Two Old Women Immersion Project Makes the Front Page of the Cape Cod Times!
 On December 5, Big & small
brought the Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter School together with Seniors from the Orleans Senior Center and other
nearby communities to discuss the themes of the legend (Cape Codder, ). In a collaborative process begun by Big & Small , the two groups discussed issues surrounding
aging, gender and responsibility to the community, themes developed in the legend. The entire school read the legend at the beginning of the school year, and the legend
was woven into the curriculum. Students and seniors filled out an attitudinal survey before reading the legend, and will take a similar exit survey to measure changes brought by
reading and discussing the legend.
The collaboration continued in January with a workshop on portraiture, mask-making and movement.
On February 9, Big & small was the lead story of the Cape Cod Times (see article at Cape Cod Times, February 9, 2007) Masks and portraits from the
workshop will be on display at the panel discussion June 16 at the Cape Cinema in Dennis. Movement developed in the workshops will be incorporated in the choreography of the
performance, scheduled for Fall 2007.
