Nomadic Theatre "How to Fly"
In search of Amelia Earhart, Portland-based Nomadic Theatre Company will bring acrobatics, clowning, masks, dance and puppetry together in How to Fly for VAAâs Family Performance Series. Entertaining and educating audience members of all ages through nontraditional theatre since 2002, the Nomads promise the audience new heights in their quest to discover how to fly.
Sara Foster and Heather Pearl, both graduates of Californiaâs DellâArte International School of Physical Theatre created How to Fly by physically exploring numerous aspects and avenues on the topic of flight. The skilled duo incorporate humor and skill in their quest to discover Earhart, who disappeared while flying over the Pacific Ocean, and encourage audience members to be on the lookout for her during the performance. Meanwhile Captain Chicken learns to take wing, albatrosses dance on stilts and migrating geese turn upside down. Following the show, the artists will take questions and share secrets about how the show was created.
How to fly is the companyâs fifth creation. They have performed in schools and theaters throughout the Northwest and have run circus camps in the Portland area and as far as South Africa and Haiti. This will be their first performance on Vashon Island.
Thanks to our sponsors, Washington State Arts Commission and Island Thriftway for helping underwrite VAA Family programming.
