The Bowen Island Black Sheep Morris dancers, cultural ambassadors of Bowen Island, are performing in England from Apr 29 to May 12, and we NEED YOUR HELP! We're a mixed group of dancers, musicians, artists, and plain island folk, who love to dance and play in public places. Morris dance, an ancient tradition from England, is our thing. We dance and perform for free for many community events around Bowen and Vancouver, and we have travelled and performed the east and west coasts of the U.S.
Generally we don't get paid, so we need your help to carry on this ancient tradition, and to fund our trip to England! The majority of our performances are FREE, many in support of our island groups and causes. Since our start in 2001 we have: raised money for the Bowen food bank and Christmas hamper, danced for affordable housing, put on a maypole dance, danced for Union Steamship days, Bowen xmas lightup, TirNaNog theatre school, and many more! For 5 years we nurtured our kids group, the Bowen Black Lambs, free of charge, and hope to get a new batch of lambs started again. Some consider us Bowen Island's cultural ambassadors!
Who we are? The Black Sheep range in age from 15 to 'over' 70, with about 16 active members. Our youngest members are students who really need our support to make this trip. With 12 sheep going to England the total cost of the trip will exceed $30,000 for airfare, accomodations, rental vehicles, and a modest food budget. Since 2009 we have raised over $8,000, approximately $14,000 will be paid by individuals who have the means, leaving the balance of $8,000 we need YOUR HELP to raise! We are subsidizing the cost of the rental vehicles, and part of the costs of our "low-income" sheep.
We LOVE performing for you, and humbly ask for your help to "Get the Flock OFF the Rock" to England!

Everything you ever wanted to know or not about Holography... Your choice of any or all of the following, or whatever we can cram into an hour: Weird History (lensless photography, cold war stuff and the invention of the laser), Theory ( How does it work? Non-mathematical explanation of Interference of coherent light ), Technical holography ( Holographic Optics, holographic optical storage, Interferometry....) Art and display holography (REAL 3D images!), Anti counterfeiting and document protection optical devices (like on your drivers license, currency and passport!), What is not holography but is called holography... like 3D images projected at Disney Land.
