Posted By admin | Posted On: January 17, 2010

For those of you who attended the Staff Selection meeting this last Saturday and perhaps even took part in the Dark Moon ritual that followed:

Remember that thing that your forgetful Priest could not remember to announce? Well, we recalled what is was hours later on the road home and it is this!

If you signed up for a staff position and need to be added to the ATC_SMF Yahoo Group for staff related festival announcements, please contact John Calderon via email @ (johnc at aquatabch dot org) to be invited to join the email list. Please include your Full Name and your email address (even if its the one you are sending from; you have the option to give a different address if you choose for enrollment) along with the position you are signed up for. I’ll get you added ASAP.

If you know someone who signed up for a position, but might not see this announcement, if you could be so kind to forward this on to them that would also be a big help!

Sorry for any inconvenience! Thank you for your commitment to this very special event!

Spring Mysteries Festival 2010 Auditions – Additional Details

Posted By admin | Posted On: November 19, 2009

From Brian Hatcher, Ritual Director, Spring Mysteries Festival 2010

**Please read the entire message if you are wishing to audition**

Hello Everyone,

I would like to fill you all in with a few details about this coming Spring Mysteries, the audition, and some thoughts and ideas we are looking at which would bring some amazing changes to the festival, challenge all the participants, and encourage huge growth from the cast and crew.

2010 marks the 25th Anniversary of Spring Mysteries!! This is a monumental event, which deserves all of our fullest commitment, focus and energies to create a spectacular ritual for all participants. It is a significant moment where we have an opportunity to take the festival to new heights, develop new dimensions and aspects, and allow each participant to explore and experience the festival like never before.

The first important decision I would like to address is a casting idea I had ever since the end of SMF 2009. I approached the ATC with the thought of holding over some of the cast from ’09 to be able to take the work and energy we built over the festival and increase the potential for even greater success. My thoughts were to hold over the four major roles and actors (Karin/Demeter, Scott/Hades, Gwynedh/Kore, Anthony/Zagreus). With the focus and work that these people went through during the rehearsal time, and festival, my feeling is if we could start with that foundation of work then we would have the opportunity to build the energies, characters, and internal connections, which could blow the roof sky high. This is not a “normal” tactic with casting for SMF, and does come with its own set of risks. That said; this proposition IS NOT driven by politics, personal agenda, or a thought of “cool-kid’ism”. And, for fairness to everyone interested in auditioning for SMF, it has also been decided that these four actors must re-audition along with everyone so I can make the best choice in casting. My only intent is for the greater good of the festival, the community and the ATC. All roles are open, and nothing is 100% guarantied for anyone. And, I wish to highlight the fact that this choice will not, I repeat will not set a standard for casting in the future.

Another choice which is being looked at for the festival is changing the structured timing of the ritual. It is being played about to possibly begin the ritual on Friday, running through the completion of Lessers II, and then on Saturday we would perform the Greaters ritual. Again, this idea comes with some risk, and is not set in stone as of yet.

Choices in the changing of format with the whole festival are only here to recognize the grandeur of this most important year. These are choices focused on giving the participant of Spring Mysteries the greatest ability to find, learn and relearn the gifts of our goddess Demeter. And, I would like to reiterate to all that these choices are not motivated by anything other than a commitment to the greater community, to the ritual, and to acknowledging the work of the ATC through these many years.

I am honored and humbled to be able to direct such an event. And, I am excited to see you all at auditions bringing your best to the table. If any one of you has a question, comment or concern with any of these issues, please know that I am open and willing to discuss them with you. Please contact me off list at: bubbalove31 at hotmail.com.

Lastly, for the auditions, I wish to remind everyone to prepare a monologue of no more than 3 minutes in length, and to bring a head/face photo.

Oh yeah, the auditions are on the 6th of December, from 1:00p – 6:00p, in the Center House of the Seattle Center campus, room “C”.

Thank you all for your interest in becoming a working member of this festival helping to take SMF 2010 to such heights I don’t think the gods have ever seen!

With perfect trust, and perfect love!

PanisBuck
