Creativity, Flow, and Movement plus Twin Hoopoing!

Creativity, Flow and Movement plus Twin Hooping! with Michele
Sunday 22 3-7pm
102 Brewers Ln, Carrboro NC
$40

In this workshop i will ask you to break out of yourself and free up your movement practice. We will play games to empower and express emotions in our dance as well as play with a variety of physical experiences such as: weight, gravity, softness, hardness, fluidity and abrupt changes, tension, and speed variation. We will play with body mechanics and talk about some movement theories. You will learn about creating a practice to keep and increase your range of motion.

During this journey we will explore many different methods of moving with the hoop: jumps, isolations, body rolls, tosses, transitional spaces, move creation and how moves can 'fit' together, creating flow. And of course, if you can do it with one, why not two?

About me
Dancing was my first aspiration and joy in life. Through hooping I discovered that dance truly is my home. I have been dancing with hoops since 2002 and I am also a hatha yoga instructor as well as a formally trained visual artist. My thrills in life are for the odd, whimsical, magical and fun.

slavery a thing of the past?

I would like to remind everyone this holiday season the importance of buying fair trade chocolate. Most chocolate consumed in America is produced by child labor in extreme conditions with and estimated 10% of the children enslaved.

the right to live? no new news really

I believe it is commonly recognized by various institutions that humans (us, if you're reading this) need 3 things to live. Food. Water. Shelter. The first thing the bill of rights says is that we have the right to life.

Once upon a time, we had these things. Food comes out of the groung just about everywhere. Water, the same. Shelter with a very little imagination applied is also widely available. So what's the problem? How can anyone be poor, how can anyone starve to death. Why do we have to ask permission to be alive? Please bank, can I have some food? Can I have some water? Can I have a house? It's not even the banks land!

My Grandfather told me that electricity, water, telephone, all used to be owned by the government and it was very affordable becuase they were opperated not for a profit but as a public service. Water's the last one left for us but other humans elsewhere aren't so lucky. Water is the in targets for privitazation. I don't want to pay to be alive. We have right to life. How can we exersise that? Any suggestions? One organizations is trying to get the right to water added to the UN bill of rights. I doubt that will help but i signed it. article31.org/ you can too if you like. But really i want to know what do you think we can do to get our first inalienable right back.

how dumb are we?

Cheat me once, cheat me can't be cheated again?

The worst thing is that this only happened in the 80's, most voters should remember this. (not me i'm waaaaay to young)

i recently remebered asking my Dad, when i was just a wee lass, what he thought about Al Gore and George Bush. He said, George Bush is a theif something something, banking, something something. So in light of recent events i thought i'd look it up. Why isn't it all over the news that John Mcain was involved in that crap?! Of course he pushed for the stupid bailout.

Deregulation
Although the deregulation of S&Ls gave them many of the capabilities of banks, it did not bring them under the same regulations as banks, and the new legislation allowed them to enter new lending businesses with very little oversight.

Imprudent real estate lending
In an effort to take advantage of the real estate boom (outstanding US mortgage loans: 1976 $700 billion; 1980 $1.2 trillion)[citation needed] and high interest rates of the late 1970s and early 1980s, many S&Ls lent far more money than was prudent, and to risky ventures which many S&Ls were not qualified to assess. L. William Seidman, former chairman of both the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Resolution Trust Corporation, stated, "The banking problems of the '80s and '90s came primarily, but not exclusively, from unsound real estate lending."[3]



Lincoln Savings and Loan
The Lincoln Savings led to the Keating Five political scandal, in which five U.S. senators were implicated in an influence-peddling scheme. It was named for Charles Keating, who headed Lincoln Savings and made $300,000 as political contributions to them in the 1980s. Three of those senators – Alan Cranston (D-CA), Don Riegle (D-MI), and Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ) – found their political careers cut short as a result. Two others – John Glenn (D-OH) and John McCain (R-AZ) – were rebuked by the Senate Ethics Committee for exercising "poor judgment" for intervening with the federal regulators on behalf of Keating.[10]


[edit] Silverado Savings and Loan
Silverado Savings and Loan collapsed in 1988, costing taxpayers $1.3 billion. Neil Bush, son of then Vice President of the United States George H. W. Bush, was Director of Silverado at the time. Neil Bush was accused of giving himself a loan from Silverado, but he denied all wrongdoing.[2]

The US Office of Thrift Supervision investigated Silverado's failure and determined that Neil Bush had engaged in numerous "breaches of his fiduciary duties involving multiple conflicts of interest." Although Bush was not indicted on criminal charges, a civil action was brought against him and the other Silverado directors by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; it was eventually settled out of court, with Bush paying $50,000 as part of the settlement, the Washington Post reported.[11]

As a director of a failing thrift, Bush voted to approve $100 million in what were ultimately bad loans to two of his business partners. And in voting for the loans, he failed to inform fellow board members at Silverado Savings & Loan that the loan applicants were his business partners.[citation needed]

Neil Bush paid a $50,000 fine and was banned from banking activities for his role in taking down Silverado, which cost taxpayers $1.3 billion. A Resolution Trust Corporation Suit against Bush and other officers of Silverado was settled in 1991 for $26.5 million.
