Many of you have attended Flourish Before the Flood - the experimental site specific performance we kick off each year's festival with. Set in the Granite Creek bed in downtown Prescott, it really is the secret Tsunami - the no holds barred, let it all out, ACLU on speed-dial part of the festival. If you are looking for the bleeding edge of new performance in rural Arizona, its happened at Flourish.
Many of you also know Flourish Before The Flood has also been underwritten by generous grants from a certain national corporation in the past. With the economic down turn, those grants are a faded memory and we turn to the fans of Flourish to decide its fate.
This year's performers are a group of recent Prescott College grads who turned heads in the local dance community with their final projects. They've taken on the task of bringing Flourish back to the creek bed and into the mind of a young man bamboozled by life and haunted by faerie folk. I think you're going to love it.
And to make sure we can "Put on a Show in the Creek Bed" we have, yes, another fundraiser. Sorry about the late notice, but I think you'll find it a treat, dancing to the the infamous, the beloved, the "no bootie left unshaken" Moving Edge Ensamble. See ya there, Tsunamistas!
