Was that the title of that book by Styron? On losing his mind? I think so. Great title. SO, the service is coming together--and it's a very exciting line up. No, that makes it sound like a night of stand up. WHICH IT IS NOT. But, the various parts and pieces are coming together in a very beautiful way. The real thrill of making The Secret City, is how the service comes together each month, and how it sends me into the world, and the people I meet and the collaborations that are blossoming as a result.
So, DARKNESS--lightlessness, blindness, winter, sensory deprivation, shadows, rebirth, depression, the night sky...all of these things are in the stew this month. Here's a roster of what's happening.
Steve Giovinco will share his photographs taken in the dark
Daniel Jones will sing Odetta for us
Kelly Stuart is making an audio piece of an interview with Albert Rizzi, who lost his sight three years ago.
Emma Griffin will present her family's fruitcake'
Betty Shamieh will read the poetry of Denise Levertov
The Secret City Singers will be back for more fun.
And, we'll see some sketches of the new robes being designed for them by NIkki Hughes.
Jeremy Bass will play the lute for us--English Renaissance music.
And Jeremy and I will perform a song in there somewhere.
AND, we'll have out usual juicy features--The Mingling Ritual, The Cultural Calendar, Meditation,
The Reciting of The Gratitudes. And, I'll read my latest art-sermon, this month's adventure
was a visit to a floatation tank. YIPPEE!!!
It's going to be a lovely service, the end of an incredible year. Please come if you can.
