Footsbarn Traveling Theatre is still raising HECK!


Daniel Rovai, a Footsbarn alumnus, was "down under" for some R&R -- check out his movie Silent Sonata. (Slow Loader)

Inter-related company Buchinger's Boot Theatre is appearing at Glastonbury Festival 22nd to the 26th June. Glastonbury reportedly sold 150,000 tickets at €200 in four hours without announcing the line-up -- plus 35,000 people are working there. That's something in THIS economy!
My friend John Kilby will linger in England until July -- then on to the festival Villeneuve En Scène with BBT. They're developing an adult show called Petrology for next year.

Footsbarn/Great Salt Lake Mime Troupe Alumnus Gregg Moore has opened his musical vaults on the Internet:

(L to R) Start Curtis, Katie Duck, Gregg Moore, and Paul Blackwell.

Look and listen on Relevant Music.
Great Salt Lake Mime Troupe; Friends Big Band; Available Jelly; and even MOORE to come.

Nouveau Clowns -- there's a Facebook page that alerts all and sundry about performances of the Worldwide Baggy Pants Krewe called Clowns On The Road AKA (EN EL CAMÍ/EN EL CAMINO). Get your translating pages ready though -- the posts can be in Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Italian, German or even English!

Movement Master Philippe Gaulier will be at Triángulo de Madrid September 19 through 23 2011.

Former LeCoq student Julie (Frida, Lion King) Taymor was released from her contract to direct Spider-Man, Hold Back The Dark -- it has been on Broadway for nearly a year without a formal opening, to the delight of joke-writers at the Tony Awards.

See Nouveau Clown Karin Pipa Wimmer at the European Juggler's Convention this summer!

Pipa is also organizing a Streetperformers' Forum during the EJC ...
Saturday, August 6 at 4:00pm - August 14 at 4:00pm.

EJC Munich 2011 6 -14. Aug. 2001 Munich Olympic Park http://www.ejc2011.org/
Enjoy the best extreme unicyclist Shows and Finals on August 13 -- BMW World.
The EJA is a non-profit association for European jugglers. Its main goal is to promote juggling in Europe, especially by ensuring that, each year, a European Juggling Convention (EJC) takes place in a different European city or town. In 2011 the Convention will take place in Munich - Bavaria.

Pipa was also at the Street Performance World Championship in Portlaoise, Ireland, held during early June.

Reports From Behind The Zion Curtain!


Oh My HECK! -- Webmaster Michael Is Back From THERE!

The 004 CD Release Party was one of those legendary, fabulous get-togethers on a perfect day in The Avenues neighborhood of Salt Lake. Quite a few people from KRCL-FM were on hand to celebrate creativity and diversity. WM Michael was even interviewed briefly, after John Reese and Scott Simons, on that great community radio station during Saturday afternoon's Smile Jamaica, the Reggae show. He spoke about the fabulous SKA/Dance band, and it's talented support staff, like Steve McC, Stephen F, and Elaine M -- Buy the 004 CD HERE!

See Webmaster Michael's review of 004's music!

Webmaster Michael and Patricia Droubay at Repertory Dance Theatre's 45th Anniversary Celebration on May 21. On the poster at the right is Mike's long-time muse, friend, community mover-and-shaker, and RDT's Artistic Director Linda C. Smith.

Michael was dressed to the nines for Ballet West the night before. Well, maybe the eights -- he wore a turtleneck with his suit. Above, he's more dressed to the plus-fours in those saggy baggy shorts!

Clown is a social character in all realms of life. The performance situation, be it theater or circus, is probably the most common form through which we know clowns; but it’s the least important. The primary requirements to reveal your personal clown is a knowledge of the comic formula and the creation of a clown heart. You have always had, and always will have, a clown heart, but to revive it demands the simple desire to regain and sustain your youth throughout all aspects of life...

Parliament-Funkadelic & Funky Disciples:

Uh Oh: From Asbury (New Jersey) Park Press: Plainfield music legend George Clinton has been hospitalized with an infection, but there are indications he'll be ready to funk again soon. “George Clinton is in the hospital,” read a posting on the George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic Facebook page. “He went in for a routine check up and they kept him to treat an infection. He will be just fine. Thank you for all your prayers and concern. We will post more information as it becomes available. Please do not worry.” Attempts to reach representatives of Clinton, 69, for more information about the hospitalization have been unsuccessful. “The funk will survive, just like it always does,” tweeted Clinton Friday morning. However, the George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic show scheduled for Friday night at Joey Harrison's Surf Club in Ortley Beach has been postponed ...
Word from the band is that George's next P-Funk gig is BB King's in New York City at the end of May!

On A HAPPIER Note: Ronkat Spearman's Katdelic, Sugar Booty Dancer Rasa Vitalia, and other Funksters shared performances over the Memorial Day Weekend during San Francisco's Carnaval celebration.

I See MAY DAY On The Horizon!


May Day Is Labor Day In Europe

But before they celebrate the Working Person, Holland throws a nationwide party in honor of their (constitutional) monarch's birthday. Davey Norket played a FUNKY Friday-night gig this year on the occasion:

MD Squared is the group; King's Eye is the name of the place!


No, this event had NOTHING to do with the Royal Wedding in London the day before, but TV announcer Martin Bashears said that the young English couple were "...going to FUNK IT UP!..." at the party after the ceremonies.

Speaking of FUNK:
