Black Firday? more like white friday
Consumer plays trumps cultural days
No color deserves to represent the absurd
but I'm calling friday white
For the sake of "JOBS"
sold sheep souls earth robs
Personal participation so abstract, no clear fact
your little duckets just a drop in the bucket, so fuck it
shop anyway
right?
That Thursday has a chance to advance it's legacy and be a day of food at a table and family.
ONE We will bring everyone's attention to the concept of oneness. You can feel this as an expression of universality and god or just as a simultaneous role call of the participants answering the question "who's in?"

Words “Your are an oppressor, oppressor oppressor” Don’t oppress me.

CONGO CHEGOU
You know the track Mestre Suassuna - O Congo Chegou http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwD3b2qVuQA&feature=related
Musician artist Bill Good will play the flute part, with a wind controller i.e. wind synthesizer. We will duplicate the back and forth switching from call/response singing to instrument solos, including drums and Caxixi solos.
WHAT TO DO: Listen to Mestre Suassuna - O Congo Chegou catch the feel and energy so that on saturday you can anticipate the switches. During the presentation, team up with someone you vibe with and/or have done steps with before and stick dance your pants off. (not to be taken literially)
READINGS
3 times during the dance, standard Maculele breaks will be followed by a reading. The reading will focus on the following theme:
Trees and humans intertwine in complex relationships. Trees provide for many aspect of our lives, food, shelter, warmth, tools, weapons and musical instruments and more. This dance celebrates that relationship. But we also acknowledge that humans have taken a selfish stance and deforestation and other abuses of nature are more the norm then the exception.
WHAT TO DO: During the dance listen to the reading. Let it then inform and inspire your dancing
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TREES
If your not into getting into the spotlight then you can help with the setting. join a row of caxixi shakers or volunteer to hold a "cardboard pole with cardbord leaves and be a background "dancing tree"
WHAT TO DÖ: When you arrive talk to me and I will direct you to the person in charge of props. Have fun.

About the police
Fake carb of justice
Critize the police like their the beast
Are they not just the finger tips
Front line of a sick ness
That veins through plams and arms end down legs to the toes
That if one wants to know stands your part
Of a people torn apart
Who cannot see how we're a part
Would you crusify teachers cause kids arnt smart?
Or see that poverty plays a part.
Do we we ban lighters and matches cause the fire starts
When garbage piles on sidewalks would we chant fuck the garbage man. And demand their arrest.
Cause the activist live on the front line
Did we let them win the war of our mind.
That you're a victim of life
Critize the police like their the beast
Are they not just your fingertips
Critize the police like their the beast
Are they not just our fingertips
death that reminder
just in case u coulnt find a
motivation to make sensations
outta each and every second
every minute
be in it to win it
think u got nothin left
nothing to be thankful for
take a breath
no rewinder so play your moves right
no take backs
not even 20 second time outs
lights out one time, save my soul o load.
and your name be on the other side of the weegiee board

The Animal Within
Don't you think we should trust the next generation because they have a new relation with technology that we do not and the they will start to hear the collective voice in these social media rooms that were just weird freek show people and of course the back bone of facebook twitter. etc.. This generation is forming collective sentiments about the news they hear. When stuff happens they get the Internets reporting and reaction at a flow of information that is author correcting itself to the billionth of a degree. (number of people on the internet)
2023
The billion
It was not the one of the past. It had reached critical mass. We learn how to read and register the whole map of all
And that same bit of knowledge in everyone hands with their device that had just left but was on my side if not by my side They connected with the whole and everyone made a decision, silence as well a vote. . the made decisions
and it will be the first time we heard our voice
The beast makes a mockery
running wild in a peaceful society
Well evolved selves man of peace
with knowledge of self
knowing good health
best to care for and honor
all part of our selves the animal just wants to be feed.
