Hackett, A.K.A Tinfoilman
The central concept of this workshop is to create interactivity through
the process of making art together. Several large scale art pieces will
be completed by the end of the festival and will represent the community
of people that participated in making them. After Lightning in a Bottle
the artwork will be taken to the Orange County Fair and made part of another
workshop, allowing the art to viewed by that public. Every-
one will be welcome to participate: children with their parents, artists,
and non artists alike. They will be taught valuable skills while working
towards a common goal
Monkey
Chant
The Rhythmic Interplay of Community Voice by One People
Voice and Gamelan X
A Participation-Performance of Building Community Energy and Power through
the Weaving of Our Voices.
We inspire people to open up and find their voice. Together, we build
community connection and energy through opening our individual voices
powerfully while inter-weaving with, and simultaneously listening to,
the many voices of others in community.
We guide participants into a dynamic community performance where all are
encouraged toward expression within a vibrant structure.
The foundation of the experience is inspired largely by the vocal rhythms
of Balinese Kecak [KETjak], also known as Monkey Chant.
The great Master Dogen said, "To study the Buddha Way is to study the self, to study the self is to forget the self, and to forget the self is to be enlightened by the ten thousand things."
While one might assume that meditation is a solitary endeavor, which indeed it is, there is something so sweet and special when a group of people sits together. By sitting together in silence, we create a sacred space. Brief instruction will be given on the practice of Zen meditation, but all are welcome, from all experience levels and all schools of meditation.
“The time has come to turn your heart
Into a temple of fire. Your essence is gold hidden in dust. To reveal its splendor You need to burn in the fire of Love. – Rumi
