SUMMARY:Out of Africa
DESCRIPTION:Out of Africa is a 1985 American epic romantic drama film directed and produced by Sydney Pollack\, and starring Robert Redford and Meryl Streep. The film is based loosely on the autobiographical book Out of Africa written by Isak Dinesen\, which was published in 1937\, with additional material from Dinesen’s book Shadows on the Grass and other sources. The book was adapted into a screenplay by the writer Kurt Luedtke\, and filmed in 1984. \nThe film tells the autobiographical tale of Baroness Karen Blixen (Dinesen’s true name)\, portrayed by Streep\, and her time spent on a coffee plantation in East Africa in the early twentieth century. Blixen\, in the film\, marries Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke (Klaus Maria Brandauer) and moves with him to Africa. The marriage is most unsatisfactory as he is a womanizer who eventually leaves her to take care of the plantation on her own. The Baroness meets a hunter named Denys (Redford)\, and the two begin an idyllic love affair. \nThe idea of adapting the Dinesen’s memoirs to the screen had been thrown around for decades before the project was finally picked up by Universal Studios. (Orson Welles and David Lean had both considered making the film\, and Nicholas Roeg thought about making the film with Julie Christie starring as Karen.)  Sydney Pollack was the one to produce the film in the 1980s\, along with directing it. \n \nOut of Africa was filmed on location in Africa using descendants of several people of the Kikuyu tribe who are named in the book\, including the grandson of chief Kinyanjui who played his grandfather. Much of it was filmed in the Langata area near the actual Ngong Hills outside Nairobi. As Karen’s farmhouse was at the time of filming a part of a local nursing school\, the filming took place in her nearby first house “Mbogani”\, which is a dairy today. Her actual house\, known as “Mbagathi” is now the Karen Blixen Museum.  A substantial part of the filming took place in the Scott house and in a recreation of 1910s Nairobi built in an area of unoccupied land in Langata. \nThe film won 7 Academy Awards\, including Best Picture\, Best Director (Sydney Pollack)\, Best Art Direction\, Best Cinematography\, Best Adapted Screenplay\, Best Original Score\, and Best Sound.

SUMMARY:Stillson School of Irish Dance
DESCRIPTION:Irish Stepdancing continues to be a wildly popular art form for performers and audiences alike. Ogunquit Performing Arts celebrates this unique style of dance at this most appropriate time of year. The award-winning Stillson dancers\, returning to Ogunquit by popular demand\, will perform a brilliant array of jigs and reels\, dressed in a variety of dazzling\, hand-made costumes. \nThe performance will consist of both the fluid soft shoe style as well as the rhythmic hard shoe popularized by shows such as Riverdance and Lord of the Dance. \nAt the end of the performance\, the dancers will invite children and the young at heart to join them onstage to learn or try out some steps. A reception with refreshments will conclude the evening. \n \nThe Stillson School of Irish Dance is under the direction of the celebrated dancer/teacher Carlene Moran Stillson ADCRG/TCRG. She is accredited by Ad Coimisium in Dublin\, Ireland and a member of IDTANA (Irish Dancing Teacher’s Association of North America). Carlene has a long tradition of dancing having started at age 4. She has competed in the New England Regional\, North American\, and World Championships.\nIn existence for more than 20 years\, the Stillson School is the only certified school of Irish dancing in the state of Maine and its dancers compete all over New England and place in the New England Regional Irish Dancing Championships annually\, and in competitions around the world. \nIn addition to the dance performance\, Carlene Stillson will tell about the history of the dance and explain the reasons for the design of the many different costumes worn by the dancers. Traditional Irish dress is represented in the school dress which features embroidery designs taken from the Book of Kells. \nThe Stillson School of Irish Dance also has an active show team which has performed throughout New England as well as on the Elipse lawn of the White House. They have been featured dancers accompanying such renowned Celtic performers as Solas\, Cherish the Ladies\, Trinity Dance Company\, Liz Carroll\, Billy McComiskey and Mick Moloney\, and Eileen Ivers.
