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: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. From Caesar’s triumphant rise to the conspirators’ fateful decision and the chaos that follows\, Shakespeare’s masterpiece remains as urgent and compelling today as ever. \n“Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar gives us a profound and cautionary tale that the fight against tyranny can descend into tyranny itself. It is a timely reminder of the fragility of institutions and what we are willing to destroy when we ‘cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!’”- Julie Arnold Lisnet\, director. \nPerformance Schedule & Locations \nAll performances begin at 6:00 PM (Thursdays through Sundays)\nIndian Trail Park | Brewer\, ME\nJuly 16\, 17\, 18\, 19 and July 23\, 24\, 25\, 26\nRain Location: In case of inclement weather\, Brewer performances will move indoors to the Brewer Performing Arts Center (92 Pendleton St.\, Brewer). \nFort Knox Historic Site | Prospect\, ME\nJuly 30\, 31 and August 1\, 2\nRain Policy: Weather cancellations for Fort Knox will be decided by 4:00 PM. \nNote: All rain announcements will be posted on the Ten Bucks Theatre website and Facebook page the day of the affected show. \nTicket & Box Office Information \nAdmission: $15.00 for Adults / $10.00 for Students.

SUMMARY:Expanded Cinema at The Cannery
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.
