New Old Time Chautauqua thinks of Godfrey Daniels as one of our own. We’ve met his family and learned his ways. We’ve come to know what frustrates him and what makes him happy. We’ve seen him struggle and we’ve seen him succeed. What must it be like for an audience to meet him for the first time? A theater reviewer in LA saw him in a Variete show and said that his part “… was singularly the most charming part of the show. It was a Shel Silverstein poem brought to life.” If this year is your first Moisture Festival, if you are going to meet Godfrey Daniels for the first time … you are SO lucky, I wish I was you.

The medieval troubadour’s work consisted of entertainment and propaganda, praising the brave and ethical, mocking the hypocritical, teaching the uninformed, and maintaining the people’s spirits during times of oppression. Jim Page is a modern troubadour; his work is topical song-spinning with love, poignance, and reflection in his lyrics, and very, very fast guitar-picking. He is in the American musical lineage of topical singer-songwriters that includes Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, Phil Ochs and Janis Ian, Bruce Springsteen and Frank Zappa.

Fiona Rose is a multi-disciplinary artist from Anchorage, Alaska. She performs regularly around town, most often as a musician, but also as a juggler, emcee, actress, and occasional burlesque performer.

Fiona was born in Anchorage, and grew up playing music, most notably flute. In 2011, she unexpectedly met up with a touring vaudeville production in Talkeetna, Alaska called the New Old Time Chautauqua. Within two hours, she found herself parading onto stage with the marching band; within two days, she had joined their caravan.

Community Congress

<p><img src="https://chautauqua.org/uploads/our.jpg"></p><h1>Our Chautauqua</h1><p>The New Old Time Chautauqua (NOTC) was founded in 1981 by a group of adventurous performers, health care practitioners, and educators including the Flying Karamazov Brothers and Dr. Patch Adams. The idea was to revive the inspiring Chautauqua spirit and bring live entertainment and educational workshops to diverse rural communities. With the intention of inspiring creativity and supporting community, our traveling troupe partners with local organizations and service groups to present Chautauqua events.</p><p>We aim to delight, educate, amaze, and provoke the imagination of adults and children alike. The all-volunteer 50+ person troupe has staged 2-6 week summer tours throughout California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alaska and British Columbia. In Spring 2006, NOTC traveled to New Orleans and the coast of Mississippi bringing free entertainment and friendship to Hurricane Katrina survivors and volunteer relief workers.</p><p>In recent years we have toured Southeast Alaska, Washington State, Montana, Idaho, and Eastern Oregon.&nbsp;</p>

New Old Time Chautauqua

<p><img src="https://chautauqua.org/uploads/history.jpg"></p><h1>What is a Chautauqua?</h1><p>“Chautauqua” was a cultural and social movement that started in upstate New York in the 1870s and flourished until the mid 1920s. During this time, hundreds of touring chautauquas presented lectures, dance, music, drama, and other forms of “cultural enrichment”. In rural America, big tents served as temporary theaters for these productions. Lectures by author Mark Twain, suffragette Susan B. Anthony, or a production of “The Tale of Two Cities” are the kinds of entertainment one could expect at a chautauqua show. The Chautauqua Institution still thrives in Chautauqua, New York.</p><p>Teddy Roosevelt once called the traveling Chautauquas “the most American thing in America”. This form of live entertainment faded with the growing popularity of radio and motion pictures.</p><p>The Chautauqua Movement was the largest event that has ever existed in the US or Canada. Taking its cue from the proceeding Lyceum movement the first Chautauqua was held on idyllic Lake Chautauqua (hence the name) in 1874. Its mix of arts and entertainment became an instant hit. By the turn of the 20th century there were Chautauquas held one coast to the other. In 1904 the Chautauqua idea got on the rails and went mobile. Held in large brown tents Chautauquas were found in nearly every town in the country. Powered by its superstar speakers, international music stars, theatre, vaudeville, scientists, and politicians it had become a sensation. By 1924 a 1,000 Circuit or Traveling Chautauquas were playing in over 10,000 towns with an attendance of over 40,000,000 Americans. Teddy Roosevelt called Chautauqua, "The most American thing about America". Chautauquas were based on the idea that learning continued throughout life. The Chautauqua Movement's mix of education and entertainment was the predecessor of today's NPR, TED talks, and influenced modern journalism, television, and politics. Chautauquas were always set in an idyllic setting, among the trees, by a shore, or in a park (which is why this 2016 WSP summer is such a natural fit). When Chautauqua came to a town all normal activity stopped as each town's citizen's dedicated a week of their lives to learn, to be entertained, and to join in community.</p><p>The traveling Chautauquas disappeared during the Great Depression but the original Chautauqua continues to flourish on the shores of Lake Chautauqua.</p><p>"<a href="https://progrss.com/places/20170118/chautauqua-re-imagined/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(45, 183, 7);">Chautauqua: An American Institution Reimagined for the 21st Century</a>," by Marshall Gause on the website progrss, lays out both the history of Chautauquas and which ones are currently active around the U.S., including New Old Time Chautauqua.&nbsp;</p><p>CIRCUIT CHAUTAUQUAS IN WASHINGTON 1914-1930:</p><p>For a week every summer, from 1914 until 1930, Port Townsend, WA was invaded. All activities in Port Townsend and the countryside around were curtailed or reduced. The hotels began to fill up with strange people who had arrived by rail the night before.</p><p>Some of these strangers were people of note: politicians, lecturers, inventors, and educators. To this heady cast was added vaudevillians, divas, dancers, Native American Speakers, and actors. The local newspapers headlined the week-long program by printing the schedule on the front page with descriptions of each of the acts. It was the area’s biggest week of the year. What was it?</p><p>It was the Ellison-White Traveling Circuit Chautauqua and it was part of the national Chautauqua movement which had become the largest attended event in Washington State. In its heyday, the importance of Chautauqua Week in Port Townsend’s yearly cycle was right up there with Christmas, Easter, and the Fourth of July.</p><p>This year's May 20-22, 2022's "Chautauqua Week" is historic because, although Port Townsend has been the home and springboard for the New Old Time Chautauqua for 40(+1) years, this will be the first "Chautauqua Week" in the Key City (Port Townsend) in more than a century.</p><p><br></p><p><em>"What do you think when you hear the word Chautauqua? Do you know that the Chautauqua movement is directly fostered and supported by more personally interested business and professional men than any one world movement, either educational, social or political? Do you know that the Chautauqua movement has grown in thirty years from one assembly to over 5,000 assemblies? Do you know that Chautauquas are brought to over 700 communities in the United States and Western Canada through Ellison-White Service? Do you know that Chautauqua is annually attended by more people than baseball?"</em></p><p><em>- Alaska Daily Dispatch, August 29, 1918</em></p>
