Website: Motherland Songs's Website

Motherland Songs is a new, live theatre show from Ireland featuring classic songs of struggle and celebration with evocative projected images alongside thought-provoking spoken word. Irish singer and actor Edel Murphy performs songs from such songwriting greats as Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Nanci Griffith, Nina Simone and Kate Bush. Following extensive tours of the US, Europe and Asia as a vocalist with hit shows 'Celtic Woman' and 'Riverdance', Edel Murphy's new project brings you through the Dustbowl of the Great Depression, into the homes of 1950s urban desperation, down streets of protest in the 1960s and into the tumult of the 21st century. The show is a historical jukebox of memorable female characters, from the teenage runaway in 'She's Leaving Home' by The Beatles to Dolly Parton's infamous and misunderstood 'Jolene'. With new musical arrangements by Irish musician and producer Ewan Cowley, Motherland Songs is a night of 60s pop, jazz, country and indie-folk music by the greatest, and some less well known, performers and composers interspersed with poignant and socially relevant spoken word from such American, English and Irish poets as Sara Berkeley and Francis Ledwidge. The show debuted in Dublin, Ireland in 2019 and went on to tour nationally.

We are happy to do workshops / master classes. We can discuss repertoire and the poetry/spoken word of the show and its social relevance. We can also do vocal or instrumental master classes.

For a breathtaking hour, she embodies the "spirit" of Harriet Tubman from her early childhood to her elder years. Audiences share standing ovations, cheers and tears at this performance. Referred to as "Brilliant", Inspirational", Deeply Touching and "Beautiful to Watch" There are many plays about Harriet Tubman, but none share her entire life story like a visit with The Spirit of Harriet Tubman. Leslie McCurdy invokes the 'spirit' of Harriet Tubman as she portrays the life of the famous Underground Railroad conductor, recreating stories familiar and some rarely told, using words said to have been Harriet TubmanÂ¹s own. Through it all we learn of the faith and conviction that drove Harriet Tubman to follow her dreams; the spirit of the past connecting with the present, inspiring her charges to have the courage to do the same in envisioning their future.

SOUL OF LANGSTON - 1-Man Performance by Daron Porter Stewart as Langston Hughes. What would be of Hip-Hop if Langston Hughes never took to poetry, or of Civil Rights if the Harlem Renaissance never flourished? Soul of Langston reveals the bitter-sweet wit and wisdom of Langston's poetry; the tragedies and triumphs that constructed his life; and the worldwide impact of his literary accomplishments - going from busboy and poet to becoming "Harlem's Wonder" helping establish the Civil Rights movement through the Harlem Renaissance. The production explores Langston's poetic statement: "I too sing America...I too am America" and also poses the question to all, "What happens to a dream deferred? from Langston's famous poem. ARTS-IN-EDUCATION: Drama and Theatre can enhance learning by conveying information in a Lasting, Memorable Way! Students who are challenged with written demonstrations of content acquisition, sometimes find more success through artistic expressions of learning. Inspired by Hughes' influence on the Civil Rights Movement and modern Hip-Hop culture, Soul of Langston was developed to bridge a cultural pathway from the Harlem Renaissance to modern artistic expressions of activism and public discourse, targeting state, national and Common Core Learning Standards across several subject areas. Education: We offer a three and five-day, synchronous arts integration residency

The Mountain State has its Stage and the Prairie Home its Companion. Long Alaska nights gather folks at Parlor In The Round, a songwriter showcase with an improv twist! Three songwriters â€“ a national act, a â€œringerâ€ and a local â€“ are guided by host Kevin Worrell through rounds of songs, stories, and improv games for a night of leaned-in listening and laughing out loud. The show opens with the rules of play and artist introductions (and some light roasting) by our Oprah-meets-Bob-Barker host. Songwriting homework follows, making each show a debut of new works. After the intermission, tradition is cast aside as the musicians dive into collaborations, jocular inventions and premeditated musings all based on written submissions from the audience. In 2013 Anchorage-based songwriter Kevin Worrell was seeking a space for songwriters to be inspired, for the audience to be engaged and the venue to be supported. After 7 seasons (sold out since season 4) he found that Parlor In The Round creates a space that knits community closer through the novel experience of creating together. Parlor has featured Joan Osborne, Dan Bern, Steve Poltz, John Craigie, Peter Mulvey, Quinn Christopherson, Eric Howk (Portugal. The Man) and more.

Our contemporary dance shatters convention. Vibrant rhythms and powerful words weave tales of hardship and triumph, giving form and flow to our enduring humanity. Inspired by storied pasts, our journey constantly adapts into something new, provocative, and meaningful. There are decades of complexity in our expressions, yet there is also an abundance of joy and love. Entwined in our passion to dance is a deep purpose to spark change - both in ourselves and everyone we encounter. We see art as activism; the stage our canvas. Our ensemble a diverse palette of color and personality. We confront themes of injustice and oppression head-on and unapologetically. With intention in every step, gesture, and rhythm, our movements ignite a movement. Audiences immerse in our revelation, leaving wide-eyed and full of hope for the tomorrow that lies ahead.

The Community Ensemble is a unique opportunity for community members of various dance experiences to learn new choreography and perform in a professional dance production. Since 2018, the Community Ensemble program has pushed the role of artists in this political climate. Grounded in African Diaspora values, art is the activism of Rejoice! Diaspora Dance Theater. Community Ensemble members are asked to engage in discussions surrounding social justice, community building, and activism. Experience with dances of Africa and the African Diaspora is preferred but not required to be a Community Ensemble member. Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, whose stories are often untold, under-told, or told on their behalf, are strongly encouraged to apply and will be prioritized. Community Ensemble members begin with an overview of the production, major themes, and overall run of show. They meet the Rejoice! dancers and choreographers and embark on a journey together toward new steps, phrases, and choreography.

Using our sound system: with this option, we are 100% self sufficient and only need access to 1 grounded power outlet.

Trevor Panczak is an award winning country music entertainer who grew up north of Cutbank, Montana. His humor, smooth vocals, charming stage presence and energetic live show all contributed to him becoming the headline act he is today. This 6â€™6â€ â€œGentle Giantâ€ is a singer/songwriter with farm roots and country music in his blood. Trevor is approachable, kind and a community builder. He strives to bring people together through his music and spirit. Trevor offers an engaging, authentic country music set. He seamlessly entertains his way through original and cover material. His self penned tear jerking ballads â€œItâ€™s Ok Now" and his reflective "2000 Miles" as well as his mainstream Top 50 Country hits are crowd favourites. Trevor gets his audience involved with his banter and sincerely engages them right from the first note of his set. Sing-along songs such as John Denver's "Country Roads" show his country roots but a song like, "So Happy Together" profile that he embraces, more than just the country genre. Trevor's authenticity, talent and core values are synonymous with the spirit of country music and his professionalism, community mindedness, and approachability are some of the reasons audiences and event organizers come back for more.

Trevor and some or all of the band will perform a few songs at a school and speak to the youth about dreaming responsibly. The Q & A portion of the program is also well received by faculty and students alike. Trevor would also perform at seniors lodging.

Tomáseen Foley's A Celtic Christmas is an Irish music, song and dance show based around a beautiful Christmas story set in 1940s Ireland. At its center is Limerick native, Tomáseen Foley, who recreates the joy and innocence of a night before Christmas in a remote farmhouse in his native parish of Teampall an Ghleanntáin, when the neighboring families would gather around the fire to grace the wintry night with traditional Irish Christmas carols and raise the rafters with the joy of their music and knock sparks off the flagstone floor with traditional dances. Joining Tomáseen on stage are some of the finest exponents of Celtic music and dance from both sides of the Atlantic. Next year will mark the show's 28th year of touring. “Tom has the distinction of being the only artist the Craterian has presented for over 20 consecutive years...It took a global pandemic to interrupt the tradition. The program offers poetry, prose, song and dance. “It will certainly make you smile, and likely bring a tear to your eye,” Stephen McCandless, Executive Director of the Craterian Theater, Medford, OR.
