Let the magic of the forest transform us into animals, trees and plants through mask making, storytelling and theatre.
Listen to ancient tales narrated by Midcoast Conservancy’s Nature Based Program Manager, Zoe Thomas, and acted out by willing participants. Gather natural materials to weave into a nature spirit mask that can change the wearer into a different being. Help turn these newly formed creatures into a story of our own and perform it among the trees.
Whether you love theatre or are too shy to speak, this program will be a delight for everyone. Participate as much or little as your heart desires, be reserved or flamboyant in your mask making, and enjoy an afternoon spent being creative among the trees. Kids can feel free to bring a costume piece or prop with them if they are so moved.
Parents are welcome to join in the fun or leave the children and head out for a hike sans kids, but they should return in time to see the final “performance”.
While this is a free event, we appreciate your registration which is essential for our planning.
All are welcome! Participants under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
