This is a copy of the materials that were passed out at orientation:
We are delighted you are interested in joining the Los Angeles branch of PURE ~ Public Urban Ritual Experiment.
PURE is a collective of dancers taking music and dance into the streets for the purpose of healing and peace. PURE's goal is to affect positive change within ourselves, each other, within the audience, and the greater society. Our dance brings together ancient sacred world traditions including Middle Eastern, Chinese, Romani gypsy, Israeli folk, Flamenco, and Indian dance.
PURE LA's rehearsal will be conducted in an American Tribal Style format. Official choreography will be more eclectic, and our additional performance pieces will adhere to the improvisational ATS style. Dancers can elect to perform just the official PURE choreography or take part in the improvisational pieces as well. Dancers must regularly attend rehearsals and exhibit competency with the movements and choreography to be included in performances.
Rehearsals will be weekly through September 2008. At that point, frequency may be subject to change.
All dancers who show a genuine commitment will have a voice in how the branch operates. Opportunities will be available for extra responsibilities in the future, and dancers with special skills or resources will have the opportunity to contribute to the group as officers if they so desire.
Full manuals will be handed out at the first rehearsal for a startup donation of $5, which includes a three-ring binder with all materials, including a CD of the music for the foundation choreography. Monthly dues will be in the neighborhood of $10, with a discount available for a full year paid at once.
We will be announcing the date, time, and location of the first rehearsal very soon. If you've turned in your dancer information sheet, you will receive all updates and relevant information via email. Feel free to share this information with other dancers and invite them to the first rehearsal. We will be holding an orientation for musicians at a later date, as well.
