Costume ideas

jinjami — Sat, 21 Jan 2006 08:38:37 GMT

Well hello boys and girls!
I am new to your show.
Living in Seattle,
partaining to the circus.
well Cirkus more aptly.
Pure Cirkus to be exact.
and I am a Contact Juggling clown.
best part is (or worst part if your of a mind)
I need a costume!
and thats where the trouble lies.
I know I want to be a jester.
on account of my rennisance background
(born and raised in the S.C.A. )
and Harlequins ' have always held a peculiar spot (or splotch) in my heart.
do y'all have any good visual links to guide me on my way?
as it is my costume is relatively non-existant so really any input is welcome!

Cirk-O-Six New Years in LA

samo — Wed, 07 Dec 2005 05:55:17 GMT

ANON SALON’s SEA OF DREAMS “CIRK-O-SIX”

New Years Eve, Downtown LA
This New Year's Eve, San Francisco and LA based event promoters, ANON SALON are expanding on the long running success of their legendary SEA OF DREAMS New Year's Eve spectacle by raising the bar with this year’s CIRK-O-SIX, to be held at the historic Los Angeles Theater. This year’s burlesque theme combines the party with ongoing theater performances in the famed downtown theatre.

The Los Angeles Theatre was once considered one of the four or five finest theatres in the world and the event will raise the flag of the new Renaissance of downtown Los Angeles and call upon the Golden Era of LA’s Downtown Theatre District where vaudeville and burlesque used to fill its resplendent theatre houses. Anon Salon will bring the history alive with today’s most cutting edge, avant garde performance and burlesque troupes performing in this breathtaking theater with a surrounding labyrinth of party rooms containing Anon’s live and DJ musical favorites.

The theatre built in 1931 in the French baroque style of Louis XIV, was a virtual Hollywood cathedral. Famous for its huge crystal fountain in the lobby, not an inch of the interior was left undecorated from the elegant stage curtains and ornate balcony to the intricately-carved ceiling of its lobby. When the Los Angeles Theatre was about to go under during the Depression, Charlie Chaplin paid an exorbitant amount of money to keep the posh 1,967-seat theater afloat, so that he could have the grand premiere of his masterpiece "City Lights" there. When downtown LA was abandoned for other new neighborhoods and nightlife, the Los Angeles Theatre closed and had been sitting idle, except for occasional film shoots.

Cirk-O-Six will then merge this experience with its audience base of costumed revelers to create a unique and participatory evening of entertainment.

Additionally, there is a full art gallery space attached to one of the downstairs ballrooms that will house a large art exhibit of cirque and burlesque themed works curated by Mike Russek, co-founder of Transport Art Gallery and founder of the Six Degrees Art Festival.

Lighting and an interactive environment will also be created by Los Angeles event and décor wizards, The Do Labs.

HISTORY OF ANON SALON

ANON SALON, over the course of its 15-year existence, has helped redefine West Coast event production by producing hundreds of unique theme parties, theater festivals, art shows and even street fairs for Burning Man fans in both San Francisco and Los Angeles. The company was born out of San Francisco’s alternative art and performance scene of the 1980’s. From the beginning, they helped shape an ever-growing community of multi-media artists and event producers into a network of non-commercial, unadvertised one-off events and large public gatherings. Unlike conventional concert, club or theatrical events, these one-off gatherings were specialized one-of-a-kind theme party/events. Production laden and technologically cutting edge, they included not only music, but also performance artists, installation, lighting and video artists, theatrics and unique décor, that quickly began to attract an audience that brought their own ideas to the mix. The evolution of their party spectacles has always reflected the changing face of the creative community. As their website asserts, "ANON SALON teases technology, embraces the arts, and flirts with the unknown. … It celebrates all that's eclectic and electric in art, design, and media providing a place to grab new ideas before business as usual turns them into formulas.
Anon founders, JOEGH BULLOCK and MARCIA CROSBY have been central to San Francisco's alternative and underground art scene since the late 1970's. Besides ANON SALON, their endeavors include the GlasHaus parties of the mid-1980's, Icon Byte Bar and Grill (the first Internet bar and cafe in SF), the award-winning Climate Theater, the world famous Solo Mio performance festival. More recently, Joegh has co-created and co-produced San Francisco-based Burning Man Festival parties such as Flambé Lounge and the Decompression Heat the Street Faire.

In the early 1990's, they joined forces with then actor/director MARK PETRAKIS, known as “Spoonman” (from his popular alternative vaudeville revues called “COBRA LOUNGE”). An early web developer, already a part of the burgeoning technology scene, Petrakis was also responsible for Telecircus.com, a 1994 San Francisco arts community website that provided the first web presence for Burning Man, the Residents, Clubfoot Orchestra and many others.

Artist, event producer and social provocateur, MARK BAVA from the Monterey and San Francisco Bay Area entered the mix further bringing together audiences from communities from Humboldt to San Diego. Bava is also one of the founders of the LA Burning Man LaDecom Street Fair, Oracle Milleneum and the Blue Bongo nightclub in the Artist District of Downtown Los Angeles.

LA partner and co-producer, Stephen Samojeden is an east coast transplant who got his start in event productions in Colorado in the early Nineties. Working with friends he helped create Sol Productions, which grew to be one of the largest event production companies in the state. More recently he has helped create dozens of alternative art events in the Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles areas, including the yearly Los Angeles Burning Man Decompression Street Fairs.

Since its debut on NYE 2000, their SEA OF DREAMS event has been known as the must-see sleeper event for the in-the-know “cultural creatives”, attracting over 3,000 attendees each year to the sold out San Francisco events and last year’s LA event.

This New Year’s Eve, the ANON team will once again combine their talents and experience in the raising of Cirk-O-Six.

Bits & Pieces

Gobbelin — Fri, 22 Apr 2005 23:49:59 GMT

odds & ends
needle binds
the thread that mends
satin diamonds
silken twine
masked in black
and drunk with wine
dragon dancers
in thee flame
naked
without face or name
devil rosin up his bow
and plays thee dirge all sweet & slow
for tho a cheshire grin appears
still drops thee diamond sparkle tears
who summons zanni into dance
beneath a guise of happenstance
is pitched beneath a circus tent
or circumstance to circumvent
thee 3 ring circles
built to bind
a moonlight shrine
I look to find
oh, gobbelin jesters
do appear and burgle gold ov diamond tear
for when your merry din is near
we all will raise a toast ov cheer!
I seek it, to see it,
and seal it,
so be it.

cut ups & exquisite corpses

banjolismo — Sat, 23 Jul 2005 20:02:20 GMT

are a most harlequinseque form of poetry & literature in general. for all who have harlequin sensabilities, I reccomend this form. and if you don't know, the literary exquisite corpse requires multiple writers who write a section of the page which is then folded over leaving only the last line visible for the next to continue.
the cut up method takes pre written work & cuts it into strips then mixes & recombines them into a hybrid end product. a preferred method of burrows, gyson, & ginsburg.

as well as goblins, gobbelins, hobos, jokers, jugglers, aliens, and monkeys. let's stitch together a patchwork quilt, and weave together something splended from the scraps of wasted decadence.

the show so far....

banjolismo — Thu, 06 Jan 2005 20:59:52 GMT

we have ascertained that the harlequin, though separate from mr. punch, pulcinella (the little chicken), is part of the same family, the zanni, from the commedia del arte, the skillfull comedy. this is our root, our ancestry. we are all drawn here to reconnect with this vital source as it interconnects withthe greater family tree of fools, jesters, stiltwalkers, fire breathers, acrobats, jugglers, and clowns. the nuclear circus. we all have a part in this play, and our chosen skills define this role for us. so let me hear your take, how do you fit in to this glorius patchwork?
though the root of the zanni lies in the commedia, it's flower becons from a nearing future, the grand fruit of our labor. in this vital phase, we need your words, a bit of velvet prose stitched together with satin lyrics. we all have a few scraps to put together and sew the signeture diamond pattern of the particolored harlequin cloak. what do you have to offer, so that the harlequin energy manifestation may take form and bloom into it's radiant destiny?
