Pre-playa preparations

 

 

Some random shots by a part-time photographer (usually otherwise engaged) that happened to work in 3D. All sorts of things missing here...nothing of the Gamelan, for example! Shots from last year will have to do for monkey chant and harmonic singing workshops, etc.


Dragonfly (a/k/a Mahout this year) built a Spirit Lair in which he offered various spiritual and physical practices including the ancient art of henna body painting (mehdi).


Canadian Alison provided the canvas for Mahout's most elaborate composition. A couple days later, she shows off the fading results in front of Dancin Phul's tent.

Dan and Alison near sunset atop the sturdy structure known at "Seven Sticks" that provides both shade for the camp common area and a delightful spot from which to view the playa.


Meredith and Alison maintain that they did no costume coordination pre-playa, this happened serendipitously.


Meredith's virtuouso theremin performance was a key part of the Omphalos ritual (paired, oddly but successfully, with Arjuna's Tibetan horn). She and Dan have known each other since grade school.


Sygyt named himself after the Tuvan word for "whistle," one of the styles of throat singing he teaches at Opera Camp when Arjuna is otherwise engaged.


Derrell led a group of us across the playa to get genital identity cards. This is his payback...


The Go-Go card game reappeared this year. Here Tiff, dared to "trade clothes with a man for an hour," chose Robert who was only wearing a penis sheath. Canadian Alison, given the same dare, traded with Robert again and is wearing Tiff's dress.


 Another Go-Go dare: Emily spent an hour echoing everything Raven, the youngest member of our camp, said or did. Raven caught on very quickly.
