SUMMARY:Save Our Summits Hike
DESCRIPTION:Hike to one of Acadia’s iconic summits AND help Acadia National Park’s efforts to restore native vegetation! \nAcadia National Park\, in collaboration with Friends of Acadia and Schoodic Institute\, invites tenacious hikers to bring bags of soil to the summits of Penobscot and Sargent Mountains to be used for plant restoration. You’ll get to choose how much soil you’ll carry – carrying as little as five pounds (about the size of a large freezer ziplock bag) is a huge help! This soil is integral to the ongoing summit restoration efforts in Acadia National Park. \nAdvanced registration is required for this event. Please register at https://friendsofacadia.org/soilhero

SUMMARY:Underwater Opera Youth Theatre Camp
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to our “first ever” week-long Youth Theatre Camp. This camp is centered on Smithereen Farm and Greenhorns’ Reversing Hall Agrarian Library and led by a group of young and highly motivated theatre professionals from New York and California who share our ethos of bioregionalism\, self determination and youth empowerment. \nAt the heart of the camp is holistic\, uninhibited creativity. In the incredible marine and riverine habitats of our area\, children will find natural inspiration to create their own theatrical performance about the eco-system. Your child will learn creative skills by helping build an artistic community and immersing themselves in an environment of rivers and bays\, of seas and beaches\, barrens\, and bogs.\nGuided by instructors with backgrounds in theatre\, clowning\, and education\, your child will learn the basic elements of theatre through daily acting\, singing\, movement\, and improv classes. Each day will be filled with outdoor excursions in which your child will integrate their learning by singing to the trees and dancing with the water. The day camp will culminate in a final showcase for friends and family — a student-driven show that utilizes an incredible handpainted underwater backdrop created by the Artists’ Rapid Response Team during the www.ForAlltheFish.org campaign earlier this spring.\nAll are welcome to join us for the performance at the end: a youth-led tale of the marine heritage\, comedy/tragedy\, prospects and particularities of this place and moment in time. Amidst theatrical instruction and show development\, students will learn about the ecological history of their area through guided study at Greenhorns Agrarian Library. We’ll learn from atlases\, field guides\, indigenous accounts of encounters with settlers\, from wild food cookbooks\, as well as many other formats. We’ll focus on cod\, pollock\, alewives\, sardines\, clams… all will inspire the costumes and set design.\nWant to bring the whole family? We can help you find accommodations if needed. \nUnderwater Opera is designed for youth ages 7-13 and meets during the day only. Cost is $640 for the full week which includes lunch.

SUMMARY:SUMMER GLIMMERS WORKSHOP
DESCRIPTION:When life feels heavy or overwhelming\, it can be hard to notice what’s good. You’re not alone; our brains are naturally wired to scan for stress rather than joy.

SUMMARY:Shakespeare Under the Stars: Julius Caesar
DESCRIPTION:“Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.”\nSet in ancient Rome yet resonating strongly with modern audiences\, Julius Caesar explores the consequences of political unrest and personal conviction through unforgettable characters and powerful language.

SUMMARY:Expanded Cinema at Bon Vent Cider
DESCRIPTION:Chicago rap artist and electro-noiser AQ comes to Maine\, re-uniting with 16mm film manipulator George Schaefer (photodeath_) for some deep sonic and visual experimentation. Joined in the zone by fellow Chicago sound man Nick Yeck-Stauffer on horn and electronics\, this program promises the spectrum of sights in a mesh of aural landscape that has defined this collaboration through a decade of work. Performances occurring Friday\, August 21\, 630pm at Bon Vent Cider in Hancock\, and Saturday\, August 22\, 630pm at The Cannery in South Penobscot. \nAQ\, most known for rap\, began collecting vinyl\, practicing turntablism\, DJing\, and making beats in the late 90’s. He dove into noise via an interest in the vintage electronics that made early hip-hop and house music\, often incorporating loops\, scaratches\, grooves\, and occasional raps into performances. He is currently a Dark Matter Resident at Elastic Arts. Hear more at aq-il on bandcamp or mraquil on youtube. \nNick Yeck-Stauffer is co-founder of Midwaste Records and a noise sesh trumpeteer on numerous jams and recordings\, recently sounding out on the road in Japan. He and George and crew ran Midwaste Space Peoples\, an independent project and performance space in E Garfield Park\, Chicago noted for experimental electronics and bass. \nPhotodeath is the moniker of Sullivan artist and builder George Schaefer. His film work primarily involves 16mm\, hand-manipulated and tape-spliced\, constructed as loops and longer-form montage. His monstrous little films project is a changing corpus of found\, acquired\, constructed\, and photographed 16mm\, on multiple projectors with processed sound.
