Do you base our choices on what you want, or what you think you're supposed to want? Let yourself feel what you feel and want what you want, THEN engage your mind in the process. The best wishes are born from your heart.

Best known to millions as the inspiration for a Ben and Jerry's ice cream flavor ‘I am an activist clown and former frozen dessert,’ says Wavy - it is through his good work on behalf of the planet and its least fortunate residents that Wavy Gravy has achieved his own brand of sainthood.

His friend and satirist Paul Krassner has called him ‘the illegitimate son of Harpo Marx and Mother Teresa.’ Wavy says, ‘Some people tell me I'm a saint, I tell them I'm Saint Misbehavin'.’ (which is also the name of Michelle Estrick’s critically-acclaimed documentary on Wavy). All performances will benefit Seva Foundation and Camp Winnarainbow.”

“The California State Parks Foundation is seeking volunteers at China Camp State Park. This workday will focus on trail clearance and erosion control on the Shoreline Trail. This work is appropriate for ages 14 and up. Minors must be accompanied by a legal guardian. The day is planned

Through our Park Champions program, we hold multiple volunteer workdays at underfunded parks across the state. Our volunteer projects are selected to help with parks’ unmet needs. Volunteering at a Park Champions workday is a fun way to meet other like-minded park supporters and to make tangible improvements to your favorite parks.

The need has never been more urgent for our precious California state park system. Budget cuts over the years have reduced staff and financial resources to the breaking point, and volunteerism has become increasingly vital to parks’ survival. Even though many parks have received a temporary reprieve from closure and will stay open for the next year, resources still remain at an all-time low. Your help has never been more meaningful.

Hope to see you there!”

Thanks to Ivy for letting me know about this event!

The plot is based on the love triangle. It's about the hardships and challenges of Aisha Abroyeva, a young, beautiful and talented Kazakh singer whose dream is to perform in Paris. Her sponsor is rather well-founded banker, Ashat Babaevich, a married man. The unexpected meeting with young, poor and soulful veterinarian Azamat, who is going through his own problems, changes everything.

Film depicts Almaty with its extraordinary suburbs, and Paris. Gerard Depardieu (as a French producer of Aisha) is performing in this romance, now a drama, now a fairly tale. For shooting in Paris, Gerard Depardieu gave to Temenov his elite restaurant free of charge.

Running time: 88 min.  In Kazakh with English subtitles.

The screening will be introduced and commented on by Alma Kunanbaeva.

Silk Road House events are sponsored by the Silkroad Foundation.”

This work raises the energy and creates crackling, electric performances. Members of Ragged Wing’s Core Company will lead the creation of FIERCE PLAYS in a condensed time-frame of fourteen days.

The FIERCE PLAY Performance Series is a giant LEAP into the creative YES. We’re taking it. Come with us.

Program 2:

Now! Now? Now.  
by Cecilia Palmtag
In an endless stream of Past and Future what is the window into experience? Now! Do your expectations meet up with Now? Structured episodically, this piece will examine the unique filter we each have that colors our world, and consider what experience would be like if we could step into Now.

In the Blink
by David Stein
When a young narcoleptic on her graduation day steps into a wrinkle in the fabric of space and time called the Blink, a stop gap world where time stands still, a father-daughter bond is put to the test, and very nature of reality is questioned.

Moment to Moment
by Adam Sussman
A playwright, condemned to death by an authoritarian regime, tries to finish his play about a prose writer who is visited by murderous conspirators. A prose writer tries to finish a short story about a playwright condemned to death by an authoritarian regime, but is interrupted by visitors whom he fears want to kill him. A heady Moebius strip of a play inspired by a Borges story that tackles dreams, fate, time, and the limits of knowledge.”
