Review – Rhythmic Circus – FDFMN

11/12/11 – Feet Don’t Fail Me Now, Burnsville, 7:30pm
Review of Feet Don’t Fail Me Now (FDFMN)
I am not what you would call a “dance” type of person, or someone who would go out of my way to see tap dancing. I’m more of a “what color of flannel should I wear today” type of person.
Through a friend, I heard about this crazy, hyper person named Ricci Milan and the Feet Don’t Fail Me Now show that Rhythmic Circus puts on. We had the privilege to see them in Burnsville in November of last year.
I now have not only a t-shirt, a CD, but a friendship with these cats.
They put on an amazing high-energy show of dancing, humor, music, all wrapped within a positive message. It seems to be a rare occurrence where family can enjoy an evening together, with children of all ages laughing and stomping their feet along side their parents. Rhythmic Circus provides that atmosphere and entertainment.
They are gathering their friends and forces in an effort to get on the Ellen Degeneres show, and after that, off-broadway. Please check out their website and Facebook pages.

Marya Hornbacher Interview
11/04/2011 By
The recently conducted interview with Marya Hornbacher is now online at The Edge.
Marya Hornbacher, a Pulitzer Prize and Pushcart Prize nominee, has written several books dealing with various mental illnesses, including eating and bipolar disorders. Her books have been translated into multiple languages and are taught as part of coursework at universities and literature programs in the United States and Europe.
Marya’s previous book, Sane: Mental Illness, Addiction, and the Twelve Steps, was written as a guide for those dealing with addictions and mental illness. Her most recent is Waiting: A Nonbeliever’s Higher Power (Hazelden). Written by someone who does not believe in God and has been through AA and the 12-steps, it provides a working and grounded guide to spirituality, while exploring the principles within the Big Book.

10/27/11 – A Fragmented Evening
10/30/2011 By
We spent the evening at the Historic Mounds Theatre ( http://www.moundstheatre.org/ ) as part of “Pieces” by Incision. Broken into chapters, words and narration by Hanakia Zedek ( http://www.hanakiazedek.org/ ) music and video provided a dramatic soundscape and landscape for what hides and feeds within.
From the copy for the event:
Incision
PIECES
It’s About the Fragmentation of the Human Psyche from a Monster From Within Perspective
PIECES is a collaboration between Hanakia Zedek, Sal aka TheDarkCloak, and Steve Larson. PIECES is an intricate and fierce soundscape and soundtrack written around the dramatic writings and readings of Hanakia Zedek (In the intro “The Wake” is written by TheDarkCloak and “The Call” is written by Mia Jessica).
The Theatre becomes the fragile fragmentation of the disastrous human mind and the participants become part of the experience.
The Historic Mounds Theatre is the perfect setting and Halloween the perfect time of year for the salute to “The Monster Within” genre and beyond.
So come, sit back, and brace for impact! You’ll be taken for a ride through the human mind…so hang tight… embrace the monster within – s’gonna be a bumpy ride!
