City Celebration, Inc., nationally known as the producing organization<br />
of the acclaimed San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival, has commenced doing<br />
business as WORLD ARTS WEST, A Celebration of Traditional Dance &<br />
Music effective this month. The unanimous decision by the Board of Directors<br />
and staff to undergo the name change and mission statement was done so in<br />
order to more accurately reflect the current and future programming of the 17<br />
year old not-for-profit organization.<br />
The organization's new mission statement reads: World Arts West<br />
presents and promotes world dance and music that reflects America's diversiW<br />
Through performance opportunities, educational activities and cultural<br />
exchange, we seek to inspire innovation and keep alive traditions of the world<br />
around us. ''<br />
World Arts West's (WAW) <strong>1995</strong> producing activities include the<br />
nationally renowned San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival, scheduled for nine<br />
performances June 2--18, at the historic Palace of Fine Arts. Thematic<br />
programming for this year's Festival include: "A Celebration of the Pacific<br />
Islands;,, "Strong Men! Strong Women!;" "Passages: Dances From the Life<br />
Cycle;" and "Global Celebration: A 50th Anniversary Salute to the United<br />
Nations." The 17th annual Ethnic Dance Festival is an official participant in<br />
the United Nations 50th Anniversary San Francisco Celebration.<br />
Other World Arts West activities include a new arts education<br />
program for Bay Area children grades K--6 entitled People Like Me, to be<br />
presented at the Ft. Mason Center Cowell Theater March 28--31. In the fall,<br />
World Arts West will inaugurate the Encounter Series, an adult program of<br />
three different internationally acclaimed dance and music companies (Uganda,<br />
Brazil and Indonesia) scheduled for the Cowell Theater. During the year,<br />
World Arts West will present educational lectures on trends in world dance and<br />
music; outreach performances into select Bay Area communities; costume<br />
exhibits; and guest artist residencies at local colleges.<br />
Please note: World Arts West receives funding for its activities from<br />
a variety of sources including the Grants for the Arts/San Francisco Hotel Tax<br />
Fund, the California Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.<br />
However, federal and state support of the arts & humanities is currently under<br />
threat of being eliminated by members of the new U.S. Congress. Please<br />
consider making a generous donation to World Arts West by using the enclosed<br />
envelope, and help us to maintain quality arts programming for you and your<br />
families.<br />

PRE-CON REPORT<br />
First things first, thanks for supporting Syndi-CON with your membership. We appreciate your support.<br />
Since our emphasis this year is Highlander, it is a given that many of you will have and/or buy swords. The<br />
Cathedral Hill is to be considered holy ground- if you draw your sword we own it (at least for the duration of<br />
the convention). If, as some of you have requested, you want your sword autographed by any of the guest,<br />
you must be escorted by security and the sword must be given to the guest with in its scabbard. If you ignore<br />
these requests you will be barred from the convention.<br />
Second, for those of you coming into the bay area a bit of necessary information.<br />
WEATHER<br />
Remember Mark Twain's comment on San Francisco- ... the coldest winter ojmy life was a summer I spellt in<br />
San Francisco... It can be true, especially if the fog really rolls in from the bay. Unlike other locales the fog<br />
here is wet and cold. For those of you from more northern climes- a sweater should be enough, those from<br />
warmer southern climes might want to bring a coat- especially if you plan to do any sightseeing or go out to<br />
any of the nearby restaurants after dark.<br />
HOTEL<br />
The hotel is located on Van Ness Avenue between Geary and Post. The parking garage ($12.00/day for hotel<br />
guest, $6.00 for 1-Day convention guest) is located under the hotel.<br />
If you are driving to the convention you'll want to get to Van Ness Ave. if you have AAA they will provide<br />
great directions. If you need more help give us a call.<br />
Airport Shuttles<br />
For those of you flying in- there are several ways to the hotel from the airport. A cab costs approximately<br />
$30.00 (ouch) and we recommend using one of the many shuttle services which are readily available- just<br />
follow the signs at the airport to find them. These cost from $10 to $12 per person. If you want to arrange<br />
for a SuperShuttle before you leave home their San Francisco phone number for trips from SFO is (415) 871-<br />
7800.<br />
BART<br />
For all of you local folks whc. plan on taking BART you can either get off at the Embarcadero stop and take a<br />
cable car up to Van Ness (4 blocks from the hotel), or go to the Van Ness stop and catch a bus or hike up Van<br />
Ness to the hotel (I 0 blocks).<br />
Work Outs<br />
If you are one of the m2ny of us who are into sweating -unfortunately the hotel doesn't have a weight/workout<br />
room. However they do have an agreement with the 24-hour Nautilus located one block away. With your<br />
room key you c2n g"·' ;n :0r $5.00 24 hours a day. ·
Scottish Country Dancers<br />
Welcome to world of science fiction media con! It is nice<br />
to return the welcome I received at Mountain View Class.<br />
Let me thank you for particjpating at Syndi-Con 95. The<br />
stage performance will be on the mezzanine level, while the<br />
audience participation will be upstairs on the 4th floor in<br />
the hotel's Japanese Pavilion--aka Scottish Heritage Hall or<br />
Clan Hall. The stage will be at least 28' x 42'. Two small<br />
conference roams on the mezzanine level will be changing roams.<br />
They will not be closely secured. There should be a separate<br />
guest/participate registration line. Your badges will be done<br />
with group name-you can add your own. They will be necessary<br />
to get into other areas of the con. We hope you will come and<br />
enjoy the con and bring friends to help us raise money for the<br />
AIDS charities. The badges are good for all three days.<br />
Please do not transfer them.<br />
The Red Thistle is now scheduled For 2:30 pm Saturday with<br />
audience dancing afterwards. On Sunday with the Dunsmuir, we<br />
had to reverse the order to avoid the draw oF actor Q/A session.<br />
The audience participation will be at noon and stage performance<br />
at 1pm. Jo Hamilton and Friends will have audience dancing on<br />
Friday evening 7 to 8 pm, before the mixer. Dan Otis and Carolyn<br />
Cummings will be the Hall problem solvers during the con. They<br />
will have a table in the Hall.<br />
The St Bridget's Guild and the 77th Regiment will also be<br />
at the con. The guild has taken over the Hall area, but has<br />
been instructed to leave room for the audience dancing. We<br />
do not know how many members will be interested in the audience<br />
dancing versus tl1e other con acti1ities. It has not been<br />
scheduled against what we know would be a big draw, but there<br />
is enough going on that some things are scheduled at same time.<br />
It is better than the usual 4 to 8 tracks of programming at<br />
a con or Highland games.<br />
The casino night is in need of dealers, as some of planned<br />
ones have dropped out. Dan Otis will be doing dealer training<br />
Saturday afternoon, if any of you are interested. Alex Wong is<br />
the one in charge, he can be reached at the con voice mail<br />
510-888-2414. Heather Alexander will be performaning at both<br />
the mixer Friday evening and at the casino night.<br />
My first job and main one during the con is as staff<br />
photographer. It is to provide a scrapebook for the participates<br />
and workers, since they do not get a chance to see the whole<br />
con. I would like to take some posed group pictures, before<br />
or after your performance. I enjoy sharing the pictures and<br />
would be willing to arrange a visit to your meeting so you can<br />
see the pictures if interested. I do take reprint requests.

"Flatfoot and Buck<br />
Dancing,"' ""Big Circle"'<br />
and "Freestyle"<br />
Artistic Director and<br />
Choreographer: Dana<br />
DeSimone<br />
These dances have their roots in Irish step dance, English clogging and Native<br />
American and African American steps. Buck dancing is a predecessor to modern tap<br />
dancing and was done at parties, corn shuckings and molasses makings. They are a<br />
capella and rely only on hands and feet for instrumentation. Big circle dancing involves<br />
more people and freestyle encourages individual style and expression of movement to<br />
the music.<br />
These dances came from the people of North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, West<br />
Virginia, Alabama and Georgia. Costuming is very simple and reflects the poverty of<br />
immigrant Appalachia.<br />
The music is a mixture of Scaijish, Irish and English melodies influenced by African<br />
American rhythms. The dancing is very syncopated and has a heavy down beat.<br />
Cornmashers of San Francisco are a local favorite and have performed numerous times<br />
in the Ethnic Dance Festival.<br />
Dancers: Joe Costa, Dana DeSimone, Holly Earl, Usa Framiglo, J.P. Huka, Leslie Jackson, Kalia Kliban,<br />
Nicole Martinovich, Patti Whitehurst<br />
Musicians: Kathy Hirsch, guitar; Marty )ara, fiddle; Susan Sullivan, fiddle; Undo Wilson, banjo<br />
The older Highland dances of Scotland are traditionally performed with bagpipes.<br />
Outdoor games were held to find the best musicians, dancers and athletes. Country or<br />
ballroom dance was performed indoors, usually accompanied by solo fiddle or small<br />
group. With larger spaces this century, the piano was added.<br />
"Robert the Bruce" is a sprightly jig named for one of Scotland's early kings. "Western<br />
Stars" demonstrates grace, style and strength using traditional figures that make full use<br />
of the stage. "The Moulin Dhu" is a running dance from the Western Islands depicting<br />
the mill and its wheel. It remains a legacy of Scandinavian invaders who conquered<br />
parts of the west in the tenth century. In "The Double Foursome Reel," the dancers<br />
weave in and out using the traveling step to create an endless braid. "Reel of the Black<br />
Cocks" is a dance of sheer exuberance based on a children's game.<br />
The kilt is the ancient everyday wear of the Scot. The woven tartan patterns represent<br />
the clan, or extended family, of the wearer.<br />

Detailed demonstrations of basic steps, 13 figures, and 9 full<br />

Order in PAL or NTSC from TACSOUND per their current price list. Also<br />
available directly from Red Thistle Dancers, c/o Fred Sommer, 360 Bowfin<br />

NTSC, plus shipping and handling of US $3.50 surface or US $6.50 air.<br />
Please include payment in US$ or, at current exchange rates, in ¥, £,A$,<br />
NZ$, French, Swiss, or Belgian Francs with your order.<br />
Within the USA we are charging, $22.95, which includes sales tax. We had been<br />
charging $1.50 for shipping and handling. This does not cover our costs. Mailing<br />
single tapes, averages $3.00. Adding packing materials (padded envelopes or small<br />
boxes) adds another $.30 to $.50. We should therefore add $3.50 to cover our costs.<br />

$22.95 plus $3.50 for shipping and handling within the USA, or $26.45 total.<br />

reordering another 100 tapes in the beginning October time period.

12:30-1:30 Lunch Break. You might plan for your group to bring their own lunch, as there is a nice,<br />
small park area just outside the theater, and of course Plaza Park is just across the<br />
street.<br />
Stage<br />
Reminder- The stage dancing area is 26 feet wide, and 18 feet deep (plus the 8 foot extension on the front).<br />
Plan ahead.<br />
Program<br />
Concert begins at 2:00pm, and we need to start on time. The Red Thistle musicians will provide music<br />
before the concert, and their piper will probably play just outside the theater.<br />
Curtain<br />
We plan to use the main curtain at the beginning and again at the end of each half of the concert. ln<br />
between the groups, we wiH use blackout to make transitions.<br />

I would like to have a short finale, which might go like this:<br />
• The Red Thistle Dancers come in from stage left; make a line; take their bows; move back.<br />
• Ambiente Espaii.ol come in from stage right; make a line; take their bows; move back.<br />
• Their musicians and singer come in from stage right and take bow.<br />
• Ensemble International from stage left; make a line; take their bows; move back.<br />
• Stilt dancers come in from stage right; bow and keep moving across the stage.<br />
• Kw1 Shin from stage right; make a line; take their bows; move back.<br />
• Group Directors please come in with your group and take your own bow, after the group's.<br />
• Everybody come forward and wave.<br />
• Curtain<br />
Being in the finale means your dancers would have to stay in costume until the end. I don't think we'd<br />
need a finale rehearsal, if we keep it simple.<br />
If some or all of your dancers would like to go around to the lobby to greet the departing audience, that<br />
would be nice, but remember that we have to be out of the theater as soon as possible.<br />
- Tickets and Money<br />
As nearly as J can tell, ticket sales are going fairly well. In order for me to know where we stand, and get<br />
box office set up for September 10, I need to have money for the tickets you have sold AND the unsold<br />
to by 6. People wanting tickets can still call me through September 9 to put<br />
hckets m W1ll Call to be piCked up at the box office no later than 1:45 on September lOth.

SUNDAY DECEMBER 3RD. <strong>1995</strong><br />
Program and Lighting suggestions<br />
PROGRAM<br />
PART I<br />
Enter Piper and two highland dancers enter through auditorim. (Easy stage access)<br />
Music- Any suitable march<br />
Lighting- The lights in the auditorium should be dimmed, leaving just enough for the dancers and piper to see the<br />
way to the stage - unless there is a follow spot! ·<br />
WILT THOU COME TO THE BARRACKS JOHNNIE?<br />
Highland Gary/Fred Pipes/ Drum ?<br />
Lighting - All three will be well towards the front of the stage and fairly central. We need good light on them.<br />
If the rear cyclorama is in use, red, perhaps graduated from dark at the bottom to light at the top, is a<br />
good choice for this and the next dance, as both have a military connection.<br />
