<br />
We are looking for brass, woodwind and percussionists to take part in a series of workshops in Stoke on Trent leading up to the procession on 30th May.<br />
<br />
Musical Director, Dan Fox is writing new music for the procession. He has over twenty years experience working with street-bands. His playing has taken him all over the world, from playing a heated trombone at the Winter Olympics in Albertville to playing in a wetsuit whilst flippering across a lake outside the Dutch Parliament. He currently plays tuba with the Boom Bike Band and bass drum for Macnas theatre company (Galway).<br />
<br />
Dan co-founded and made the drums for Boom Dang, a new style of street drumming that combines Dhol/ Surdos and funky street rhythms.<br />
<br />
There will be four Sunday workshops leading up to the parade.<br />
<br />
No experience of parading is necessary but musicians must be willing to process with their instruments. Although the project can cater for a wide range of playing abilities, some playing experience is preferable.<br />
Please ask around if you think you may know somebody interested :)</span></span><br />

Barefoot Doctors Summer School 2011........was an absoulte joy to be
apart of , I'm very happy to have met lots of like-minded creative
indivduals. Through an exciting and creative three days this has
allowed me to renew my creative juices and allowing great ideas to grow.
It was another discovery gateway for me as an artist and has enabled me
to realise that I can take inspiration from absoultly anywhere :). <br />
<br />
<br />
The piece I helped create was inspired by the one of the verses
of the song '<b><i>Take this Waltz'</i></b> by <b><i>Leonard Cohen</i></b>,
intertestling enough the inspiration that Leonard Cohen took to write
the lyrics for the song, came from the poet <i><b>Federico Garcia Lorca</b></i><b>
</b>and the poem is known in English as<b> <i>'Little Viennese Waltz'</i></b><i><b>
. </b></i>I in turn found this exteremly inertesting and saw this as
almost like looking through a window, or a journey of sorts.<br />
<br />
<br />
And so in my groups mini film/performance of our
inspiration/journey that orginated from Federico Garcia Lorca poem,
which then became a beautiful music and lyrical piece to then again
change into a visual and at times aural stokie piece. I found great
enjoyment at mixing different art-forms that of old and new to
essentially create a piece of live art.

Day Three: Tying together of all our work from Wednesday and performing it live on t'internet... interesting visual effects due to live streaming, adding to the mystique of the performances :-) Each individual giving something different to each piece and each audience member taking something individual with them from it too. Just shows that when you throw a bunch of creative people together that they'll come up with 2+2 = infinity. Even the spaces between the pieces were filled with creativity of some sort.. the dance of moving tables and chairs, the dance of setting up equipment, each intermission choreographed with movement.. would be nice to see a time-lapse of the whole event to watch the rhythms of everyone. Each individual performance piece was outstanding considering the time contraints involved and proved that creative people don't just add creativity they multiply creativity by a million!
A lunch of soup, bread and salad, everyone open and chatting, several conversations about life, the universe and all inbetween. Discovering similarities and differences and finding that each person utterly supportive of each other.
Now to Flashmob hokey cokey!!! I had taken it upon myself to tag "Newcastle Town Centre" in my facebook status update that morning.. just to see if it would have an impact on what we were doing... the message went out: "Flashmob hokey cokey 4pm Newcastle Town Centre" The pixies of mischief were fully in control. The interesting part was trying to look inconspicuous and at the same time hang around ready for the "signal". The new sweet shop seeming to be a favourite haunt of potential hokey-cokey-ers. So carried away was I with the plethora of confectionary, I nearly missed it.. Luckily the Guildhall reminded me, with its chimes! On your marks.. get set... go!!!
It was over far too quickly... the little boy who brought his toys to it, the dog tied to the man's belt (the dog loved it!!!! It would seem that Dog's really "get" what B-Arts is about... such is their sense of humour). Phew!! Its over.. HURRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Time to melt into the background!
"What was that all about?" I was asked, "Is it going out on YouTube?" asked another.. such is the power of social media. It touches all our lives whether we realise it or not.. Social media, blogging, Online home made movies, and all the rest were once the domain of the "geek", the "nerd".. the socially isolated, who used it as a means to communicate with their friends.. Its now been adopted by the whole world... this world has now shrunk.. it is smaller... it is however, still full of possibilities, the infinity of conciousness that can come together for a few days and create together. A group of strangers who have become good friends. Individuals who through social media will continue to create, share projects and go out into the world!!! Thank you Barefoot Doctors Summer School, thank you B-Arts... for inspiring, giving space and time to allow for this to take place. ((((HUGS)))). rofl.

Having not done anything resembling "ballroom dancing" since 15 and my school leavers "do". It came as rather a shock to find we were off to The Rialto Dance Studio in Sunny Stoke to learn it from Helen, another Barefoot Doctor!!!
To say we giggled with embarrassment is perhaps an understatement... we (I'm using we, as "we" were a group and I don't think any of us escaped!) were taught how to move, how to stand, how to hold, and vaious other things that you get taught in dance class... It was like being back in school.
After dance class, back to Newcastle... to "find our space".... which we did, and sat like children on a school trip eating our specially packed lunches, surrounded by pigeons, shoppers and screaming children!
This whole day seemed rather like certain memories from my past... From dance classes attended in youth, through to polling people in town which I engaged in during my adolescence...
B-Arts Summer School is nothing less than surprising!! It takes you places you would never think possible...
:-)

This is a work in progress, but I have at least added my very first blog to my site! I couldn't have done this without all of the advise that I received on day 1 of B-arts summer school.

What have I learned today? Thanks to Carly, that 33% of people want to know why, and only 18% want to know what... so I'll post a sly why and see if I can grab your attention..
Why????
Well, because it is... totally insane day, as would be expected with B-Arts really... I came because I was "encouraged" to... Deb once said "You'll love it Sheena, come on down" So I signed up. I was told to bring my mobile phone to arrive for 10am and that was basically it....
Well, the days ticked by, babysitting was arranged, and I got up, had half a coffee and turned up.. slightly nervous.. to be greeted by smiley faces (I think Susan demanded that we wore a smile), maybe people were smiling because they had wind, either that or they were just nervous, in the pricise way that children are not nervous on their first day of school.
Ice breakers began... hmm... Not sure...
Sipping apple juice (Where's the coffee Deb???)
Ah-ha moment!!!!
Getting the idea now....
Not so silly these people.
Ooh, learning interesting things and sharing interesting experiences.
Nomnomnomnom.... COFFFFEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
You want us to do what???????!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh well, in for a penny.........
Which? what? endless void that is "t'internet"

We had to tell stories etc. with random objects, and then come together for a big performance later.
We decided to highlight the use of the internet and digital media through sharing information in the form of objects to represent various things people put online.

"this is what punishment for kids was.."
We have all spent the morning open space-ing our digital landscape,making connections and working out how to join up- so many things- reconciling the public and the private, how do we engage and make the world wide web and engaged and creative space- not just a platform for ranting, mind games and pretence of the least positive kind.
A definition of performance is about to be redefined.
Here we go

When I did a BD workshop a couple of years back, I made several really good friends, who in some cases I went on to collaborate with on artsy stuff. <div>So the nerves are the usual social anxiety - will I fit in, will I cope physically (particularly will I get too tired to cope?), have I got stuff to offer? Only one way to find out I suppose - finish breakfast, get my stuff together and get off down to the Barracks...</div>Tonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00884979994454445067noreply@blogger.com0
