SYRUP 2015
6th ANNUAL ONE SWEET PERFORMING ARTS FESTIVAL
Performances: March 21, 2015, Memorial Hall, Shelburne Falls MA – the First Day of Spring!
3 pm: Piti Theatre Company’s Innocenzo, a musical-clown world premiere for all ages
3 pm: Piti Theatre’s “Innocenzo“ with special guests from Ballet Renversé
“The play was superb. As a journalist, I started out, in Connecticut, as theater critic. As a great deal of Connecticut is in the orbit of New York, the audiences are used to very good theater, so, in order to pull in the crowds, the Connecticut theaters have to do good work . . . Thus, I have some background with which to judge what you’re doing. The play captivates the school-age audience (especially by drawing them right into the performance). The adults were obviously not simply watching their children being entertained and instructed but — and this was as much a part of the show as what was happening on stage — were equally drawn into the story. This simultaneous appeal to two vastly different age groups is an impressive success in confronting something that is extremely difficult to achieve and rarely as successful as what you have done.”
– Robert James Parsons, Independent Journalist, Geneva
4 pm: Extended Intermission: syrup tasting, complimentary Real Pickles, raffle, baked goods and syrup-themed treats around the Village
5 pm: Nimble Arts
“The Nimble Arts Troupe. . . is not. . . just a bunch of jerks tossing themselves around on ropes & such, but rather a bunch of seriously excellent performers tossing themselves around on ropes & such.”
~ The Valley Advocate
“If you haven’t seen their show, you should. This is the real deal.” ~ Jacques Rapide, Paris Times
SCHEDULE: SUNDAY, MARCH 22
Nimble Arts Workshops at Buckland-Shelburne Elementary
2 pm: Aerial Silks (limited to 12 participants, ages 7 and up – FULL)
Try out this beautiful aerial apparatus of soft fabric slings on lengths of (very strong) fabric. The apparatus is hung low to the ground so anyone can try hanging upside down or climbing and exploring graceful shapes and skills. This is the most accessible of the aerial circus apparatus and truly ‘anyone can do it’.
3 pm: Juggling (limited to 30 participants, ages 7 and up) & Repeat Aerial Silks (limited to 12 participants, ages 7 and up who did not attend the 2 pm)
Learn how to manipulate objects from scarves that are easy on little hands to balls and more complicated objects. We’ll play with fun skills that can be taken home with you as well as a new form of ‘site swap’ juggling that is sociable and fun for all ages.
Workshop Fee: $10 each, email info@ptco.org or call (413) 625-6569 to register. Walk in space available for juggling and most likely for Aerial Silks at 3 pm.
