~*~ COMMON GROUND 2007 TEASER ~*~
!!!!!!!!!*********COMMON GROUND SITE IS UPDATED*********!!!!!!!!!!!!
www.common-ground.net
we will be updating it progressively as we confirm / think of stuff closer to the date.
------------------
Greetings to all you fine, dandy, spangley and sparkly people!!
Just putting the word out…..
Common Ground is an Annual object manipulation and lifestyle meeting held from Friday the 5th of October to Monday the 8th of October. It's aimed specifically at people who want to relax, have fun, share and learn in a positive and supportive environment.
Set in the picturesque Adelaide Hills, the location has ample room for camping, workshops and more.
Mainly focussing on (but by no means limited to) Twirling, Dance, Music and Circus related skills. Workshops cover a very wide range of different interests and skill levels. From complete novice to professional performer, we think we have something for you.
Core to the concept is participation. The event is created by those who attend sharing their skills and experiences with others - to borrow a phrase thrown around at Burning Man:
"No Spectators, only Participants."
Although, if doing every workshop isn’t you style - just chill out and contribute to the relaxed, happy atmosphere.
Confirmed Dates:
Friday 5th October
Saturday 6th October
Sunday 7th October
Monday 8th October
The dates are a week later this year giving the crew time to be completely set up and running by the time people arrive Friday morning.
Friday – arrive anytime, gates will be open at 8am. Workshops start in the afternoon.
Saturday – **Show**
Sunday – TBA
Monday – workshops and offsite by after lunch.
We have already had some reservations on workshops these include:
Yoga
Drumming
Learn how to DJ
Yogaeria
TICKETS – Limited to 150!! And yes they will sell out!
Early bird - $30 booking before August 31st
Just missed the worm - $40 September 1st – October 4th
Missed the boat - $50 on the door if there are any remaining - there weren't last year
Please email if you would like an EB ticket – go on be the first you know you want too!
IDEAS: for workshops and contributions most welcome.
As in 2005 and 2006 – there will always be smiles, fun, madness, music, dancing and laughing.
Stay tuned for future updates.
Cheers,
Kate and the Common Ground Crew

I've made a flickr group, somewhere we can stick all the photos we've taken, do reminiscing, and poke fun at each other- https://www.flickr.com/groups/cg07 is where it's at.
I made it a public group, so everyone should be able to post stuff up and look at it and whatnot. I'll be dumping my few hundred on it shortly, once i get back and get a chance to sort them all out.
Can't wait to see everyone's photos

Although I did just sleep for 12 hours and then get up and have a shower. So I'm not feeling too shabby!
Thank you to all the wonderful people for making the weekend what it was :hugs:
Pictures going up as soon as I can squish them down enough to fit in my gallery!
Now back to real life...

It was really great to see the enthusiasm for fire fan techniques, we had to hold another workshop to cover enough movements. It's validation that there's alot of potential in this underutilised fire toy.

Contact without dance is like sex without wiggling.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's contributions
EDIT: It seems that you have to be a flickr member to look at them, so i'm going to make a photobucket one as well. I'll post up the address for that once it's done.
Edit 1.5: https://www.flickr.com/photos/13225623@N08/sets/72157602347701049/ is the current publicly viewable page for my pictures from cg, as far as i can tell.
