Winter Show Collaborative @ CAMP

Check out the full performance on 12/15 at the Comteporary .

Featuring: Gravity Plays Favorites, Acro-yoga Fireflies, FIRE DOG, Celia’s
Yuletide Express, Amazonia Belly Dancing Troupe, VJ Evil Che, Kill Fashion
and more …

A gigantic ARCH transmitter of a good thought broadcasts to the galaxy’s
edge, where six peaceful Yogis hear the Wizard’s plea.

The planet is trembling from the loss of The Great Storygatherer. The
people have forgotten how to lay their own stories to rest. And so the
discontent builds, blocking people’s hearts. St. Louis artists expose
their alter-egos and super POWERS so that these changes make us LIGHT.

“May These Changes Make Us Light – Winter Show Collaborative” is a
multimedia performance that uses dance, music and sculpture to amuse the
adventure within us. As the backdrop, VJ Evil Che, Mike Pagano, will
project live-video narrations on a 10-foot-tall, inflatable plastic dome —
and lead the audience through a tale that blends the real and fantastical.
MYTHICAL CHARACTERS PLAYED BY:

The Fireflies — St. Louis’ only acrobatic yoga troupe. The crowd-pleasing
pairs stretch the limits of aerial poses. They are featured in the Saint
Louis Post-Dispatch’s article "Feels
Like Flying" on 09.24.07.

Gravity Plays Favorites — a sassy, captivating acrobatic duo that performs
powerful aerial routines using only a standing pole. Performing at summer
concert series to TV programs, the dancers travel nationally about twice a
week.

Amazonia Belly Dancing – an electrifying group that performs the ancient
dance of the body’s life force — the belly, while also incorporating
innovative tools from modern dance and fire spinning.

MUSIC:

FIRE DOG — This local power trio serves up a playful attack of soul and
surf, fresh and electric. The FIRE DOG anthem, “2004,” is the show’s
theme. The group toured the Western United States last fall, playing over
30 shows in two months.

Celia’s Yuletide Express — This cheerful group of about 20 vocalists and
sleighbell-ists, accompanied by a live rockin swing band, spreads “glad
tidings of great joy” to all people, appearing at charity events and
holiday parties in the bleak mid-winter.

A St. Louis quartet specializing in African and Middle Eastern drumming
will provide the percussion and ambient sound.

ADDED SURPRISES:

Multiple accomplished local artists, such as Lyndsey Scott and Emily
Heymeyer have added pieces to the costumes, music, dance or story.

We are a mesh of figures impossibly and perfectly formed –– exalting and
exuding light as one. The wild formations stretch the hearts and minds of
all those who experience it. Please contact Rebecca Rivas at 314-537-9861
