Remember, Dream

a Singing Mask Ceremony with Sound/Video Dreamscape
by Zera Bloom & Norman Lowrey

Dream is a state of unification and of wholeness -- a coming together of memory and imagination into one present moment. It allows for non- logical meetings of people and juxtapositions of landscape. -Zera Bloom

All are invited to be present in Dream Time, listening into the moment, discovering who we are in this moment, within and without, listening, sounding, moving, seriously playing the moment, exploring the moment as a community of listeners/viewers. A sound/video dreamscape which has evolved from Norman's prior Singing Mask ceremonies, his work from 2009, "Mysterium Magnum", home videos and recent electronic music by Zera will accompany us in this journey.

When possible to be presented live as a shared dream, Zera and Norman will explore and guide us into the present moment with sound/movement/Singing Masks as we are all interdependently interconnected within the intricate interwoven depths and delights of Dream Time.

We will now explore further ways of reaching our lives, the new world. My own life, yours; this earth, this moon, this system, the 'space' we share, which is consciousness. -Muriel Rukeyser
