★What IS THE INTERNATIONAL FIBER COLLABORATIVE?
As the leading voice for collaborative public art projects around the world, the International Fiber Collaborative is dedicated to promoting understanding and appreciation of contemporary art & craft through educational experiences. We are committed to developing vital education programs that elevate, expand, modernize and enhance the image of collaboration and education today.
★WHAT IS THE DREAM ROCKET PROJECT?
The Dream Rocket Team is collecting nearly 8,000 artworks from participants around the globe. The artwork will be assembled together to create a massive cover in which will wrap a 37 story Saturn V Moon Rocket at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. We will also be displaying submitted artwork in dozens of national venues prior to the wrapping of the Saturn V. Additionally, we are posting images of submitted artwork & their stories on our Website, Flickr, and Facebook.The Dream Rocket project uses the Saturn V Moon Rocket as a symbolism of universal values of the human spirit. Optimism, hope,
caring for our natural resources, scientific exploration, and harnessing technological advancements for a better quality of life while safeguarding our communities, are all common desires across national and international boundaries. Participants are able to express and learn about these values through this creative collaboration. With the completion of each artwork, participants are asked to write an essay explaining their artwork, and the dream theme in which they chose.
★How can I Participate & Have my Artwork Displayed?
The Dream Rocket project would like to challenge you to ‘Dare to Dream’. To dream about your future and the future of our world through dream themes such as health, community, conservation, science, technology, space, peace, and so on. We would like you to use your selected Dream Theme to express, explore, and create your vision on your section of the wrap. We hope that you are able to express and learn through this creative collaboration. With the completion of each artwork, you are asked to write a brief essay explaining your artwork, and the dream theme in which you chose.
“The Saturn V is the ideal icon to represent a big dream. This rocket was designed and built as a collaboration of nearly half-a-million people and allowed our human species to venture beyond our world and stand on ANOTHER - SURELY one of the biggest dreams of all time. ENABLING THE DREAMS of young people to touch this mighty rocket sends a powerful message in conjunction with creating an educational curriculum to engage students to embrace the power of learning through many important subjects”
-Neil deGrasse Tyson, Director of the Hayden Planetarium, New York

Listen up, Mom & Dad! Teenagers aren't weird beings from outer space! In fact, YOU were once a teenager!
Venardos Circus 20191012 Asheville NC Asheville Outlet Mall
My wife and I made plans for one year to make sure we could take a vacation planned around The Venardos Circus in Asheville, NC. We planned to stay for ten days! The first day of prep two days before take-off, our slide out on our RV broke. This was our third of three slide outs to break in some manor to hinder our plans. Fortunately, I found the Mobile RV Doctor Gary Castor. $611.00 later and an entire day of wrenching we were ready and determined to catch the sold-out show. We thought we might catch a hotel. But booking a Hotel in Asheville during leaf blowing season is a $300.00 per night adventure for a room. I was thinking the entire time having flashbacks of 30 years on the road as an entertainer, thinking, imagine my problem times 20 other entertainers! These entertainers had deadlines to meet and have to make the show come hell or broken slide outs! On our way, we blocked traffic for a while as Asheville makes these skinny turns to the interstate too small for trucks or large RV’s. I narrowly missed a median sign and but for the kindness of a stranger might still be there trying to avoid scratches on my fifth wheel.
In my thirty years on the road as a professional Frisbee Flying Disc player I ran into the best and worst acts on the road in many different venues. I learned first-hand how hard it is to market and sell an act. I had learned the hard way from town to town and had an understanding at the marvel I was about to witness.
I pulled into the Venardos Circus on the last leg of their US tour in the middle of their two-week showing in Asheville. I was awed by the neatness, cleanliness and visual appeal of the set up. They kept their lot squeaky clean. I was amazed by the signage, the generators, the vendor trucks and the way the entertainers all had many different hats to wear.
Every single entertainer was seasoned often many generations of life-long Circus and stage performers. This was a rare treat for any town. Every single entertainer came from larger shows that swap talent. They swab the decks and wash the floors. The owner of the Circus takes the garbage out at the end of each show. Behind the glitz and glamour of being famous in their own specialty arts, they each swabbed the stage, set up the tents, sold the concessions, worked the ticket booths and worked this show 24/7! You could tell it. Each act could carry an audience on their own for hours at a time. However, Venardos produced a show that was nothing short of a Broadway or Vegas show with incredible timing and professionalism! There is no wonder that he is booked for FORTY-FIVE MORE dates all over the United States for the 2020 season. They had to easily work 16 hour days full blast all day!
His hospitality was amazing. He extended an invitation for me to live with his team for the rest of his duration in Asheville. I had to think of the love I have for my wife and had to leave because of her schedule. I did not want to leave!
I understand Kevin is looking for a good sound and light person! His last stop is at my favorite town in St Augustine, Florida to kick off his 45 town 2020 season! He will be performing on the same stage as many of the most popular musicians of all times have performed at The St Augustine Amphitheatre! When I lived in St Augustine, I could barely feed myself and my favorite ex-girlfriend! Kevin has twenty teams to feed and their families!
Circus families are the greatest entertainers and athletes of our time. You have to see it to believe it!
Venardos’ fans, Facebook cuts a 30mb photo to 80kb or less. Please use the flickR photos for download for reproduction.
I will create a ten-minute video or two and include a download link for desktop or phone for as long as Vimeo doesn’t violate me for the music. It was an awesome show! Stay Circus Strong!

Geeta Chandran (Delhi) - Bharatnatyam - 20 October 2010 (Wednesday)
Geeta Chandran has been trained by eminent Bharatanatyam gurus, including Smt Swarna Saraswathy and Guru KN Dakshinamurthi Pillai. She has ably synthesized her eclectic training to present unique dance presentations in which she skilfully weaves abstract notions of joy, beauty, values, aspiration, myth and spirituality. Celebrated for her composite understanding of Bharatanatyam, Geeta is also an accomplished Carnatic vocalist. She is known for her work in television, film and theatre as also in dance education, activism and journalism. She is the founder-president of Natya Vriksha where she teaches and promotes Bharatanatyam. She is also the artistic director of the Natya Vriksha Dance Company, which has travelled all over the world with its superb dance presentations. Geeta has received many prestigious awards and fellowships, including the Padma Shri.
Presentation
In Revision, her presentation for the evening, Geeta Chandran and her Natya Vriksha Dance Company present a selection of classical numbers from the Bharatanatyam repertoire. It is suffused with the dancer’s focus on choreographic processes of intent, content and context. The intent is to celebrate the pristine classicism of Bharatanatyam. Through her Thanjavur bani, Geeta uses the adavu as the basis of her revision. This basic unit of Bharatanatyam is cast and recast in prismatic formations. The content remains the classical. The traditional Mallari, Alarippu, Padam and Tillana form the basis of Geeta’s revision. The context is what’s been altered. Since a solo dance is transformed into a group experience, the inter-body connections create new contexts for movement. There is also the context of the space in which the pieces are being performed. The grandeur of the dance has been re-contextualized for the Purana Qila monument.
The event at Raffles Hotel Le Royal in Phnom Penh also showcased five female, Cambodian businesswomen who recently attended the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Hyderabad, India, which was sponsored by the United States and India.

Poop talk is one of David's favorite themes. Understanding the subtleties of animal poop is a critical skill in the bush. It never occurred to me that a side benefit of this trip would be an education in poop. In just a few days, I gained a grudging respect and passing knowledge of the many varieties of animal dung. Giraffe pass little pellets; water buffaloes leave mushy patties and plops; elephants leave giant balls composed of grass and assorted botanical detritus.
The Singapore Airshow 2012 is the biggest, most advanced airshow in Asia at this date. One of the world's top 3 aviation summits, and serves as a global marketplace and networking powerhouse for the world’s aviation community and has always been greeted with tremendous support from industry players, solidly maintaining its position as Asia’s largest and top three aerospace and defence events in the world.
The Airshow was performed by the RSAF (Republic of Singapore Air Force), the RAAF Roulettes (Royal Australian Air Force), and Tony Blair (Australian Flight Instructor).
I visited the airshow exhibition with my military buddy, Shah, and his 2 friends. Shown in this set are photos of the F16 Fighting Falcon, the Apache helicopter, the F15, C-130 Aircraft, and the Rebel 300.

We celebrated youth in action at our second Democracy Cafe, where 50 activists and artists of all ages gathered for a fun afternoon of art, music and politics. This community gathering took place at the O’Hanlon Center for the Arts in Mill Valley, on February 18, 2018.
Participants created their own political signs, brainstormed ideas for a new art float, and sang-along a medley of songs for a better world with the Freedom Singers.
Young activists from Climate Our Generation and 360BayArea spoke about their environmental protection work, testifying about oil drilling with local and state governments, as well as protesting the new coal terminal in the Port of Oakland.
Featured performers included poet Klipschultz and musician Joel Hamilton, as well as singers/songwriters Matt Jaffe and Patrick Maley, who played a wonderful mix of personal and politically-minded songs. We are very grateful to them for inspiring us through their lovely music and poetry.
We love that so many young people participated in this event, and joined their voices, hearts and minds with our community. Their enthusiasm and creativity are our best hope for building a better world.
Many thanks to Dana Dworin, Suz Lipman, Craig Love and Gary Yost for recording this event with photos and videos. We are also very grateful to Carol Korenbrot, Bruce Mowery, Marilyn Price and Laurie Riley for organizing this event, to Jean Bolte, Natalie Frederick and Geo Monley for helping participants create political art, and to all the MVCAN members who supported this project.
Democracy Cafe is a series of free creative and civic events led by Fabrice Florin and a growing community of activists and artists in Marin. We think making art, playing music and talking with people of all ages and backgrounds can build mutual understanding and engage us to take meaningful political action together.
Join your neighbors to make political art and music -- and keep democracy alive!
