SUMMARY:Unlaunch’d Voices: an Evening with Walt Whitman
DESCRIPTION:Unlaunch’d Voices: an Evening with Walt Whitman. Conceived and performed by Stephen Collins\, Written by Michael Z. Keamy. \nUnlaunch’d Voices opens with the elderly Whitman on the evening of his seventieth birthday. The audience is a visitor in his room as he prepares for his birthday celebration. Whitman begins to reminisce and to question his success as a man and a poet. He tells us his work has proved to be “less than a failure….” He remembers a mystical experience he had in his thirty-seventh year that inspired him to write poetry. \nDuring the telling\, Whitman transforms into his young vibrant self and we begin to trace back along with him the experiences that led to the creation of Leaves Of Grass\, his lifetime work. The first part of the performance explores Whitman’s preoccupation with the self and his resolve to write with “free and brave thought…” We revel with him as he celebrates his body and himself and are confidants as he shares his struggle with his sexual self. In the second part of the performance\, Whitman’s life is changed forever by the occurrence of the Civil War. It is here that he finds “… the most important work of my life…” nursing the wounded soldiers in the hospitals. Through poetry and readings of actual letters\, we experience Whitman’s movement from selfishness and selflessness and his growth into a mature artist who is at peace about “himself\, God and death.”

SUMMARY:Rock the Blacktop
DESCRIPTION:Rock the Blacktop is a free community public art initiative at High Rock Middle School that invites 6th grade students to collaborate in designing vibrant pavement murals for their campus. Through a series of free guided\, hands-on workshops held on March 30\, April 6 and April 13 from 2:15–3:15 PM in the High Rock Cafeteria\, participants will explore the impact of public art\, develop site-specific designs\, and prepare for a community paint event where their creative ideas will come to life. Led by muralist and art therapist Tova Speter and public art administrator Charly Nanda\, the program welcomes students of all experience levels\, encouraging creativity\, collaboration\, and community engagement. All students and High Rock families will be invited to help with the actual pavement painting in May/early June\, weather permitting. This High Rock Community Paint Jam will be a fun and inclusive event for families. Rock the Blacktop is funded by the Needham Education Foundation and the Needham Council for Arts and Culture. Register students here by March 23. Space is limited.
