Latest News on So-Cal Decompression....

So-Cal Decom News Service — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 14:09:56 GMT

This just in....

*NEWSFLASH* August 1st, 2008 at 3:00 PM

Decom 08

Southern California Decompression

Burners Mission to Mars.

Data received in recent months from the Red Planet indicate that life
could survive on Mars. A group known as Burners have volunteered
to make the first large scale mission. Authorities were apprehensive
at first to let non-government agencies make this trip, but after careful
analysis of the Burner community it was made clear that this group of
people is extremely resourceful and capable of dealing with the unknown.

Burners are going to dispense with the glossy space program as we know it.
Mark your calendars for the 18th of October when the Burners will group
at a Top Secret Location to begin this project.

First tier Decom 08 tickets will go on sale in the next few weeks.
We will post the exact time and date soon. So get your space suit
out of closet and start practicing your space walk!

Attention Dancers

rphoenix — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 16:45:16 GMT

I recently uploaded a track to my Myspace player that I think would be terrific for a dance piece or ritual theatre. I would be happy to give it away to someone that could plug it into their creation. You could use all or just parts.

It loads and plays when you hit my page: http://www.myspace.com/dominmatrix

Isis Wings Burning Man Summer Blowout Sale!

angbag — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 19:03:00 GMT

Hi, I live in San Diego and I really enjoy dancing and performing... tribal belly dancing, fire dancing, and wing dancing! I am running a special on my Isis wings that I'd like to share with all of you dance enthusiasts.

All Isis Wings in stock are now on sale until August 20th! Get your Wings for Burning Man and other events and festivals. Add Wings to your favorite costumes. If you've been wanting a pair of wings, Now is the time to get them!

Receive $10 off your purchase of one pair of Wings, or a free pair of dancing fans, a $20 value! Your choice of three fan colors.

Photos and details of Fans:
http://www.indirani.com/content/view/41/66/

OR...

Buy 2 pairs of Wings, and get $30 off your total purchase price!

Photos and details of Wings: http://www.indirani.com/content/view/39/64/

Beautiful, shimmery dancing Isis Wings express movement, beauty, grace and passion in the soul. They can be used for dancing, performance art, belly dancing, ceremonies, self-expression, daytime festivals, in nature, at the beach, atop a mountain, Halloween costumes, Christmas parties, theme parties, and any costume-themed event. They sparkle iridescent in lights, especially stage lights, camera flash lights, and sunrises/sunsets. The Wings can be worn down your back when you are not dancing with them, which will give the look of wearing a celestial cape. These Isis Wings are made from crystal silk organza fabric. Pleating gives them a shimmery, feathery appearance. Clear lucite wands inside the Wings give you control and let you fly! They are very easy to use, and very rewarding in many ways :)

Single Tone Wings: White, Gold, Red, Pink, Aqua, Bronze Gold, Purple Crinkle, Sun Yellow, Indigo Blue, Coral Pink Crystal, Lavender Stripe, Pink Stripe, White Stripe, and UV Bright Green (glows in blacklight!)

Two Tone Iridescent Wings: Fuschia Red, Red Green.
Two tone wings create a dazzling color changing effect with movement.

Two Tone Taffeta Wings: Fuschia/Gold, Purple/Gold, Green/Gold.
Taffeta is a heavier opaque fabric which creates a stunning effect with two tone colors in stage and camera lights.

I suggest ordering by August 15 to be sure your Wings arrive before you leave for Burning Man.

The annual Contact Improvisation festival in Italy, Zipfest, is a Satellite Event of CI36, and invites you to join for the Celebration of Contact Improvisation and for the Summer Solstice.

The festival opens its ninth edition with a weekend of International Summer Solstice Jam, starting Saturday June 21st through Sunday June 22nd, in a White Night Jam-contact day ... A 25 Hours of Movement Art and Contact ...

The festival will go on until June 29th: sixteen guest artists from various countries will animate the city from early morning to late at night, taking turns in a dense calendar of jams, performances and concerts, intensive workshops, encounters and laboratories centered around the theme of Contact Improvisation, improvisation dance and the performing arts.

INFO AND CONTACT
PHONE: +39 0763341479
EMAIL: info@contactfestival.it
WEBSITE: www.contactfestival.it

Zipfest is a lively kermis with internationally famous guest artists invited to the Umbrian residence from various countries to collaborate in the creative production of events, promoting the identification of a trans-cultural art. The festival is an event of art and culture speaking the language of today, questioning itself on the processes or artistic interaction, creating contacts and occasions for cooperation among the guest artists, who bare their experience, affinities and cultural and generational differences in Orvieto, to create the festival together.

International scene 2008
Nita Little (www.nitalittle. com), American pioneer of Contact Improvisation, an internationally acclaimed artist, invited to Italy for the first time in April in the residenza dinamica of Palazzo Caravajal, for the project Restless Peace, and once more present in June as part of the Zipfest guest artists. Keith Hennessy, a Canadian performer with countless awards, for the first time in Italy, will present an interesting workshop in which improvisation dance, performance and shamanism will be put in relation to each other. Giorgio Convertito, an eclectic Italian dancer who has been living in Helsinki for six years, and is today an artist on the Finnish scene, Jacky Miredin the virtuoso French performer previously invited to Zipfest07 and the young Italian choreographer Sara Simeoni, currently dancing with Carolyn Carlson. The artistic director of the festival, Rossella Fiumi, takes part with her installation titled I'm All Ears, a forum on the theme of listening and communication in contemporary creativity.Jens Biedermann, a Swiss acrobatic dancer and accordion player, Adalisa Menghini, Italian choreographer who has been living in Berlin for years, Alessia Scala a young Neapolitan dancer, Isabelle Uski, Contact improviser from Grenoble, Gionatan Surrenti Italian dancer, improvisor and pedagogue, previously invited to several Zipfest editions, Yanaël Plumet French performer and traveler currently living in Istanbul, the musician and performer Michele Rabbia virtuoso percussionist invited to the preceding editions of the festival and particularly beloved by the Zip public, Marko Timlin Finnish sound artist proposing new modes in the field of electronic sound, composing and improvising on solar panels and Barnaby O'Rorke Tree, a versatile Scotch performer, improviser-cellist, composer and vocalist.

21-22 June White Night Jam-Contact day
Inauguration- meeting point Residenza dinamica of Palazzo Caravajal, headquarters of the international Summer Solstice Jam, at 9 p.m. on 21 June, throughout the sleepless summer night up to 10 p.m. on 22 June, in the studios-houses- ateliers of artists-cultural- associations- creative- persons-columnis ts-others who work-look for a Contemporary idiom in Orvieto.

24-28 June Performances, concerts, forum
One of the most eagerly awaited events in Zipfest calendar, the improvisation performances: instant compositions, proposed then and here by the guest artists, in a type of performance called Real Time Composition.

Heart-felt curves
It is a great honor to present and pay homage to Luigi Mario, known also as Engaku Taino, a Zen master who has been living in the hinterland of Orvieto for many years. He is a fascinating figure with proficiencies and preparation of alpine skiing and rock climbing, as well as a Tai Chi Chuan guru, but above all a person to meet and know to practice meditation. Luigi Mario has been invited to the festival for two reasons: the first is to lead, aided by assistants, a free climbing session on the rocks of Ferentillo, a splendid zone in Umbria-Valnerina, on June 23rd. It is a unique occasion for those who practice Contact as well as others, because it gives one a chance to find out what it's like trying one's hand at a height of 30 meters, using one's strength, resistance, balance, gravity, weight, feeling of the void, and any number of other emotions to explore. The second reason is purely contemplative: three meetings of Tai Chi Chuan and meditation.

Gelly Kusuma and Mikey Velazquez
Together, Mikey and Gelly both launched the self-coined "HAWT Movement" in February of 2006 in Los Angeles, California. Best friends united by their relentless passion for music, they set out to change the way that people looked at house music, parties, and just having fun in general. "At first we just wanted to start a record label in order to showcase our own music, meanwhile having the opportunity to sign our favorite artists that we admire", says Mikey. "Along with that came the party, and that's what really put us on the map and opened up doors to gradually build relationships that will forever change our lives".

In May of 2006, HAWT Afterhours was born. On every 1st and 3rd Friday since the inception, HAWT's underground parties have not only showcased the DJ talent of various quality acts from all over the world, such as Inland Knights, Justin Long, Johnny Fiasco and many more, but they have also displayed the talent of so many of the great DJ's in the local scene. "We always looked back to the beginnning, before we ever had a gig and knew that this was an important step, something that people needed and appreciated", says Gelly. "Overall, the main focus has always been on bringing back that old school house vibe at parties, bringing friends together with music, and just breaking boundaries and having FUN", according to Mikey. HAWT also stands for "Having A Wonderful Time", and they have done just that with the help of Eddie Barajas, Mike Magana, and many more along the way.

Keep an eye out for original music and remixes by EASILY INFLUENCED, which has been getting played by many world class acts such as Derrick Carter, Justin Long, Phil Weeks, DJ Mes, Natural Rhythm, Ricardo Rae, etc. "We think our versatility will surprise people. We really do love it all, and that will become evident in our music the longer and longer we do this", said Gelly. He continues, "we want our style to basically be versatility, and never want to hold anything back. If we're feeling something, whatever sound or style that may be, we make it."

Bykowski
"Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance. Of how much you really want to do it. And you'll do it, despite rejection in the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods. And the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is." -Charles Bukowski"

Jack Monforte
In the beginning there was Jack...or so the story goes.
Jack "Freedom" Monforte has been spinning for over two decades now.

in the early nineties to create Sweet Sundays.
Shortly thereafter he moved to Alaska, where he saw an opportunity to bring the underground techno scene to virgin territory, today Jack is considered one of the pioneers of the Alaskan electronic scene.
Moving back to Los Angeles in the mid nineties saw Jack earn a residency at
Club Diva where he opened up for Richard Vission and live acts like,
Rozalla, Donna Blakely, Alyus, Bad Boy Bill,etc...
In the early part of 2001 Jack along with partner K.C. Santana created Soulplanet Sessions.
a place where musicians,Djs and dancers could come together and create magic.
Soulplanet Sessions has hosted the likes of Marlon D,Master Kev, Tony Powell, Wayne Lyons and numerous other DJs.
Apart from being a producer/ DJ, his other passion is Graffiti art and photography.
Jack's appearances have included...Dirty Dirty House Club, The Clinic, Faith after-hours, Inspiration, Therapy (FTWK), Movin, Union Square Lounge (NYC), The End Up (San Francisco) and countless one offs.

The Rainbow Dream Vision of Hope
Intertribal Medicine Societies of Turtle Island
The Twenty Count: 1993-2012

Make copies of the Rainbow prophecy, and give or send them to people anywhere on the planet. Then let them be guided by their hearts to do the same until all planetary citizens are brought to life in the Rainbow dream, so that we may dream and work together for true peace. Love, Thunder Woman

Introduction by Aleran
Throughout the ages humanity has sought out the prophecies of the spiritually gifted to instil a clear hope and vision into life. During this time many prophecies come to us trying to lead us in many different directions.
Some prophecy points to disaster, hopelessness and the annihilation of mankind. But other prophecies create a vision of joyful transformation through quantum leaps into love and light.
As things stand now, the human race is dreaming a hell.
But as individuals and as a collective humanity it is our potential to dream of paradise and to create the kingdom of heaven on our Mother Earth.
Could it be that the pain in our hearts caused by the hell we have created will spur us on into visions and creations of a world formed in love?
It is my prayer and dream, along with a multitude of others who have taught me to dream the Rainbow dream, that each and every one of you learn to dream both while awake and sleeping, the dream of unity and love through divine transformation.
This prophecy is a dream and vision that is a potential reality for mankind. It is not an ultimatum. But it is ours to behold and to create if we only dare to dream it together.

The Rainbow Dream Vision of Turtle Island
Prophecies of The Native Americans
1993-2012

PART ONE ~
The distribution and giving back to humanity of the Twenty Count.
In the Turtle Island lore we say it is the time of finding one’s path with heart.
The time of seeking perfection, growth and development.
Most importantly the time of trust and innocence, when mythologies of the world are revealing secrets.

PART TWO ~
The critical time. The time of the animal. The time of Tuwalananie, the dark force.
The reason for this is that seeds of light have been planted and we are starting to grow and the teachings are starting to come out and all those ones who have taught partial truths, who have taught deliberate lies in history, are going to be threatened by the awakening of the Rainbow people because the Rainbow people exist in every country, in every nation, in every land.
The Dark Forces will be threatened and they will use their power and their power exists in technology. We are going to see new technology appearing which will be a tremendous threat to the survival of humanity.
We must exert our influence by gathering together and sharing our ideas and plans for alternative power and for world peace. If we put a double amount of energy with what we are for, we can change it. We can change it.

PART THREE ~
The time of human to human communication.
The time the human family finally starts to become human.
There will be more information brought out into open format than has ever been seen on this planet.
We will re-establish contact in a very knowledgeable way with our ancestors from the stars.
So mark that down because it will happen. The first contact will be with the Pleiades and will be totally acknowledged and will be known to all the world powers. The second contact will be with Sirius.

PART FOUR ~
When truth seekers begin to open the veil of the crack between the worlds, we will see our memory circles.
Many of the leaders who are trying to keep us locked in the past, will not function today, will fall.
Many teachers and wise people will be seen for who they are and they will be the farmers, the labourers and the gas station attendants because the tagashala will be fully awakened.
People will begin to link up with other people in gathering together circles.
Many of these will be the so-called 'common people' and not the teachers you see up there now.

PART FIVE ~
The various winged serpent wheels will begin to turn, to dance once again and when they do the rainbow lights will be seen in dreams all over the world and these rainbow light dreams will help awaken the rest of humanity.
We will sit in a new circle of law.
All civil and social laws will have to be in conformity with natural laws or the people will not accept them and they will have the enlightenment necessary to reject those laws.
Science will once again become metaphysics. They will discover four laws that will help them jump to universal law and transcend the time-space continuum which is the limitation of the age and once again we will begin to take our power and to work with rules and laws that are cosmic laws.

PART SIX ~
We will once again see the way to continue a new dream.
We will be given the road map back to the stars and we will see the star people come out of the illusion of their two-legged form and into their actual great sleeper-dreamer form.
A powerful time approaches humanity and its really hard for me to talk about it.
I am a great dreamer but I don’t know if I dream that large.
We will see a real shift in planetary consciousness.
Many of the enemies of the humans will begin to drop away.
We will totally gain the light of the great light wheel.
There will be one humanity, one planet composed of all the different ways of dancing in complete harmony in the great gathering together circle.
All the seeds will be planted.
The Earth will have its true reality formed.
It will join the sisterhood of planets, the daughters of Copperwoman and it will create within itself all forms of all things in harmony with the everything.
We will see a whole new way of perfection.
There will be plants on this grandmother earth that will give life and sustenance as never before seen.
Starvation on the earth, all those things will be gone. There will be total balance and harmony.

PART SEVEN ~
The new race of humans will begin to design their new reality of life on this planet as they intended it to be when they first came here from the stars.
We will begin to establish this planet and use the collective consciousness to hold the power of this space in harmony with the Great Circle of Twelve and all the planets. There is a whole lot I don’t even know. There is more that I am not supposed to talk about yet.
The dream will be actualised and this planet will hold its space in the great council of planets and become a part of the universal enlightened sisterhood and brotherhood of humanity and keepers of the light circles. It's happened on many planets and it's expected to happen on a lot of other planets.
There will be a moment when the population will be 'the' Population, and something great will happen.
This planet will have its design of energy movement guided by all of humanity living here.

The Great Spirit will leave its seed and the egg of everything here on this planet and it will create itself 20 times over at the speed of light and this prophecy ends as I have been given it by the Grandmothers that I share with you now.

~~~~~~~~~

Put a double amount of energy with what we are for. We can change it.

Make copies of the Rainbow prophecy, and give or send them to people anywhere on the planet. Then let them be guided by their hearts to do the same until all planetary citizens are brought to life in the Rainbow dream, so that we may dream and work together for true peace. Love, Thunder Woman

~ VISION of FREEDOM ~

I hope many people will send the Vision of Freedom to friends.

I have been involved with the Rainbow Dream Vision of Hope and Freedom since 1984. In that year, three musicians came into my one-man printing and publishing office, and said, "You really must look at this." They seemed a little (funny how life is at times) like the three wise people bringing gifts. Two days later I was distributing copies at a conference, and like me, people were amazed and astonished.

That's when my life started to be 'larger than life'.
And, in 1987, I went to visit the Hopi in Arizona, North America.

As I drove in from the west, an older man sitting by the roadside waved down my car... later, it felt to me that I was expected. He took me to meet Qwa David Monongye, and in the evening I was taken to a ceremony in the kiva. A dozen or more men descended from a ladder in the roof, and formed up in an arc of a circle.

They faced one direction, towards one of the ends of the arc, and started a slow foot-shuffling dance. Then fairly suddenly, domino-effect, turned one-by-one 180 degrees to face the other end of the arc. At that point I very nearly fell off my chair ... something had hit me. A year or more later, thinking about it, the realisation seemed to be: 'We can change the direction the world is going in. It is possible.'

I drove off, eastwards, along the Hopi mesas to find somewhere to park up, and sleep the night. In the morning I got out of the car, and was surprised to see the face of the large rock only feet from the car had a carving on it. This was the Hopi's 'Prophecy Stone', and it shows people moving in a direction, and the path splitting into two. One path goes nowhere, it fades out. But the other path goes on, and corn symbols by the path indicate that this route leads to life and prosperity.

Many other unusual and significant things occurred out there in this ancient place where it feels like time had stopped. Indeed, after visiting the oldest township on the Hopi mesas ~ a tall, sharp-ended mesa, rather like a ship of the desert ~ my watch stopped, and never worked again. There is much more that happened.

In 1986 ~ the year before my first visit to the Hopi ~ I was within sixty feet of three disc craft, for around 25 minutes. This too, was like events were coming together to inform me of something significant, something much bigger than myself. In 1993, with friends, we were very close to craft in the area of the crop patterns of mid southern England on several occasions.

Since 1993, on most days when I first step out of doors I frequently see one or more flashes in the sky, seemingly from a source fairly close, and at a lowish elevation. I have always taken the flashes to indicate the locations of disc craft which are 'parked up' and are stationary. In 2007, possibly because I was loaned a camera with an unusual infra-red setting, many craft and aerial objects started to appear in my general scenic photographs. Most images are archived here: http://worldgathering.net/scotland

(A) The Rainbow Dream Vision says: "We can change it (the direction the world is going). If we put a DOUBLE AMOUNT of effort into what we are for."

(B) The Hopi Nation has a prophecy stone which predicts the world will come to a time of choice. And if we choose the good direction, we can go on into a good life.

(C) The craft appearing all over the world, seem to be waiting and watching. To see if we can figure things out. To see if we can: 'Seize The Day'.

The writing is on the wall, and it says: 'We can change direction.'

Please send the Rainbow Dream Vision of Hope and Freedom to your friends. And let's make a stand for what we really believe in. Put a DOUBLE amount of effort and energy into what you believe is important.

Don't feel disheartened. It looks like there are some unexpected, good moves to happen yet: "There is a whole lot I don’t even know. There is more that I am not supposed to talk about yet."

Terrakroma, Mindfull and Xexify present

LUNARSUN
Spring Equinox March 21-23rd Friday-Sunday @ MOJAVE Desert - Part I

Come and gather at the Lunar Sun Spring Equinox celebration March 21st - 23rd at
the Mojave Desert, where we will unite a well balanced spectrum of frequencies of
Psychedelic Madness and Bliss. The LunarSun Spring Equinox will bring forth
an event of epic sonic variety and radiance. Light will meet Night,
where dementia and delirium will reign the desert and
glimpses of clarity will come back into focus as Light Reappears.

SHADOW FX
(Zenon Records, Australia) - Live Set!

James is one of our favorite psychedelic progg artists and
we can't tell you how happy we were to be able to get him to come out and
play for everyone at the Mojave Desert at the LunarSun Spring Equinox.
Shadow Fx is known for his smooth blend of deep, funky,
psychedelic morning progressive that is distinctively shaped
from the Zenon sound. Them Boyz out there in Australia
know to how to throw down some tunes. Zenon is Rocks!!

Shadow Fx was created in 2002 by 26 year old James H. from
Melbourne, Australia. James started his musical career studying and playing drums and
guitar in high school. Then at the age of seventeen he discovered psytrance
in and around the famous trance hotspot of Byron Bay.
After listening to and Dj'ing the music for several years,
he decided to move to Melbourne and make a serious effort
to put his own mark on the scene. He bought a computer
and started to produce full time, leading him to the smooth and refined
sound for which he is known today. In recent years he has played
at many parties all over Australia including Rainbow Serpent, Earthdance and
Audiogasm. He has also released compilation tracks on ZMA and Zenon,
plus on Cosmic Conspiracy records with his brother Tetrameth.. In 2007 he
released his debut album Direct Influence on Zenon.
Shadow Fx MySpace

DJ Nokturnal
(Zenon Records, Area 709, Calgary) - DJ Set!

We've been trying to figure out a way to get DJ Nokturnal (Darvin Knorr)
to come out and play for us for a while now and now he's coming.
A recent addition to Zenon, Darvin now is ready to showcase the Zenon sound
at gatherings around the world, which could best be described as: smooth, intelligent
and most definitely nothing but psytrance. Darvin over the last 10 years has been
a very important part of the Canadian electronica community as a promoter, dj
and budding producer DJ Nokturnal has never been one to do something half-way.
Here is a link to check out a mix of his from Symbiosis Gathering this last past year www.area709.com/darvin/music/mix/145/.

((elise)) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 21:56:01 GMT

Hey - this is a strange request for this tribe, but I'm needing a place to rest my head near San Clemente this coming week (2/23-3/2) while i'm at a yoga teacher's training. I don't know the area very well and am on a budget. I am more than willing to throw down a little cash, or do somekind of work-trade for the right (safe & friendly) place. Also, if you know of any hostels or camping (?) in the area. Please let me know. Much thanks, Elise

Any B-Boys and B-Girls out here on Tribe?

Devon d*LISH — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 20:16:39 GMT

CHECK IT YO'!

Who Can Roast The Most? -
Is an event that started in Miami in 1999 by Local Icon and International Bboy Champion Bebe Breakaway(Ground Zero Crew). Named this for the terminology used when one is out-done in a battle(competitive dance situation), it is said of the loosing party"oh you got roasted!".

The event has grown into one of the most highly acclaimed in the BBOY World, for its unique formula and approach.WCRTM has now come to be known as the ultimate in One on One battles,staying clear of the well treaded contests that are ubiquitous among the scene.

WCRTM is an ensemble of characters drawing from talent pools of opposite geographical location culminating in an energetic experience of stylistic dynamism.The best bboys and bgirls in the East or South East face off against the best in the West and Mid-West.Participants under go a grueling 10 rounds while there is no winner announced to add to the hype thats right NO JUDGES. Fans vote online for who they want to see go at it and dream matches are turned into a reality.

WCRTM 7 will go down 2/17/08 for the first time ever in Los Angeles, the line up is full of hefty heayweights ensuring quality battles amongst iconic individuals of well matched stature and compatible styles.

The word is out and the fans are hype as this Mega Event is brought back by popular demand.We hope you can be a part of this History in the making!

Flowing Towards LA

Airina — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 04:33:27 GMT

Hi y'all,

I'm on my way to LA to attend the Masque Ball ala Space Island. I'm originally from Seattle and haven't spent much time in LA.
I'm currently making my leisurely gypsy-esque way to Tucson where I plan to attend the Gem Show at the end of January. I want to spend some days in LA looking around. I have a few friends here to stay with a little and a friend who is dj'ing at the pahartay--but that's about it (I'm used to having a fluffier cushion of buddies). So I thought I'd put out a little heads up in case anyone wants to steer me towards any events, people, places or things that I might like.

I'm a certified yoga instructor and Reiki therapist and I'm also a painter--I'm so into giving yoga/reiki sessions on a sliding scale, or doing mural work, commissions and portraits. I also do live painting at shows with various bands througout Seattle and want to expand on this (ask for more details on this), and am open to all sorts of performance art ideas and installation/collaboration work.

Thanks!
in the light, for the light
Airin Hail

Looking for Tribal Style Instruction in O.C. , Ca.

Honor — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 22:34:53 GMT

Namaste'

I am new to O.C. and searching for instruction in Tribal Belly dance. My goal is to perform with a troupe, but I need to sharpen my skills and get back into the groove first. When I lived in L.A, I had no trouble finding Tribal dancers, but here in O.C. all I have been able to find so far is Cabaret, ATS and the like. I'm looking for earthy, grounded movement and costumes that don't involve boas, bright pink Lycra or shiny gold coins. It's just not my style. Any suggestions are welcomed and greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
Honor

Nita Little \\ first call

Rossella — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 12:52:55 GMT

Caravajal15 residenza dinamica
International Projects 2008

Orvieto \ Italy
April 25–May 2 / 2008

Nita Little
Restless Peace
A mind in motion and Contact Improvisation experience
Residential project for experienced movers

The American performer Nita Little will be the special guest of our association, first time in Italy as guest artist, for giving the project “Restless Peace”. The intensive workshop with Nita Little is in the calendar of our Residential Projects 2008, and will be from April 25 to May 2, 2008 in the beautiful Etruscan city of Orvieto, in middle Italy.

After the end of the workshop, on May 3rd and 4th, the association will plan also two days with the International Springfest Jam.

The intensive workshop and the Jam will be held both at the headquarters of the cultural Association Caravajal15 residenza dinamica, in the prestigious sixteenth century rooms of the Palazzo Caravajal-Simoncelli, in Orvieto.

Application for registration in the project with Nita Little is open from January 7th. For information and more details write to: info@contactfestival.it, or telephone to +39 0763.341479.

Nita Little
Restless Peace
The urge to move, to go where we have never been, is the soul of our practice in this workshop.
Developing a "home base", a place of personal and creative safety is as important as the journey; how wonderful to be free when you have a home! We learn, how like nomads, we may carry our home with us, even as we track paths in and out of unfamiliar territory.
We focus on developing the mental, emotional, and physical skills that enable dancers to travel creatively. Utilizing a full dance vocabulary, we integrate gestured movement improvisation with contact improvisation and build the skills to consciously weave these two forms.

We investigate “states” of mind / “states” of body as a means to develop and direct creative work in our improvisations. Developing the ability to describe and craft subtle levels of action and experience, we boost our physical potential while increasing our readability. Moving in solo, duet and group forms, we gain compositional tools for structural orientation; like torches, they light the way.

This workshop is developed for experienced movers who wish to pass beyond the threshold of old patterns. The restless human drive that takes us out of comfort, urges us to meet the unfamiliar, to move into, through and with the unknown, is a dance artist’s call. Here, we harness that drive and discover how, moving at the speed of our restless calling, we can find peace.

This class culminates in a creative work for performance at the workshop and at Zipfest08.

Things we will do:
Go deep into the physical philosophy behind contact improvisation.
Learn underlying CI principles that manifest as pathways of action.
Build the tools for safe physical and creative relationships
Discover different spatial orientations: vertical/hierarchical and horizontal/diffuse.
Learn about our temporal orientation and develop tools that modulate time.
Develop the skills to be able to move freely between states of mind.
Deepen our agreements to open to life, to the dance.
Honor peace.

about Nita Little
www.nitalittle.com
Nita Little has been developing, choreographing, performing and teaching improvisational dance for the past thirty-six years, notably Contact Improvisation, which she helped evolve from its inception with Steve Paxton, Nancy Stark Smith and others.
She collaborated in numerous performing companies introducing Contact Improvisation throughout the United States. She is a master teacher with former students all over the world, who are themselves now master dancers and teachers: Gretchen Spiro, Andrew Harwood, Frey Faust, Scott Wells, Julie Oak, Peter Bingham to name just a few. Through CI she discovered her abiding interest in the evolution of consciousness and the mind body relationship. Since 1981 she has been developing an evolving curriculum called The Mind in Motion, which explores the range of experiential states along the mind-body continuum and reveals principles that define Contact Improvisation as well as other movement forms. This work is informed by her investigation of the mind through work such as hypnotherapy and NeuroLinguistic Programming.

As a performing artist her current work is a mix of both formal and improvisational choreography and scores. While anchored in process, it frequently explores character, story, and concept.

Nita received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in choreography and was on the California Arts Council Touring Program.
The latter award was to her solo dance company, NITA LITTLE DANCE THEATRE, which she began in 1984, continued through 1990, and reinstated as a pickup company in 2000. In 2002 Nita created Playing God, an hour-long dance opera that received funding through the Dance USA /National Endowment for the Arts.

Over the years Nita has been both faculty and guest artist at numerous colleges and universities including New York University, California Institute for the Arts, Texas Christian University, Temple University, Tufts University, Scripps College and UC Santa Barbara.

Nita teaches and performs yearly at national and international dance festivals including ImPulsTanz, Vienna, The Side Step Festival, Helsinki, Kontakt Budapest International Improvisation Festival, the International Contact Festival Freiburg, Germany,the Seattle Festival of Alternative Dance and Improvisation and the West Coast Contact Improvisation Festival, Berkeley California.
She also teaches locally and nationally throughout the year. She lives with her son in Santa Cruz Mountains in California.

As she has pioneered a path in the understanding of the mind/body/spirit relationship, Nita's mission, conscious evolution, has been the backbone of her passion and her practice. Her goal is to see, feel and reveal grace in all its forms and as it exists in the actions of the mind and the body.

Sweat Your Prayers / Ecstatic Dance in eastern LA?

Supernova — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 00:51:38 GMT

Hi all,
I know there are places to dance in West LA and Venice, but anything in the east? Like around Hollywood, Silverlake, Los Feliz, Downtown, etc?

Please let me know if there is. Itching to dance, but it doesn't make sense to drive 20 miles to do it!

A Nexus New Years Eve

Patrick Harvard — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 19:04:44 GMT

A Nexus New Years Eve

Last year, Ninja Skillz and Blue Insomnia teamed up with crews from The San Diego and L.A. Undergrounds to bring you a party that was the antithesis to the norm. You could go out for Amateur Night and take out a loan to do so, or you could come rock out with your friends and family. An alternate reality where the door charge was cheap, the drinks were strong and inexpensive, and the music went all night long. A place that is momentous because you are there and your friends and family are with you. It is our way of giving back for all of the support that you've given us over the year.

This year, we're doing it again. DJ Wolfie and the Los Angeles Lounge Association are joining Blue Insomnia and Ninja Skillz to provide a place where you can celebrate the passing of 365 days and charge into the next with a renewed sense of joy and community.
