b. movement


We were greeted at the entrance by fire twirling. Ooh la la!


Deb, Raf, and me


me and Narelle


Raf and I got our 'serious' on.


This guy was incredibly talented and able to identically replicate the portrait in a very short time. Another guy was rapping and doing some kind of impromptu spoken word while he painted.


This belly dancer happened to be in the Communication Course I did over the weekend. Small world!

Daylight Underground, the featured band (Michael) who created the event

Thursday evening I went with Narelle and met up with some other friends (Raf, Myles, Deb) at Miss Libertine's to see a massive gig of a particularly distinct nature. The evening was designed to blur the boundaries between performer and audience and consisted of fire twirling, live bands, live painting, spoken word (which I'd describe as free prose rap), belly dancers, and more. Their invitation was so inspiring, I'm including it:

It is here and now that I surrender
water as my muse
I choose
to dissolve
with a view
to evolve
beyond who I am becoming
and just be who i am
