The event is free and open to the public\, thanks to the generous support of Schooner Estates\, TV5MONDE\, The Quebec Delegation in Boston\, the Hilton Garden Inn\, Auburn Riverwatch\, and Severin and Cynthia Beliveau. \nBirth of a Family follows siblings Betty Ann\, Esther\, Rosalie and Ben – four of the 20\,000 Indigenous Canadian children taken from their families between 1955-1985 to be adopted into white families or live in foster care. As the four siblings piece together their shared history\, their connection deepens\, and their family begins to take shape. \nWe had previously advertised another film for 3/25\, but due to a last minute and unforeseen licensing issue\, we were not able to show it. Consequently we have opted to present this very moving documentary about people who were affected by the “60’s Scoop.” If you have seen conflicting advertisements we apologize! \nFor more information or to register to attend this event in-person\, contact the FAC archivist\, Anna Faherty\, at anna.faherty@maine.edu\, or by phone at (207) 753-6545. If you have questions about disability access or need to request disability accommodations (e.g. sign language interpreters\, materials in electronic format\, etc.)\, please contact Anna. Requests should be made as soon as possible to allow sufficient time for the accommodation process.

The performance invites contemplation of the wonder and enormity of the cosmos and attempts to highlight the connections between art and science. \nFor some in the audience it can be a meditation\, for others an active listening and perceptual experience. This event invites listeners to sink and settle into an evolving musical and visual journey. \nThe music\, conceived and performed by Tom Luther\, is inspired and informed by the changes in the Earth’s orbit from a single year to the large scale 100\,000 year cycle. While falling into the general category of “Ambient” or “Space” music\, Luther has drawn on his experience as an improviser\, composer\, and pianist to extend at the conventions of the genre. \nThis year’s program is focused on the idea of the slow change of polar orientation caused by the tilt of the earth and the effect on its orbit. Luther explores offset patterns of rhythm and shifting melodies to reflect the slow change of direction.

For some\, this will be a new challenge and like stepping outside their comfort zone; however\, everyone should feel supported during this brave step so it feels both personally and creatively fulfilling\, as well as productive. Each artist needs to gather information individually to continue developing their puppet pieces and to feel empowered outside the classroom. \n\nABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:\nSarah Frechette is an award winning puppetry artist\, teaching artist and stop-motion animation fabricator. As art director for PuppetKabob\, she produces original programs\, tours internationally and received the prestigious UNIMA-USA citation of excellence for her Vermont based solo show “The Snowflake Man”.
