Seven Deadlies

7-deadlies-devil

Mischievous Djinn presents … a delightfully devilish damned show!  Bryant Lake Bowl Theater - on 7/7/09 at 7pm for 7 bucks (we’re cheaper than a movie!).  Seven deadly sins in the hands of 7 local artists.  God only knows what might happen.

Some material may be fabulous and yet utterly inappropriate for minors and persons of delicate sensibilities.  Discretion is advised.

Tickets may be purchased in advance at the BLBT website (a nominal fee applies) and also fee-free in person or reserved via phone at 612-825-8949.

See you soon, Sinner.

Get Your Vernal Stuff On!

It’s a pleasure to join with the good folks of Lake Harrient Spiritual Community at their Vernal Equinox celebration - Saturday evening, 3/21.  We are dancing the parts of the elements - which is a moving and delightful thing.  The music is being provided by none other than the amazing Undercrypt, recording artist Kari Tauring, renowned local songbird Dayna Jean Wolter, and a host of unstoppable drum jammers.

Our sincere thanks to Cassandra Shore for her referral.

We hope to see you there.  WELCOME SPRING!

Rockin’ Fundraiser

Huge kudos to the gals at Bohemian Underground Workshop - who put on a stellar fundraising show to benefit the National Fibromyalgia Association.  The place was packed, the acts were terrific, Asharah kicked serious booty as the guest performing (following a grueling 3-hour workshop earlier in the day) … and much good karma was earned.  Mischievous Djinn was thrilled to be a part of it!  Congrats!

Some Patience

Sincere thanks to everyone who’s written to ask about the next ‘Djinn HARDCORE’ show!  We’re working on it - but our first challenge has been finding a venue for our best ranges of dates.  It’s frustrating, but we’re looking on the bright side:  we might actually manage to have the next one NOT on a holiday weekend and NOT in the freezing cold or broiling heat!  *grin*

Our second challenge is a rapidly-becoming-daunting performance calendar that includes Augusta in June and possibly France in July.  Add these amazing opportunities to our existing stuff then top it off with our delight and unwillingness to ever turn down an invitation, and you have got some fantastic, horrific calendar issues.

So … thank you again for your support and eagerness.  Please know that we are dedicated to the Hardcore shows and are looking forward to the next one with relish-a-go-go!

March … Ides … Blah Blah Blah

Inching ever closer to Spring under a fresh blanket of snow!  Welcome to it!

The Djinn are hard at work doing what they do and ramping up for the first of their local performances post-3rd Coast Tribal in Texas.  It’s a huge year for us with the potential for tons of travel … if we want to scare ourselves, we look at the calendar and let our minds boggle that we’re booked through November now.  Yoinks!  Still … who can’t fit in more dance?  If you still know your own name, you’re not trying!  :-)  Here’s what’s coming up:

On March 14th, Mischievous Djinn will be performing a new piece choreographed by Zuza for the Asharah show.  Put on  by Bohemian Underground Workshop (lovingly called “Boho U”), this not only showcases the amazingness that is visiting dignitary Asharah but benefits the National Fibromyalgia Association.  For more information:  Bohemian Belly Bash.

On March 21st, we’ll be dancing the part of the elemental goddesses in the Spring Equinox celebration at Lake Harriet Spiritual Community in Minneapolis:  LHSC Celebration.  Under the tremendous direction of Steven Johnson, with original music by Undercrypt, the evening promises to be spectacular.

Lots more coming up, but that is the formal stuff for March.  We hope to see you soon!

The 4th Djinniye

It is with great delight and excitement that we announce the newest member of Mischievous Djinn - none other than our own Ms. Zuza!

Zuza has been a tribal force of nature for years - from the formation of Totally Northern Tribal to the stirrings of Boho U guerrilla improv; countless props, solos, productions, travels, and epic acts of dance kindness define her as a jewel within our community. We admire her craziness, her creativity, her dedication to the craft, her expertise, and her professionalism. We feel fortunate to have her as a part of our ensemble and vision.

Welcome, Ms. Zuza - and let’s get this party started! :-)
