tip toeing over bones and placing secrets from ancient places into seed spaces

Timofey - Stage Zone

The workshop will be of interest for a wide audience: for everyone who likes music and wants to explore the connection between music and movements of lesbian and gay liberation in the West.

When people sing, they are creating the bound among them at the very moment. Songs signify mutual experiences, mutual values, and mutual aspirations of those who sing them. Therefore, almost every social movement starts to sing at some point in time. That is how songs of resistance, collective identities, solidarity, and political arts were born.

A song is always a text, i.e. a certain narrative. If this is a song, which was born inside some community, this would be a narrative about injustice, which the representatives of the oppressed group face; a narrative about experiences, which are shared by the representatives of the one community; this is a critique of dominant ideology and a narrative of dreams about the world where there is no injustice.

At this workshop, we turn to the traditions of singing songs having been present at the Movement for lesbian and gay liberation in the West from 1920 till 1994.

Doncha Lovit - Backstage Workshop

Voice Dialogue is a personal growth work which brings us into awareness of the separate parts, or selves, that make up our personalities and direct our lives, often unconsciously. Based in Jungian psychology, these selves often lead us in opposing directions. The workshop will focus on experiencing our selves elated to creativity. They include, for example, our desire to create in any medium, and on the opposite side, the parts that criticize us for being "not good enough", or which believe that being an artist is a waste of time which cannot support us financially. We will do a group facilitation and also provide some opportunities for individual exploration.

Zahir Peaches - Salon Zone

The Dances are simple, meditative, joyous, multi-cultural circle dancaes that use sacred phrases, chants, music and movements from the many spiritual traditions of the erch to touch the spiritual essence within ourselves and recognize it in others. Building on work begun by Samuel L. Lewis in the 1960's, they promote peace and integration within individuals and understanding and connection within groups worldwide. There are no performers nor audience: new arrivals and old hands form the circle as everyone sings and dances together.
