meaning. Embedded within this framework is a formulation of a psychological model based on the four elements, which Shakespeare draws on consistently.


Referring specifically to “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, Priscilla and Colin will deconstruct its principal symbolism, and Colin will lend his sonorous tones in reciting speeches from the play. 


We hope that from this deconstruction of the play you will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Bard’s works. If you have had difficulty “cracking the code” of Shakespeare’s opus, prepare to hear it in an entirely new way…we will “lend you ears” to experience it as the Elizabethans did!


About the speakers:

PRISCILLA COSTELLO, M.A., Dipl. CAAE (Canadian Association for Astrological Education) is a counselling astrologer, educator, speaker, and writer with a professional practice spanning over 40 years. With a B. A. from Wellesley College and a double prize-winning M. A. (on religious philosophy and Jungian psychology), she has spoken widely throughout the U.S, Canada, and England, and at numerous conferences sponsored by NCGR, AFA, SOTA, and UAC. Founder and Director of The New Alexandria, a centre for religious, spiritual, and esoteric studies, she has written numerous articles for various publications.

Also available are smaller “Playbill” editions on six of Shakespeare’s best-loved plays, drawn on material from the longer book.


COLIN McPHILLAMY was born in London, England to Australian parents where he trained at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. His most recent stage role was the bombastic Shakespearean actor “Sir” in “The Dresser”. In the U.K. he has worked in the West End, at the Royal National Theatre for five seasons, and extensively in British regional theatre. In the U.S. he has appeared on Broadway, Off-Broadway, and at regional centres across the country. Internationally, he has acted in Australia, China, New Zealand, and across Europe. His book An Actor Walks into China tells the story of teaching Shakespeare to Chinese students at Peking University. Two other books, The Treehouse and Other Stories and Actor Blog Plus, are available on Amazon. Following a lifelong interest and a prediction made to him in his 20’s, he began an astrological practise in 2016. With a Gemini Moon in the 9th, Colin’s interests are many and varied.
