Journey back through time to a simpler era at Downtown Northville’s annual Victorian Festival this September.

The Festival begins with the traditional parade on Friday at 6:30pm and continues throughout the weekend.
The streets will be closed to automobile traffic as townspeople, artists, and business owners turn back the clock
and transform themselves into a Victorian Village complete with period costumes, storytellers, magicians, musical
entertainment, a carousel, and demonstrations. Ryde Park features rides for kids and the Victorian Saloon offers
entertainment for adults. Visitors can also enjoy a unique shopping experience in the many establishments in Northville,
old-fashioned games, and food booths. Victorian teas and fashion shows take place on Saturday and Northville’s own

SWAYAM LEARNING
126 North Center Street
(248) 756-2332
www.swayamlearning.com
At Swayam Learning, we believe that interactive and
intensive teaching facilitates motivation and interest in
students when learning meets their needs. Our classes
are designed to meet students’ needs and levels of
understanding while advancing and accelerating their
skills and abilities to at least three grades higher than
their current level. Our curriculum is never static; it is
progressive. We are aiming at long-term learning and
mastery of skills that will be the tools they can use across
any curriculum or subject/discipline for college.
Our goal is to cover the gaps in learning, occurring in
school in preparation for the exams and college. Thus,
we support school instruction by providing additional
exposure to advanced skills and concepts necessary for
standardized exams and college preparation. We also
support homeschooling efforts because our courses
allow for a range of knowledge and skills in students
while challenging them to apply current and new skills
consistently and thoroughly.
PLAY
We offer accelerated and progressive courses in English
Language Arts (grades 2-12), Middle School Physics,
Middle School Mathematics, Calculus, AP Calculus,
Economics, Speech for Middle School, Speech/Debate
for High School, and Watercolor/Pastel/Oil Painting.
We also offer separate Semi/Private Tutoring programs
that are customized to students’ specific needs in
English Language Arts. These programs also run on a
semester or short-term fixed schedule with the same
goals for progress.
Visit Swayam Learning at www.swayamlearning.com.
Fall semester enrollment and placement testing to
English Language Arts courses will begin in August.
Fall semester classes meet for 10 sessions between
September-December for 1-2 hour classes, depending
on the level.
Consistency is key in our curriculum, so what they learn
at one level will reappear again at another level but in
more advanced ways. Application is the primary driving
force of our curriculum as well, so students never escape
from seeing how all the concepts need to be applied
and intertwined. In this way, students learn not only the
core concepts and skills of grammar, reading analysis,
vocabulary and writing, but they also see how these
support and intertwine with each other to prepare for
more mature, higher-level analytical and writing skills.
Our curriculum serves to prepare students for
standardized exams, higher grade levels, AP/IB courses,
and ultimately college. Our instruction is like a college
classroom, interactive, task-based, and process-oriented.
Each level that we offer builds on old skills and teaches
new concepts to apply in new and advanced ways. In the
process, we also prepare students for collegiate skills:
self-efficacy, responsibility, proactive learning, pride in
presentation, adaptive thinking, critical thinking, and
oral skills.
We have been established since 2005, teaching students
in the community with qualified instructors in education
and/or in the subject matter they teach. Many of our
professors are seasoned, experienced individuals at
colleges and universities.

Till We Meet Again May Come Sooner Than You Think!
Join TPT for a season opener that haunts!
BLITHE SPIRIT
by Noel Coward, will open the 2013-2014 Season at Tipping Point Theatre.
The wit and wisdom of Noel Coward glimmer again in this much-loved drawing room spirit game. Subtitled “An
Improbable Farce” by Coward, “Blithe Spirit” presents novelist Charles Condomine torn between two lovers: one dead,
and one alive. At the top of the play, Charles and his wife, Ruth, are preparing for a dinner party with a medium, Madame
Arcati, as research for Charles’ newest novel The Unseen. What should be an amusing evening of observation turns on
its head when the unlikely Arcati inadvertently resurrects Charles’ first wife – Elvira. Only seen by Charles, Elvira is soon
creating trouble between Charles and Ruth. The improbabilities continue to unfold in Coward’s most hilarious comedy,
as one séance leads to another, resurrections lead to deaths, and adages like “‘till death do us part” and “parting is such
sweet sorrow” are taken to new heights!
BLITHE SPIRIT runs from September 1 through October 13, 2013. The curtain rises at 8:00 p.m. Thursdays through
Saturdays, with matinees at 3:00 p.m. Saturday and 2:00 p.m. Sunday. A special matinee performance has been added
on Wednesday.
The theatre is located at 361 E. Cady St. in Northville. Tickets are $29 to $32 for adults and $27 to $30 for students and
senior citizens and are available now by calling the box office at (248) 347-0003.
LOVE, LOSS AND WHAT I WORE
by Nora and Delia Ephron
October 25-27, 2013-Special Event*
A show about women and the clothes
they wear!
In this heartfelt comedy by chickflick favorites, Nora and Delia Ephron,
clothing is used as a vehicle to
access some of the most vulnerable
moments in a woman’s life. Shopping
for undergarments is transformed
from a mortifying experience to a
symbol of womanhood, a birthday
outfit becomes a story of acceptance,
and a bathrobe comes to embody
the relationship between mother
and daughter. Through a collection
of monologues, the all female cast of
“What I Wore” reminds us that what
we wear flourishes more than our
outfit; it accessorizes life’s most pivotal
moments of love and loss.
*not part of the SeasonPass. For more

“DIMORPHISM”
A SOLO EXHIBITION BY TERRY LEE DILL
September 6 – September 28, 2013
Opening Reception is September 6, 2013 (First Friday)
Artist’s Talk at 8:00 pm
Can a building be autobiographical? Yes, in the hands
of artist-architect Terry Lee Dill. For the past 20 years,
Mr. Dill has conceptualized fantastical buildings as
metaphors of his daily life. His drawings -- elaborate
creations of black ink and gold leaf, shot through
with imagery of nature, religion and desire -- are
constructions entirely for the mind to explore and
enjoy. There are hints of Dr. Seuss, M.C. Escher and Erich
Mendelsohn in this work. As a result, “Dimorphism” will
appeal to adults and children alike!
Terry Lee Dill worked after high school in heavy
construction on one of the first nuclear power plants
in the United States, as the assistant to the head of
structural engineering. He went back to school and
received first an associate of arts degree in architectural
engineering, then a B.F.A. in painting and sculpture
from Drake University with the help of the first art
scholarship awarded by that school. He earned both an
M.A. and an M.F.A. in sculpture from the University of
Iowa before he moved to New York City, where he won
three New York Foundation on the Arts Fellowships (the
first person to win such Fellowships in both sculpture
and architecture). He holds an M.A. in architecture
from Cranbrook Academy of Art, has taught at Detroit’s
College for Creative Studies, and has lectured on his
work at numerous universities, including Stanford, Yale
and Harvard. He continues to work on commissioned
art projects, developing new architectural concepts
including the design and fabrication of one of the
smallest houses in Los Angeles.
UNDER THE (INSPIRED) INFLUENCE
Friday, October 4 through Saturday, October 26, 2013
Opening Reception, First Friday, October 4 from 6:009:00 pm
What inspires an artist? Personal mythologies, guardians
and guides, spirits and ancestors, fairy tales, folklore,
music, dreams?
Eight artists were invited to share their stories and the
themes that influence their work and move them to
create.
Participating artists: Anita Andersons, Renee Dooley,
Mary Fortuna, Diane Hawkey, Leann Meixner, Juana
Moore, Kate Paul, Mike Sivak
This Exhibit is organized by Jeff Cancelosi.
The show will open in the Art House’s upper gallery with
a reception, 6:00-9:00 pm, Friday, September 6. There will
be an artist’s talk at 8:00 pm the night of the reception.
The show will continue through September 28 during
Art House gallery hours (Wednesdays-Saturdays, 1:005:00 pm). For additional information, call (248) 344-0497
or visit “http://www.northvillearts.org”. The Art House
