RAINED OUT RESCHEDULED DATES - PRESCOTT October 19 at 2pm - 5pm - SEDONA October 20 at 3pm - 5pm Bring your lawn chair to Prescott and Sedona this October to enjoy world class free outdoor performance. The festival features the acrobatic stilt dancing of The Carpetbag Brigade performing their new work “Flotsam & Jetsam”. The Festival also presents a mix of outdoor performance styles with guest artists: Driven by a passion for story and service Chase Archer has been connecting with audiences through juggling, flow arts and new circus theater for over a decade. Chase will present two mesmerizing self-devised creations. Meg & Thatcher’s “OK Apocalypse” aims to dress the wounds, set the bones, cool the fever and bring down the swelling of our collective trauma in the very midst of turmoil through story, song, poetry, movement and connection. The TBD Show Puppets comically satirize current living conditions poking fun at the follies of humanity. There will be spoken word performances from Mona Nyree and singing from Sasha Waddell plus other surprises. In the Prescott version of the Roving Wave Festival on October 19 Samantha Beasley of Bend Hot Yoga will present a free warm-up yoga class for festival goers starting at 2pm to get in the mood. About Carpetbag Brigade: True pioneers at the art of acrobatic stilt dancing, The Carpetbag Brigade masters a unique theatrical language in the delicate overlap of theater, dance and circus. Rising with beauty, falling with grace and conjuring ephemeral magic with the movement and action of their powerful bodies. Balancing intensely raw and precarious physical expression with sublime dramatic imagery, a Carpetbag Brigade performance fosters a sense of psychic intimacy, poetic dialogue, and mythic imagery.
