The Panda Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) I was inspired by the 365 day movie challenge to try and take it to the next level. The purpose of this challenge is to expand your cultural view as a whole. The Rules 1.You can start any day (preferably this week so it's mostly a 2016 deal) 2.Every day of the year you must either wach a film, go to a play, go to an opera or musical, go to a concert, go to a recital, go to a ballet/dance performance, or go to an art/history museum/gallery (or something similar) 3.You may not do the same thing for an entire week. So you can't just watch films, you can however have 6 days be films and 1 day go to an opera. 4.You must read at least one novel, book, or novel length essay/essay compilation a month, it can't be something you read for a class. 5.During the year you must go to at least one "cultural showcase" a year that's outside of the town you live. The showcase could be a film festival, a museum, a gallery, a rodeo, etc. It's your choice, but its encouraged to be something you haven't seen/been to before. Keep track of it here! So far mine is Jan 1 - Film: Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) Jan 2 - Film: The Gift (2015) Jan 3 - Film: Kung Fu Panda (2008) Jan 4 - TV Show: Jessica Jones Episodes 1-7 Film: Mission Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) Jan 5 - TV Show: Jessica Jones Episodes 8-13 Film: Blade Runner (1982) Jan 6 - Film: Once (2007) Jan 7 - Film: Star Wars: The Force Awakens an IMAX Experience Jan 8 - Film: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) Jan 9 - "Gallery": Board Game Maker Meet Up Film: The Revenant (2015) Jan 10 - Film: The Station Agent (2003) Jan 11 - Film: Gravity (2013) Jan 12 - Film: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) Jan 13 - Film: Short Term 12 (2013) Jan 14 - Film: 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Bengazi (2016) Jan 15 - Convention: Winterfest Film: Creed (2015) Jan 16 - Convention: Winterfest Film: Norm of the North (2016) Jan 17 - Film: Ex Machina (2015) Jan 18 - Film: Jurassic World (2015) Edited January 19, 2016 by The Panda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
department store basement Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) This is rather daring. Are you sure you can do it despite your job? I certainly can't. Edited January 3, 2016 by department store basement 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly can't. Practically, it's a film 6 days a week, and something else once a week. Then add on a book a month and visiting something cultural on a vacation. I can get into a lot of free art shows, plays, recitals, etc. so it shouldn't be to difficult. It's just going out of my way to broaden my cultural view a bit.

Kalo Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I'm taking 17 credits hours for college starting wednesday and would have to drive probably an hour and a half sometimes to find a play/opera every week(I don't really like going to one that often either) wouldn't mind a concert but I'd probably be lucky If I found one I wanted to go to in my area once a month. and am also not made out of money right now so I can't ambitious though none the less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have time for a movie 1 day a week AT MOST. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try seeing if your university does plays or recitals. Obviously this isn't feasible for everyone depending on where you live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
