Meet Leonardo da Vinci: artist, scientist, inventor, scholar and teacher. Peter Donaldson (Salmonpeople) brings this astounding character to vivid life, sharing his passion for inquiry, unique vision and radical perspectives. Leonardo was not only there when 1000 years of “Dark Ages” yielded finally to the Renaissance, he was a major catalyst for the transformation of western culture. A mesmerizing celebration of curiosity, imagination, and the nature of the relationship between ourselves and the world in which we live.
As an educator and community facilitator, Mr. Donaldson delivers outstanding educational programs for local schools and colleges and facilitates the New Renaissance Forum raising the intriguing question, “Are we at the cusp of a New Renaissance today?” Dozens of fascinating parallels exist between the Italian Renaissance 500 years ago and the patterns at play today.
