REACHING OUT AGAIN

 Let us remind ourselves that unless every single aspect of our lives is truly horrible, we are much better off than many, many people. In that vein, let's reach out a couple of more times.....so many people in Florida and the Caribbean have lost everything. There are many many ways to help that do not require you to write a huge check. Please take a few minutes to go online and figure it out, or write to us at world.oceans7@gmail.com and we will help you reach out to those in desperate need. More hurricanes are coming.....the crisis is not over.

 We would like to recognize The Isaiah House in Rochester, New York. This magnificent house and organization has helped many people find the full richness, peace and joy of life even as they live through their final days. Isaiah House is presenting its annual Gala fundraiser on October 1, and I urge you to consider helping them out with a donation. If you are anywhere within reach of Rochester, or know someone who is, please buy tickets to this event. You will be supporting one of the most impressive and important humanitarian organizations around.  Go to theisaiahhouse.org and read about how these heroic people have helped so many others for thirty years!

IMPORTANT UPDATES & OUR 2020

Hello everyone! I would like to provide you with an update on what has been happening with World Oceans Arts -- and even more importantly, what is going to happen during the rest of this year. This update is the result of many ideas, meetings, communication from our artists and audiences, and more. It is also, unavoidably, an update on where we are as a result of the virus pandemic sweeping the globe. The good news is that at WOA we are moving forward with vigor, new ideas and projects, new resources and new audiences. For those who may be new to us or confused by all our memos and blogs and announcements: World Oceans Arts is the production company sibling to AcquaTroupe, which is a live performance ensemble. James Gibson Arts is an adjunct to both entities which links my own professional activities to both those organizations. Collectively and humorously we are known as JAW. World Oceans Arts is currently in the recording studio and we have been for some time! We began a series o

WIDENING OUR REACH

Every so often it is healthy for people working together to assess where they are and what they have done. We are affectionately known as JAW (James Gibson Arts, AcquaTroupe and World Oceans Arts). For all practical purposes, we are one unit. We are several hundred people in contact with one another, most of us creative or performing artists. We are trying to use artistic expression to make the world a little better, to inspire and fulfill people, to offer our interpretations of life and the universe in meaningful ways. AcquaTroupe is rapidly filling up the calendar with future performance commitments and projects throughout North America and Europe. World Oceans Arts is steadily moving through the huge mission of bringing two new movies to the screen: 1969  and Litany,  both of which will offer broad commentary on our world today and on who we are as people. Our artistic director is finding the time to publish, record and distribute his 300+ original creations and to mentor some of

BREATHING WITH WOA

Hello everyone, If you are able to read this, we are grateful that you are alive and hopefully doing what is needed to remain healthy. To begin with the most important thing: it is only by the world acting as a community, a family, that everyone will survive and prosper and move ahead of the current pandemic. If we each place the lives and interests of others higher than our own desires, this will succeed. Please consider supporting Artists at the Bottom, Friends at the Top.  This fund helps creative and performing artists who face dire circumstances. At present ALL funds received will go directly to help people who are negatively affected by the corona virus. Just email us if you can make a donation. Bundles  are one way that we at World Oceans Arts can raise funds to help those in need, while also providing work for our own artists, and providing a steady stream of entertainment and learning. Our bundles consist of things like films, music recordings and videos, written poetry an
