<div>I'm looking to join a local troupe of dancers, aerialists, performers, etc. i'm talented and cooperative, and can take direction as well as contribute creatively and energetically to projects for performance and community involvement/service. i have some experience with several types of dance, theater, voice, and costuming; i have more experience with creativity and imagination than formal technique but am a quick study. if you are holding auditions or want to form a group, i'd like to try out or join the conversation. <br/> <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/bohemiancarnival">Bohemian Carnival</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Hey <br/> <br/>There's this new opera and they need help. <br/> <br/>I'm putting out a call for folks who might want to donate some time to an amazing project. <br/>You can hear the demo here www.burningopera.com &amp;lt;http://www.burningopera.com> <br/>This is a link to more of the recorded music http://www.thereallybig.com/how%20to%20survive%20the%20apocalypse/ <br/> <br/>Here's the full story on this piece. <br/> <br/>A guy named Mark Nichols, a brilliant composer and Erik Davis, a brilliant writer got together with some talented folks and created this piece. <br/>They have about 20 minutes written and recorded. Mark is planning on writing 10 more songs. It's dark, it's freakish, it spans all genres, it is beautiful and haunting. It will be a theatrical stage play. The long term goal is to tour it in a much larger community involved type road show. <br/>This piece "How to survive the Apocalypse" being the main attraction. <br/> <br/>At the moment there is no budget for this. I am donating my time producing and my theatre for auditions, rehearsals and 2 nights in January to stage <br/>the 20 minutes they have written. Our hope in staging this is to gather more interest, performers, perhaps investors, and basically see how it looks and sounds on stage. <br/> <br/>I'll post the audition/rehearsal/show schedule below. <br/> <br/>This is what Mark Nichols is looking for and some of the roles: <br/> <br/>:::::As far as band, we're looking for volunteers who really like the music and can see themselves in the band. I'd like them to audition along with the actors. Looking for people who are comfortable with an audience and who've played a lot of theater. Looking for players with a great sense (and LOVE) of dynamics. Generally a theater band has to play more quietly and intensely than they're used to and make it full. Would appreciate people who are very comfortable with funk and breakbeat. Listen to the demo at www.burningopera.com &amp;lt;http://www.burningopera.com> <br/>and see if it is what you want to be doing. Must be prepared for theatrix. If you're interested in assistant music directing and conducting the shows please say so now.:::: <br/> <br/>As far as cast, singing is highest priority and good harmony singing at that. Looking for freaks and talented actor/movers/people who can connect honestly. Looking for voices that make people jealous. <br/> <br/>Jean Geanie: a drag queen must be able to sing harmony <br/>A young dude who will play the young dude , Bud "It's time to party..." A good singer/dancer good look, versitle, maybe plays an instrument <br/>A bass or baritone who can play the 'Mustachio' part. He's a provacateur. Maybe a puppeteer, mime or clown. Anarchist. <br/>Another woman chorus, good look, hopefully sings harmony great and can play a band instrument or strings, or can do Bulgarian Women's choir style or opera. <br/>Bass Player <br/>Theatrical drummer, (this is someone who can play with bundled stick or brushes and has excellent sense of dynamics) <br/>Keyboard/DJ type (good musician and computer geek) plays Djembe also <br/>Video op <br/>Guitar <br/>Maybe some horns or strings (violin or viola) <br/> <br/>We're also looking for: <br/>Costumers <br/>Stage Managers <br/>Light Tech <br/>Sound Tech <br/>Set designers <br/>Production Assistant <br/>Assistant Director <br/>Promotions <br/>Investors <br/> <br/>If this interests you at all please get a hold of myself (ty@stagewerx.org) or mark at mn@thereallybig.com <br/> <br/>Auditions (tentative) Saturday Nov 7th 2p-5p Sunday Nov 8th 2p-5p <br/> <br/>REHEARSALS <br/>Sunday December 7 1pm <br/>Sunday December 14th 1pm <br/>Sunday December 21st 1pm <br/>Sunday December 28th 1pm <br/> <br/>Tuesday December 30th 6pm <br/> <br/>Sunday January 4th 1pm <br/>Tuesday January 6th 6pm <br/> <br/>Sunday January 11th 1pm Tech <br/>Monday January 12th 6pm Tech <br/>Tuesday January 13th 6pm Tech <br/>Wednesday January 14th 6pm Dress <br/> <br/>SHOWS <br/>Friday January 16th 8pm Show <br/>Saturday January 17th 8pm Show</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/bohemiancarnival">Bohemian Carnival</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Call for Entertainers! <br/> <br/>Come help us entertain at Home! Home Camp will be our Burning Man installation this year - it is a 3000 sq. foot, pre-turn of the century Victorian period v. Steampunk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk) themed chill space on the esplanade. We are turning this large tented space into a dream Victorian home for lush lounging, chilling, entertaining and more. <br/> <br/>Whimsy. Flights of fancy. Slights of hand. Lace and laughter. Bears on bikes. Contortionists. Juggling unicyclers. Spontaneous performance artists, mimes, gymnasts and illusionists - we need your skills. We need your help. We are looking for creative performers of all kinds to provide escapes from the norm, however large or small. <br/> <br/>This will be an incredibly cool plush chill space for non-primetime performance and art. If what you do is fun to watch, interact with, listen to, or if it teases up the audiences sensibilities, we want to hear from you. <br/> <br/>Contact <br/> <br/>ariel@durari.com <br/>Or <br/>tomaramirez@yahoo.com <br/> <br/>for more information or to pass along your info (who you are / what you do), a web site, demo, images, etc. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Thanks, <br/> <br/> <br/>your friends at )^(ome Camp <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/bohemiancarnival">Bohemian Carnival</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>See the photos here: http://www.theblight.net/08/edc <br/> <br/>Vau de Vire Society, Gooferman and Fou Fou Ha!, joined by our darling friends Cirque Berzerk and the Wandering Marionettes, were brought in to perform at the Electric Daisy Carnival in downtown Los Angeles. We had been warned: it was candy raver central, with music so loud it hurt. I thought that demographic had died a decade ago, but alas: a bastion of plush rainbowbright remains amongst the fifteen-year-olds in the arid southron lands of this fair state. Who knew? <br/> <br/>For those who aren’t familiar with the term, please see Wikipedia’s candy raver entry -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_raver . Know that we hid in performer areas as much as possible and no, I took no photos of them (potential legality issues aside (plus, if their mothers saw what they were wearing…)).</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/bohemiancarnival">Bohemian Carnival</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Aloha Bohemian Carnival! <br/> <br/>Has it really been a year since we both discovered each other? as crazy as that might sound, it's true! And really I gotta say I have had more fun rocking the Bohemian Carnival then any other party in SF. Really it's true. We've got a great thing going and I cannot wait to rock beats for all y'all once again. I mean, Remember the Hay Maze party? How much fucking fun was that? and Decompression? <br/> <br/>So listen, I need a little bit of help from the Bohemian Carnival this week. The last day to vote for the nitevibe dj dream team is this friday. Now I know y'all don't really get into this whole Cult Of DJ thing (and really I don't blame you...) BUT it would mean a great deal to me if we could continue this amazing and wondrous trip that we're on. I'm doing chin-ups on the bottom rung of the top ten and I need all the support I can mobilize for this last push to the end. And with your support, I think we can do it! <br/> <br/>So please, take a few moments to let your voice be heard and VOTE SMOOVE! <br/>http://www.nitevibe.com/dt07/page1.asp <br/> <br/>My name's about 7/8 of the way down... <br/> <br/>peace, <br/>Smoove.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/bohemiancarnival">Bohemian Carnival</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>To any and all of you that were in Portland for the opening of the Hippodrome (Boenobo and Vegas good to see you both again) that stuck around for the afterparty and danced your asses off to Gypsy Sound System and GlobalRuckus, Gypsy Sound System (all the way from Switzerland) will be playing this Friday at Amnesia. Gypsy beats, balkan bangers, klezmer dancehall and more. I told them I'd talk them up in the Bay, so that's what I'm doing. They ARE fantastic. Should there be any type of afterparty type thing going on that night, they LOVE afterparties, so if your so inclined, show up, dance your ass off and ply them with vodka and beer. <br/>Wish I was able to be down for the show. <br/>Happy Thanksgiving to you all. <br/>Best <br/>Kurt (GlobalRuckus)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/bohemiancarnival">Bohemian Carnival</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>fab show, as usual <br/>but it kinda starts sour when ya gotta get padded down for packn heat <br/>before, uh, goin to dance... <br/>and, in fact, silly security confiscates yer keychain bottle opener <br/>but misses the can of pepper spray entirely... and a couple of other things... <br/>whatever. <br/> <br/>the club left some of the nekyia girls in the dark on their floor-level stage <br/>and i dunno if gooferman quite got the rockstar spotlights they deserve and wear so well <br/>(but rather some camoflouge'y pattern of shadows... uhh...) <br/> <br/>blehhh can the fest not be there again, if possible... <br/>i think a single room venue with an active m.c./showman/host makes the night way more circus-y <br/> <br/>but, you know, with THE show <br/>i'm entirely pleased... thanks for a fab night <br/>and see you next time</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/bohemiancarnival">Bohemian Carnival</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>New bohemians. A recent Saturday, 11:47 p.m.: When Gooferman, a clown-faced art band, took the stage, it seemed as if someone had lit a match, igniting an urban wildfire fueled by the city's howling underground society. On the one-year anniversary of the almost monthly Bohemian Carnival, the floor of the DNA Lounge was transformed into a lustful pit of excitement as scantily clad dancers licked each other and hula hoopers in hot pants gyrated in front of a voyeuristic pack of photographers. A single trapeze artist twisting overhead also commanded a generous allotment of oohs and ahhs. Even the squarest-looking souls lurking in the quiet corners were dancing on their bar stools by the third song. San Francisco is where the wild things are.

<div>Hi and thanks in advance for your interest in this survey. As a member of the San Francisco Circus Center’s Clown Conservatory class of 2007 I am required to do a research project. In general, there is not much written on the history of circus, and the research projects are an attempt to begin to enlarge the library of information pertaining both to the past and present. I’m looking towards the future, and would like to begin to break ground to bring recognition and respect to alternative circus and clowning- aka “cirkus” and “clowning”. Feel free to answer the questions below with as much or as little information as you see fit. You do not have to answer all of them (but please give me at least one name). Be honest, tell me off, tell clowns off, tell klowns off, whatever you want. Please send a private message with your answers, and feel free to forward to any and all that might be interested and willing to participate. Thanks, Cynthia <br/> <br/>---------------------------------------------- <br/> <br/>Name: <br/> <br/>Performer/Character name: <br/> <br/>Email address and/or phone number: <br/> <br/>Can I contact you for further discussion of your anwers? <br/> <br/>In the final presentation of my research, would you prefer to have your real name used, your performer name, or both or neither (remain anonymous). <br/> <br/>Do you identify as a male or female or other? If other, please describe. <br/> <br/>Do you define yourself as Klown or Clown or both? <br/> <br/>In your opinion, what is the difference, if any? <br/> <br/>What does Klown mean to you? <br/> <br/>If you feel there a difference between circus and cirkus please share your definitions. <br/> <br/>Do you perform? <br/> <br/>Where? <br/> <br/>How/what do you perform? (for example, walk-around, rehearsed stage act, improvised stage act, etc.) <br/> <br/>If you have an act, please describe it. <br/> <br/>If you have a character, please describe it. <br/> <br/>Does your character identify as a male or female or other? If other, please describe. <br/> <br/>Please describe your costume/s, if any. <br/> <br/>Who is your audience? <br/> <br/>Do you want to be accepted and respected as a circus professional or are you just playing? <br/> <br/>Do you care if traditional and formally trained circus professionals don’t respect what you do? <br/> <br/>What would you say to them? <br/> <br/>What is your training, if any? <br/> <br/>Have you done any research on the history of circus or clowning? Please describe. <br/> <br/>Do you have any photos you would be willing to share? Please send to cynthia (at) jugglenyc (dot) com with the subject “Klown Photos” (even if you are a Clown). <br/> <br/>Would you be willing to come to the San Francisco Circus Center on Tuesday January 2 in costume? You would not be required to perform an act, but if you wanted to that would be great. I will be choosing one person, provided that at least one of you is willing. <br/> <br/>------------------------------------------------------- <br/> <br/>Clown vs Klown Project Proposal <br/> <br/>The purpose of this project will be to attempt to have the members of the subversive/alternative/underground clown/circus community define themselves, their style and their purpose, if any. "Klown", as I understand it, began as a movement of subversive clowning with a major theme of sex, sexuality- especially including sexual deviance. With the growing visibility of subcultures such as the Burning Man community, subversive/alternative/underground circus and clowning is gaining in popularity and with it we find term "klown" used more and more in areas unrelated to the sexual origins. Granted, the distinction is primarily made on the internet, based on the spelling of the word, however rather than detracting from the significance I believe this adds to it; the internet continues to have a major impact on our society which in turn is certainly creating changes in circus and clowning both in how they are approached and received. <br/> <br/> The foundation of my research will be interviewing individuals who define themselves as and by "circus", regardless of whether or not they are actual circus performers or just freaks spinning fire at a warehouse party under a free-standing aerial rig. Based on the small amount of research I have done the subversive circus and the klown are mostly unexplored. Many in the subversive/alternative/underground circus movement don't understand the rich tradition behind the circus that you know and that I am learning about, but they are creating their own traditions and growing in numbers so quickly that it can't be ignored. In the Burning Man community alone the number of stiltwalkers, aerialists, and "clowns" has multiplied exponentially in the past three years since I first attended the event; there are no less than four "circuses" performing nightly, the stiltwalkers gathering went from 30 to nearly 100 in attendance, and this past year the numbers of people who considered themselves “in circus” were large enough to create a village, called appropriately enough The Red Nose District. <br/> <br/>In part it irritates the hell out of me because I don't want them subverting or invalidating the tradition I am breaking my neck to be a part of, and at the same time it fascinates me because the "families" they are creating are as rich and tight as what I understand traditional circus families to be. And, admittedly, there is more than one alternative circus that I have longed to be a part of. <br/> <br/>I could go on endlessly, but much of my though is circular at this point, which is one of the reasons I chose this subject. I want to begin to understand the relationships and the distinctions between the old and the new, the traditional and the alternative. <br/> <br/> <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/bohemiancarnival">Bohemian Carnival</a> - 1 reply </div>
