Check out this highly groovy event happening this Saturday:

Water in the Desert
A Festival of Art, Ritual, Performance, & Ecology
Saturday, 07/26 1-9 PM
Peninsula Park (NE Albina and Rosa Parks)

I'm especially psyched about the Butoh version of Midsummer Night's Dream,
performed amidst the roses in Peninsula Park, and featuring Faeries and
friends of Faeries in the cast.


This year features a Butoh adaptation of "a Midsummer Night's Dream"
that consists of the most eclectic, stellar all-star cast! The
performance will be performed in the mazes of Roses, with an equally
Worthy DayStage full of wondrous and diverse treats. World renowned
Butoh Dance Company, Harupin-Ha (japan/san francisco) will be
returning again this year.

AND IT IS ALL FREE!!!

The Mission of Water in the Desert is to create an annual, multi-
media, participatory event that is site-specific, free to the public,
and that both integrates & celebrates the power of Art, Ritual,
Performance, & Ecology. We are inspired by the spectrum of expression
from across the globe and the multiple ways that communities come
together to share in the human experience. Our intention is to produce
a festival of creations that are in dialogue with our natural
resources & rhythms, highlighting revolving contemporary social and
ecological topics, with a consistent emphasis on the essential element
of water.
