ABOUT THE SHOW!
Peter Donaldson's performance is a spellbinding work of theater. It's a one man show with everybody in it; a delightfully disturbing tapestry of homespun economics, character insight, and astounding freehand cartography. At one point, Mr. Donaldson's on-stage persona, Cyrus Jackson, draws the entire map of the bioregion naming a hundred rivers. From memory! With good humor, good science and audacious storytelling, Salmonpeople is an utterly delicious, head-scratching lesson in how the real world works. Writer, director, performer Peter Donaldson is a master storyteller. Salmonpeople reaches all ages, everybody's bottom line, and one big landscape. Don't miss this private showcase performance. Get a taste this year so we can bring Salmonpeople back for a full run in 07 or 08!
"Performance after performance, Peter walked onstage, sucked everyone in, and didn't let them go until after the standing ovation." - Scot Whitney, Artistic Director, Harlequin Productions, Olympia Washington
"I was riveted, wanting to see where the story was heading. The story unfolds in layers like an onion skin, each layer revealing deeper and deeper meaning. Salmonpeople is an utterly original and intelligently crafted work of art. It was a very moving experience." - Joanne Day, Fisheries & Oceans Canada
"Brilliant performance! Peter connects with an audience in a most profound and unique way - one that fills each with the feeling that he is talking directly and perhaps, only, to him or her." - Toni Sar'h Petrinovich, Whidbey Island
In 2005, the Salmonpeople Tour reached 1,734 audience members through 13 performances in four cities, two states and the province of British Columbia, 3,995 youth through seminars, assemblies and conferences, 175 teachers, and 30 community leaders through workshops on sustainability indicators.
In the fall of 2006, the Salmonpeople Tour will come to Victoria, Comox, Burnaby, Mt. Vernon, Portland and Tillamook.
THE PLAY'S THE THING!
Every fall the performance of Salmonpeople tours a new region of Salmon Nation engaging new communities in the possibility of sustainable prosperity.
The tour introduces the great story of our bioregion, Salmon Nation
The tour catalyzes local coalitions for sustainable prosperity
The tour empowers local coalitions to employ sustainability indicators
The tour links academic excellence in our schools to measurable sustainable prosperity in our communities; kid report cards - community report cards
The tour passes along success stories among sister watershed communities
The story of sustainable prosperity becomes a virtuous cycle.
A WATERSHED MOMENT
The story we are currently living is shifting in exciting ways from the last days of the industrial economy to the early days of the sustainable economy. This is our time! Sustainable technologies and market-driven innovations are rapidly catalyzing a new maturity in business, governance and citizen behavior. All around us the new story of sustainable prosperity is emerging and modern day storytellers in all forms and at all levels have a crucial role to play in getting the word out.
"Nothing compares to the journey I experienced attending a performance of Salmonpeople. There seems to be a layer in this story for everyone." - Jennifer Sutherst, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada
