looking for a visual artist/lighting artist

[mamasaid]

Hi,

I am planning a concert as part of my graduate work. I am a musician, and for this concert, I'll be conducting about 4 different choral ensembles. (FYI, I do a choir on the playa every year and sing with Acaplaya) but here in the default world, I go to school and this concert is going to be super cool, assuming I can find someone who can create an ambience that fits what I am wanting to do.

This concert is in honor of the great mother. all of the music was chosen or composed with her beauty and grace in mind, some makes us question who we are in relationship with her and where we need to go.

I might have to have this concert in a really drab room in order to get the feel of the seating right, meaning I don't want people to "sit" and watch, clap then leave. I want it more interactive than that. The music will be continuous, and in different places. I want people to be free to have a glass of wine, look at art, be moved by the music, speak, interact and be changed by what they experience.

I need someone who can change the drabness of a large ensemble class room into a beautiful space that feels warm, natural, even forest-like, with lights.

I am asking for a donation in order to pay a few artists, I am not taking any of this as I don't need to. I may have to pay for the space, and all other costs, like food and wine are out of my pocket. So there will be some reimbursement, but I can't guarantee how much. There will be about 100-150 pple there, however.

If this interests you, please get back to me as soon as possible. The gig is May 13th and I am freaking out because I am still trying to decide where this is going to be!!!

thanks,

Madi
