Photos from QWest Field and a thank you

Dear Seeds of Compassion Dancers-

It has been over a week since the big event, and now that we have some elbow room in our schedule we wanted to say THANK YOU once again for dancing with us! The dance was utterly amazing, and many images taken during the piece have found themselves in the newspaper and beyond.
The organizers wrote us a whole hearted apology for the time mentioned on the ticket and lack of mention on the website and program, resulting in significantly fewer people witnessing the dance. We extend that apology to you. We were functioning under a very different impression that indeed we would be included in the program (they even asked for program notes from us 2 weeks prior) and there would be many more people in the stands. All that said, it was still an amazing experience for us and a blessing to get to dance in such a joyous and meditative way with all of you! What a rare gift and opportunity!

In Bounding Thanks and Gratitude,
anna and john



UPCOMING EVENT: Liz Erber has asked that we perform this score for International Dance Day this Tuesday, April 29th at the Westlake Center downtown. For those of you who are interested and available, come on over! We'll be meeting a little before noon near the fountain (the rectangular one that you can walk through), will do some general flocking and then go through the score shortly thereafter. It will be a laid back and relaxed opportunity to do the score again (the score is still on YoutTube if you want to refresh your memory). Bring friends who want to try out flocking! Please email Liz Erber if you are planning to attend (so we can get a rough guestamate as to how many people will be there--- if you forget to email, come anyway!). She is also doing a group piece focusing on cell phones if you want to participate (if it's not too late): Lerber@gmail.com

FLOCKING IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE: We're thinking about starting a weekly open movement meditation/flocking in the park just for the sheer grace and joy of it (through the Summer). It would be Sundays from 1:30 - 2:30 (ish) at Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill and open to anyone and everyone. Let us know if you're interested!
