Have you ever stood on the shore watching Wellfleet oyster harvesters and wondered how to shellfish?  Have you “picked a few tides” over time, but now feel a bit out of practice?  Or maybe you go every week and just want some tips from the pros?  If so, this class is for you!  We will be joined by lifelong shellfisherman Paul Murzyn and members of the Wellfleet Shellfish Department who will teach us Wellfleet’s Recreational Shellfishing Regulations and Harvest Areas, plus salty Wellfleet Wisdom including “where to find them” and “how to shuck them”.

This class is open to all adults, but it has a particular focus on teaching techniques to open the world of Wellfleet Recreational Shellfishing to those over 50 years of age.

The ever-changing coastline of Cape Cod is vibrant, diverse, and dynamic. Barrier beaches, salt marshes, tidal flats, coastal heathlands, and maritime forests are just some of the incredible systems we will explore in this series of hikes that celebrate these unique and essential habitats dotting our coastline.

Nauset beach is a 10-mile-long barrier beach stretching out along the Atlantic Ocean. During our hike we'll search for piping plovers and other nesting shorebirds as we make our way to the gem of Pleasant Bay, Pochet Island. This hike is 5mi in length and much of the hike includes walking on soft sand.

During the program, we make stops to enjoy birds, other wildlife, and the area's unique cultural history. We will also take water breaks and stop for lunch.

Metropolitan Opera Live in HD at WHAT

Salome

Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts his first Met performances of Strauss’s white-hot one-act tragedy, which receives its first new production at the company in 20 years. Claus Guth, one of Europe’s leading opera directors, gives the biblical story—already filtered through the beautiful and strange imagination of Oscar Wilde’s play—a psychologically perceptive, Victorian-era setting rich in symbolism and subtle shades of darkness and light. Headlining the new staging is soprano Elza van den Heever as the abused and unhinged antiheroine, who demands the head of Jochanaan, sung by celebrated baritone Peter Mattei. Tenor Gerhard Siegel is Salome’s lecherous stepfather, King Herod, with mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung as his wife, Herodias, and tenor Piotr Buszewski as Narraboth. This live cinema transmission is part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.

Languages of Nature Languages of Art

A Movement and Nature Workshop

LNLA is a movement-sound based workshop that explores the origin of primary language. We discover that this is the kinship language that humans have in common with the natural world. This is an evolutionary and developmental exploration beginning with guided mediation in-utero. We extend this to discover how primary language is core to art-making. We play with movement games, visual art-making, and poetry as forerunners for making mini dances. With these’experiences, we immerse ourselves through primary languaging with the natural world. Based on our encounters we create a ceremonial dance piece honoring our kinship with nature. We work with improvisational musicians. No previous study in the various arts required.

With her signature spark and fearless wit, actor & playwright Miranda Jonté dives into
the solo show world once again premiering her brand- new work, The Goat Is In The
Freezer: An Evening of Monologues, Essays, & Poems. After twenty years in NYC, Miranda hits the road in her trusty van, Mathilda, spending two years crisscrossing the far reaches of the U.S., caring for people’s houses and their pets while navigating the pandemic. From a log cabin in the Pacific Northwest, to a Cracker Barrell parking lot in upstate New York, to a sweltering pet sit on a Texas farm, these notes from the road take us on an adventure of wander lust, friendship, theatre & film work, and dog rescue – all fueled by enormous humor and copious amounts of coffee.
Miranda’s first solo venture, the celebrated Good & Kissed, premiered at the Midtown International Theatre Festival in 2017. She recently concluded seven years of touring the show with a farewell performance at Tate Farms in Rockwall, TX.

The Goat Is In The Freezer is Miranda’s first appearance at Wellfleet Preservation Hall.

Beautiful but pious sisters Martine and Philippa grow to spinsterhood under the wrathful eye of their strict pastor father on the forbidding and desolate coast of Jutland, until one day, Philippa's former suitor sends a Parisian refugee named Babette to serve as the family cook. Babette's lavish celebratory banquet tempts the family's awindling congregation, who abjure such fleshly pleasures as fine foods and wines. Adapted from a short story by Isak Dinesen, Babette's Feast was the first Danish winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Rise Above follows Cape Cod music icon Sarah Swain’s deeply moving journey of losing her mother to cancer and how that experience motivated her to make a difference in her community for others diagnosed with cancer.  

 As a local musician, Sarah Swain first created the Cape Cod Women’s Music Festival in 2012 to raise money for cancer patients. Wanting to do more to help her community, in 2014, Sarah founded the non-profit Cape Wellness Collaborative, under the guidance of attorney Bruce Bierhans. CWC works with a team of outstanding local wellness professionals to provide free-of-charge integrative wellness therapies to those facing cancer on Cape Cod. Sarah’s goal continues to be helping each patient with cancer feel better through integrative therapies that “aim to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms of disease.”

 Sarah's work has made a broad reach within the Cape Cod community and beyond. In 2019, Sarah and Cape Wellness Collaborative were awarded the Massachusetts Nonprofit Council’s Innovation Award. In 2020 Sarah received the Massachusetts Red Cross Community Hero Award, and, in 2021 she received the National Women’s Council of Churches Humanitarian Award.

'Outermost cliff and solitary dune, the plain of ocean and the far, bright brims of the world, meadow land and marsh and ancient moor;This is the outer Cape.' Henry Beston, The Outermost House

From Henry David Thoreau to Mary Oliver, Cape Cod's beautiful scenery has acted as a muse. Together, we will trace the steps of the artists and writers who have found inspiration in this constantly changing landscape. We will begin the field school by creating our own nature journals. Then, traveling across the outer cape, we will visit the special sites that led to the formation of important works of art and literature while recording our experiences. On one of the days, we will explore the town of Provincetown, uncovering its unique literary history with a special stop at the Mary Heaton Vorse house, now home to the Provincetown Arts Society.

Please pack a brown bag lunch, snacks, and plenty of drinking water.

*Please note: the hours listed on the schedule may vary from the sample schedule in the field school brochure and are subject to change based on tides, staff, optimal wildlife sightings, and other variables. A detailed schedule will be prepared and sent to registrants at approximately 3-4 weeks in advance.

June 14 & 15

During this active weekend we will take the road less traveled, cover new ground, and experience the Cape at a beautiful time of year. Our extended hikes will explore the backwoods, remote beaches, dramatic dunes, quiet kettle ponds, and sheltering woodlands of the Outer Cape and take us to "hidden" parts of the Cape Cod National Seashore and local conservation areas that the average visitor and local rarely explore.

The Outer Cape will be the focus of our hikes. We can expect to experience quiet pine woods, dramatic bluffs, hills and valleys, peeks of the Atlantic Ocean, subdued saltmarshes, and time on the Outer Beach.

Each walk will avarage 5 miles in length and on varied terrain - from established wooded trails to beach sand and up-and-down a few hills and dunes.

While the routes of our walks do not allow for shortcuts, and the goal is to walk at a steady pace, we will also stop to enjoy the birds, wildlife, and local history. We will also take water breaks and stop for lunch. A shorter sunset walk at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary is also schedules - a perfect way to the end the first day!

Please pack a brown bag lunch, drinking waster, and snacks for each day hike.

Please dress in layers and dress for the weather (we will walk in all weather conditions). Wear comfortable, sturdy shoes for walking. You might consider bringing binoculars, and a notepad or journal- you never know when inspiration strikes! A backpack in which to carry your gear is also needed.

*Please note: the hours listed on the schedule may vary from the sample schedule in the field school brochure and are subject to change based on tides, staff, optimal wildlife sightings, and other variables.

Maya Gabeira grows up in Rio de Janeiro, begins competing in surfing at age 15, and turns pro at 17. However, her abilities are doubted by many of her big wave surfing male peers. In 2013, Gabeira suffers a devastating wipeout at Nazaré, Portugal. She nearly drowns and endures a prolonged recovery that requires back surgeries and physical therapy. Gabeira eventually returns to Nazaré and breaks the record for the largest wave ever surfed by a woman. Maya and the Wave is a portrait of Gabeira and her struggles to be taken seriously as a woman in a male-dominated sport, focusing in part on the role that sexism played in the response to her injuries while trying to surf giant waves.

Marine Mammal Strandings on Cape Cod

With Michaela Wellman

IFAW's Marine Mammal Rescue (MMR Team is the responding agency for live and dead stranded marine mammals, including dolphins, porpoises, whales, and seals, on Cape Cod down to the Southeastern border of Massachusetts, covering ~750 miles of coastline. Cape Cod has the highest frequency of small cetacean mass strandings in the world, driven primarily by the gently sloping sand flats, large tidal fluctuations, close proximity to fertile feeding grounds, social nature of the species that strand, and the hook-like shape of the Cape itself. Wellfleet specifically is a hotspot within a hotspot for these strandings. IFAW's veterinarians and biologists perform an in-field health assessment on every live stranded cetacean and those that are deemed sufficiently healthy are immediately release back to the ocean. Join IFAW Stranding Technician Michaela Wellman and learn more about the critical work that IFAW's MMR team does right here in your own backyard!

Separated from the mainland and surrounded by water, islands are alluring because of their remote and unique nature. This field school will feature some of the unique islands of the Cape. From Great Island in Wellfleet to the tiny isles of Pleasant Bay, we will uncover the unique geologic history of these places.

These islands are also home to a wide array of wildlife. Along the way, we will search for diamondback terrapins, horseshoe crabs, and a variety of bird species, including nesting shorebirds. This active field school will feature both hiking and kayaking explorations.

Important Reminders: Previous (recent) paddling experience and good swimming ability are required. This course does not provide paddling instruction for beginners. Participants must have basic paddling skills. Open water bodies in which you'll be experiencing both wind and tide is not where you want to learn how to steer a boat!

Participants may choose among available single kayaks. All equipment is provided; all participants must wear life jackets.

FEMALE HUSBANDS

Long before people identified as transgender or lesbian, there were female husbands and the women who loved them. Female husbands - people assigned female who transed gender, lived as men, and married women - were true queer pioneers. Moving deftly from the colonial era to just before the First World War, Jen Manion uncovers the riveting and very personal stories of ordinary people who lived as men despite tremendous risk, danger, violence, and threat of punishment. Female Husbands weaves the story of their lives in relation to broader social, economic, and political developments in the United States and the United Kingdom while also exploring how attitudes towards female husbands shifted in relation to transformations in gender politics and women’s rights, ultimately leading to the demise of he category of female husband' in the early twentieth century.

Female Husbands offers a dynamic, varied, and complex history of the LGBTQ past.

Jen Manion is a social and cultural historian whose work examines the role of gender and sexuality in American life. Manion is the author of Liberty's Prisoners: Carceral Culture in Early America (Penn, 2015) and Female Husbands: A Trans History. (Cambridge,2020) and co-editor of Taking Back the Academy (Routledge, 2004) with Jim Downs. Jen has written dozens of essays and articles for popular and scholarly publications. Jen received a PhD in history from Rutgers University and a BA in history with an English minor from the University of Pennsylvania, magna cum laude. Jen is Professor of History and Sexuality, Women's and Gender Studies at Amherst College.

Slavery and Abolitionism on Cape Cod

From the start of the Puritan era through the end of he Revolutionary War, Boston was the central hub o the slave trade. Slaves were brought onboard ships fron the African coast with regularity, often mastered by Cape Cod sea captains. The total number of slaves per household was certainly much smaller in the Northeast than they were in the larger plantations found in the South, but, nonetheless, a much-needed labor force was deemed a necessity. After Massachusetts legally prohibited the practice of slavery in 1780, sea captains continued to engage in its development in a variety of ways. Some captains would bring slaves in surreptitiously, while other masters of the sea profited in indirect ways. Some mariners provided inexpensive low-grade food to the plantations, while others would bring cotton to the North for textile work. In the early 1800s the Commonwealth's shipping industry became divided, with some men fighting for the cause of abolitionism while other captains preterred a very slow demise to this human trafficking. Massachusetts would eventually lead a movement to fight for total abolitionism. To understand the thinking of the day, religious views, political positions, economic factors, and social movements are all placed into sharper detail and given greater context. By sharing protiles of notable Black people living in Massachusetts, we acknowledge the enormous positive contributions made by those forced to relinquish their personal right to freedom.

Michael V. Pregot is an educator, writer, and admirer of local history. As a Cape Cod resident, he loves researching the stories of historic maritime figures to share familiar and yet untold vignettes of their deeds with others. His goal is to keep an audience drawn to and focused on vivid stories of the sea.

The Battle for Boston

The Battle for Boston captures the remarkable era under Mayor Ray Flynn, whose election in 1983 marked the beginning of a profound shift in the city's political and social landscape. Don Gillis, a Flynn senior advisor, chronicles the inspiring journey of a city that dared to challenge the entrenched power brokers-including developers, landlords, and banking industry leaders-through powerful grassroots campaigns. The Battle for Boston poses a critical inquiry: Can cities truly embrace progressivism and govern effectively in the twenty-first century? This qualitative narrative study is a testament to the possibility of such governance, driven by the indomitable spirit of those who strive for a fair and equitable society.
