~*~ 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

hai reminiscing CG'ers and people-who-missed-out-this-year-but-not-next!
Ed, it was really tempted to take u up on that offer, however i believe that people could be less inclined to contribute to shows if in the past footage of them has been released without their direct consent....
Dun get me wrong, i am aching to release this stuff however i want to do it the rite way.

Hi Everyone!

Well as per typical Kate and I have ended up with no footage at all of CG (especially the show itself) so if you took footage of the show it would be lovely if you could pop it on a CD or DVD (or mini DV tape) and post it to us. Unedited would be preferable.

PM me for postage details smile
