SUMMARY:Integrating Liberation into All We Do: How to not Recreate What We Are Resisting
DESCRIPTION:Why do so many peace\nmovements eventually become\ntools of state violence?\nWhat leads communities to repeat\npatterns\, even as they intend to\ncreate a visionary alternative?\nJoin us as we share what we in our community\nthink happens within human culture that leads\nto recreating what we are resisting and how\nintegrating liberation into all that we do – in\nnotetaking\, sharing money\, cooking dinner\,\nhaving meetings\, engaging with neighbors\,\ninteracting with the state – can help us to exit\nthese patterns. We’ll share with you a support\nstructure that can be immediately applicable\nwherever you are.

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:People-Nature-Art with Sculptor Spencer Tinkham
DESCRIPTION:Spencer Tinkham is a self-taught\, award-winning American wood sculptor and multidisciplinary artist known for creating intricate macro- and micro-sculptures of birds and wildlife from reclaimed and salvaged material. His paintings\, sculptures\, and installations explore perception\, ecological change\, and natural history. \nThe Gilley is thrilled to bring him to Maine in September as the museum’s People-Nature-Art presenter. While here\, he will be working with children in local schools. \nWorking with carved wood\, painting\, and installation\, Tinkham creates forms that move between realism and abstraction. Through scale\, repetition\, and material tension\, his work transforms patterns found in nature into physical encounters that connect biological form with human emotion. Rather than depicting the natural world directly\, the work shifts familiar forms into psychologically charged states\, inviting viewers to reconsider how they perceive and relate to the living world. \nThe ecological fates of birds and humans are intertwined\,” he says. “I share specific stories of birds as a witness to natural and manmade change. Their fragile beauty and unsung voices become magnified so as not to be missed by the careless eye.”

SUMMARY:Secret Mall Apartment (Documentary Screening)
DESCRIPTION:In 2003\, eight young Rhode Island artists created a secret apartment in a hidden space inside the Providence Place Mall and lived in it for four years\, filming everything along the way. Far more than just a wild prank\, the secret apartment became a deeply meaningful place for all its inhabitants – a personal expression of defiance against local gentrification and a boundary-pushing work of public/private art. Featuring never-before-seen footage of the space and revealing the identities of all the participants for the first time. (Run Time: 1 hr 32 min / Not Rated) \nAnd on Wednesday\, September 30th\, join us for all-ages collaborative art workshop led by Leah Smith and Michael Townsend (featured in the documentary) where we’ll make large scale tape art murals all over the library walls!

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.
