Join us for a walk in the woods!
In the winter of 2008, Open Waters conducted fifty-four interviews in five diverse Maine communities to discuss the past, present, and future of Maine’s woodlands. Choirspeak: The Maine Woods is an original performance event built from the edited transcripts of these compelling conversations. With this project, we strive to develop state-wide, arts-based dialogue around the monumental environmental change that many of our rural communities are facing. These workshop performances will include post-show audience/artists discussion. Our one outdoor performance will begin with a community walk in Baxter Woods. Please join us!
“I think of the Maine Woods as like my church. My most - God, I’m gonna cry! My most sacred place.” -Karolyn, Peru
“We’re not generating any money, in these small communities. Money needs to come in. - Matt, Millinocket
