The Longest Night: A Solstice Celebration
December 12th, 7:00 – 9:00 pm
The Portland New Church: 302 Stevens Avenue, Portland
fundraiser to benefit Southern Maine Pagan Pride and Beans, Leaves & Deities

The winter solstice, the longest night of the year. The light begins its slow return just as we enter the coldest part of our Maine winter. It is a time of physical bundling up and spiritual emergence. We are looking for performers to celebrate the light’s return. Dancers, singers, performance artists, poets…help us to welcome back the sun and help support two Pagan community groups, Southern Maine Pagan Pride and the Beans Leaves and Deities coffee talks.

Here are the guidelines:

1.Performances must be solstice themed (calling back the light, emergence from darkness, the story of a solstice myth, etc…be creative!). It can be dramatic, celebratory or silly but it must relate to the solstice in some way. All types of performance are welcomed (dance, singing, poetry readings (your own work), snow ball juggling, etc.)

2.Pieces are limited to 6 minutes in length.

3.It must be family friendly.

For those who have not seen the Portland New Church, it is an intimate space. There is a small stage area and we will be set up for floor performances as well. Seating will be in the ‘half round.’ The stage area would be great for acoustic musical performances, poetry reading or a solo dancer. We will have sound for playing recorded music for performers..

If you are interested please send an email to darkfollies (at) gmail (dot) com and include the following:

Your name:
Your performance name: (if a group please include the number and names of performers)
Email and telephone number
A short description of what you would like to perform and an estimate of the time length.

We’d like to have responses by October 24th.
