It suddenly got cold! I guess that happens every year but it is still a surprise when it happens. Oh well. It does bring people inside so our presenters and teachers are happy! I have been sending you messages from time to time from other venues when asked and when I think you might be interested. At this point we have a wide variety of interests on our mailing list so if something comes to you that sees off the wall that's because it's aimed at a different segment of the mailing list. Someday I will get sofisicated enough to segment the list (or someone will volunteer to do it for me!). Again, I will send an email when there are new entries to the blog.

WORKSHOPS
Thursday, November 6th 7:15 p.m. - Playback Theatre
Times of Change- Hope for the Future Stories from the Inside Out, Learning the Art of Playback Theatre! Final Workshop for this season! Join us for an evening of Playback Theatre! Fall is upon us with blowing leaves and changing winds. What memories or stories would you like to share? In these workshops we will play, awaken our senses, exercise ourselves as artists and humanitarians, practice compassionate listening, and learn the fundamentals of Playback Theatre. PT is an interactive, improvisational theatre form used to illuminate life and incite dialogue. In Playback theatre, personal life stories are shared by audience members and then re-enacted spontaneously on stage by a team of actors and a musician. It is an educational and curative form of entertainment now practiced far and wide in over 50 countries. We will explore these themes through learning the art of improv theatre, practice its forms and listen to our own stories. This workshop is recommended for performers, teachers, educators, activists’ social workers, policy makers, and everyone else. Please wear loose clothing. November 6 7:15pm-9:30pm North End Studio Burlington 860-6203 $15.00 “People need to tell their stories. It’s a basic human imperative. From the telling of our stories comes our sense of identity, our place in the world, and our compass of the world itself.” Playback Theatre brings “theatre back from the domain of entertainment to its earlier purpose of preserving memory and holding the tribe together.” --------------------------------------------------------
This Thursday, November 6th, we will have our final workshop for the fall. We will work on the theme of Times of Change- Hope for the Future. Coming on the heals of the election, it is also a the beginning of winter when we go within and look inside. What do we want? What stories are there? What are our dreams?
Many people who come to Playback are shocked and surprised at how powerful it is to not only be able to share a story, but to have it come alive and be witnessed. In these workshops we learn about the different roles and forms that make up Playback, through space that is given to our stories.
We will look to our stories to find the seeds of hope and have them come alive through storytelling, sound, movement and improv.

-Burlington Free Press
"Currently Vermont's secret, The Cush have delivered a fine record that's well worth seeking out and thoroughly deserves to generate the band much wider acclaim than they seem to have garnered thus far."
-Geraint Jones, Comes with a Smile (UK)
Much like the husband/wife duos at the creative core of Yo La Tengo and Sonic Youth, Burette and Gabrielle Douglas bring a sound all their own to The Cush—handcrafted psych-pop suites, sculpted with the help of vintage tape delays and the inspiration that can only come from enduring the frozen tundra environs of Burlington, Vermont. (The group's originally from the much toastier city of Dallas, Texas.)

Question ID: 28807
Where can I go on the web or how can I find a consistent and updated
history of which acts/bands have sold out in which cities? I am
looking for a comprehensive view on popular bands in the US that
regulary sell out their shows and when and where they do the best.
Possibly in chart form or something to that effect.
