Location & Route:

Gather at 5:00pm
registration area In front of EPIC Cafe

Registration is meant to simply make sure musical groups are aware of their placement in relation to other musical groups (for obvious reasons) and proximity to other (non-musical) projects that may heighten the wonderful experience of the myriad of spontaneous collaborations that happen. This year– floats, moving installations, bands etc will have a separate path into the finale grounds so that we can better accommodate the flow of the finale experience-look for more details…

Procession Begins 6pm

As organizers of the Procession, our priority is always quality of experience over quantity of participants, and though the Procession has grown exponentially, we will always strive to propagate an “ALL SOULS PROCESSION” that is a grassroots, non-commercial, hyper-inclusive, sacred event dedicated to honoring our ancestors and loved ones who have passed on.

ASP ROUGH GUIDE

DO: Come and enjoy the experience in a way that works for you. Dress up, get out of your regular regiment and persona; make a mask, a puppet, an art installation, an altar; some way of honoring those who have gone before, who we remember, honor, release, and embrace. Allow yourself to flow into an experience of real community, where we interact in ways that are different, authentic to our nature, and open to our feelings.

DON’T: Be high, drunk, or in anyone’s space in a way that makes them feel uncomfortable. This event should be safe to bring a newborn infant to, or your dear aging grandmother. What allows the magic to happen is for everyone to feel safe. It is your job to create this kind of space. The moment we require help from police or any other authority to make sure that happens, we have lost something truly precious. Please make sure to honor barricades, civilian security and civic event staff at grand finale and take care for yourself and your fellow participants in stepping off of curbs, crossing streets, train tracks and trolley tracks etc.

Food is an element in life which has so many enriching aspects. It is in the preparing, the creating and in the sharing of meals where we are given many gifts. Remembering Dinner is the latest project of the ASP Weekend, in which participants contribute treasured recipes from their ancestors and dear friends who have past on. The goal is to create a collection of recipes to share with the community over the course of several potlucks (separate from the community potlucks).

This collection will also result in a cookbook which can be applied as a fund raising tool for MMOS. These recipes would be collected during a series of community potlucks, beginning late September.

Each Remembering Dinner Potluck would go like this: A person brings a prepared dish of the treasured recipe and its text. The one criteria for the dish is that has 6-8 servings. All are welcome to participate. For folks who do not bring a dish a request can be made for them to bring beverages. If a community potluck is held once a month for seven months a fine collection could be had and then a cookbook could follow.

The Procession of Little Angels

Saturday November 6, 2010 * ARMORY PARK* S. 6th Ave between 12th and 13th St.

Kids Art Activities: 3pm
Kids Finale Workshops: 5pm
Procession Begins: 6pm
Little Angels Finale: 6:45pm with Stories That Soar

PERSONAL ALTARS VIGIL: 3-11pm
SPOKEN WORD SOUL POETRY: 8-11pm

Little Angels is a family event acknowledging and celebrating deceased loved ones from the perspective of the child. Children participate in art activities such as wing-making and decorating, face painting, sugar skull decorating, story telling, and theater. Finale workshops are offered so that the children can participate in their own Procession/Finale-Spectacle. Angels on stilts lead the children on a procession around the Downtown public square to the finale stage area, where artists present a live performance-spectacle.

The public is invited to bring photos and drawings of their children’s deceased loved ones: pets, family and friends. We will scan them on site and project them large on the library wall. Bring a candle in a container to illuminate the children’s procession as the sun sets.Following the Little Angels Finale, the Spoken Word Soul Poetry begins…

Additionally with the huge success of the 2nd Annual Tucson Circus Arts Summer camp we are hosting children’s and youth stilt workshops that will be focused on helping to create the Little Angels Finale at the event

Every Sunday in September and October at 5 p.m. * Mansfield Park

All Kids with stilting skills are welcome to participate–as well we will have 10 pair of stilts available for use or purchase.
