SEEKING PARTNERS

...No, not that kind of partner (!), though we rejoice when any people come together to experience life as a unit. But AcquaTroupe is forming a unit with performers, creative artists and audiences in many places, following the precedent established by World Oceans Arts. WOA has been able to contribute in a small but important way to the work of the American Behcets Disease Association...to the cultural life of Georgia and New York and a few other places...to the career quest of hundreds of artists on their professional paths...and to other worthy causes.

AcquaTroupe similarly wants to be known as an ensemble of artists who care. We care about the world, about each other, about people who struggle for whatever reason. We acknowledge that the arts can change the world in important ways. Ever since human culture began to take shape, artistic expression has been a key part of human experience.

AcquaTroupe is different from your average performing group. Even as we keep our professional artistic standards high, we want to break down barriers. When people enjoy an AcquaTroupe performance or CD or video, we want them to experience something new in their lives. We are inspired by other artists who have done the same. We have already mentioned some like YoYo Ma, Lawrence Moss, Aura Curiatlas. Soon you will hear about others, like Sky Gym in Sandy Springs, Georgia...Sky Cries Mary in the Pacific Northwest...the late Olivier Messiaen whose music often sings in the voices of birds and of heaven...yes, our eyes are on the sky!

Now we seek people who can help provide fresh experiences. Soon we will take on interns to help with the mammoth task of planning our tours and recording projects. We also seek area coordinators and consultants. We aim to perform all over the USA and Europe in the coming seasons. This means we need people with local knowledge and contacts in the places we travel. Finally...we need artists to perform! They may be beginning professionals, or legends in their region....we don't care which. We seek all types, because our mission is to perform all the arts in all types of places.

We hope you will respond to this call! Please give us your ideas...offer to help us...ask us to consider you as a performer or creative artist...help us acquire the resources and publicity and personnel needed to make this grand dream a reality.

Thank you!

--James Gibson, Artistic Director
