Thanks for our BALIFORNIA friends who worked intensively almost a month with more than a week overtimes :-) Raka Cahyadi, Made Pupuan, Ketut Piluk, Agus -who is now in Istambul- Wayan Sujana, and other friends from BALIside. Brian 'Wayan Pedas' Scharf, from FORNIAside with Garret the Vancouver sail master. You guys had been opened our community's eyes to give more values on bamboo. Bamboo can do, man!
Brian and Garret will rebuild the bamboo sculpture we made at the BURNINGMAN FESTIVAL amidst the desert in America in August :-) Go Bamboo Warrior Go!
The SiVA Nest would be materialized soon hopefully :-)
and if its perfect place will be in Thailand, so it will become the first chance for our village crew to give their craftmanship touch to the other side of the world. Thanks for Shavvanah to give us the opportunity. Must be nice to see her son Tiger again :-) an energetic young boy...
The EGG (ElectricGeoGroover a.k.a EkadayaGumiGerit -Balinese for trick in a crisis world) is our next step. Some sketches and model already in our 'incubator'. Will release how it looks when it ready soon.
Three excellent students from Yogyakarta are now staying at our Roemah Kayon compound. They help us while they are practicing their knowledge in mapping and planning. Please see viewturevillage.blogspot.com to know more about their activities. And kindly Search KAYON foundation in wikimapia.org
Only a few days living in our small kampong, they adapted nicely with our daily life.
Wake up early and flocking with peoples at the hot bubur (fourage) spot. A perfect place for to be socialize with the locals. As our Balifornia friend Brian did too :-)
With the community in our banjar (hamlet) we plan a very special performance on the street on the dusk of July 26th. There will be 80 kids of Maha Bajra Sandhi -dancers and gamelan instrument players at the same time-, performing sacred 'music-yoga' for 2 hours. They performed those kind of dance and pakarana gamelan in Athena, Vietnam, and Trowulan in East Java -where the site of the capital city of Majapahit, the greatest kingdom in Nusantara/Indonesia was situated from year 1293 until about the 16th century- . And of course several special spots and occasions in Bali island. It's a very big honor for us that pak Oka Granoka agreed to bring his fantastic group of kids to perform in our small village. Our deepest respect that wise old man, with full gray hair, a man of work, creative minority that always exploring new ideas and gives new breath for old tradition. "the Village is the ATOM of the world" he said :-)
