| Fairy Tale of the Snow Prince |
[Dec. 10th, 2007|02:26 am] |
For those of you who were unable to attend DC Radical Faerie Yule, here is a snippet of the action from the evening. This is the performance for which I sewed all those kimonos. This is the Fairy Tale of the Snow Prince. I apologize for the unbelievably shitty rendering on this, but it really is the best I could do so far. It's actually better if you watch it in the smallest screen rather than blowing it up to full screen.
For the record these were the actors:
Kikori - ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) dmlaenker
Yuki - fritterfae
Blizzard (fubuki) - jcruisedirector
Frost (Shimo) - c4bl3fl4m3
Iceberg (Hyozan) - Just Julie
Glacier (Hyoga) - Anne
Narrator - eeldritch
The play was written by me, costumes by me, and makeup was done by jcruisedirector. Music was provided by kiltedcubpa (Drum) and Thyme (viola).
And for the record, we only rehearsed this moments before we performed it. Only two people were clued into how this was going to work until the day of the event, but it worked. Gods be praised.
Oh, and this is my first official YouTube video, and hopefully they will be less shitty after this one. |

| A Very Yaoi Yule |
[Nov. 19th, 2007|12:41 am] |
Today we were planning out the ritual for the DC Radical Faeries Yule. We usually have lots of singing and dancing and there's often some kind of play. Well, this year there will be singing and dancing and a very unusual play.
For some reason I was thinking of the blizzard scene from Akira Kurosawa's "Dreams". In that scene a mountaineering expedition becomes lost in a blizzard and can't find their way back to base camp. The men then see a vision of a beautiful woman in the snow who may lead them back to camp or lead them to their deaths. The scene seemed to resonate with me this morning and I read some more about this legend of the snow woman, Yuki-onna. I brought this idea to the meeting today and we started outlining this story of a mountaineer who becomes lost in the snow who has a dream of a palace of ice and the beautiful prince of snow. This dream turns into a moment of love at first sight between the two of them, but the closer they come together the more the mountaineer becomes frozen. Their's is a love that cannot be.
So I'm going to write up this play tomorrow. I'm going to try and do the whole thing in a very edited highly scripted series of haiku.
It's going to be totally incredible.
For those who wish to attend Yule will be:
When: Saturday December 8, 7:00 p.m.
Where: The Universalist Church, 16th and S St NW
Refreshments and entertainments will be provided. |
