The callers who have been active for ten or more years and are still in demand are the ones who program each of their dances so that they give something for the "hot shot" dancer; something for the "newcomer" to square dancing; and a heck of lot for the people in between who outnumber the others maybe ten to one. The dances for the in-betweens will "be a good mixture of old and traditional dances and enough of the neweir ones to keep the floor on its toes.

  • Easter Eggs: a Narrative Chronology

    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 will help you strengthen your muscles, and can also build endurance -- all you have to do is have fun just a little bit longer each day! Dancing is about moving your body. Some kinds of dancing you make up as you go along. Some kinds of dance are done in a specific way, with special steps and a certain type of music. Once you learn the steps, it can be a lot of fun to do these dances alone or with a group of people. Folk Dance: Folk dances are group dances that have developed over many many years in a certain country or area. They are usually danced to special music, and everyone does the same steps at the same time. Folk dances can be done as a performance for people to watch, but they really started as a way for everyone to celebrate together at parties and events. Some examples of folk dances are: clogging, Irish dance, square dance, sword dance, and folklorico. Line Dance: Line dances are dances where everyone stands in one or more lines, and does the same steps at the same time. Sometimes all the dancers face the same direction.

    The Strengthening Aspects of Zen and Contemporary Meditation Practices

    The Strengthening Aspects of Zen and Contemporary Meditation Practices By Kathleen O’Shaughnessy Excerpts from Chapter 19 of: Spiritual Growth with Entheogens – Psychoactive Sacramentals and Human Transformation Edited by Thomas B. Roberts ©2001, 2012 by the Council on Spiritual Practices Kathleen O’Shaughnessy has a thirty-year background in Soto Zen practice, psychosynthesis and gestalt therapy, movement as a means of expanding the capabilities of the human nervous system, the fragilities of nutritional healing, primary shamanic states (including plant-induced frames of mind), multiple and multilevel bodywork approaches to balance, and the practicalities of transpersonal crisis. Meditation: Reflecting on Your Attitude toward Altered States What is your relationship to unusual and altered states in meditation? As you read about these experiences, notice which ones touch you, notice where you are attracted or what reminds you of past experiences. How do you meet such experiences when they arise? Are you attached and proud of them? Do you keep trying to repeat them as a mark of your progress or success? Have you gotten stuck trying to make them return over and over again? How much wisdom have you brought to them? Are they a source of entanglement or a source of freedom for you? Do you sense them as beneficial and healing, or are they frightening? Just as you can misuse these states through attachment, you can also misuse them by avoiding them and trying to stop them. If this is the case, how could your meditation deepen if you opened to them? Let yourself sense the gifts they can bring, gifts of inspiration, new perspectives, insight, healing, or extraordinary faith.

  • Psychedelic Research Revisited

    Psychedelic Research Revisited

    PSYCHEDELIC RESEARCH REVISITED James Fadiman Ph.D. Menlo Park, CA Charles Grob MD Torrance, CA Gary Bravo MD Santa Rosa, CA Alise Agar (deceased) Roger Walsh MD, Ph.D. Irvine, CA ABSTRACT: In the two decades before the government banned human subjects studies in the mid 1960s, an enormous amount of research was done on psychedelics. These studies hold far reaching implications for our understanding of diverse psychological, social, and religious phenomena. With further research all but legally impossible, this makes the original researchers a unique and invaluable resource, and so they were interviewed to obtain their insights and reflections. One of these researchers was James Fadiman, who subsequently became a cofounder of the Association for Transpersonal Psychology and the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology. Discussion topics include his research studies and personal experiences, the founding, nature and purpose of transpersonal psychology, social effects of, and responses to, psychedelics, and religious freedom. INTRODUCTION For half a century psychedelics have rumbled through the Western world, seeding a subculture, titillating the media, fascinating youth, terrifying parents, enraging politicians, and intriguing researchers. Tens of millions of people have used them; millions still do—sometimes carefully and religiously, often casually and danger- ously. They have been a part—often a central and sacred part—of many societies throughout history. In fact, until recently the West was a curious anomaly in not recognizing psychedelics as spiritual and medical resources (Grob, 1998, 2002; Harner, 1973). The discovery of LSD in 1943 (Hoffman, 1983), and later its chemical cousins—such as mescaline, psilocybin and MDMA—unleashed experiences of such intensity and This paper is excerpted from a more extensive interview which will be published in a book tentatively entitled Higher Wisdom.
