'Callings' at Rhythm Industry, Tucson 2014
The Carpetbag Brigade 

 

 Summer 2014

Greetings!

We have just spent a week together creating new material for "Callings" in Hopwood, Pennsylvania. We have been wanting to address a few aspects of the performance and took some time this June to add a new section at the end and the beginning of the piece. The satisfaction and challenge of continuing to work on a performance we have been doing for three years is an activity we embrace because of the richness it brings to the work. We hope we can share it with you this summer or in the future.

Our tour this summer includes presenting "Callings" at the Ko Fest in Massachusetts, at the Festival de Cirque du Dieppe in Moncton, New Brunswick, celebrating Canada's 150th Birthday at Prince Edward Island and performing at the Congres Mondial Acadien in Edmonston and Grand Falls, New Brunswick.

Additionally, we will be collaborating with Circus Stella and Desordes Poetique to create "The Robes of St. Anne", a large scale ambulant performance being produced by Co. Julie Danse at all of our Canadian tour destinations. Details below....

It is a rare to catch us in these parts so find us in Massachusetts or the Maritimes this summer....and I must say it is refreshing to be in the green of the northeast!



Be well

GLOBAL STILT CONGRESS

Global Stilt Congress 2014 passed "The Legislation" at Arcosanti on June 1st. This event synthesized diverse styles of stilting through the exchange of techniques and culminated in a site specific ambulant performance in the stimulating architecture of the world's premiere urban desert laboratory. A deep energetic engagement with practitioners in the field of stilt theater...keep your eyes open for Global Stilt Congress 2015!

CARPETBAG BRIGADE in Maritime CANADA

Hosted by Julie Co Danse and Circus Stella
in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island 

JULY - AUGUST 2014
One of the great treasures of working in the spectacle based-drama medium of acrobatic stilts is our ability to collaborate with different companies in different contexts. This year in July we will be collaborating with Circus Stella, Desordres Poetique and Co Julie Danse developing a performance entitled "The Robes of St. Anne" 

The research work will take place at the Beaumont Chapel along the Petitcodiac River near Moncton, New Brunswick. This ambulant outdoor spectacle-based drama will be presented at the Festival du Cirque de Dieppe, The 150th Anniversary of Canada's Birth at Prince Edward Island and the Congres Mondial Acadien during the Summer of 2014. 

The Carpetbag Brigade will also be presenting their repertory performance "Callings" during this time at the same locations. Please look below for further details.
