Pontine Theater Launches 45th Season With ‘Migraciones’
PORTSMOUTH — The Pontine Theater kicks off its 45th season with a performance of Migraciones by Paradox Teatro from August 26th to August 28th. Performances are scheduled for Friday at 7pm, Saturday at 3pm and Sunday at 2pm at 1845 Plains Schoolhouse, 1 Plains Ave, Portsmouth. Sunday’s performance will be followed by workshops by company members. Videos of the live performance will be available online starting September 2nd. Tickets for both live and online events are available at www.pontine.org.
Migraciones is a poignant meditation on the global migrant situation and evokes compassion for the global refugee crisis. Mexico resident Sofia Padilla and US resident Davey Steinman created Migrationes out of a shared fear of increasingly tight US-Mexico border restrictions and the possibility of losing their future together. “We needed to talk about this issue on the show and bring more attention to this issue,” Padilla said. I had to show people respect,” he said.
The production was developed with support from the Jim Henson Foundation and tours New England following a tour of Mexico. The New England Tour is funded in part by the greats of the New England Foundation for the Arts.
Arts Center hosts ‘An Evening with Tom Hindle’
Dover — From September 3rd to September 30th, the Art Center will be hosting an “Images of the Past…The Tom Hindle Collection” and a signing session for his new release “Dover, NH Through Time Volume” “With Tom Hindle”. Evening” will be held. 2” Saturday, September 10, 6:00-9:00 pm
Celebrating the 400th anniversary of Dover, New Hampshire’s founding in 1623, The Art Center showcases the Tom Hindle Collection.
The collection’s curator, Tom Hindle, is a prominent figure in Dover’s history. He taught classes at UNH, was a former president of the Historical Society of Dover, and was at one point in charge of the Woodman Institute, but Tom is best known as a local photographer, Atkinson. I have been in the photography business for many years on the street. Tom remains a mainstay in Dover taking pictures of the city he loves.
His keen interest in history and photography inevitably merged when he discovered the work of the city’s early photographers. Comprised of glass negatives, photographer’s notebooks, and antique cameras that he has collected and cataloged over the past 50 years, the collection has been diligently preserved by Hindle in a climate-controlled environment to ensure its longevity. Count over 100,000 objects stored in . For future generations to learn and enjoy.
This vast collection includes not only images of Dover’s past, but also those of Rochester, Farmington, Concord, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont and New York.
Throughout September, the Art Center will feature photographs of Hindle reproduced from original glass negatives that have never before been exhibited, representing the work of local and Boston-area photographers. Focusing on this exhibit from 1900 to her 1950s, Hindle chose to exhibit a variety of themes. Vintage images of Dover, Rochester and Portsmouth are set with exquisite ‘portraits’ of families, children, WWI soldiers, nurses and more, circa 1910. Even the old Jenny Airplane in Hampton Beach. “Trip” to explore the 1939 World’s Fair, 1920s Washington DC, Ogunquit’s fish shack, Joppa Flats’ clam shack, and more. Early Bathing Suits, 1910 York’s Short Sands, Rye’s original Farragut Hotel, and the 1930s Nouble Light and Bell Tower are all in the ‘On the Beach’ section. ‘Camp Fishing’ is of particular interest to outdoor enthusiasts and women who want to know how traditional camps were set up and what tools both fishermen and hunters used back then.
