Tompkins Transitions:

A City Change Game

 

(Women's Community Building, 100 W. Seneca St.)

Solve today’s problems with the future in mind as a participant in Tompkins Transitions, a new customized version of the City Game presented by Big Picture/Small World and Sustainable Tompkins.  This fast-paced multimedia simulation puts you in a leadership position in Tompkins County and allows you to make a difference as we steer towards our preferred future.  You’ll be challenged with our current real world problems, and work together to address the complexities of our urban/rural interface.  How will you deal with unemployment, shrinking municipal budgets, poverty, gas drilling, traffic congestion, housing shortages, increasingly expensive food and energy?  Tompkins Transitions will put you into a collaborative problem-solving environment where limited resources, real world challenges, and your vision, values and creativity collide.  Our problems are all interconnected. Our solutions should be too.

Evening Concert:

Water Speaking Water

 

(Women's Community Building, 100 W Seneca St.)

Saturday evening's special event is an invitation to experience how 'water is always fully engaged in speaking water' through its many elemental forms. Expert video documentarians David Brown and Lang Elliot and attuned vocalists Jayne Demakos and members of the vocal group Ephemera will explore and translate this interwoven language for us -via a harmonizing of imagery, voice and instruments. The reward might just be rejuvenation. It will be a chance to conjure up an 'in-depth' immersion in the richness and potency of our local and planetary liquid solvency.

Welcome: Nick Vaczek
