ACQUATROUPE, ALL 51 and THE BIG 102

In less than five weeks we will officially launch three projects, all of which are already underway, all interlocked, all quite exciting! Here is the short version of what they are, what our aim is, and who/what we are seeking:

AcquaTroupe is a movie, a performing ensemble with fluid and rotating membership, and an umbrella for all of WOA's live performance and recording projects in music, theatre, film/video, dance, spoken word and other performing arts. The movie is already being shot. It is a unique combination of fictional stories and true-life adventures among a group of performers.

The ensemble known as AcquaTroupe is made up of whoever is performing, creating and recording live arts for us at any particular time. Because we have multiple projects underway, spread over a huge geographical area, we are always in need of new people. Actors, writers, musicians, dancers, storytellers, narrators, photographers/videographers, staff, crew, makeup/wardrobe/scenic artists, assistants in every area, interns and more are always sought. Everyone who works with AcquaTroupe will share in the profits from our work together. Everyone will come away with great referrals and additions to their resumes, and with lots of memories. 

All 51 is our plan to take our arts and ideas to every U.S. state and D.C. in 2018. Through live performance, film/video shoots and screenings, recordings and other educational and artistic events, we will reach out to audiences all over the USA and leave them with memorable and unique experiences. 

The Big 102 is an international extension of our USA tour. It is the name for our presence not only in America, but in every European country by the end of 2019. Continent by continent, we are extending our artistic reach to the entire planet. We have memos, project summaries, detailed flyers and brochures we can send you about all of this. If all of this sounds intriguing and exciting, just ask to be kept on our mailing list! If you are not an artist or available to work with us, but would like to be part of our adventures, just ask how we can make that happen online or at a distance. Maybe you have a skill, or a few spare dollars, or a great idea to share with us. We are proud to help many artists build their careers, to bring innovative arts to audiences far and wide, and to support causes and organizations which seek to help people in greatest need. Please join us!

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
