Luminarias
I received the message below from Regina Chavez y Sanchez and P.C. McKinnon:
Hello Friends.
PLEASE DISTRIBUTE THIS MESSAGE TO YOUR POET/WRITER FRIENDS.
I'm working with a great committee on the Luminarias event - a poets/writers section we're calling The Writers Block. http://www.luminariasa.com/articles/category/general-info/page/2 Here's the scoop:
Our block of time is this Saturday, March 15, from 6 p.m.-12 midnight at/near the intersection of Broadway and Houston Streets Downtown.
We're organizing around three stages.
Recuerdos - A stage devoted to our poetry ancestors and friends who have passed on. Imagine this - an stage with an altar including papel picado, recuerdos, an image of La Virgen, blown up images of the poets/writers, and video loops of our legendary friends projected onto a screen, or heard from CSs. A music stand and a silent microphone will be symbolically be placed on the stage. A few poets/writers mentioned to be honored are: Gloria Anzaldua, Trinidad Sanchez Jr., raulrsalinas, Sterling Houston, Ricardo Sanchez, Jose Montalvo, and others. NEEDS: DVDs/CDs of the poets being honored. Memorabilia and other altar items (NO ORIGINALS). We need people to help load, unload, and set up. Donations of flowers, papel picado, etc. are needed, as well. Call or e-mail Victoria Garcia at 836-7648 victoria.s.garcia@sanantonio.gov.
Performance - A stage for poets to continuously read their work. A row of luminarias (albeit electric) will be lined up behind the stage to coincide with the Recuerdos stage. The idea is to begin each hour (about 15 minutes) by recognizing dearly departed poets/writers. The hours will be filled out by poets signing up to read open mic. Readers should understand that they will be reading to a street festival audience with a lot of potential activity. NEEDS: Performers. Please fill in the attached form and send it form and fax it to Victoria Garcia, FAX 228-0263.
PLEASE DISTRIBUTE THIS E-MAIL WIDELY TO POETS/WRITERS YOU THINK MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN PERFORMING AND/OR HONORING A DECEASED POET/WRITER.
Interactive Stage - An area where workshops/ongoing lessons/mini-courses will occur and people will be able to write poetry. NEEDS: People to give the lessons, workshops, whatever comes to mind - think of something fun/strange/crazy. E-mail me to pitch your ideas.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Santiago
