The Salon at Synchronicity LA

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

Posted by Maxey Fish and Sea

Every two weeks we wrangle up poets, musicians, writers, artists, performers of all kinds and create a venue to share works of creativity. We call it the Salon. Here’s a taste. YOU should come and share or just watch or drink or chat or throw tomatoes.
Music compliments of beloved Synchronicity member, Amelie Julac.

Fellow Synchronicity LA brother Poet John Paul the Third performs his spoken word piece, “Dedication to Women Who Love Women.” When JP3 and I shared a room we’d improvise a little spoken word/slide guitar combination. Here we are collaborating at a recent Salon.

We so love the amazing women of and around Synchronicity LA.

Our neighbor Tin performs another hit of hers, Mr. Shoeshine.

MORE ABOUT THE SALON

A fortnightly forum for performers, writers, musicians, and artists to meet, share, network, socialize, inspire and be inspired!

The gathering will provide: 1) a space for us to have our work seen where we can receive comments and critiques if we so choose (after everyone shares), 2) a supportive community and the possibility to network/collaborate with other creators, and 3) an outside motivation to proceed with projects that may otherwise disappear into the ether!

Projects need not be finished; you can be at any point in the creative process, and the Salon may serve to help you find direction and/or as a regular check-in on progress. All art is welcome… acoustic music, spoken word, poetry, prose, dancing, clowning, stand-up comedy, weird performance-arty stuff, paintings, drawings, sculpture… whatever you want to share.

In open-mic fashion, there will be sign-up slots so that there’s a structure to it, and some sort of time limit so that everyone gets their turn. Afterwards, we can just hang out and make merry and magic! Feel free to bring wine, but don’t puke on the poetry.

We’re just starting this up, so the day may change, but it will be happening every other week on Westmoreland Blvd.

Flapper garb encouraged but not mandatory.

Men On Wire

Feast your eyes on the wildest slacklining tricks in the west. Justin from Down Under and Yankee boys Joe and Ryan bring on the bag o’ tricks–everything from the Sit Down to the Prince of Persia.

Back in the yesteryears, slacklining was a welcome sport at venice beach. But it is no longer. Isn’t that a bundle of rotten beans?
