mirth: n. great fun; merriment; noisy gaiety, jocularity; that which causes fun
n.; a group of people intentionally and collectively experiencing merriment
A mirth of local players and performers is forming. The word forming is being used loosely; we’re not going on the road or anything(at least not yet). I want to help gather some people with the intent of exploring the boundaries of what we can do together-performance and creativity wise. You do not (repeat DO NOT) need to have an existing skill which falls into any of the following categories. Personally I have next to no experience in any of this stuff. A desire and willingness to learn, play, and strive is much more important than expertise.
Seeking people(or others) who want to explore dance(all kinds), martial arts, street theatre, butoh, gymnastics, contortion, drumming, yoga, kubuki, busking, stilt walking, sphere play, sound creation, break dancing, cabaret, acrobatics, and making costumes and all sorts of other stuff.
I don’t have a rigid idea or vision of what this will be. I am not the leader but I am the force acting as a catalyst to get this going. Maybe we can get together when we can, teach each other different forms, and see what happens.
I would like to incorporate capoeira, tai chi, fire staff, myth remembering, and swelling circus music into a 10 minute piece, call it an intro, and then set in on an Arabic flute based mesmerizing dance improve, berimbau beat backed, cartwheel freakout, followed by macabre mask adorned, kali striking, throat singing and chanting monkey circle parade in the dust finale. If this sort of thing sounds appealing please get in touch.
I am in Carrboro so it would be great to collaborate with people in the nearby vicinity but anyone who is interested is welcome to get in touch.
