SUMMARY:Bread and Puppet Theater Presents: The Essential Furthermore
DESCRIPTION:The Essential Furthermore draws on the German peasant rebellions of the 14 and 15 hundreds to address the need for insurrection against the status quo of planetary ecological collapse\, and hostility to the refugees created by natural and human-made disasters. The show demonstrates the power of mass political and social movements with massive dances in Bread and Puppet’s pedestrian expressionist “Lubberland” style\, building momentum as the piece grows into a polyvocal fugue on several crucial themes of the moment: totalitarianism\, extinction\, and “the normalization of the unthinkable.” \n-UMF Student Admission: Free (Reservations recommended: please reserve your free ticket by contacting Ann Bartges [ann.bartges@maine.edu]) \n-General Admission: $10-$25 (no one turned away for lack of funds)–Advance tickets available for purchase at Up Front and Pleasant Gourmet\, 157 Front St.\, Farmington ME 04938

SUMMARY:The New Commons Film Series: DAWNLAND
DESCRIPTION:The New Commons Film Series presents the 2018 Emmy-nominated documentary DAWNLAND\, a powerful exploration of the US government’s forcible removal of Native American children from their homes. As recently as the 1970’s\, one in four Native children nationwide were living in non-Native foster care\, adoptive homes\, or boarding schools. Many children experienced devastating emotional and physical harm by adults who mistreated them and tried to erase their cultural identity. DAWNLAND provides a space for them to share their stories for the first time.

SUMMARY:Nina MacLaughlin\, "The slow time of the hand: a writer’s life between water and wood"
DESCRIPTION:Having worked as a journalist throughout her twenties\, Nina MacLaughlin finds herself yearning for more tangible work\, and applies in response to a Craigslist ad seeking a carpenter’s assistant (despite having majored in Classics and not knowing the difference between a Phillips and a flathead screwdriver). To her surprise\, she gets the job\, commencing years of apprenticeship and a close working partnership with her boss Mary. Nina MacLaughlin’s transformation from desk-job-journalist to carpenter is the focus of her 2016 book Hammer Head: The Making of a Carpenter. Much more than a record of a job change\, Hammer Head thinks through questions about what makes work meaningful\, what it means to make things with our hands\, how to know what we need and want from our lives. \nIn this conversation\, Nina MacLaughlin will speak with us—and invite dialogue—about the relation between what we do with our hands and what we do with our minds. In ‘slow time’\, we live\, observe\, and think at the pace of our bodies and the materials they work with\, whether the water under a gliding canoe or the sure movement of a knife through wood becoming a spoon. How might working with our hands—whether making a spoon\, building a canoe\, renovating a house\, or writing—teach us to live our lives? Nina will draw on her long relationship with canoeing; her experience in carpentry\, carving and woodwork; and her writing practice to offer us a space of ‘slow time’\, in which to explore the fertile possibilities of the places where word\, wood\, and water meet. \nNina MacLaughlin is the author of Hammer Head: The Making of a Carpenter (Norton\, 2016) and Wake\, Siren (FSG\, November 2019). She grew up in Massachusetts and lives in Cambridge\, where she works as a carpenter. Formerly an editor at the Boston Phoenix\, she is now also the book reviewer for the Boston Globe. Her writing appears in the Believer\, Bookslut\, the Los Angeles Review of Books\, and elsewhere.

SUMMARY:Kerry D. Hebert Memorial Paddle
DESCRIPTION:The New Commons Project kicks off its programming for Fall 2019 and its consideration of the CANOE with a community paddle in tribute to the late Kerry D. Hebert. Kerry loved his CANOE. Each Spring he would take a run or two down Lemon Stream at high water. It’s a tradition he passed on to his children. Please join the New Commons Project for a paddle in honor of Kerry’s love of being on the water. Following the paddle\, there will be a potluck at the Starks Community Center and a reading by Robert Kimber of passages from A Canoeist’s Sketchbook.
