Siddhartha at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen

The Storytyme Collective had their first show at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Gardens last Friday. We presented our adaptation Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse through an inter-weaving of music, circus and dance. The setting of the gardens gave us a magical and living world to tell this beautiful story that ultimately leads to the wisdom and wonder of being in tune with nature. We have been asked to do another showing at the gardens but the Collective is leaning towards mid-November for our next showing and Vancouver weather will not likely permit a very dry telling of this show outside! I will introduce you properly to the whole collective....when I'm back from Burning Man, which I should be packing for actually... Oh and the new album is shaping up very nicely. I was recording earlier this week and having a blast with all the nice sounds we can capture at Profile studios - one block away from my home! On to packing!
