B&P presents… The Lubberland National Dance Company’s, “13 Dirt Floor Cathedral Dances“
The 13 Dirt Floor Cathedral Dances originate in the paper mache cathedral in Glover, VT, but can also be performed anywhere, provided there is a sprinkle of dirt from the cathedral floor.
The dances include: a forest admiration dance, danced by a NYC rushhour crowd, a deforestation dance, danced by the deforestors to make place for their cars, the dance of the foolish woman, who tries to bring back to life the victims of the bombardments on Gaza, a sermon dance danced by the deeply superstitious practitioners of the paper mache religion and also seven 7-second dances, danced to the sounds of the We-Do-As-Good-As-We-Can Orchestra.
All dancers are professional non-dancers who excel in the advantages of non-professionalism and all are members of the Lubberland National Dance Company. This show is learned and performed in one day by 10-30 local volunteers.
BRING LUBBERLAND TO YOU!

The Story of a Palestinian Youth
The University of Majd is an exhibit of 7 large latex paintings on lightweight fabric and 80 small flower paintings that are meant to surround or separate the panels.
I learned about Majd’s fate from his family whom I met on a recent visit (September 2007) to Ramallah. The text on the panels is from emails which Ed Mast of Seattle, an old friend of Majd’s family, sent home as the case unfolded. I used shroud fabric for the large paintings and discarded window shades and other scrap materials for the flowers to pay my respects to the gigantic garbage problem of Palestine.
Five panels measure approximately 12’ x 7’; one 7’ x 4’; the title panel 10’ x 5.5’.
The exhibit is available on loan for the price of shipping. If you are interested please email Linda Elbow at breadpup@together.net
