THE SINGULARITY ARTS FESTIVAL
MAY 11-14TH,Thursday thru Sunday, 2006
Salutations from the SINGULARITY ARTS FESTIVAL Event Team!
Here is the second official announcement!
Included are some details you need to know in order to participate to your fullest potential!
In this blast, we'll go over the who, what, where, why and how.
Who?
Las Vegas and Los Angeles Regional Burning Man communities are coming together to create a larger event that together we can take higher and build stronger. We are very excited about this opportunity and venture.
What?
The concept is simple. We will provide a well-supported empty space for you to come, express, experience and create. This event exists SOLEY ON YOUR PARTICIPATION. That means - WE ALL NEED EACH OTHER, AS WELL AS ALL OF OUR ART!
Where?
Roach Lake, Nevada.
(Southwest of Las Vegas, about a three hour drive from L.A., just across the California/Nevada state line )
Buy your tickets now! singularity.inticketing.com
Why?
It is time for local Burning Man regions to reach out to one
another. It is time to work together beyond our disparate regions and unite, expand, and gain strength. We want to stretch beyond our borders and integrate ourselves in the name of Art, Creation, and Community. This event is NOT about Las Vegas or Los Angeles. It is about community. It is about YOU! We look forward to seeing people from all regions taking part in Singularity. Tickets have already been purchased by participants in 8 states!
We are reaching out, and inviting diverse communities, not only burning communities, to join us. Expect large-scale pyro
installations. In addition to the many styles of music that can be found at Burning Man, the Las Vegas Jam Band Society will create a theme camp to host live bands. Each community will add to the overall experience of this event. The significance lies NOT in the similarities, but rather in the diversities.
How?
It starts by purchasing a presale ticket now. There are only a finite number of tickets available. This event will be limited to 1,000 attendees, maximum. This is part of our permit, and is a fixed number in accordance with an agreement with the BLM. When the tickets are gone, the event will be sold out. All participants, planners, & performers are buying a ticket. Every single one of us is paying, every single one of us is participating.
Here are 7 critical areas you can participate in at Singularity:
1- A CALL FOR ART
2- REGISTER YOUR THEME CAMP
3- A CALL FOR MUSICIANS AND PERFORMERS
4- VOLUNTEERS
5- FIRE SPINNING AND LARGE SCALE PYRO
6- LEAVE NO TRACE
7- TICKETING
1- A CALL FOR ART:
CONTACT: art@thesingularityevent.com
Do you remember the first time you saw a work of art that moved you in a powerful way? When you stood there in awe, and experienced it, remember how you felt your emotions wash over you? It felt good to be alive. Well, YOU are that artist now! So do the work, and BRING YOUR ART OUT TO THIS EVENT! People are coming from all over the country
to be touched and moved by your creation. Sculptures, paintings, and fourth dimensional constructs, anything that is your art. It is worthy. It is special. It is worth bringing out. You never know who your art will touch and inspire.

-(Just kidding on the last one, but come on! register!)
3. A CALL FOR MUSICIANS AND PERFORMERS:
CONTACT: performance@thesingularityevent.com
Are you a fire spinner, hooper, performance troupe, drummer, band, dj, hawaiian nose hummer, Gregorian chanter? Do you play the Butt Flute? YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO SHARE YOUR MUSIC WITH EACH OTHER.
There are several ways to perform at the event. The first way is to host your own theme camp. Or, you can contact us, and we'll connect you with theme camps that are hosting performance areas, where you can perform as their guest. There will be a small performance area at center camp for eclectic performers, spoken word, and fire troupes
that perform to a CD.
Theme camps with music should have works of art, decoration, and places to hang out. Do not just bring a stack of speakers and call yourself a theme camp. If you are doing a performance area, we want you to bring lights, decoration, and seating. Create your area.
* A few rules on sound: theme camps with music will be asked to give 3 one hour time slots each day to guest performers. This should increase the number of people dancing in your area. Plus, it's fun to meet new people (and maybe meet your next and finest new Lover!),
and creates a generous environment for performers traveling from far away.
* A note on volume. If it’s after 3 am at night, go to half volume.
* Be respectful of your neighbors.
4. VOLUNTEERS:
CONTACT: www.thesingularityevent.com or email directly the department you want to help.
Information available on the website.
There's a lot of juice in volunteering. Each area needs helpers. Contact us now so we can get you in the loop.
5-FIRE SPINNING AND LARGE SCALE PYRO:
CONTACT: fire@thesingularityevent.com
We are encouraging all large-scale fire sculptures and fire
performers to attend. Please contact us so we can explain how fire safety, equipment checks, and registration will work. You must contact us before the event if you want to bring fire gear of any kind.
6-LEAVE NO TRACE:

Only with your help and dedication can we use this land again. By policing your own trash, and that of your camp mates, we will all be able to enjoy this event next year. This IS a LEAVE NO TRACE event!
