fire lessons in dc?

ruby.roxxx — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 23:05:17 GMT

hello, I'm new to tribe.net. I am looking to learn how to eat fire, spin poi, and become more entrenched in the fiery performing arts. Does anyone know of classes/instructors/fire eaters that would offer private instruction, etc? I'm moving out of the area in August and there seem to be no fire eaters where I'm headed :-(.
Thanks!

HIPS Benefit - Call for Performers!

mavi — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 15:33:20 GMT

Please help us spread the word!

HIPS is seeking performers for our 2nd annual Variety Show at the Palace of Wonders on November 16th! Last year this event packed the house and raised over $3,000 for HIPS programs assisting sex workers in leading healthy lives.

HIPS is seeking performers of all kinds for our show (burlesque, lip-synching, bellydance, hoping, fire, aerialists, side show, drag king & queen, anything!). Performers will receive a free HIPS t-shirt, professional quality cd of pictures of their performance, promotion on our website, and a donation letter for tax purposes, and of course, the chance to be a part of a great show to a sold-out audience! Performance proposals of up to 10 minutes are being accepted!

HIPS provides counseling, education and support to individuals engaging in sex work or sex trade in the DC area. Our programs include street-based outreach, weekly support groups, HIV prevention education, counseling, assistance in crisis and a 24-hour hotline that assist sex workers in reducing their risks for violence, abuse, HIV infection, and risks associated with drug use or abuse. HIPS also does public advocacy to help reduce the discrimination and violence faced by sex workers. Last year HIPS programs made over 6,000 contacts with sex workers in the DC area, answered over 300 hotline calls and provided hundreds of hours of counseling and assistance.

If you’re interested in performing for the cause email HIPS-at-HIPS.org with information on your act, kind of equipment or support needed, and a brief performance history! We’re looking to create a unique and one-of-a-kind show!

Thanks for supporting HIPS. For more information on our programs, visit: www.HIPS.org!

Sincerely,

Cyndee Clay
Executive Director

Looking for something to do after the 4th festivities? I'll be hooping it up with a new 50s inspired act at the Palace of Wonders' Weirdo Show this Thursday, July 5th (Show at 8:00 pm, only $6!!!) ... AND...

If you're thinking that it would be a perfect weekend to hang out on the Mall, you're right! This Saturday (7/7/07) is World Hoop Day! We'll be celebrating from noon-2:00 pm at the northside of the Washington Monument. I'll have lots of hoops and the weather is supposed to be great! Plus, the Folklife Festival will be happening too.

Mabjustmab — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 22:49:05 GMT

I have noticed a lack of hubabubuloo here (and even in the rest of tribe.net)

well, that's all well and good.

but how are you going to hear about all the great things going on?
how are you going to meet other freaky folks who do the wierd things you do?
when are you going to stumble across that new and exciting art form that you previously unheard of?

come out, come out, whoever you are!

tell us a little bit about yourself, what you do, throw in a promotional blurb and whatnot.

really, I'm hoping to meet more than just bellydancers (no offense to the lovlies - some of my best friends are bellydancers). the idea is for a tribe that features ~all~ the DC freaky fun activities.

the nude project

belladonnadancer — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 06:09:39 GMT

My friend Joshua Hoffman & i are teaming up to do a book project together!

http://www.photobyjoshua.com/tnp/

the premis: to photograph real (not just professionaly models) to show the beauty each woman, what ever shape or size!

Nudity is powerful, revealing and honest. This book features nude pictures of women in many shapes and sizes. Through this work we celebrate their beauty and individuality. It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, typically these are words formed in the mind of the viewer. In an effort to offer the viewer something beyond the photographs, each woman will contribute her own words about herself and her experience posing. The combination of these elements offers the viewer not only the images of their body, but also a glimpse into their mind and spirit.

WE are looking for models!!! please contact us if you are interested :o)

Tonight's DCTribal Cafe is Cancelled! See you next month!

mavi — Sun, 25 Feb 2007 20:13:19 GMT

Hey everybody -- given the weather we're going to err on the side of safety and cancel tonight's DCTribal Cafe. If the National Weather Service is right – we’re looking at freezing rain at 6pm, we’re worried about our loyal tribal café attendees being on the roads!

But -- No Worries! We'll be back next month with an amazing line up -- Yameena and Belladonna will perform their sets in at March's cafe and Asharah will join us again in April.

So...keep your eyes open for the March 25th Tribal Café poster!

Interested? Please contact her directly: Nadine - nbloch@igc.org.

_____________

Calling all Artists, Puppetistas, Noisemakers, Shakers and Movers:::

Proposed meeting place: ***THIS MAY CHANGE, please check in with us on Friday for up to the minute info!!!

LIKELY MEETING PLACE::From 11 AM until the march kicks off, find us on the mall, a bit
west of the corner of Constitution Avenue and 4th Street, NW.
Just follow the sound of the drums.
**Dress warm, bring snacks, drinks!!

*** We will have a giant Red Devil puppet as well as a Goddess of Insurrection and Resistance!
It would be GREAT if you could dress either in Reds/Oranges/Black OR WHites/Yellows/Pale colors. We need more Red/Orange Devil minions !!

Here is a draft call to action about the Demo, with the DEVIL theme explained::

Does D.C. Smell of Sulfur?

On January 27, BEAT THE DEVIL with the Arts Bloc contingent of the UFPJ

The Washington Action Group (WAG) is calling on culture workers to join
together in all of our diabolical (and anti-diabolic) madness to march
in a theatrical bloc that will engage themes of a devilish nature,
like: Will the Dems fail the test of satan and betray the anti-war
vote that brought them to office? Could it be that Hugo Chavez actually
saw the devil in Bush? Does D.C. need an exorcism? How can you beat the
devil in YOU? How might the angel of light reveal the true forces behind the war?

WHAT WE WILL PROVIDE:

* 16 foot tall Devil puppet.
* Some minion.
* Stilt walkers.
* A Goddess puppet.

WHAT WE NEED:

* Beats! How else will we 'Beat the Devil'?
* Flames! Let's make the Devil feel a false sense of comfort by wearing fire inspired clothing (red, orange, yellow...) and bringing all the fire performers we know.
* Inventive characters that can play in to this dramatic struggle between good and evil in times of war.
* Let us know you're coming and how you plan to plug in! Contact:: nbloch(at)igc.org

D.C. Area Artist Healthcare Meet-up

Mabjustmab — Tue, 10 Oct 2006 21:27:31 GMT

reposted from the Dance/Metro DC list -

Monday 10/30/06, 7-9PM -- Round House Theatre Education Center, Silver Spring, MD
RSVP: adam.natale@fracturedatlas.org or 212-277-8023
Healthcare insurance in the United States is expensive, inaccessible, and confusing… And no one knows it better than artists. We are victims of a system that locks us out and prevents us from obtaining the care we need.
But, there is strength in numbers. Artists in the D.C. area are joining forces to address this problem head-on. We need your help.
The national arts organization Fractured Atlas (www.fracturedatlas.org) is working to have an affordable healthcare plan available to D.C.-area artists by mid-2007. But, the first step towards reaching this goal is collecting the data needed to negotiate competitive rates with insurers.
That� s where you come in.

On Monday, October 30th, from 7-9PM, we will be having a meet-up where you can share your thoughts,
ideas, and concerns regarding the issue. The event will be co-hosted by Dance/MetroDC, the Arts & Humanities Council of Montgomery County, the League of Washington Theatres, and Round House Theatre and will be held at the Round House Theatre Education Center at 925 Wayne Avenue in Silver Spring.
Light food and beverages will be provided. We are also hoping to provide free healthcare screenings by RediClinic on a first-come, first-served basis.
Seating is limited, so please RSVP by Friday, 10/27 to adam.natale@fracturedatlas.org with your name and artistic discipline (dance, theater, film, etc) and place “RSVP” in the subject line. You can also call Fractured Atlas directly at 212-277-8023 to reserve your spot.
And, if you haven� t already, please take a few moments to complete our online healthcare survey at: www.fracturedatlas.org/healthcare/survey.
Your input will be the critical first step towards improving the quality of life for those who, like yourself, enrich the lives of others.

Directions to the Round House Theatre Education Center (ample free parking is available):
Metro: Red Line to Silver Spring
The Center is located approximately two blocks from station. Metro riders should walk northwest on Wayne Avenue towards downtown Silver Spring. We are located at 925 on the ground floor of the Montgomery County parking garage.
From the Capital Beltway (I-495)
Take either the Georgia Avenue or the Colesville Road exit south toward Silver Spring.
From Georgia Avenue
Follow Georgia Avenue south into downtown Silver Spring. After several traffic lights you will cross Colesville Road. Make a left turn onto Wayne Avenue at the light. The parking garage is on your left. The center is on the ground floor.
From Colesville Road
Follow Colesville Road south into downtown Silver Spring. You will cross Sligo Creek Parkway, Dale Drive, and Spring Street and then make a left turn onto Fenton Street at the light. The second light will be Wayne Avenue. Turn right on Wayne Avenue.

Dance/MetroDC Director's Note to the Dance Community-
I realize this event falls on the same night as the Celebration for Mary Day at the Kennedy Center and I apologize in advance if this causes concern. Please join us if you are free as it will be beneficial for them to hear from the dance community! I will put out notes from the meeting.
Thank you,
Johanna Seltzer
Project Director
Dance/MetroDC

not much going on conversation wise here...but

Mabjustmab — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 15:48:55 GMT

I figure I would post my own bits about what's going on.

it looks like this tribe has morphed into a promo tribe, which, is relatively fine by me. of course, the whole rest of the tribe-o-sphere is basicly a big promo machine as well.

here's one more blurb about what I'm doing these days...

I've received several requests to start the beginner doumbek classes back up!

I'm starting up my second semester of drum classes this week, starting Wednesday (tomorrow!!!)!

classes are from 7pm till 8:30pm - 1.5 hours for $15.

they are designed to help you build a solid foundation, and should be easy for anyone to hop in.

also, there has been some murmuring of and indoor drum jam on Thursday nights while the fire artists are spinning outside. since we have neighbors, unfortunately, we can't be drumming outside. but still, having drummers nearby really adds something amazing!

so folks, let me know if you are interested/planning on coming out on Wednesday or Thursday or both!!!!!

I'm going to cross post this in about a million places too, but feel free to pass the word on as well

oh, and one last thing! if you are interested in intermediate Arabic drumming, or any other style of drumming, I know of several other great percussionists in the are who I could pass you on to!

thanks for reading!
let me know if you have any other questions!

Hooping Lessons, Demos and Fun -- Thur., August 24th in COLUMBIA, MD

JessLikeAGirl — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 05:26:23 GMT

Please join me and a handful of absolutely adorable, really talented hoopers this coming Thursday, August 24th , from 7-8:30 p.m. for an evening of hooping lessons, demos and general F-U-N. If you've never hooped before and swear you can't hoop at all, then I bet you've never tried hooping with the new type of custom-made hoops available today: they are high-calibre, heavy, adult-sized hoops.

This is a family-friendly event, and hoopers of all abilities and ages are welcome.

If you have a hoop already, please bring it to use. The event is free for people bringing their own hoops, children under four and "curious onlookers." If you want a rent a hoop, they'll be available for $5. Plus, if you want to buy your own hoop, two professional hoopers and hoop-makers (Talia, aka Miss Joule and a performer at the newly opened Palace of Wonders; and Noelle, aka HoopingPowers, recently awarded Hoop Master of North Avenue and a hoop instructor at Glen Echo Park, among other venues) will be selling hand-made hoops in the range of $18 - $50. Cash or checks only.

Hey, I hope to see you this Thursday. Feel free to pass along this email to folks who might be interested.

The event is in Columbia, Md. off of Marsh Hawk Way.

D.C. [College Park] Playmates

fzal — Mon, 31 Jul 2006 16:25:14 GMT

The University of Maryland was kind enough to ask me to come give a lecture this week, so I am flying into D.C. on Wednesday morning. Since funding for the temporary sculpture commission did not quite come through, and I had already booked my airline / accommodations, I seem to have two open days, and thought it might be nice to connect up with the community, learn about some fun things to do / places to go while I am in town.

Wanna come out and play?
[please contact me through my profile directly]

My only plans at the moment are do go check out the Hirschhorn Museum [as I have not been there in quite some time], and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial sculpted by Maya Lin.

Ciao,
Fredrick

Sorry for the xpost - ATS Class interest?

DC-Mars — Wed, 24 May 2006 23:05:39 GMT

I am looking to start up a formal "pure" ATS (not to be confused with P.U.R.E.) class after I return from the FC General Skills certification weeklong next month. Before I jump in and commit myself to studio rental, I thought I would poll the DC Tribal folks and see if

a) there is any interest in such a class
b) what day/time has the least conflicts

For those who do not know me, I was an original member of Devyani in Birmingham, AL before moving to the DC area last year. I am going to SanFran in a few weeks for the general skills certification with Carolena and hope to schedule the second half of teacher certification as soon as possible/practical. My class(es) will be 100% FatChance/Devyani style ATS improv. At first I will be offering a "basics" level class focusing on the posture and foundation moves of ATS. Since it is the format that I know and love, I would imagine that my class description & progression will be based on Devyani's class structure. Of course, after spending a week at the FC studio, that may change a bit. :)

At the moment I do not have a studio space, so I realize that any response to this can/may be affected by where and when the class ends up happening.

So - anyone intrigued?
