SUMMARY:Obsessed with Light
DESCRIPTION:Discover the life Loie Fuller\, the world traveler whose innovative choreography set the course of 20th century dance in this award-winning documentary. Open to all\, donations appreciated. \nObsessed with Light pulls back the curtain on Loïe Fuller (1862-1928)\, a wildly original performer and choreographer who propelled herself into swirling abstractions of dance\, fabric and movement that made audiences gasp. She even pioneered the ingenious use of electricity for the stage\, even building a glass floor so that she could be lit from below. Anyone who has been to a rock concert by artists like Red Hot Chili Peppers or Taylor Swift has seen a modern version of her lighting designs. \nThis 2023 film by Sabine Krayenbühl and Zeva Oelbaum features the Tony and Emmy-winning American actress Cherry Jones as the voice of Loïe Fuller and the choreography of Jody Sperling. \nObsessed with Light is a film about transformation. It is about a Midwestern vaudeville performer who performed with Buffalo Bill before becoming a world-famous star of Belle Époque Paris. Fuller captivated audiences with her elaborate productions of ephemeral\, shape-shifting abstractions. It’s about a woman\, described by contemporaries as “odd and badly dressed\,” who transformed herself into the “Fairy of Light” onstage during the Art Nouveau movement. It’s about a woman who became famous on her own terms– unapologetic about her body type and open about her sexual preference. And it’s about a visionary artist who disrupted the prevailing notions of dance and the imagined limits of the human body. Lastly\, the film is about a lost modernist whose story is crucial to understanding both early cinema and performance. \nWatch the trailer at www.obsessedwithlightdocumentary.com. \n

SUMMARY:Tenacious Women: Profiles in preservation in New England
DESCRIPTION:At the forefront of New England’s preservation movement were women bringing a passion for preservation to the communities where they lived. Yet\, somehow\, these tenacious women’s history is often overlooked or lost from the record. This lecture will trace women’s participation in preservation through the late 19th and early 20th centuries and elevate their contributions in preserving New England’s history. \nElizabeth Paliga brings us these stories. She is a Preservation Services Manager at Historic New England\, bringing a background in architectural conservation and history. \nThis Speaker Series event is free and open to the public\, thanks to the Sippican Historical Society members. Donations are always appreciated.

SUMMARY:The Drawings of H. H. Richardson
DESCRIPTION:H. H. Richardson (1838-1886) was a prolific architect whose shingle-style cottage approach is visible in many late 19th-century houses in Marion. For the first time\, we can explore his impact on American architecture in Henry Hobson Richardson: Drawings from the Collection of Houghton Library\, Harvard University (Monacelli Press / Phaidon 2024)\, by Jay Wickersham\, Chris Milford\, and Hope Mayo. The authors will discuss the Richardson drawings\, and what they reveal about collaboration in his studio. \nThe book presents full-color reproductions of 450 sketches and renderings by the architect and his studio assistants. The book includes more than 50 projects\, including such masterpieces as Boston’s Trinity Church; the Marshall Field Store and Glessner House in Chicago; five buildings for the Ames family in North Easton\, MA; and a series of masterful Shingle Style houses\, including the Percy Browne house in Marion. \nJay Wickersham is an architect\, lawyer\, and architectural historian and a former professor in practice at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Chris Milford is a partner in the architectural firm of Milford & Ford Associates\, specializing in historic preservation and restoration. Hope Mayo is the former Philip Hofer Curator of Printing and Graphic Arts at Houghton Library.

SUMMARY:The Story of Sarah Kidd - Daphne Palmer Geanacopoulos
DESCRIPTION:Before he was executed in 1701\, Captain William Kidd was one of the most notorious pirates to prowl the seas. But few know that he had an accomplice back home: his wife\, Sarah\, a woman whose life is a lesson in survival\, resilience\, and resourcefulness. SHS is pleased to present historian and journalist Dr. Daphne Palmer Geanacopoulos\, who tells Sarah Kidd’s story. \nIn her book\, The Pirate’s Wife\, Dr. Geanacopoulos takes a fresh and feminist perspective  on a historical period that’s often written around men. Utilizing a trove of original documents\, Dr. Geanacopoulos reconstructs Sarah’s life (1670-1744) in New York – when the colony was a pirate haven – her roles as wife\, mother\, merchant\, and socialite\, and delves into the swashbucklingly nasty politics of the time. She was key to Kidd’s fight for his life against the people who accused him of turning from privateer to pirate\, and was even initially arrested and jailed with him.  Sarah went from socialite to fugitive and international outlaw\, and back again\, always managing to find her own agency within the oppressive structures of colonial America. \nDr. Daphne Palmer Geanacopoulos is a historian\, journalist\, and author of The Pirate Next Door: The Untold Story of Eighteenth-Century Pirates’ Wives\, Families and Communities. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times\, the Washington Post\, Southern Living. \nYour kind RSVP  is appreciated.
