number Saturday, July 16, 2011 at 8:00 PM at the Barrymore Theater here in Madison. (<a href="http://www.prettybigshow.com/home.html">more info</a>).<div><br /></div><div>The Charleston certainly is an exuberant dance. I've been learning a lot from Sharon Davis, Ginger Rogers, and a friend here in town. It's been a blast and a challenge. {some moves include "bees knees," "happy feet," "swivel and swirl," "knee illusions," "scarecrow", chugs, slides, lock turns, oh my!}</div><div><br /></div><div>And it's about dancing for the sheer love of dancing. So, I'm switching gears a little from the moody, technology enhanced fan dances that I've been doing for the past 6 years.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now, a little time for inspiration.

Sometimes they run naked shouting through the streets. Sometimes they lie down and froth at the mouth, and yelp as a fox yelps. And on some part of the body of the possessed a moving lump appears under the skin, which seems to have a life of its own. Prick it with a needle, and it glides instantly to another place. By no grasp can it be so tightly compressed by a strong hand that it will not slip from under the fingers.” - Lafcadio Hearn <span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px; font-family:sans-serif, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"></span></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px 'Trebuchet MS'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:sans-serif, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px 'Trebuchet MS'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:sans-serif, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></p><p></p></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11855437-2049743826751984028?l=delicatemich.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>delicate MICHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17828934805478815884noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11855437.post-42708961347889622292010-02-14T17:57:00.000-08:002010-03-17T16:50:07.432-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9tIalNjvSJ8/S3iq_1a67xI/AAAAAAAAA5U/7ZfsdDcl2-4/s1600-h/biteFeb12b.jpg"></a><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lDIufDiBhQo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lDIufDiBhQo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9tIalNjvSJ8/S3iq1hbgCnI/AAAAAAAAA5M/Ff8cU6gpRJc/s1600-h/BiteFeb12a.jpg"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9tIalNjvSJ8/S3iq1hbgCnI/AAAAAAAAA5M/Ff8cU6gpRJc/s320/BiteFeb12a.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438284386533378674" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 291px; height: 320px; " /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.secretingredientarts.com/">Secret Ingredient Art Collective</a>'s first show at the Inferno was a hit!</div><div>I had a blast.

In this myth, Ishtar decides to visit her sister, Ereshkigal, in the underworld. When Ishtar approaches the gates of the underworld, the gatekeeper lets Ishtar pass through the seven gates, opening one gate at a time. At each gate, Ishtar has to shed an article of clothing. When she finally passes the seventh gate, she is naked. In a rage, Ishtar throws herself at Ereshkigal, goddess of the underworld; but Ereshkigal orders her servant Namtar to imprison Ishtar and unleash sixty diseases against her. After Ishtar descends to the underworld, all sexual activity ceases on earth.<br /><br />Ishtar gathered her seven talismans of power. These were<br />1) Her golden crown<br />2) pendants hanging from her ears<br />3) A jewelled necklace<br />4) jewels hanging at her breasts<br />5) The bracelets on her arms and ankles<br />6) A girdle embroidered with the birthstones of the Universe<br />7) Vestments that were wrapped around her form (gown)<div><br /></div><div>*also note the King Harod/Salome biblical version</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9tIalNjvSJ8/Sog-hBkd4AI/AAAAAAAAArc/SDDa-St7KQ8/s1600-h/7veilsprint.jpg"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9tIalNjvSJ8/Sog-hBkd4AI/AAAAAAAAArc/SDDa-St7KQ8/s200/7veilsprint.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370611292717309954" border="0" style="margin-top: 0pt;

So, I blurred the footage extremely in post and gave quick stills of randomly composed shots and it fit perfectly. Some might call it torture though. This piece was recently projected on to the side of an art shanty in the Twin Cities along with some other short films of mine meant for the screen.
