Improv by Ruth Levikoff (TBD)
Whether you have ever done or seen improv or not, you are a perfect participant for the hour and a half of fun and games and laughter.To me, improv is play, not performance, cooperative, not competitive. I try to create a sequence of exercises, that enables everyone to feel comfortable and be playing, and allows folks to experience the joy of seeing the amazing creativity that they never knew they have, as well as the bonding that comes from laughing together. I prefer no more than 15, but will make the limit 18, so that everyone gets to spend a lot of time playing.
Ruthie has performed in the past with Full Circle Theater and Second Circle Improv Players (Applied Improvisation), and has trained with Full Circle, PHIT (Philadelphia Improv Theater) (long-form improv), Second City in Chicago (2 summer weeklong intensives), and Comedy Sportz in Philadelphia. She has given training workshops for Second Circle Improv Players, and other general short-form workshops, and applied improv training for West Philadelphia Skills Initiative.
Talk on wolves by Bob Goldman (TBD)
An enlightening talk and discussion on ecologically vital and precious wolves, native beings of the Southwest and all of North America, placed on earth by the Creator of all life. Wolves are native, ecologically vital and beautiful members of the North American landscape. Wherever they live, wolves bring life and vitality to entire ecosystems. As with all natural predators, they keep their prey species and all of nature, healthy and strong. Native Americans revered wolves as great teachers, demonstrating true devotion to family, nurturing and teaching their pups together, and collectively providing for the needs of young and old. Yet, European settlers brought demonic fairy tales and falsehoods about wolves to this continent. Their American descendants have persecuted and massacred these innocent and beautiful wild beings ever since. Such ignorance, cruelty and slaughter, is the very opposite of the respect, admiration and protection all wolves deserve. You'll learn the truth about wolves and hear of some of the devoted individuals and groups who are fighting to protect them and keep them wild and free, while preserving and restoring the wild places they need, to live. You'll learn of the enemies of wolves and wild nature who are being challenged to stop the persecution and killing of wolves and all native wildlife on this huge continent, where there is room for all. It certainly is time for decency, respect and co-existence to be the new American way.
Robert Goldman is a long time wolf and wildlife defender and advocate. Bob served as principal organizer of The National Rally to Protect America's Wolves! which took place in front of the Washington Monument in Washington DC on September 7, 2013. You can listen to Bob's opening remarks at the Rally.

10:00 PM – ???? Campfire (or equivalent – actual fire depends on local fire guidelines in effect for the area) Last chance to have fun singing & socializing around the evening campfire.
