Twelve Score and Ten is conceived and directed by ARTFARM Executive Artistic Director Marcella Trowbridge with the ARTFARM Ensemble. In the piece, which will feature at least twenty actors, dancers, puppeteers, musicians and circus performers, the audience will be guided through the two beautiful and historic cemeteries and experience a series of immersive performances, rituals, connections and spectacle. The piece will reflect on the question, "What is a Life?" and how contemplating impermanence can point us towards living and loving well- now.
There are still opportunities to get involved with Twelve Score and Ten, either as a performer, backstage or front of house.

ARTFARM's new yurt is here for the community.
Come visit!
Thanks to a significant grant from the Quaker Hill Foundation, several generous individual donations, and the contributed labor of sooo many folks, we now have a 20' diameter yurt which will be used year-round for training, movement, circus, yoga, meditation and small rehearsals and meetings! Scott Kessel led the charge from start to finish, but over 20 folks contributed labor to the project, which began with laying the foundation and platform in early June and culminated in a yurt-raising party on July 16 under the leadership of Fern from Two Girls Farm and Yurts. We still need to install the woodstove, but for now the space is ready for work and play!
Women of Wisdom
was a unique, lovely and inspiring event held in the garden of the Middlesex County Historical Society on Saturday, June 27.
Seven local Octo(&nona)genarian women shared tea, treats and life experience with an audience of over forty, helping us all to gain perspective on our own lives and communities.
Women of Wisdom also celebrated the 25th Anniversary of ARTFARM's first public production - Shakespeare's Argument, which premiered in the Historical Society's Garden in 2001! Photo below by Ben Jordan.

COMMUNITY RITUAL
We recognize ritual as the origins of theater (the Theater of Dionysus), Ritual as container and marker of initiation and transition, Ritual as individual, joint and community space for healing and transformation.
Coming from an earth-based, mindfulness spiritual practice we are interested in the exploration of the nature of consciousness and holding space with and for other people to embark upon their own personal journeys.
ARTFARM leadership has been facilitating earth-based circles for over 30 years.
Keep your ear out for the next Community Ritual in your area (or contact us to craft one that serves you and your community).
CIRCUS FOR ADULTS
"Circus for Adults" is a chance for grownups to run away and join the circus in a fun, inviting, non-competitive environment. Ages 18-118, All levels are welcome, and no circus experience is necessary. Taught in rotation by veteran circus performers, directors and educators Allison McDermott and Naja Muller, you self-select where you want to put your focus, and work at a level that is comfortable for you.
