HERE/NOW blogsite is born!

[TOTAL WORDS IN POST: 93]

Welcome!

This blog exists so that everyone may have an easy-to-use online forum in order to further connect HERE/NOW participants, audience members and the program's presenters with one another.

It also serves as a platform by which the HERE/NOW experience is able to more fully expand out into the public realm via general announcements, post-performance participant interviews, participant and audience feedback and our general thoughts on all things related to HERE/NOW and its role artistically, socially and culturally.

Please check back frequently. We'll be publishing new posts often.

Thanks!

Gratefully,
Christopher and Paige

You've attended HERE/NOW and you know how fascinating the duets between one Dancer and one Musician are, how engaging and fun it is to be a member of the audience knowing at any moment you could be asked to blindly pick the next Dancer or the next Musician out of the hat and how beautiful it is to be present as a very real sense of community is literally being built all around you. Give that experience and more to a friend or family member with a HERE/NOW Gift Certificate!

Gift Certificates may be used in any combination toward event entry fees ($8 suggested donation per individual), DVDs ($16 each) and any future HERE/NOW branded merchandise. They have no expiration date and are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. Fees and prices subject to change without prior notice.

See you at the next installment!

GOALS

The following five goals were felt to be vital to the invention of this program:

1) produce a quarterly program featuring an artistically relevant and community-engaging experience

2) facilitate a collaboration between Dancers and Musicians in a real-time setting so that personal and professional connections may be forged

3) set the stage for inter-community strengthening by which the Dance and Music communities' built-in audiences have the opportunity to be introduced to one another in a comfortable yet charged setting

4) produce a means by which OFS can grow into an increasingly conducive venue for the rehearsal and public presentation of all variety of performance-based work

5) facilitate a program through which focused attention may be given to the idea that willingly experiencing randomness enriches the fertile ground from which life itself develops
