SUMMARY:Maine Inside Out presents "Love is Alternatives to Incarceration"
DESCRIPTION:Maine Inside Out (MIO) initiates dialogue\, develops leadership\, and builds community across boundaries with collaborative original theater\, inside and outside correctional facilities. MIO youth inside of Long Creek Youth Development Center and in Maine communities of Biddeford\, Lewiston\, Portland\, and Waterville create original theater as a tool for social change. \nMIO’s outside community group\, comprised of members from our Biddeford\, Lewiston\, and Portland groups\, is currently touring “Love Is Alternatives to Incarceration” (Love Is). Love Is premiered as a collaboration with Portland Outright on November 8th\, 2017 to a sold-out crowd at USM’s Hannaford Hall. The performance includes a short film\, live performance\, and audio recordings of poetry by currently incarcerated member of MIO and Portland Outright. \n“Love Is Alternatives to Incarceration” interweaves multiple narratives of young people outcast from their home\, school\, and community and placed into systems designed to separate them. The play documents how\, despite these boundaries\, they create connection and community with each other. It is a call to action to love and care for each other more boldly. 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.

SUMMARY:Tai Chi Chih & Qigong
