Port
Gamble, WA
New
Old Time Chautauqua
was
pleased as punch to be part of the
Great
Peninsula Future Festival
There
are so many things in our world that need attention
- sustainability, thinking local, healthy food, climate
change - and we think the important business of reeducating
ourselves needs to be fun, too. Mixed in with all the
interesting and innovative ideas at the GPFF, we offered
whimsy and humor through music, juggling, magic, aerial
performance, acrobatics and comedy.
The
New Old Time Chautauqua partnered with local non profit
organizations who are doing great things, such as community
gardens that donate their bounty to the local food bank,
animal rescue, environmental cleanup, supporting at-risk
youth and families, community radio, educational programs
for kids, and food co-ops.
We
were right to look forward to the Great Peninsula
Future Festival. It was great fun...

Aqua
Chautauqua sails the Salish Sea
Port Townsend, July 1, 2008
On
Saturday, July 19, the New Old Time Chautauqua will present
a day of community fun at Fort Worden's Littlefield Green
and McCurdy Pavilion.
From
1-4 PM, Littlefield Green will come alive with an Educational
Circus - a puppet show, circus skills funshops and nautical
workshops. You can learn to juggle, hula-hoop, perform acrobatics,
play samba rhythms, clown, or mystify friends with a magic
trick. Other activities include mask-making, trash fashions
made from recycled materials, quilting ("blankees" - for
local at-risk infants), and a song swap (bring your musical
instruments and songs). Maritime workshops include knot-tying,
sea chanteys, nautical storytelling, a Salish Sea historical
lecture and how to use GPS.
From
4:30-6 PM the community is invited to an old-fashioned Community
Potluck - a great opportunity to lay out a blanket, share
food and picnic with your neighbors, meet and chat with
Chautauqua performers and teachers in a relaxed atmosphere,
and enjoy the talents of local musicians.
In
the McCurdy Pavilion at 7 PM, The Flying Karamazov Brothers
will host a family-friendly, all the bell and whistles,
madcap evening of music, juggling, magic, acrobatics, clowning,
aerial acts and comedy. The show will feature legendary
folksinger Faith Petric, Hacki (winner of the European "Golden
Nose" award for clowning), lyrical aerialists Duo Madrona,
the Fighting Instruments of Karma Marching Chamber Band/Orchestra
plus many more of the multi-generational troupe.
The
evening show will benefit the Youth Education Programs of
the Northwest Maritime Center & Wooden Boat Foundation and
the New Old Time Chautauqua.
***
This
day of events will be the first in a series of Aqua Chautauqua
Tour stops. The journey will begin in Port Townsend and
end in Port Gamble, by way of Lopez, Waldron and Lummi Islands,
Bellingham, and Langley. Non profit partners will include
youth programs, Tilth and sustainability groups.
The
voyage is a unique Jefferson County partnership between
Chautauqua, Wooden Boat Foundation, and NW Maritime Center,
Puget Sound Explorer youth, local boats, captains and crew.
Chautauqua has been touring since 1981, but this is the
first time the journey will be on boats. "This is a great
tour - Chautauquans are excited about being on the water
and the Boat Folks are excited about running away with the
circus!" says Joannie Murayama, one of the organizers of
Aqua Chautauqua.
This
tour's plans began when Chautauqua was invited to be a part
of the Great Peninsula Future Festival, a sustainability
fair in Port Gamble. Paul Magid, one of the founders of
both Chautauqua and the Flying Karamazov Brothers, suggested
that Chautauqua do the whole tour by boat. Being an avid
sailor, Paul has long dreamed of putting Chautauqua on the
water.
Since
community-building, education and the well-being of children
are important issues to Chautauqua, a partnership with the
Puget Sound Explorers seemed like a great fit. Puget Sound
Explorers, a youth educational program of the Northwest
Maritime Center & Wooden Boat Foundation, partners with
Port Townsend and Chimacum Schools.
The
Wooden Boat Foundation's Wayne Chimenti had been working
on a boat voyage for the summer, and the Aqua Chautauqua
idea came at a perfect time. It seemed like a unique experience
of sailing, performing and living in a nomadic multi-generational
community (6 to 93 years old). Ten Puget Sound Explorers,
of middle and high school age, will sail two boats, the
Wooden Boat Foundation's Dorjun and Chimenti's Fellowship.
As part of Chautauqua's circus skill and educational workshops,
the Puget Sound Explorers will teach nautical workshops
- knot-tying, sea chanteys and maritime stories.
Chautauqua
has a personal interest in the Puget Sound Explorer program.
Several Chautauquans are alumni, including the Nanda acrobaticalists
Misha Fradin, Tomoki and Kiyota Sage. They learned maritime
skills such as map and compass reading, knot-tying, rowing,
sailing, and singing sea chanteys. They also learned about
the importance of teamwork, common sense, leadership and
responding quickly to change - valuable lessons for a performance
ensemble whose signature characteristics are precision,
instinct and innovation.
Chautauquans
Misha Fradin and Evan Neville credit the Puget Sound Explorers,
ICE and Pi school programs and, specifically, teacher Marci
van Cleve for "pushing them hard, with caring support".
It was Marci's support that "got them through high school".
Chautauqua
is honored to support educational programs such as Puget
Sound Explorers.
