The Art of Seafaring choreographed by Madeleine Gregor and Co-Directed by Lauren Hlubny and Madeleine Gregor deftly weaves illustrative poetry, ballet tropes, contemporary movement, and theater into a work that is uniquely personal to all. In a monthly ritual spurred by the full moon, the crew details their journey through heartbreaking solos, passionately spoken poetry, intimate tableaus, and large group dances flowing like tides. In the center of the ship hangs an installation piece created by Port Townsend artist Tininha Silva. Beautifully weaving traditional sailing rope, hand dyed sari silk, jute, and items found on the beach such as dried seaweed, barnacles, and driftwood; the installation is a visual representation of the trials and tribulations the ship has undergone since setting sail
โthe broken hulk of a ship,
hung with shreds of rope,
pallid under the cracked pitch
they say there is no hopeโ
