The energy and excitement of New York inspires Day Helesic’s Around the Block, a full-length dance work reflecting the spirit of the city and the people who live there. Four dancers travel the streets of Manhattan in a desire to find connection within the chaos, in a physical essay of boldness and intensity. With a driving original score by Marc Stewart, lighting by Rob Sondergaard and striking film by Aren Hansen and Reva Quam, Around the Block is a work of physical devotion and harnessed energy. The dancers are original cast members Day Helesic, Amber Funk Barton and Shay Kuebler, here joined by James Gnam.

1st World Poetry Call for Poems for the ancient Chinese Poet Li Bai!

worldpoetry — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 12:51:27 -0500

World Poetry Call for Poems for the Poet Li Bai!

World Poetry hosts, Ariadne Sawyer and Alejandro Mujica-Olea with our esteemed partners The City of Richmond, explorASIAN and the Zhongkun Poetry Development Foundation, China are celebrating the famous ancient Chinese Poet Li Bai in Richmond, BC, Canada on May 17th at 6:30 PM.
Featuring: Dr. Jan Wall, Dr. Hadaa Sendoo, (World Poetry Ambassador to China and Mongolia) Multilingual Poetry of Li Bai and Traditional Chinese musicians Mr. Chen Ying Liang and Mrs. Chen. The event is free. Information: ariadnes@uniserve.com
Here is a brief bio by Dr. Hadaa Sendoo from Mongolia, who will be featured at the event.
Li Bai (701-762) is regarded as the greatest romantic poet of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and a representative of the high Tang culture, combination of realistic Northern culture represented by Confucian philosophy and the Book of Poetry, and romantic Southern culture represented by Taoist philosophy and the Elegies of the South. But he could neither fulfill his Confucian ideal to serve the country nor find spiritual freedom in Taoism, so he could only chant poetry and drink wine to drown his sorrow as describe by Du Fu in Eight Immortal Drinkers (Li Bai could turn sweet nectar into verses; Drunk in the capital, he'd lie in shops of wine). Here we see the tragedy of a genuine staying lonely on earth like an angel fallen from Heave. His poetry is marked by masculine grandeur in the Waterfall in Mount Lu Viewed from Afar (The sunlit Censer Peak exhales incense-like cloud; The cataract hangs like upended stream, sounding lout. Its torrent dashes down three thousand feet from high / As if the Silver River fell from azure sky), in which we see the mountain exhale cloud from down below and the Silver River, Chinese name for the Milky Way, fall from on high, and heaven and earth seem to merge into one, that is the Chinese way of communion with nature. In his poetry we can find his love of nature, of freedom, of the people, of his friends, in short, of truth, good and beauty.
Poem guidelines:
• Poems need to be to Li Bai or for Li Bai.
• One page only, two pages in another language.
• Deadline: May 5th.
• Poems need to have copyright © and include the name of poet and country.
• Selected poems will be put on display at the Richmond Cultural Centre during the Life Celebration of Li Bai. See additional information below.
• Classes and schools are welcome to participate.
• Selected poems will be read on the World Poetry Café Radio Show, CFRO, and 102.7 FM in Vancouver British Columbia.
• Send poems to ariadnes@uniserve.com

• It is a great opportunity to learn and participate in the life of this greatly honoured poet.

World Poetry Café Radio Show Proudly Presents: author Simone Brenneman on March 2nd !

worldpoetry — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 02:58:01 -0500

World Poetry Café Radio Show Proudly Presents: author Simone Brenneman on March 2nd , Tuesday night at 9 –m PST, CFRO 102.7 FM, satellite: Star Choice 845 or on the internet: www.coopradio.org
Hosts Ariadne Sawyer and Alejandro Mujica-Olea.
A TRUE LIFE TALE OF AUSTISM AND COURAGE
--How One Advocate Is Peeling Away the Layers and Unraveling the Complexities and the Intricacies of this Fascinating and Intriguing ‘Disorder’
The music group, Moody Blues best puts Simone Brenneman’s feelings to words regarding her years of study, love and understanding of the illness labeled ‘autism’ in one of their songs “Won’t You Meet Me Halfway?” This has become Brenneman’s “autism anthem,” as it articulates the foundation of her belief in how she approaches anyone with autism.
The mother of two children with autism and author of the new book Effervescence: A True-Life Tale of Autism and of Courage, Brenneman become deeply disturbed over the past couple of years, where the focus seemed to be that of “curing” individuals with autism, as she believes that should not necessarily be the goal. Through her extensive work with autistic children, she is revealing that greater acceptance of individuals with autism will enhance their lives; lessen many of the symptoms because they will feel more at peace with themselves and the world around them. People with autism experience life differently than those of us without autism and there is much to be learned from them. They have a place in this world. It is an extremely challenging disorder, but also an extraordinarily fascinating one.
In an inspirational, educational and motivational interview, Brenneman will discuss:
• Why she thinks that using the term ‘autism’ as a label can be toxic
• Some of the utterly fascinating ways that an autistic mind and body can work
• Tips for establishing a positive home environment for a family with autistic children
• How to appreciate this illness and learn how to live with it not simply try to ‘cure it’

Psychologist, Director of ABLE a Developmental Clinic in British Columbia, Canada and close working associate, Dr. Glen Davies states, “Brenneman uses her gifts of sensitivity and creativity to enter deeply into the unique worlds of her autistic children and others, to truly understand them and to see the world through their lives.”
Simone Brenneman is a mother of two daughters and two sons. As described in Effervescence, one daughter is challenged and deeply gifted, in part, by autism.
One son is challenged by autism, ADHD, Cri du Chat Syndrome, a mental disability and a number of other developmental issues, and is in his own way, gifted. In the past, Ms. Brenneman has worked as a special education assistant and currently works as a behavioral interventionist for several beautiful children challenged by autism. She also has a long history of designing unique and child-specific strategies and programs for her own children.
Effervescence…A True-Life Tale of Autism and of Courage can be purchased from www.amazon.com, www.barnesandnoble.com and through all major bookstores.

Animal Mother Films is producing a series of short films about the social and cultural landscape of Vancouver in light of the 2010 Winter Olympics called "With Glowing Hearts."

In a new segment released on Jan 30th, With Glowing Hearts documents the True North Media House campaign to encourage social reporting of the arts and cultural events and educate about best practices for creating and publishing content.

Director Andrew Lavinge sets up the WGHthemovie.ca- Webisode #2 'True North Media House' webisode in the announcement:

"In this video you will meet ‘Techartist’ Kris Krug and ‘Social Media Guru’ Dave Olson. I first met Kris and Dave on Feb. 3rd 2009. There was a shout out on Twitter about a meetup at a Gastown tech company for those who were interested in exploring social media’s inclusion in the 2010 Winter Olympics. There was quite a buzz in the air that night as folks were excited about the idea of creating a non accredited media center. That buzz has continued through the year and is reaching its peak as Citizen Journalist from around the world gather in Vancouver."

Along with True North Media House campaign, With Glowing Hearts crew followed W2 Woodwards arts project and April Smith and AHA Media.
