    Lynn Naden, Ellie Syth and Ann-Margret Wimmerstedt work on animal-themed costumes during a Wearable Arts workshop at Bunnell Street Arts Center on Oct. 4. They are preparing for Oct. 24’s “Animalia: A Wearable Arts Performance.” The event will feature a fashion show and performances displaying dozens of animal-themed pieces created by members of the community. Naden says Bunnell and the Fiber Arts Collective welcome anyone in the community to come and work on a costume during workshops each Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m. The deadline to submit a final piece is Oct. 19. Look for a preview of the show in next week’s issue of the News.At left a dress Wimmerstedt made from recycled materials hangs on a hook at the Bunnell Street Arts Center.

    Martty Zeller got his first taste of improv while visiting Vancouver, B.C., for a conference 30 years ago. His reaction: “Oh man, I wanna do that.” That experience gave birth to Homer’s own improv troupe, Fresh Produce. While Zeller found improv helpful in his law career, it’s been even more useful in his current field: mental health. Research shows the tools of improv can help people struggling to care for a family member with Alzheimer’s or schizophrenia. Rather than showing them the flaws in their connection with reality, improv is about going along with what your stage partner suggests — about saying “yes,” accepting their vision.

    Homer writer and photographer Christina Whiting captures a silhouette of a camel near the Dead Sea during a recent trip to Jordan. Whiting will share stories and photographs from that visit during a community slide show at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 23, at the Homer Council on the Arts. Writes Whiting:“Beyond Petra and the Dead Sea, beyond the deserts, the camels, the hummus and the hijabs, Jordan is a country with a rich, ancient culture, breathtaking natural beauty, spectacular drives, fantastic food and much more, but what makes this country so incredible, so inviting and so captivating, is the people. Jordanian hospitality is like nothing I have ever experienced, and the openness, warmth and caring that was shown to me will remain with me always. During this presentation, I’ll share images and stories from my time falling in love with this country and its people.”-photo by Christina Whiting
