ReBirth Hawaii Burning Man Regional in Two Weeks!!

Rebirth 2008, the Hawaii Interactive Arts Festival, will open the Gate to the public at
8AM Thursday May 15th. 2 weeks from now!

Registration has closed for themecamps (volunteer registration is still open), the
art grant cycle is closed, and the low income ticket application deadline has passed.
The $40 tickets online are almost gone and the rest of the $40 tickets are going fast
(they are sold locally only on the Big Island). Please help us fund the event by
buying a ticket early, and the earlier you buy it the cheaper it will be.
You can buy a ticket online at www.kapilina.org or in a number of outlets
on the 4 main islands, go to the website for all of the details.

Here is a sampling of the interactive art you can look forward to:

Art Grant Applicants submitted, to date, are as follows:
A local glass blower named John Cobb provides portable glass blowing studio
down to rebirth to create a sculpture inspired by the festival, people and environs.
Elizabeth Immel and local folk to paint 7 to 10 people in full body paint. This is an
interactive community process / project.
Local burner Rose (that's Ranger Rose!) is going to build a day glow / lit installation
of a Phoenix with propane and tube lights.
Local artist Samantha Black will provide a body & mural paint station with
edible paints made from pudding.
Local fire artist Jason Hester (Fuego Drago) is building a large lantern he'll ignite
with pele's fire, and then return to the shire with the lit lantern.
Transfire, the Big Island's local fire conclave, will provide Saturday night fire performance
before the ceremonial burn of the Phoenix.
Other non-grant-funded art to appear at Rebirth:
Local musician/artist (Reed Richard) is going to put on a few performance art pieces
- playing his own music, and in ritualistic costume. "Combining crystal grids,
merkaba activations, acoustic and electronic sounds (alto sax, bass clarinet,
vibraphone, enhanced with effects pedals and slight amplification...
voice moving meditation with plant-based apparrel."
Evaporating Heartbeat. "Free form improvised late night implosion of consciousness..."
performed by Reed Richard + others... (this might be Jerome's group?)
Local artists Hope & Luckey will present the "Solar Secrets Tipi". Small-size tipi
made of burn-able materials (dry bamboo), plastic and paper. Surrounded by
solar lights for night-time use, this tipi is intended as a temple to your secrets.
Scrawl your secrets inside, and [hopefully], they'll be burned sacrificially.
Local artists Hope & Luckey will present "Transformation" ... a three-part installation
of a catepillar, empty crysalis, and flying butterfly. Materials will consist of everything
we can possibly find.

The Absent Friends Shakespeare Group will be performing impromptu plays in
full costume, as a roving group, throughout the event.
