New York English Academy è orgogliosa di annunciare il nuovo “Einstein Culture Club”, dove sarà possibile godersi delle attività culturali, tutte in lingua inglese!
Sull’onda dell’enorme successo del nostro evento (un clamoroso tutto esaurito) ‘Einstein in Tuscany’, che si è svolto al Virgo lo scorso giugno, abbiamo deciso di espandere questo progetto e creare eventi culturali in inglese a cadenza settimanale, come proiezioni di film, reading poetici, lezioni e dibattiti, aperitivi, musica…
Gran parte degli eventi si svolgeranno il venerdì alla sede della New York English Academy, ma quando avremo bisogno di più spazio coinvolgeremo come partner le altre istituzioni culturali della zona – Palazzo Blu, SMS Biblio, Teatro del Giglio, Teatro Lux… – con le quali abbiamo collaborato con soddisfazione reciproca in questi anni.
Following the talks and concerts we will have an ‘English Aperitivo’ during which we can exchange perspectives.
The perfect opportunity for local English learners to practice listening and speaking, and the only opportunity in Pisa for foreigners to meet English-speaking locals as well as fellow travelers and expats.

Silvia Panichi Book Presentation
‘ROMA ANTICA E LA NUOVA AMERICA‘
(Donzelli 2018)
followed by our our annual
NYEA CHRISTMAS PARTY!
NYEA is honored to welcome art-historian and writer, Silvia Panichi, who will present her new book, ROMA ANTICA E LA NUOVA AMERICA (Donzelli, 2018), which explores the influence of Ancient Roman culture on the early formation of the U.S.
The presentation will be in English and will be followed by an open discussion, also in English.
Following the presentation we will have a Christmas ‘Brindisi’ (toast) with some light refreshments.
This event is free of charge – as a Christmas gift from us to you – but reservations are absolutely necessary! Please reserve by email through info@newyorkenglishacademy.com.
THE TALK, DISCUSSION AND ‘BRINDISI’ WILL BE FROM 18:00-19:00!
PLEASE NOTE: In an effort to combat some of the comercialization of Christmas, we will not be selling the book at this event; but if you purchase the book elsewhere and bring it with you, we are sure Ms. Panichi will be happy to sign it.
Facebook event HERE!

Following the book presentation, we will have an open Christmas potluck party – also free of charge – where all guests are invited to bring something to eat and drink and enjoy some nice company, Christmas songs and plenty of English conversation before we close for our holiday break.

Hope to see you there!!!

A special talk by Prof. Theo Van Boxel
‘Escher and Graphic Design’
“As Escher once said: ‘If you want to express something impossible, you must keep to certain rules. The element of mystery to which you want to draw attention should be surrounded and veiled by a quite obvious, readily recognizable commonness.’ This true for Escher’s art, but also for all of art.
As a graphic designer it is my job to express the impossible, to transform often abstract concepts into functional communication.
In this lecture I want to explain how Escher’s rules and techniques are present in modern graphic design.
I will illustrate how calligraphy, typography, logo design, layout and interface design are related to Escher’s world.
A calligrapher creates letters and symbols by balancing between space and negative space, a typographer creates patterns of text, a logo designer synthesizes ideas in easy-to-understand symbols, an interface designer creates a virtual reality – all using exactly the same rules and techniques that Escher did.” – Theo Van Boxel
21.01.2018 – Roan Johnson @ Palazzo Blu
