SUMMARY:Portland Swing Project featuring Hadacol Bouncers
DESCRIPTION:Join Portland Swing Project for live music and swing dancing in the Square! This month\, Hadacol Bouncers will perform. \nPortland Swing Project spreads the appreciation of swing music and dance through weekly classes and events for all levels of experience. We teach\, dance\, perform and provide live and DJ’d music to venues throughout Maine. Absolute beginners welcome\, no partner needed. \n“The Hadacol Bouncers formed in the summer of 2013 for a Portland\, Maine Swing Dance festival and have never looked back.  A Chicago and New Orleans-syle dance band\, they have continued their close association with the dance crowd and are always looking to play for dancers. The group is a joint effort by co-band leaders Tom Whitehead (piano) and Peter Dunphy (banjo). Tom has a multi-style background in blues\, New Orleans R&B and bebop piano. Peter has been playing New Orleans and Chicago-style jazz since he was fourteen. For the Hadacol Bouncers\, Tom and Peter handpicked some of their favorite musicians from the Portland and Portsmouth jazz scene. Like any band of this size\, there are several players who rotate in and out\, but the following are the established core.” \n  \nPortland Swing Project hosts swing dances in Congress Square Park every third Friday from May through August. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Make Music Not War
DESCRIPTION:Make Music Not War is an evening with Raging Brass and Primo Cubano\, celebrating peace. \nRaging Brass is a 7-piece band collectively creating Afro-Caribbean music. They are a brass-roots dance band following the musical migration from West Africa to Cuba\, Jamaica\, and Brazil with the spirit of New Orleans. \nThis eclectic group was established in 2014 by trumpeter and bandleader Marc Chillemi in Southern Maine.

SUMMARY:Maine Inside Out presents "Love is Alternatives to Incarceration"

Themes addressed include: youth incarceration\, homelessness\, school discipline and school to prison pipeline\, racism\, substance use\, family separation\, social stigma\, trauma\, support\, resilience\, and love. \n \n

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.
