Our current Technical and Production maven, Anne Kearson, is moving on to greener pastures soon. As a result, we are on the lookout for a Technical Director. We have posted detailed information on the position on our employment page.
Thanks Anne, for your stellar work--we'll miss you!
Mark your calendars now--August 22. 8:30pm.
Those of you who attended the Stuart Dempster cistern concert during our 2007 Chamber Music Festival remember what a special performance it was. 45 second reverb. Surround sound on the lawn above the 4 million gallon underground water tank.
Well, we're upping the ante.
On the date that you have now marked on your calendar, Matt Kocmieroski, Walter Gray and Seth Krimsky (both of the Seattle Symphony), along with Stuart Dempster, will perform the landmark modernist work Atlas Eclipticalis, by John Cage.
Composed via star charts, Atlas Eclipticalis takes listeners on a journey. Listening to it within the context of the cistern, while looking at the stars? We feel this will simply be an incredible experience.
It's a free concert, and we hope you can join us. Learn more by visiting our performance page.
Centrum is pleased to announce that our Fort Worden partner Bon Appétit will be providing food service for our upcoming 2008 Summer workshops. Bon Appétit specializes in authentic, fresh, local, organic and sustainable offerings that include vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices.
Dining experiences at past workshops included a meal ticket that would be either punched or counted at the door. Beginning in 2008 Bon Appétit is providing swipeable meal cards. For those who have purchased a meal plan, these cards will be available at check-in inside registration packets that include name badges and program materials. Programmed according to the meal package purchased, they will either hold dollar amounts for three meals a day, or lunch and dinner only. If an attendee has registered for lunch and dinner only during a workshop, the card will only work at lunch and dinner services. Cardholders are free to use their meal card for more than one breakfast, lunch or dinner per day during the week, keeping in mind that it is programmed for a limited amount of prepaid meals. These cards will also serve as a discount card toward any purchase at Bon Appétit's Local Goods Café and Cable House Canteen during your stay.
Individual breakfasts, lunches and dinners can always be purchased separately by program attendees and their guests any time there is meal service offered. Local Goods Café in the Commons remains open throughout the day, serving espresso, baked goods, deli items, wine and beer. For more information about Bon Appétit visit www.cafebonappetit.com/fortworden.
Whether you are a workshop participant, performance attendee, donor, volunteer, resident, or interested observer, we hope you will take a moment to visit our new Facebook page.
Facebook allows each of you to connect with us and extend your experience at Centrum. Upload your photos and videos. Talk about your past or upcoming workshops, review performances and readings. In large measure, 'our' page is 'your' page.
So take a look, and let us know what you think. We're exploring whether or not to create specific social networking sites for each of our major program areas. What do you think? (Now you have your first discussion topic on Facebook.)
When we redesigned this site last year, we had a vision that at some point, we could invite community members to post/write for the site, sharing their passion with other members of the Centrum community.
That time is NOW!
If you are passionate about Centrum programs, and would like to share your knowledge and a sense of discovery with others, we want YOU. Please contact Keven Elliff at keven at centrum dot org for more information.
A quick update to let you know that we are still accepting applications for the second of our two Explorations middle school weeks. Our first session sold out, so this second week (March 16-21) is your last chance in 2008 to connect your middle school students with this program. For more information, visit our Explorations page, or contact Martha Worthley, at 360.385.3102 x120.
