Thanks to all you well wishers!! ----------------------------------------&-------------------------------------------- presented
by Warriors
of the Revolution 8pm
- $7 ticket at the door Kari will be one of many thoughtful and exciting performers who will honor a revolutionary woman who has contributed to their own revolutionary nature. "Warriors of the Revolution. My grandmother wouldn't describe herself this way...I see how it fits though..." This multimedia performance honors Myrtle Engen, my maternal grandmother, and how she inspired me to be the revolutionary woman I am today. Her words and the example of her life taught me to be independent in thought and community oriented in action. She modeled non-judgement and unconditional love. These are the conditions for true revolution especially in these times. This is a particularly important work for me to do right now. I am full of emotion and joy at the opportunity to create a performance art piece to honor my Grandmother. This
performance features my 1992 music video "Tracks on the Land".
The working title of this song was, "Junkie Farmer tries to
forget," and asks us to look at the buying and selling of Earth
and women, the addiction of the soil to the petroleum based fertilizers
and insecticides and the addicting of women to crack and meth and
other nasty substances. This video shows my Grandmother, a strong
and independent crone living on her lush green farm in contrast
to other options of living. ----------------------------------------&-------------------------------------------- July 17 - St. Lukes in Minnetonka. Kari will perform original Celtic inspired music for their Celtic Sunday Service. Brigid's Song will begin the service. A happy jigging air asking for all to come play in St. Brigit's way. We honor the Goddess of the tripple fire and the Sainted woman who prayed for "a lake of beer for the King of kings." The "Benbecula Weaving Song" will help tie in all of nature's elements with the unity of unconditional love into a kilt pattern we may all wear. "I am honored to share my music with this congregation of hard working peace makers." ----------------------------------------&-------------------------------------------- Friends, you really don't want to miss this. On the centennial of Norway's independence this is sure to be a festival full of meaning for all who attend, even if you are not Norwegian. Huldre
folk perform Thursday July 28th Only a few hours from Minneapolis (through Rochester and over the border) Decorah is a stunningly beautiful place with plenty of camping and charming B&B's. Just take Hwy 52 all the way. ----------------------------------------&-------------------------------------------- Ms. Kari's Summer Greenthumbs starts up again July 11th!
