~*~ COMMON GROUND 2007 TEASER ~*~
!!!!!!!!!*********COMMON GROUND SITE IS UPDATED*********!!!!!!!!!!!!
www.common-ground.net
we will be updating it progressively as we confirm / think of stuff closer to the date.
------------------
Greetings to all you fine, dandy, spangley and sparkly people!!
Just putting the word out…..
Common Ground is an Annual object manipulation and lifestyle meeting held from Friday the 5th of October to Monday the 8th of October. It's aimed specifically at people who want to relax, have fun, share and learn in a positive and supportive environment.
Set in the picturesque Adelaide Hills, the location has ample room for camping, workshops and more.
Mainly focussing on (but by no means limited to) Twirling, Dance, Music and Circus related skills. Workshops cover a very wide range of different interests and skill levels. From complete novice to professional performer, we think we have something for you.
Core to the concept is participation. The event is created by those who attend sharing their skills and experiences with others - to borrow a phrase thrown around at Burning Man:
"No Spectators, only Participants."
Although, if doing every workshop isn’t you style - just chill out and contribute to the relaxed, happy atmosphere.
Confirmed Dates:
Friday 5th October
Saturday 6th October
Sunday 7th October
Monday 8th October
The dates are a week later this year giving the crew time to be completely set up and running by the time people arrive Friday morning.
Friday – arrive anytime, gates will be open at 8am. Workshops start in the afternoon.
Saturday – **Show**
Sunday – TBA
Monday – workshops and offsite by after lunch.
We have already had some reservations on workshops these include:
Yoga
Drumming
Learn how to DJ
Yogaeria
TICKETS – Limited to 150!! And yes they will sell out!
Early bird - $30 booking before August 31st
Just missed the worm - $40 September 1st – October 4th
Missed the boat - $50 on the door if there are any remaining - there weren't last year
Please email if you would like an EB ticket – go on be the first you know you want too!
IDEAS: for workshops and contributions most welcome.
As in 2005 and 2006 – there will always be smiles, fun, madness, music, dancing and laughing.
Stay tuned for future updates.
Cheers,
Kate and the Common Ground Crew

The Chillout area will be a seperate undercover space - similar to last year (but even funkier). The marquee is 10m*10m a bit like a circus tent (tall in the middle).
there is also the big hall for workshops too.
That makes three seperate areas for workshoppy goodness!
so rain or shine, its gonna roxxor!

so gabe are you still running a pims workshop? id be well up for attending that
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?
what goes around comes around. unless you're into stalls.

Pimms workshop
That was Garthy's bag at PLAY, and honestly, I do think it needs to be a proper Englishman doing that one! I'll do another Post Packing Up Cuppa workshop with Biggins though, I remember that one going down very well on the last day last year...To be honest, I've just had a fairly harrowing weekend with my very elderly dad in Sydney, and am about to go into a week's work... then on a plane on Friday..
to be honest folks, I am expecting to be somewhat frayed and possibly in need of some TLC when I get down. Can we have a TLC for Overfunctioners Workshop please?
.....Can't juggle balls but I sure as hell can juggle details....

I think we can definitely arrange that! Maybe merge it with a Coopers workshop!
