Craft Lot Preliminary report on programming: The Crafts Lot is giving us a chance to stretch out and move! Literally and figuratively. We are aiming to fill the space with motion, music and art. Here’s of preview of some of the things we are working on: Art installations! Sallie is reaching out to artists from within and beyond the fair to create a collection of large scale art installations. Some will be interactive. We may be able to blur the line between art as a stand-alone object, and art as how the space is presented. Piano Lounge! Listening to the Path Planning committee’s idea to keep the understory of the trees open to the public, we have visioned a piano lounge under the eastern cluster of oaks. Imagine our baby grand piano, with an inviting open air lounge…for sitting, reclining, listening, watching…..Jay Hogan is pitching in on this project. Flow Arts! Finally a place big enough for big swinging toys! We are inviting hula hoopers, poi spinners and other movement artists to inhabit an area for the experienced, and not so experienced, flow artists. We’ll have the occasional workshop, lots of toys available, and plenty of space to play. Dancing! The Dance pavilion will be the centerpiece venue of the Crafts Lot. Each session will have a live band, and dancers. We will showcase international dance, social dance, performances and participation. We’ve started conversations with African dancers, blues fusion dancers, tango dancers, ecstatic dance conveners, swing dancers, contra dancers, Cuban social dancers….We will continue to solicit participation to represent the range and high quality of dance offerings in the northwest. There are some cutting edge dancers in our community—we are so excited to dance with them. We are aiming to have top notch live music with dance that is fun to watch, and inviting to join. Work it! As an adjunct to the Dance Pavilion we have a workshop space that can be used by the dancers to teach, warm up, or explore further. For example, Wren LaFoot of Nomad dance has workshops for dancers to experience examples of using dance to explore power and gender dynamics. If we have times not claimed by the dancers from the dance pavilion, we’ll book other movement workshops—perhaps tai chi in the morning, some kids’ tumbling, some acro yoga, some physical theater…. We’ll be using an application process to reach out and invite participation. Our plan is to use the same schedule as the other entertainment areas (applications available mid Nov, due mid Feb). Word is getting out….and we will continue to make connections and shape the vision. Come move with us! .

Easter Eggs: a Narrative Chronology
EASTER EGGS: A NARRATIVE CHRONOLOGY Adrienne Edwards and Thomas J. Lax Collaboration is a touchstone for Ralph, who has turned family members into participants and made lifelong artistic affiliations with strangers. As a young girl, Chelsea Lemon Fetzer, the artist’s daughter and one of his first collaborators, remembers methodically taking a bite out of dozens of apples used as props in his Wanda in the Awkward Age, of 1982. Twenty years later, her video documents of his Living Room Dances—in which Lemon cold called the oldest living descendants of blues musicians, showing up to dance in their living rooms and record their reactions—are fruits of an exercise in supreme observation. Under the auspices of the Ralph Lemon Company, founded in 1985 and dissolved in 1995, and of Cross Performance, Inc., founded in 1995 with the support of Ann Rosenthal and MAPP International Productions, Ralph has worked with movement artists and storytellers across the places he has traveled and then stayed: Minneapolis; New York; Port-au-Prince, Haiti; Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire; Accra, Ghana; Nrityagram, India; Nagoya, Japan; Kunming, China; Little Yazoo, Mississippi; and many more. It seemed only fitting that the story of Ralph’s work be narrated by those whose words, gestures, and likenesses have helped to make it. What follows is a roughly chronological, wholly partial account of Ralph’s forty years of art making, compiled through in-person, telephone, and email conversations conducted on the occasion of this publication. It is an imitation of Ralph’s work, which, as Kathy Halbreich told us, always walks that very fine line between the carefully crafted and the amateur, engaging muscle knowledge so sedimented it looks untaught.

Dancing Into the Chthulucene: Sensuous Ecological Activism In
Dancing into the Chthulucene: Sensuous Ecological Activism in the 21st Century Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kelly Perl Klein Graduate Program in Dance Studies The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Dr. Harmony Bench, Advisor Dr. Ann Cooper Albright Dr. Hannah Kosstrin Dr. Mytheli Sreenivas Copyrighted by Kelly Perl Klein 2019 2 Abstract This dissertation centers sensuous movement-based performance and practice as particularly powerful modes of activism toward sustainability and multi-species justice in the early decades of the 21st century. Proposing a model of “sensuous ecological activism,” the author elucidates the sensual components of feminist philosopher and biologist Donna Haraway’s (2016) concept of the Chthulucene, articulating how sensuous movement performance and practice interpellate Chthonic subjectivities. The dissertation explores the possibilities and limits of performances of vulnerability, experiences of interconnection, practices of sensitization, and embodied practices of radical inclusion as forms of activism in the context of contemporary neoliberal capitalism and competitive individualism. Two theatrical dance works and two communities of practice from India and the US are considered in relationship to neoliberal shifts in global economic policy that began in the late 1970s. The author analyzes the dance work The Dammed (2013) by the Darpana Academy for Performing Arts in Ahmedabad,

Sacred Dance As a Spiritual Practice
SACRED DANCE AS A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE A Sacred Dance Guild “Dancing The Sacred, Moving The World” EDUCATIONAL HANDOUT 2013 www.sacreddanceguild.org by JoyBeth Lufty “drjoy” www.soulintegrators.com It turns out that dance is the oldest form of prayer, or direct connection to The Divine”, yet in modern times most people think about sacred dance as being either the dancer or the viewer of the dancer in a performance piece. However, dancing the sacred as a form of individual regular spiritual practice is very powerful and naturally incorporates the “usual” daily spiritual tools of working with breath and our energy systems, focused awareness and meditation, physical movement, and vocalizations such as chanting and singing. Sacred Dance as a daily or regular practice provides a holistic workout of body, mind and spirit. It can be designed uniquely for your own religious or spiritual orientations, your physical and mental capabilities, and the space or environment you have available for the practice of SACRED DANCE. It can take as long or as short a time that fits your needs as a whole, merely requiring clothes and space you can move in and music you can dance to which connects you rhythmically and emotionally to the Divine Source. At its simplest, there are three movement periods necessary: the warm up, the dance itself, and the cool down. The choices within those movement periods can vary as much as we all do physically and take us down just one path or all the way through the variety of paths that lead to direct connection and oneness of spirit.

The Castrated Gods and Their Castration Cults: Revenge, Punishment, and Spiritual Supremacy
Digital Commons @ CIIS International Journal of Transpersonal Studies Advance Publication Archive 2019 The aC strated Gods and their Castration Cults: Revenge, Punishment, and Spiritual Supremacy Jenny Wade Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.ciis.edu/advance-archive Part of the Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Commons, Philosophy Commons, Religion Commons, and the Transpersonal Psychology Commons The Castrated Gods and their Castration Cults: Revenge, Punishment, and Spiritual Supremacy Jenny Wade California Institute of Integral Studies San Francisco, CA Voluntary castration has existed as a religious practice up to the present day, openly in India and secretively in other parts of the world. Gods in a number of different cultures were castrated, a mutilation that paradoxically tended to increase rather than diminish their powers. This cross-cultural examination of the eunuch gods examines the meaning associated with divine emasculation in Egypt, Asia Minor, Greece, the Roman Empire, India, and northern Europe to the degree that these meanings can be read from the wording of myths, early accounts, and the castration cults for some of these gods. Three distinct patterns of godly castration emerge: divine dynastic conflicts involving castration; a powerful goddess paired with a weaker male devotee castrated because of his relationship with her; and magus gods whose castration demonstrates their superiority. Castration cults associated with some of these gods—and other gods whose sexuality was ambiguous, such as Jesus—some of them existing up to the present day, illuminate the spiritual powers associated with castration for gods and mortals. Keywords: castration, eunuch, Osiris, Kumarbi, Ouranos, Cybele, Attis, Adonis, Combabus, Indra, Shiva, Odin, Hijra, Skoptsky astration traditionally refers to the removal Mack, 1964; Wilson & Roehrborn, 1999).
