SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Tai Chi Chih & Qigong

SUMMARY:Figures of Speech presents "The Art of Memory" film & Puppetry Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Figures of Speech Theatre for a screening of “The Art of Memory: Stories from Maine’s Outer Islands\,” a shadow puppet film based on oral histories gathered on some of Maine’s most remote islands. Following the 35-minute film\, audience members of all ages will be invited to peek behind the scenes before creating live shadow scenes of their own stories! \n \nFigures of Speech Theatre partnered with the Island Institute to produce “The Art of Memory.” Director of Education at Figures of Speech\, Ian Bannon\, led a team of four artists as they collaborated with students in six of the one- and two-room schoolhouses off Maine’s coast. In the spring of year one\, Bannon travelled to each island to introduce students to documentary techniques\, which they then used to cull stories from other island residents\, historical archives\, and publications. The entire artistic team returned that following fall to collaborate in the creation and filming of shadow puppet adaptations of their favorite stories. \nThe resulting 35-minute film combines a variety of shorts ranging from pirate stories to tall-tales to ill-conceived stand-offs with Abenaki Native Americans. The pieces are held together with a layered dreamscape of shadow imagery\, narration from some of Portland’s most sought-after voiceover artists\, and a captivating original musical score by Dave Noyes of Rustic Overtones. \n  \nFigures of Speech Theatre\, a puppet theater company founded in Freeport in 1982\, is the recipient of four coveted UNIMA Citations of Excellence—the highest distinction in American puppet theatre. The company has toured all over the world – from Sofia\, Bulgaria to Tokyo\, Japan\, to Lima\, Peru – while retaining a strong commitment to teaching and performing throughout its home state of Maine. \nThe Island Institute works to sustain Maine’s island and remote coastal communities\, and exchanges ideas and experiences to further the sustainability of communities here and elsewhere. The Institute’s Outer Islands TLC (Teaching and Learning Collaborative) improves the quality and ensures the sustainability of one- and two-room island schools on Cliff\, Cranberry Isles\, Frencboro\, Isle au Haut\, Matinicus\, and Monhegan by creating collaborative educational and social opportunities for students across islands via technology and face-to-face learning opportunities. \n“The Art of Memory” was made possible through the generous support of the Helen & George Ladd Charitable Corporation\, the Expansion Arts Fund ofthe Maine \nCommunity Foundation\, and the Maine Arts Commission\, an independent state agency supported by the National Endowment for the Arts. \nFor more information regarding the film\, visit www.figures.org/memory. To find out about similar educational and artistic opportunities\, contact Ian Bannon of Figures of Speech Theatre at (207) 865-6355 or ianbannon@figures.org.

SUMMARY:Tai Chi Chih & Qigong
DESCRIPTION:Take an hour out of your busy week to enjoy a free Tai Chi Chih/Qigong class. \nTai Chi Chih (pronounced tie chee cha) is like moving meditation. It consists of 19 movements and one posture. \nTai Chi Chih creates an awareness of and influences dimensions of our being that are not part of traditional exercise programs. It’s a non martial form of Tai Chi that increases the life force or vital energy that flows through us and all things in the universe. Various studies from Harvard Medical School and UCLA cite the many benefits of regular practice. \nClasses will be taught by Raymond Reid or Sara Leonard. \n  \nTai Chi Chih/Qigong classes will be taught in Congress Square Park in May through October\, excepting July. All classes will occur weekly on Wednesdays from 10 until 11 am.

The Throwdown has moved to Congress Square Park and it’s now an all-out dance party! View last year’s Thriller Throwdown on YouTube. \n\n\n\n \n\nGather in the square and watch our zombies re-create Michael Jackson’s iconic video\, then stay for a Halloween-themed dance party!\n\n\n\n\n \nIf you want to participate in the Thriller performance:\n\n\nThe dance party is free and open to the public. If you’d like to be trained to be a part of the Thriller Throwdown version of Michael Jackson’s classic music video\, you can sign up for classes at Avant Dance and Event Center.
