October 1-3: Magical Rain Theaterworks Workshops and Performances
Magical Rain Theater Works blends Hispanic myths, histories and legends to convey life lessons and entertainment. Irene "Ike" Vasquez is a performing artist and co-owner with her husband, Dan Runyan. This Michigan company uses storytelling, theater, performance, poetry and theater games as an experimental way to "bring medicine to the heart as a fresh rain comes to nourish rich soil."
"[Their] work …is transformative. I mean, lives are changed in [their] presence," says Kathleen Hudson of Schreiner College in Kerrville, Texas. "Their presentations are both educational and entertaining, magical but realistic… and bring to life messages and concepts that linger long after the curtain closes," noted Gloria Vaquera, Assistant Director of Admissions at Western Michigan University.
Included is an Aztec myth from the peoples of Mexico done in black light with glow-in-the-dark props. Workshops earlier in the day will help family participants learn the black light scene from the play and become part of the show, if they wish.
Workshops:
7 pm Friday, 4 pm Saturday and 11 a.m. Sunday
45 minutes each; theatre games, cultural storytelling and black light choreography, family participation
Performances:
Saturday 2 pm and 7 pm, Sunday 2 pm
They are designed to encourage audience participation during the black light portion.
The children who participated in the workshop will be invited on stage and folks pulled from the audience.
Admission: Adults $5; children free
October 2: 10 a.m. La Bamba at the Bijou Theatre. Cost: $2. FMI 541-994-8255
October 9: Frida - the feature film at Bijou Theater at 11AM. The movie centers
around Frida Kahlo de Rivera, a Mexican painter born in Coyoacán. Her
work has been celebrated in Mexico as emblematic of national and
indigenous tradition, and by feminists for its uncompromising depiction
of the female experience and form. Cost: $2. FMI 541-994-8255
October 16: Rich Glauber: Music in Action October 16, 2010 at 2PM & 7PM at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Tickets are $5 each, kids 12 and under get in for FREE!
Glauber is a gifted troubadour/music educator who specializes in creating interactive musical experiences for participants of all ages. His performance called 'Music in Action!' is an upbeat mix of songs, creative movement, story telling and comedy, all imbued with a healthy dose of good, clean fun.
Using guitar, voice and his special, antique accordion (named Syd), Glauber effortlessly places the group into the palm of his hand, then conducts a free-wheeling celebration of community spirit and youthful enthusiasm. Many of his songs are action-oriented, with opportunities for high-energy movement and creative expression. "Bizzy Bugs" is a reggae-flavored tribute to the insects that 'help the world go round'. "Hit the Lonesome Trail" becomes an impromptu square dance, complete with smiling faces, clapping hands and skipping to the beat. "We had a party at the library", was one child's offhand comment. |

Summer Kite Festival |

Lincoln City, named by Kitelines Magazine as one of the best places to fly kites in North America, celebrates with three kite festivals each year, two outdoors and one indoor.
Situated on the 45th parallel, Lincoln City is positioned at the ideal point for mixing warm equatorial air and cold polar air, which creates ideal winds for outdoor flying. In addition, the clean air flowing directly off the ocean is preferred by kite flying experts, and novices will see a difference in their abilities as well. Demonstrations, competitions and other great fun in the summer sun.
