AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Wow it has been a busy busy schedule for me as of late.
So here is a little post to update you on my Belly Dance happs...just check the flyers for details.
Happy shimmies, Shahravar

Hi All,

I am in the process of creating a support network for highly creative creatures who often endure the ups & downs of having such high levels of creative juice. The basic idea is that those riding the highs can support those wallowing in the lows. I am also setting up a physical presence in Amsterdam Holland, interested? check out the web site or drop me an email!

this is a none biz venture.

MAHISHASURAMARDINI – nritya natika

Inaugral day of the 31st Natya Mahotsav of Natya Shastra Vibhaag, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathawada University, Aurangabad on 2nd June 2008 at Tapadiya Natya Mandir, Aurangabad
The story and idea depicted is as follows in the poem given below.

“Mahishasuramardini is an age old drama depicting the victory of the good over the evil.
The evil is no less powerful, in fact it is powerful than the Mightier, the gods.
He is intelligent, brave and strong.
All the gods come together and create a power “Shakti” which has the combination of all powers from all the gods together. This is manifested in the form Durga.

In the myth, with her charm and valour, she lures Mahisha and finally overpowers him.

Emerging Visions visionary art ezine #12, theme title: Jung @ Heart
expected to emerge in deepest July

I find it easier to work the collage with a running theme, usually associated with the astrological influence at the time of "emergence" of the issue. #12 is due out during the astrological month of Leo, around Jung's birthday. Leo rules youth and heart.

For Submission Guidelines and Issue #11 Imagine Nation:

I am hoping you will submit artistic visions relating to fairytales, youth archetypes, playfulness, creativity, childlike wonder, and such.
If you have something for the issue, please do send it.

Dance

The brilliant choreographer William Forsythe is an American choreographer who settled in Germany long ago and started his own company in Frankfurt. His brilliant work Decreation was exactly that - a melting piece of choreography as dancers distorted their bodies and voices and used an incredible sound design to highlight their rapid dialogues and descent.

New project from David Byrne in New York City's Battery Maritime Building.

I keep hearing the argument that we environmentalists are blocking the construction of oil refineries, which is a big reason why gas prices are so high. I found this hard to believe, so did some research. I found a lot of information, but this site puts the key facts nice and concisely. Please at least read the excerpt so we can all gage more realistically where we stand.

Thanx,
