ENCHANTED ISLANDS is a living art story project: a Faerie Queen Story Hour. Imagine wandering through the woods and happening upon the Fairy Queen, bedecked in otherworldly finery, book open on her lap, ready to tell you a story.

From July 23-31, writer-performer Melody Bates (R & J & Z, Avalon) will be in residence in Deer Isle, Maine, performing her new versions of beloved fairy tales in curated locations at Peter Beerits’ woodland art park, costumed in spectacular garments designed for each tale by Jennifer Paar (Avalon, Desdemona).

During this week in July, the three artists will present daily live performances of three tales: “The Twelve Dancing Princesses;" “Caporushes;” and an original story, “All the Birds of the World.” The sculpture, costumes, and environment are interwoven with story themes of girl heroes, magic, disguise and self-discovery, bravery, and birds—ushering audiences of all ages into the 21st century of storytelling, identity, enchantment, and our human relationship with the natural world. This innovative artistic partnership invites you into the woods to explore the edges of what we imagine is possible.
