Simple catapult

April 15, 2020  /  Marci Jackson

As the novelty has worn off and daily routine is, well, routine, I looked for something different for the kids to do at school today that would be constructive but silly. Enter-the simple catapult! If you have popsicle sticks, rubber bands and a plastic spoon you’re set.

But, as a member of my family no game is complete without a certain air if acting or emoting. So we catapulted our sadness away and laughed!

**Premiere Performance info**

November 16, 2024, Marci will be performing for the 1st time the pieces written for her by composer Daniel J. McIntosh. The pieces are set to William Blake’s “Songs of Innocence.” Never have all 19 poems been set to music before, so this is a performance NOT to be missed. Not only will it be sung, but the poem and art that Blake engraved will be projected during the performance.

Before and after the performance, there will be a special display of the pieces that have just been newly printed by Michael Phillips specifically for Marci and these performances. This is FIRST time since Blake printed them that all of the Songs of Innocence have been printed in his style of printing/engraving.
