OFF CAMPUS DANCE PERFORMANCE: OF THIS PLACE, COLBY COLLEGE, GORDON CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS
Of This Place is a community-based performance project that surfaces and celebrates stories of Waterville, Maine, and Colby College, and sheds light on those people and places – past and present – who have shaped our communities in powerful ways. Directed by Matthew Cumbie, this new dance theater work is supported by the Arts Office and the Gordon Center Departments (Music, Cinema Studies, and Performance, Theater, and Dance), as well as the Colby Libraries and the Center for Arts and Humanities, and is being co-created with an interdisciplinary team of Colby faculty, staff, students, and local and visiting artists and scholars, including our own Tristan Koepke!

FILM FESTIVAL: PRESENCE IS POWER - AN EVENING OF INDIGENOUS SHORT FILMS, 4:30-7:30PM, MUSEUM OF ART
Immerse yourself in a wide variety of Indigenous short films alongside Bates Museum of Art’s current exhibition Exploding Native Inevitable. Mimicking a film festival, this one-night-only event presents the work of Indigenous filmmakers–including writers, directors, actors, and producers–making work today. All films were made within the last ten years and represent voices from tribes around what is today called the United States and Canada. Videos by artists represented in the exhibition, as well as many others not yet seen at Bates, create a rich night of programming beyond the museum and around the Bates campus.
