Last April, I toured Uganda teaching people how to sew hammocks, and donated four sewing machines to continue the project... which is called Stitch Uganda Together: http://stitchugandatogether.blogspot.com http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=102380&id=906200533#/group.php?gid=2408133160 This April and May I plan to be back in Uganda, and so I'm gathering a crew to tour teaching circus skills, green building and gardening. I'm good with a hoop and can walk a slackline. I love building with bamboo. We'll create the Temple of Lost and Found on the slopes of Mt. Elgon. Think of it as the creative-comfort vibe of a Burning Man camp, crossed with the nature and good food of a rainbow gathering, and lots of kids--very sweet kids, who need lots of love, because their folks died in landslides. This is in connection with a village of 2000 people called Bunabumali, in Uganda, on the border of Kenya. With help from Pacific Domes and Jeff Taylor, I got a 60ft dome from the playa to Mississippi after Katrina to hooked up with a Rainbow kitchen, and we rocked it for nine months. We'll do this grassroots style in Uganda and Mexico too: http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=7741275027359055423 Performers Without Borders has great videos showing their work... and this is the sort of thing we could do: http://www.performerswithoutborders.org.uk/video.html and Lucent Dossier in LA(many you'd know) have also done this sort of playful work: http://current.com/items/77320051/lucent_dossier_vaudeville_cirque.htm Mid-January to mid-february 2009, Action Heroes will be in Roblito and Mazatlan, Mexico for family camp... and the Mazatlan Awareness Festival.
