    Are we performing CandleOpera at Burning Man? Some folks are talking about another show being put up (the show that Kalla's doing). We should figure out now when CandleOpera would be, so we can have both shows.

        This year, I would the Candle Opera at Burning Man to be a parade. The performance would occur like a traveling circus, all across the playa. We would come up to people and perform for them and attract others with this. I would like us to be more out there with less production value and more interaction and acoustic experiences. Any ideas on how we could create this?

        We could still have performers from the Candle Opera perform on the stage of our camp with music, or fire, or whatever. I just find that with playa time and all, it would serve us better to create something more fluid and flexible this year.

        What do you think?

          That's a cool idea, and think it could work nicely. You'd still need a commitment (with no playa time) from a certain # of performers, but it would be much more flexible for the BM community at large.

          I'll think more on this idea and see what comes to me. I like it!

          I think it would still be a great idea to figure out what night and time(ish) we want to do this, so every night at Woo doesn't get planned up with other stuff (saki sundown, the other show, etc. etc. etc.)

          And hey - when's it looking like there will be a CandleOpera in Austin? I might be coming in late April or sometime in May. If it falls anywhere around that time, I'll try to make it work!

          Briidge, how much of the spring are you working in Sac?

            I am working more in Sacramento than I am in Texas in the Spring. Call me and I'll give you a full schedule.

            I was thinking about us doing a Candle Opera here at the end of June. I have a lot to plan that month though. Or July ...

                  I am lit up and inspired by all of you...Creating the BurningMan 05 version of THE CANDLEOPERA and looking for you to bring it and be your greatness. Creating a chakra-opening rebirthing and retelling of herstory through YOU and your magical dancing, singing and musical gifts....also looking for contributions in the realm of costuming, props, technical assistance and anything you want to gift to the people of the playa.....It is a long haul from Austin and I am asking for your help to bring this truly healing and evolutionary event to life at burningman!

                  It is nice to be back in the tribe loop and back online and in-line!
                  Drop me a line with your ideas, questions, wants, needs and desires.
                  loviing you baddass lovers

                    Catherine and all:

                    The next Austin Candleopera will be at New Year's...We are submitting a proposal to have it be a part of FIRST NIGHT Austin which is a huge community celebration. The deadline for the proposal is July 11th and we will know if we are going to be a part of 1st night by September.

                    When selected the project will be funded by corporate sponsors....wanna get paid for some candleopera??
                    peace and love

                          hi oNe..

                          iiii am very excited to be co-creating The CandleOpera...

                          It is based on the re-telling of her/history through the use of humans representing gods and more specifically, gods representing humans...it will tell the story which is held in the charkras...which carry the roadmap of the development and evolution of humanity...

                          we will utilize the colors and sacred geometry related to each chakra and create sonic, visual and spiritual energy fields in which to play, laugh, cry, transform and HEAL the planet for about an hour....the last section will actually be an intentional and fun healing session for all in attendance.....and beyond!!:)

                          The running title now is: ouRevolution...an hOUR of Evolution...

                          The concept is being presented before July 11th and the arts community in austin will fund the performance...if there is a cost to be included in the proposal, i need to know about it very soon...so, please call or write asap and let your ideas, wants, needs and especially, your dreams flow and then we'll know!

                          love
