SUMMARY:Bus Trip to the Finnish American Heritage Society in Canterbury
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday April 22\, CMCH will offer a bus trip to the Finnish American Heritage Society in Canterbury\, where participants will tour the Hall\, enjoy a Finnish lunch\, and then visit several sites of historical significance to the community in eastern Connecticut. Commentary for the tour will be provided by historians Rachel Carley and Burton Jernstrom. The bus will depart from the CMCH at 9:00 am and return at 5:00 pm. \nThe trip costs $40 for CMCH members\, $45 for non-members\, and $25 for those who meet at the Hall (and don’t require bus transportation–the address to meet up is 76 North Canterbury Rd\, Canterbury\, CT 06331\, and we will arrive at the Hall at 10:30 am).  \nFor more information and to register\, call 860-236-5621 x 235.  \nThe bus trip is a program related to our new exhibit\, Sisu and Creativity: Finnish Cultural Heritage in Connecticut. For the exhibit\, the CMCH is partnering with the Finnish American Heritage Society (FAHS) based in Canterbury CT to present art works\, images\, and documentation of the community’s history from the FAHS archives\, one of the largest Finnish collections in the country. \nThe exhibit explores central characteristics of Finnish settlement in Connecticut – their agricultural cooperatives; the built environment including farms\, barns\, and community halls; the saunas constructed by every family as a social gathering place; the festivals celebrating important Finnish holidays; and the many artistic and musical traditions still practiced throughout the community. The exhibit illustrates the history\, continuity\, character\, and activities of the Finnish community as a story of resilience\, creativity\, preservation\, and sustainability. Exhibit visitors can explore concepts and ideas about Finnish culture in Connecticut through objects\, art works\, images\, and descriptive labels as well as through stories of individuals told in quotes and audio oral histories. Through the exhibit and programming\, viewers and event participants can gain historical context on the Finnish immigrant experience and discover a new understanding of unique Finnish contributions to the ethnic heritage of our state. \nThe story of the Finnish community in eastern Connecticut demonstrates “sisu” – the spirit of determination\, resilience\, hard work\, and creative problem-solving that has fostered their success and continues to sustain Finnish cultural heritage and identity. The exhibit draws from the art works\, images\, and documentation of community history housed in the FAHS archives\, one of the largest Finnish collections in the country. In 2014 architectural historian Rachel Carley conducted a detailed survey of Finnish heritage sites in partnership with the community. Their work provides an essential background to this exhibit project. For the past seventeen years the CT Cultural Heritage Arts Program at the CMCH has collaborated with members of the Finnish community on several traditional arts apprenticeships teaching weaving\, sauna building\, woodcarving\, fiddle playing\, and birch bark weaving\, as a way to support the community’s interest in their traditional practices. \n2017 marks the centenary of Finland’s independence from Russia\, as well as the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Finnish American Heritage Society\, and our collaborative exhibit project connects to a series of local and national commemorative events. Finns came to Connecticut in the 1920s from Brooklyn\, NY where they had immigrated for jobs in the late 1880s. They settled in eastern Connecticut to farm and were especially skilled at raising poultry. Expert carpenters\, Finns built social halls as places for the community to gather in Brooklyn\, Voluntown\, Waterford\, and Canterbury where the Finn Hall celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2015. This building\, on the National Register of Historic Places\, houses the very active Finnish American Heritage Society (FAHS) and the extensive archive\, oral history collection\, and museum of Finnish life in Connecticut that the group has compiled. Every Finnish homestead built its own sauna\, a central cultural expression for health and also a place for families to socialize. FAHS organizes events such as the Tori Open Air Market\, FinnFunn Weekend\, an annual Finnish cooking demonstration\, and plays and concerts often with traditional accordion and fiddle folk music. The community celebrates Finnish holidays of Midsummer\, St. Urho’s Day\, Finnish Independence from Russia\, a Pikkujoulu Christmas party\, and a performance of the national epic poem the Kalevala.

SUMMARY:Speak Up at CMCH: All-day Beginning Storytelling Workshop with Speak Up co-founder Matthew Dicks
DESCRIPTION:Speak Up co-founder and 26-time Moth StorySLAM winner and four time GrandSLAM champion Matthew Dicks will be teaching a day-long workshop on the art of storytelling. This is a workshop designed for people with little or no any previous storytelling experience and seeks to meet the goals of a wide range of participants. While many workshop graduates have gone on to tell stories on stage for Speak Up\, The Moth\, and other storytelling organizations\, most students take this beginner-level workshop with little or no desire to ever take the stage. People want to learn about storytelling for personal and professional development\, to meet new people\, to improve communication skills\, to develop their writing ability\, to challenge themselves\, to finally get the attention of grandchildren and colleagues\, and to try something new.\nIncluded in this workshop will be:\n• Methods for generating ideas for stories from your life experiences (you have more stories than you realize!)\n• Games designed to generate new story ideas\, develop the ability to speak extemporaneously\, and apply the skills taught in the class\n• Structuring an effective story\n• Stakes and lies in storytelling\n• Development of humor\n• Performance techniques\n• The 16 Most Important Rules of Storytelling \nThis is a no-risk\, low stakes introduction to storytelling that does not require students to speak in any way. If you’d like to dip a toe into storytelling and learn some of the most effective\, easiest applied strategies to the finding and crafting of stories but you’re not yet ready to stand before an audience and speak\, this workshop is a safe place for you to learn. Due to the amount of information presented\, there is limited opportunity for participants to present stories of their own. \n$85 CMCH members\, $95 non-members. Space is limited and pre-registration is encouraged. \nREGISTER ONLINE HERE. \nQuestions? Contact Jenny Steadman at (860) 236-5621 x289 or by email at jennifer_steadman@chs.org.
